NSERC /Hydro-Quebec/Natural Resources Canada/Emerson Canada Industrial Research Chair on Industrial Energy Efficiency

这项提议是在副教授S·巴斯蒂安·庞塞的指导下，将舍布鲁克大学(UDES)机械工程系国家能源研究委员会关于工业能效的教席续期5年。合作伙伴是加拿大魁北克水电公司、加拿大自然资源公司的CanmetEnergie和艾默生加拿大公司。主席是根据2014年至2019年第一次任务期间取得的成果担任的。凭借140万美元的现金捐助预算，第二项任务将使该行业能够充分挖掘这些成果的潜力，同时在UDES提供这一战略领域的科学调查。目标是从积极的角度开发高效技术、新知识和数字工具，以帮助加拿大工业提高其流程的能源效率，并逐步禁止使用对环境有高影响的制冷剂。主席还旨在培训这一领域的19名高素质人员。主席的研究计划涵盖了“工业能效”的总主题，并围绕着涉及供暖和制冷应用的热系统的战略应用：使用自然制冷剂的热泵、用于食品工业的冷能存储系统和基于喷射器的技术。这8个项目中的每一个都包括实验和数值研究，并将导致开发用于设计和优化目的的数值工具，以及从实验室到中试规模的新原型。

The proposal is the renewal, for a 5-year period, of a NSERC chair on industrial energy efficiency in the mechanical engineering department at Université de Sherbrooke (UdeS), under the direction of the Associate Professor, Sébastien Poncet. The partners are Hydro-Québec, CanmetEnergie of Natural Resources Canada and Emerson Canada. The chair is based on the results obtained during a first mandate between 2014 and 2019. With a 1.4 M$ budget of cash contributions, this second mandate will allow the industry to exploit the full potential of these results, while providing a scientific survey at UdeS in this strategic area. The objectives are the development of efficient technologies from an energetic point of view, new knowledge and numerical toolsthat will help Canadian industries improving the energy efficiency of their processes and ban progressively the use of refrigerants with a high environmental impact. The chair also aims at training 19 highly qualified personnel in this area. The chair's research program covers the general theme of "Industrial Energy Efficiency" and revolves around strategic applications involving thermal systems for both heating and cooling applications: heat pumps using natural refrigerants, cold energy storage systems for the food industry and ejector-based technologies. Each of the 8 projects includes experimental and numerical studies and will lead to develop both numerical tools for design and optimization purposes but also new prototypes from the laboratory to the pilot scale.
