History of the Project

• Background research and collaboration: EPSRC project (UK) in heat transfer intensification (2009 – 2011)

• Initiated by UNIMAN, PIL and CALGAVIN mid 2009• PIL assumed coordinating role (mid 2009)• Submitted to FP7-SME-2010-1 (Dec 2009)• Invitation to commence contract negotiations

(March 2010)• Negotiations completed end September 2010• Project commenced 1 December 2010

Project Overview

Intensified Heat Transfer Technologiesfor Enhanced Heat Recovery - INTHEAT

Contract number: 262205

Starting date: 1 December 2010

Duration: 24 months

Project Objectives• Enhancing our understanding of heat exchange under

fouling • Technical innovation for heat transfer intensification for

heat recovery • Proposing new materials of improved economic and

environmental performance as heat transfer media (with focus on advanced heat exchanger with polymer materials

• Combining enhanced heat transfer innovative design with process integration to achieve the synergy of novel technologies

• Demonstration of applicability and economic-environmental benefit of novel heat-transfer enhancement techniques and the new design methods proposed

• Effective technology transfer to the wide range academic and industrial communities

Project Deliverables

• 19 deliverables of them 7 confidential, 12 public

• Deliverables shall be submitted to EU within 45 days following the end of the planned date

• The coordinator will distribute the template for the project deliverables in January

• Lead participant: Coordinates the preparation of the Deliverables, ensures contribution from partners is prepared on time, ensures quality of Deliverable

Project Deliverables

Need to be submitted using the electronic system

Financial Guidelines

• Each SME (Contractor) should sign a sub-contracting agreement with RTD Partners (Sub-Contractors) who carry out the research work for them.

• The Coordinator will circulate draft sub-contracting agreement in next few days.

Financial GuidelinesSuggested distribution of sub-contracting payments

in line with the DoW’s Tables A3 and B3

1,050,000

Financial Guidelines

Will be circulated among Partners

Financial Guidelines

• The pre-finance has been sent to the Coordinator, but due to technical issues had to be sent back to REA. The pre-finance is due to arrive in January-February.

• Pre-finance has been EUR 635,250 which is 635,250 / 1155000 = 0.55 of the overall requested EU contribution. Hence the prepayment will be distributed proportionally to the total EU contribution to each partner
