Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de dissipation de chaleur et un procédé de fonctionnement utilisant le fluide actif hygroscopique destiné à être utilisé dans une large variété d'environnements pour que l'eau absorbée dans le fluide actif hygroscopique soit libérée pour réduire la consommation d'eau dans l'appareil du système de dissipation de chaleur pour un refroidissement efficace dans des environnements ayant peu d'eau disponible pour une utilisation dans des systèmes de refroidissement. Le système comprend un fluide actif hygroscopique de faible volatilité pour rejeter l'énergie thermique directement dans l'air ambiant. La nature de faible volatilité et hygroscopique du fluide actif empêche l'évaporation complète du fluide et une consommation nette d'eau de refroidissement, et l'échange de chaleur par contact direct permet la création de grandes surfaces interfaciales pour un transfert de chaleur efficace. Des procédés spécifiques de fonctionnement empêchent la cristallisation de l'agent déshydratant du fluide actif hygroscopique dans diverses conditions environnementales.

Abstract: The invention relates to a temperature management system for a private household or a public building. Temperature management systems are known to be elaborate and expensive. The system of the present invention uses a hot reservoir, a cold reservoir and at least one solar collector installed outdoors, which is coupled to the hot reservoir or to the cold reservoir for the purpose of heating or cooling the respective reservoir.  A heat transfer medium circulates in a circuit through the heating spiral or through the cooling spiral. Valves are set so that the circuit is closed in a daytime operation via the heating spiral or in a nighttime operation via the cooling spiral. In the daytime operation heat is transported from the solar collector to the hot reservoir. In the nighttime operation heat is transported from the cold reservoir to the solar collector.

Abstract: Methods for material build-up on a tip of a blade of a gas turbine engine are provided. The method can include inserting a material supply and an inflatable bladder between the tip and a shroud such that the material supply is exposed to the tip and the inflatable bladder is positioned between the material supply and a shroud, inflating the inflatable bladder to force contact between the material supply and the tip, and causing relative movement between the material supply and the tip. The relative movement, in combination with the radial biased contact between the material supply and the tip, creates heat through friction. As such, the relative movement can frictionally weld new material from the material supply onto the tip of the blade. For example, the heat created can be sufficient to melt the surface of the material supply to transfer material from the material supply to the tip.
