Raniero Trinchieri

 

Raniero graduated as Mechanical Engineer at “La Sapienza” University of Rome. Since 2005 he works in ENEA (Laboratory of Thermal Fluid-Dynamics Applied to Energy Systems - Technical Unit for Advanced Technologies for Energy and Industry) where he was involved in applied research on different aspects of the two-phase thermo-fluid dynamics. Currently, is studying issues related to the replacement of CFCs and HCFCs in refrigeration and air conditioning with natural fluids (CO₂ in particular), as the experimental evaluation of global performances of prototypes and components of the thermodynamic circuit with reference to particular applications. During his work experience he collaborated on several group projects, also as technical manager of the research team. He has attended several master thesis in engineering, and has participated in several national and international conferences and he has published papers on Italian and international journals.
