Shuai Ren

Shuai Ren is a Research Fellow at the Department of Energy and Process Engineering, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). His research focuses on high-temperature heat pumps, heat and mass transfer, and computational fluid dynamics, with applications in industrial refrigeration and food processing. He is part of the ENOUGH project, exploring sustainable energy solutions.

Key research interests include absorption-compression heat pump systems, CO2-based refrigeration technologies, and optimization of thermal systems for industrial use. His work addresses energy efficiency and sustainable energy integration in sectors like dairy processing and food manufacturing.

Recent publications emphasize experimental and numerical studies of heat pump performance, including oil-free systems and ammonia-water mixtures. He has presented at international conferences such as the IIR Gustav Lorentzen Conference and the International Congress of Refrigeration.

Shuai Ren advised the 2023 Master's thesis 'Utilization of surplus heat from the organic dairy at Røros.' His research collaborations involve institutions like the International Institute of Refrigeration and projects targeting low-carbon energy solutions.
