Under the Dome: An Educational Journey into Urban Energy Solutions
The project aims to create a miniaturized model of energy systems for future cities, designed as an educational environment for KTH students. This initiative will develop a compact system that replicates the functionality of various real-world energy subsystems, including energy demand (e.g., buildings) and sustainable supply technologies.

HYSTORE - Hybrid services from advanced thermal energy storage systems
The project HYSTORE (nr. 01096789) is a Horizon project where, KTH Royal Institute of technology is developing one of four thermal energy storage (TES) solutions within the project: PCM HEATING solution. This is a pilot-scale TES using phase change materials (PCMs), designed, constructed and techno-economically optimized in combination with a heat pump.

EcoPack 3
Synthetic refrigerants with high GWP are being substituted in refrigeration and heat pump systems for highly flammable hydrocarbons. To maintain safety with these fluids it is essential that the charge of refrigerant is low. EcoPack3 is the third in a series of projects where we develop heat pump components and systems with low charge. We have demonstrated the design of a heat pump with 12 kW capacity using only 120g of isobutane as refrigerant. This has been achieved by using very compact heat exchangers and the type of compressors used in electric cars.
