Projects currently being undertaken:

• Decarbonization of Low TemperAture Process Heat Industry, DELTA PHI

• To reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with low-temperature process heat generation and meet UK targets, the project authors propose a new approach. In their method, heat is more effectively used within the industrial process and/or exported to meet heat demands in the neighbouring area. This allows significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions per unit industrial production to be achieved and potentially provide an additional revenue source. Ulster will develop high-temperature heat pumps. 

• Heat Pump Fully Integrated with Thermochemical Store (HP-FITS)

• The concept is to store heat at the consumer's (domestic or commercial) heat pump so that the heat pump can operate when most advantageous to the system, i.e. when there is surplus renewable electricity (predominantly wind and PV). 

• Low Temperature Heat Recovery and Distribution Network Technologies (Lo-NET)
