  2. 1. Some Factors Influencing Thermal Comfort and Air Quality in Residential Buildings. Field Measurements and Laboratory Tests

    Author : Ulf Krüger; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ventilation; air intakes; thermal comfort evaluation; air velocity; indoor air quality; air supply devices; occupation zone; air temperature fluctuations;

    Abstract : The main prerequisite for applying a specific ventilation system in residential buildings is that the demands set upon the indoor air quality and thermal climate can be satisfied. If this cannot be guaranteed using a simple exhaust system, a system with treated supply air, i.e. balanced ventilation, should be considered. READ MORE

  4. 2. Air jets in ventilation applications

    Author : Yue Zou; KTH; []
    Keywords : Air jet; velocity; ventilation; CFD; measurement;

    Abstract : The purpose of air distribution systems for HVAC is tocreate proper air quality and thermal conditions in an occupiedzone. In mixing type air distribution systems air is suppliedinto a room through various types of outlets and distributed byturbulent air jets. These air jets are the primary factorsaffecting room air motion. READ MORE

  5. 3. Frosting and Defrosting of Air-Coils

    Author : Per Fahlén; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; heat pump; defrost; air-coil; air-source; control; frost; optimized;

    Abstract : Experience indicates that air-source heat pumps have more operating problems than ground-source heat pumps. One major factor pertains to the effects of frosting and the subsequent need for defrosting. This thesis reviews previous research and practical experience and presents novel experimental facilities to investigate the process of frosting. READ MORE

    Abstract : A chute spillway is a typical component of large dams for discharging floods. Because of the high water head, the flow velocity in the chute is often in excess of 20 m/s. Consequently, the structure is usually prone to cavitation damages. Flow aeration is evidenced to efficiently eliminate or to mitigate the damages. READ MORE

  7. 5. Air-sea exchange of O2 and CO2 : Processes controlling the transfer efficiency

    Author : Andreas Andersson; Anna Rutgersson; Brian Ward; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; air-sea flux; oxygen; transfer velocity; water-side convection; Arctic; UVCN; Meteorology; Meteorologi;

    Abstract : World oceans cover more than 70% of the earth surface and constitutes a major sink of atmospheric CO2. Two of the most important gases in the marine carbon cycling are O2 and CO2 and hence accurate descriptions of the air-sea gas exchange of these gases are crucial. READ MORE
