Professor Bob Critoph
Bob leads Warwick Sustainable Thermal Energy Technologies research group. His research concentrates on sorption systems that can be used for heat driven heat pumps – for example a gas-fired heat pump with significantly less consumption than a gas boiler. Other sorption applications include heat transformers that can upgrade industrial waste heat to higher temperatures and thermochemical heat stores.
Bob is director of Lot-NET, a five-year interdisciplinary collaboration researching the integration of low temperature networks with heat pump and thermal storage technologies to maximise waste and ambient heat utilisation in low or zero-carbon solutions. Bob is also Principle Investigator on several other projects including 4S-DHW, a project investigating how domestic hot water can be provided using low carbon heat pump technology, and BEIS Adsorpton Heat Pump, a government funded project to develop the next generation of common domestic gas boilers.
Dr Stan Shire
Stan is Associate Professor of Sustainable Energy Systems in the School's Mechanical and Process Engineering stream. His research is focused around solar energy, energy storage, phase change materials, recovery of waste heat, thermo-chemical storage and upgrading of thermal energy and thermally driven cooling technology.
Work on Solar Energy, Thermal Systems and Energy Storage is central to much of the research carried out within the University of Warwick's Global Research Priority (GRP) on Energy, for which Stan is the academic theme lead in Thermal Energy and Solar Energy Research Themes. He is also a Co-Investigator on LoT-NET.
Dr Zac Tamainot-Telto
Zac is Associate Professor of Refrigeration, Heat Pump and Energy Conservation. He was previously trained in France at University of Nancy I and National Institute of Applied Sciences, where he completed his PhD. His early research work was on the development of cost effective variable cooling load of conventional air conditioning systems in partnership with EDF.
He has contributed to modelling, designing, building and testing successful proof of concept prototypes. His previous projects include a 5 kW chiller using waste exhaust heat of a gas fired co-generator, a 2 kW cooling air conditioning unit for the Fiat Stilo car using waste heat from engine coolant and a 2 kW cooling solar driven mobile container for food storage in the desert. He has also been involved in industrial projects for development of compact Ammonia storage modules for NOx conversion through Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) in automotive and public funded project for development of Smart Hybrid Refrigeration Systems.
