Students: Doctor's Degree: 2, Licenciatura: 6, Master's Degree: 8.

Group aims

To carry out applied research and technological development in the areas of refrigeration and heat pumps. To develop and build refrigeration advance systems, heat pumps and absorption heat transformers that operate with renewable energy sources, as solar, geothermal or industrial waste heat. To accomplish studies, to counsel, and to train in the areas of refrigeration, heat pumps, drying and energy saving.

Research lines:

    1. Heat pumps.
    2. Heat transformers.
    3. Solar drying / heat pumps.
    4. Solar absorption refrigeration,
    5. Thermochemical and ejecto compression.
    6. Thermal and thermodynamic processes simulation.
    7. Energy saving in conventional refrigeration systems.
    8. Determination of thermophysical and thermochemical properties of refrigerant / absorbent mixtures.
