Forskerholdet fra Energi afdelingen ved Politecnico di Milano (POLIMI), koordinator for DESOLINATION-projektet, har med succes simuleret storskala koncentrerede solenergianl\u00e6g (CSP) ved hj\u00e6lp af innovative CO2-blandinger, hvilket forbedrer deres effektivitet og ydeevne. Derudover introducerede de CO2+SiCl4-blandingen i litteraturen for transkritiske cyklusser, hvilket viser dens potentiale til at forbedre cyklus-effektiviteten. Det seneste \u00e5r har POLIMI gjort betydelige fremskridt inden for udvikling og simulering af termodynamiske cyklusser ved hj\u00e6lp af CO2-blandinger. Her er nogle af de vigtigste milep\u00e6le og resultater. Hvad ang\u00e5r anvendelsen af CO2-blandinger i termodynamiske cyklusser, blev arbejdet udviklet b\u00e5de p\u00e5 simuleringen af storskala CSP-anl\u00e6gget med innovative CO2-blandinger, introduktionen af CO2+SiCl4-blandingen i litteraturen for transkritiske cyklusser, og tilf\u00f8jelse af detaljer om simuleringerne og designet af DESOLINATION-projektets demonstrationsanl\u00e6g, 1,8 MWel cyklussen der opererer med CO2+SO2-blandingen.<div class=\"et_pb_module dsm_card dsm_card_0 et_pb_bg_layout_light  dsm_card_layout_stacked\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module_inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"dsm_card_image_wrapper dsm_card_badge_top_right\"><div class=\"dsm_card_image_background dsm_card_img\"><\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module dsm_card_wrapper et_pb_text_align_left\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"dsm_card_subtitle\">\u201dEksperimentel<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_button_wrapper\"><a class=\"et_pb_button et_pb_more_button\" href=\"\">\u201dL\u00e6s<\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/p>","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":9586,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[30,72],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6551","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-milestones","category-results-combination-of-csp-pland-and-forward-osmosis-desalination"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/desolination.eu\/da\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6551","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/desolination.eu\/da\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/desolination.eu\/da\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/desolination.eu\/da\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/desolination.eu\/da\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6551"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/desolination.eu\/da\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6551\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10023,"href":"https:\/\/desolination.eu\/da\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6551\/revisions\/10023"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/desolination.eu\/da\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9586"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/desolination.eu\/da\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6551"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/desolination.eu\/da\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6551"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/desolination.eu\/da\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6551"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
