Research conducted at the Laboratory of Applied Thermodynamics, Cooling Technology and Refrigerated Vehicles covers the following areas among others:
- Thermodynamic properties of materials for the development of new experimental techniques for property measurements, and the utilization of computational methods to predict them.
- Thermodynamic modeling and simulation for the development of mathematical models of thermodynamic systems, and the utilization of computational methods to study and simulate their thermodynamic behavior.
- Heat engines and refrigerators, heat exchangers, mechanical and heat-driven cooling systems (experimental and computational methods).
- Thermal energy storage and conversion towards the design and application of new technologies for energy conversion, and the utilization of materials/media for energy storage, such as phase-change materials or super capacitators.
- Sustainable energy towards the development of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) technologies or the optimization of energy systems to reduce environmental impact of buildings and industrial facilities.
