title: High efficient heat pump system using storage tanks to increase COP by means of the ISEC concept. 2: thermal storage system.

description: The Isolated System Energy Charging (ISEC) concept allows for a high efficiency of a heat pump system for hot water production. The ISEC concept consists of two water storage tanks, one thermally charged and one thermally discharged. The charged tank is used for the industrial process, while the discharged tank is used for charging. The charging of the tank is done by recirculating water through the condenser and thereby gradually heating the water. The paper presents the description and the results from the dynamic modelling of the thermal storage system. Furthermore, an experimental test set up of the thermal storage system is reported, and the results are analyzed. The results show a significant improvement of the heat pump efficiency due to the thermal stratification in the storage tanks.

title: Designing a near zero energy supermarket - Minimising energy use and ensuring the supply of renewable energy.

description: This paper describes the principles for retrofit design of Near Zero Energy supermarkets, i.e. to minimize the energy use and ensure that the remaining energy needs are met by a supply of renewable energy. Pressure for energy improvement of buildings has increased steadily over the last couple of decades. Several different aspects must be considered in the design of a supermarket - some of which are described in this paper – such as requirements, refrigerated appliances, lighting and other equipment, building technical services systems, building envelope, energy supply, energy storage, life cycle costs and consideration of the needs of those using the building. For a supermarket, special attention must be given to the food, personnel and customers, three categories with differing environmental requirements. Different designs for retrofit energy efficiency improvement installations are compared and suggested for two existing stores: one in a free-standing building, and one in a larger property.

title: Synthetic J-H-K-W1-W2-W3-G-B-V Photometry For Random Population Of Binary & Single Stars

description: Table of synthetic photometry for ~800k stars, randomly distributed in the following ranges:


	mass_A = (0.2, 2.0)
	log10(age) = (8.0, 9.9)
	feh = N(0, 0.2)
	distance = (50, 2000) [pc]
	A_V = (0, 1)
	q (mass ratio) = (0.2, 1);  mass_B = q * mass_A


The table has columns for all the synthetic photometry as well as columns for the true properties and a boolean column for "is_binary"; the synthetic photometry is only a sum of the two stars if is_binary is True; otherwise the photometry is just for the primary star.  Synthetic photometry is done using the MIST model grids, implemented by isochrones (github.com/timothydmorton/isochrones)

The purpose of this table is to act a synthetic training set for single/binary classification algorithms.

title: Experimental evaluation of a cascade refrigeration system operating with R744/R134a.

description: This work reports a preliminary experimental investigation related to the operation of a subcritical cascade refrigeration system using the R744/R134a refrigerants, in a commercial application of stored food. The experimental facility is composed of an alternative variable speed compressor for the R744 and an electronic expansion valve (EEV) that promote the direct evaporation of the CO2 in the interior of a cold-room (2,3mx 2,6mx 2,5m) to maintain the internal air temperature at -25°C. The high temperature stage consist of an alternative compressor for the R134a, a thermostatic expansion valve (TEV) and an air-cooled condenser. A cascade heat exchanger that is a condenser for the CO2 system and an evaporator for the R134a system completes the apparatus. A total of three experimental results were performed in steady state conditions. The R134a system operated at the nominal frequency, 60 Hz, while the R744 system operated in three different frequencies: 60 Hz, 50 Hz and 40 Hz. This parameter was varied to verify the range of cooling capacity and performance, COP, of the cascade system. As conclusion, the cascade system operated in a flexible way, which represents a real application with variable demand of storage food. In addition, the results showed good agreement with the experimental data available in the literature.

title: Flow distribution of two-phase refrigerant in plate heat exchangers.

description: The present study provides experimental observations of air-water and two-phase refrigerant in plate heat exchangers with inlet distributors. A transparent Pyrex plate heat exchanger was used for air-water flow visualization and the Infrared Thermography was used for measuring the surface temperature of a plate heat exchanger with two-phase refrigerant heat transfer inside. The heat transfer performance experiment results and numerical analysis results for air-water flow by Yang et al. (2012) were included for comparison. The air-water mixture flow visualization results show that the effect of Reynolds number on the flow distribution is not high. Flow in the plate with the distributor in the direction 6 provided the most uniform distribution at both high and low Reynolds number conditions. The Infrared thermal images show that the temperature distribution at the cross section of midways along the bulk flow of refrigerant for the plate with distributor in direction 12 are the least in comparing to plates with distributor in other directions. The results of overall heat transfer coefficient test also show that the most uniform refrigerant flow resulted in the highest overall heat transfer performance.

title: The first zero-carbon architecture in Taiwan. The Magic School of Green Technology, NCKU.

description: This paper introduces the design concepts behind the MSGT (Magic School of Green Technology), which is located in the National Cheng Kung University and is the first zero-carbon architecture in Taiwan. Opened on 12 Feb. of 2011, it is a project with the highest energy conservation standards in the world and had been certified as a diamond grade green building by Taiwan’s EEWH system and a platinum grade green building by LEED. The project favors "appropriate technology", " local technology" and "factor-four efficiency" over expensive high technology. Four professors and twelve graduate students conducted numerous experiments and design benefit analyses to eventually achieve a remarkable 65% energy conservation. Specifically, the project applied the most inexpensive and natural devices, such as ceiling fans and a kiln ventilation system, to reduce AC energy consumption for the offices and the international conference hall by 76% and 27%, respectively. Through actual readings from Building Energy Management System (BEMS) during January to December, 2011, accumulated EUI of 40.43 kWh/(m².yr) against eQUEST analytical assessment of 43.0 kWh/(m².yr) for the same period. Actual energy consumption analysis for air conditioning, lighting, socket outlet, and power equipment, respectively recorded 43.5%, 10.4%, 21.9%, and 24.2% in July. Demonstrating that eQUEST analytical assessed value is very consistent with building’s actual energy consumption readings. The MSGT provides solid proof that the greenest building is achievable through smarter design and better economy.

title: CO2 absorption/desorption performance enhancement by nanoabsorbents.

description: Experiments on CO2 absorption were carried out in Taylor-Couette type absorber at low rotational speeds. The base absorbent used is methanol. Al2O3 and SiO2 nanoparticles are combined with methanol to produce nanoabsorbents with the purpose of enhancing the absorption of the CO2 gas. The system is equipped with a mass flow controller at the inlet and a mass flow meter at the outlet to obtain the absorption rate. The Taylor-Couette absorber performance is compared to a modified version in which trays were added to enhance the absorption rate by increasing the residence time of the gas phase. Experiments in co-current and counter-current flow modes are carried out. It is found that the CO2 absorption rate enhances up to 6% and 8%, respectively, by using SiO2 and Al2O3 nanoparticles. In addition, the two-phase flow pattern of the CO2 gas bubbles and the liquid methanol in the Taylor-Couette absorber and the modified version is analyzed with the high-speed camera pictures.

title: Experiences in renewal of cold storage facilities from R22 to NH3/CO2 in Japan.

description: In Japan, many cold storage warehouses were built using refrigerants HCFC22 or HFC23 in cascades up to early 2000. Production of HCFC22 will stop from 2020 and HFC23 is also expected to be banned because of its high GWP. NH3/CO2 refrigeration equipments were developed and installed as replacements for HCFC22 systems because of their lower energy consumption and are friendly to the environment. Air refrigeration equipments have also been introduced in extremely low temperature ranges such as -60C tuna warehouses as replacements for HFC23 cascades. Air refrigeration system offer low power consumption compared to the conventional HFC systems. This paper introduces concepts of NH3/CO2 secondary refrigerant system and air refrigeration equipments and gives actual energy comparisons with HCFC22 and HFC23systems.

title: Food technology and food preservation: an old necessity with a promising future.

description: Refrigeration preserves our food, preventing its rapid and uncontrolled evolution. Thus it enables the increase in food supply for ever growing populations living in cities becoming larger and larger. According to this reality and to the obvious that refrigeration allows a significant reduction of food losses, it is commonly accepted that the development of refrigeration is indispensable to the sustainable development of our today's and tomorrow's world. But refrigeration is not only food preservation: it is also widely used in food process and food production. Since the beginning of the development of artificial refrigeration, the used technologies are based on fundamental principles which remain inescapable. On one hand, the predominance of cold production based on compression – expansion cycles with phase change of a refrigerant. And on the other hand, the use of gaseous or liquid cooled media to ensure cooling of food products. These technologies sometime use some environmentally unfriendly refrigerants. They are energy consuming. And their performances are limited on one hand by the limits of the thermodynamics and on the other hand by the limits of heat and mass transfer rate between the cooling media and the food product. After a short overview of this problematic, this paper gives some information on possible alternatives to refrigeration and on technological novelties in refrigeration processes in food industry. It also indicates the major trends and progresses in the modelling of refrigeration processes.

title: Lung Tumours in Rats After Inhalation of Radon and Application of Different Minerals
title: Link to data and details in ERA

description: Purpose: To determine the risks of lung tumors after radon inhalation together with various minerals

Status: 1968- 1984, terminated; data in ERAD except those indicated in red

Treatment: Inhalation of radon (0.1-0.3 μm AMAD 6.2% unattached), inhalation, or intra-pleural or intra-tracheal injection different minerals, for further details see individual experiments below.

Dosimetry: Activity inhaled (dose from daughter products deposited 2-3 mGy/WLM)

Endpoints: Life-span study (spontaneous death) with macroscopic/microscopic pathology unless otherwise stated below

Animal: Male Sprague-Dawley SPF rats of different ages as indicated below; controls see 02.01

Results: The influence of different fibrous minerals, given either directly or in a lixified state, on the carcinogenic effect of radon was studied because some of these minerals are known to cause pleural mesotheliomas in man. In first series of experiments, no synergism was found between radon and different fibrous minerals (chrysotile, crocydolite, amosite which had been lixified). but these minerals caused pleural mesotheliomas. In another experimental series, attapulquite, mucipulguite, gastropulquite showed no synergistic effect and did not cause any mesothelioma. The same experimental design applied to hematite, quartz DQ12 or beryllium also did not indicate any synergism.

title: Lung Tumours in Rats After Inhalation of Radon and Treatment with Different Cofactors
title: Link to data and details in ERA

description: Purpose: To determine the risks of lung tumors after inhalation of radon in combination with treatment with various cofactors.

Status: 1973- ongoing; data in ERAD

Treatment: Inhalation of radon (0.1-0.3 μm AMAD 6.2% unattached), treatment with radiation, radionuclides or different cofactors, for details see individual experiments below.

Dosimetry: Activity inhaled (dose from daughter products deposited 2-3 mGy/WLM), for Triton see 02.14

Endpoints: Life-span study (spontaneous death) with macroscopic/microscopic pathology unless otherwise stated below

Animal: Male Sprague-Dawley SPF rats of different ages as indicated below

Results: Several pharmaceutical active agents were given together with radon exposure to test whether, on the one hand, certain of these substances (eg cyclophosphamide, bleomycine, methotrexate) would reduce the incidence of cancer, or, on the other hand, whether such substances when used for different therapeutic purposes (eg rifampicine, BCG, isoniazide, endoxan, largactil, phenobarbitol) could act as cofactors for radon-induced cancer. None of the substances had any positive or negative effect on the rate of incidence of radon-induced lung cancer. Alcohol also had no effect whatsoever.

title: A comparative study on room air conditioner performance of finned-tube evaporator and the micro-channel evaporator under optimal throttling condition.

description: Experimental investigations were conducted on refrigerant distributions in various throttling conditions in a 5-HP split room air conditioner (RAC) equipped with micro-channels. Experiment results show a tendency of abrupt decrease after a slight increase in both cooling capacity and EER when the width of expansion valve opening gradually increases. The best performance was obtained when the inlet pressure of the microchannel evaporator is 993.6kPa, which was confirmed in the analysis of refrigerant distribution mechanism revealed in the infrared thermographs. Comparisons are made between cooling capacity and EER of the RAC equipped with micro-channel evaporator working with the optimal throttling condition and those of a typical RAC equipped with a finned-tube evaporator with equal heat transfer area. The results reveal an average cooling capacity of the micro-channel evaporator RAC to be 4.8% higher than that of the finned-tube evaporator RAC and an average EER over 5% higher.

title: Pharmaceuticals cold chain challenges.

description: Most of pharmaceuticals and health products are sensible to temperature. Their properties can be changed, their efficiency reduced and they can even be destroyed or turned dangerous by exposure to unappropriated temperatures. Cold chain and controlled temperatures play thus a growing role in pharmaceuticals and health products distribution. With the internationalization of the market, pharmaceuticals logistic become also more and more complex. The products can be exposed to extreme conditions. In the same time, the number and variety of thermos-sensible pharmaceuticals fast increase and the diversity of molecules is larger due to biotechnologies development for example. Taking into account these evolutions, health regulations have been recently reinforced in many countries to improve the performance of pharma logistics, the safety of the products and their efficiency and to reduce the cost of a tremendous market. With new requirements in a growing market, pharma logistics under controlled temperatures is then facing new challenges. This conference will present the context of pharmaceuticals cold chain, the recent and present changes and will detail the new challenges to be faced to achieve the new goals.

title: Absorption heat converter and the characteristic equation method.

description: The term absorption heat converter comprises the general concept of a heat pump, the type I heat pump (absorption heat pump for heating or cooling) and the type II heat pump (absorption heat transformer). As the main components of these three absorption heat pumping devices are the same, it is possible to design a device which enables all modes of operation: heat pump mode, chiller mode and heat transformer mode. This heat converter can be used as chiller in summer-season whereas in winter-season it can be used in heat pump mode or heat transformer mode, depending on the available heat source. Exemplary, a waste heat driven system can cover the cooling and heating loads by operating in chiller and heat transformer mode. The heat pump mode enables to cover overload heating demand during very cold periods in an efficient way being operated by means of an additional gas fired boiler. So the heating and cooling loads of e.g. an urban district can be supplied in a resource efficient way during the whole year by only one device. At Technische Universität Berlin a prototype heat converter is constructed and tested. The performance of such a device is mainly depending on the temperatures of heat sources and heat sinks. This dependence is described with the characteristic equations of the converter. In this study it is shown how the characteristic equation method can be used universally for both general heat pump concepts (type I and II). The respective equations will be derived and discussed. For a concrete absorption device it is shown that depending on the used concept of the technical realisation of switching between the two modes the heat flows working as heat transformer differ around 4 %.

title: Development of a novel refrigerated transport system using a combination of liquid nitrogen expansion and mechanical vapour compression.

description: Most transport refrigeration systems use vapour compression cycles, powered by main or auxiliary Diesel engines. A minority use liquid nitrogen, using only the energy of low-pressure vapourisation. The system described uses a vapour cycle driven by a Dearman Engine, a highly efficient Rankine-cycle engine powered by the phase-change expansion of liquid nitrogen. The system uses the synergy between cooling of the vapour compression condenser and a novel heat exchange process in the cryogen expansion cycle, to deliver high efficiency. Analysis, test results and techno-economics show that a practical system can deliver significant savings in operating cost and life-cycle carbon compared to incumbents; the only exhaust is cold nitrogen, offering a significant benefit in local air quality.
