Hydrocarbons, and especially propane, is about to become the standard refrigerant in some of the heat pump sectors in Europe. Due to the flammability, safety is always a concern with these fluids. In this webinar, we are reporting on some of the work done in the IEA HPT Project 64, Safety with flammable refrigerants. Everything cannot be told in 90 minutes, but you will hear about some interesting aspects on the topic, and you will have the opportunity to ask questions to the speakers.
Titles of the presentations, names and affiliations of the speakers:
- Introduction to Project 64 on Safety with flammable refrigerants, Björn Palm, KTH Royal Institute of Technology
- Experimental Study of R-290 Leakage Behavior, Jafar Esmaeelian, KTH Royal Institute of Technology
- Austrian survey on the frequency, location, and detection of leaks in heat pump and cooling systems up to 50 kW nominal capacity, Bernd Windholz, Austrian Institute of Technology
- Limits of modelling approach for refrigerant charge assessment in residential heat pumps, Maëlle Journay, EDF
- Interpolation approaches to improve the exploitation of sparse sensor matrix in indoor release experiments, Arpit Baranwal, Fraunhofer ISE
