| Summary: | The efficient use of energy is a major issue nowadays. Environmental and economic purposes push
various investigations to focus on the performances of energy systems and equipment. In the context
of the coming energy transition, Heat, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems will certainly
take an increasing and worldwide importance. In this work, energy and exergy analysis are used to
assess the performances of each component of an air treatment station. Results of energy and exergy
analysis for each process are presented. The most important result is that simple heating and cooling
processes with deshumidification have the worst exergy efficiencies; and that both processes represent
almost all the exergy losses of the studied HVAC system. === Tesis |
