lab_RACSE NTUA

The Laboratory of Refrigeration, Air Conditioning and Solar Energy of the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) is located at the School of Mechanical Engineering in the NTUA Zografou Campus.The laboratory includes academic, research, and technical staff, as well as numerous PhD candidates, postdoctoral researchers, and diploma students. 
Research activities focus on the simulation of solar thermal systems, emphasizing concentrating solar thermal collectors, photovoltaic systems, thermodynamic cycles, thermal energy storage, as well as multigeneration systems. The lab also conducts extensive work on energy efficiency in buildings as well as passive and nearly zero-energy building (nZEB) simulations using EnergyPlus, TRNSYS, DesignBuilder, PHPP, and IDA ICE. In the field of refrigeration, it studies cooling systems, heat pumps, and supercritical CO₂ systems for commercial applications. 
The purpose of this channel is to provide helpful material for the students.
