Thermal Energy Engineering cover the heat transfer in its three basic modalities: conduction, convection and thermal radiation; as well as its most immediate application, the heat exchangers. It comprises the thermodynamic processes of the humid air, which are reflected through the psychrometry.
It also addresses the heat generation through the knowledge of the combustion and the fuels, as well as heat generators: boilers, hot water and hot air generators; it also comprises the cold production through the different systems of refrigeration and the description of their fundamental elements.
The field of activity of this research group is the Thermal Energy Engineering applied to buildings with the aim to achieve an adequate hydrothermal conditioning of indoor spaces, providing both thermal comfort and air quality.
The research group Thermal Energy Engineering is located in the High Technical School of Industrial Engineering and is composed by the members of the Recognized Research Group (GIR) of the University of Valladolid and those of the Consolidated Research Unit (UIC) of the Regional Government of Castile and Leon. The GIR members are lecturers and researchers from the Department of Thermal Engineering and Fluid-mechanics and they also are members of the UIC 053, including lecturers and researchers from the Department of Organic Chemistry.
The group carries out academic, research, teaching, advisory and consultancy activities that are based on the following research lines:
Good practices for a comfortable, healthy and efficient housing
