In short to long-term heat storage, the loss of common phase change material (PCM) systems is a big problem where lost continuously ambient environment and thus wasted, even when system not in use. Controllable supercooled PCM proposed offers solution this problem. Latent only released triggered induce crystallization, so it can be stored at temperature. To control release heat, installation will constructed as group storage units, each with its own trigger, which activated according heating...
This paper presents the development of a sustainable and affordable domestic refrigerator for rural areas where grid setting is weak or non-existent. The uses miniature refrigeration unit based on micro direct current (DC) compressor, which can adjust its speed according to photovoltaic output variation with solar radiation intensity, in order maximize cooling production. experimental investigation aims define capacity management through use phase change materials (PCMs). PCM packs fridge...
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV)-2, the virus that causes disease (COVID)-19, is primarily transmitted through droplets which linger in enclosed spaces, often exacerbated by HVAC systems. Although research to improve handling of SARS-CoV-2 progressing, currently installed systems cause problems because they recirculate air and use ineffective filters against virus. This paper details process developing a novel method eliminating pollutants suspended pathogens spaces...
This paper investigates the transient performance of a DC compressor fridge incorporated with Phase Change Material (PCM) for weak/off-grid setting regions. A photovoltaics (PV) module is directly connected to without use batteries and inverter, in order simplify system reduce its cost. The speed can be adjusted according radiation intensity an optimum match between PV output efficiency refrigeration. During daytime, PCM charged cold storage by refrigeration; when solar weak or during night,...
Abstract This study presents an experimental investigation into a novel incorporation of chilled ceiling with transparent membrane cover and phase-change material (PCM) to form new type PCM panel. The is infrared facilitate radiant cooling, but serves as barrier convection avoid moisture condensation for applications in humid climate regions. As reliable electricity supply still not accessible millions people, especially sub-Saharan South Asian countries where these also face the combined...
Biomass-based aerogel is a new promising environmentally friendly filter material to remove fine particle matter and minimize air pollution. This study aims investigate the filtration properties of biomass-based aerogels via tests in transparent chamber verification real room with burning smudge stick as source. The used this made polysaccharides, protein waste agricultural by-product (wheat straw). addition wheat straw contributes increase surface area complexity pore structure. Compared...
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic demonstrated the importance of human coronaviruses and need to develop materials prevent spread emergent respiratory viruses. Coating surfaces with antiviral is a major interest in controlling viruses, especially high-risk or high-traffic areas. A number different coatings for have been proposed, each their own advantages disadvantages. Here we show that simple salt coating on range surfaces, including novel biomass aerogel can reduce infectivity placed onto surface....
Photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) is a potential approach for air cleaning, especially when utilising titanium dioxide (TiO2). A MopFan similar to roller brush but made of flexible fibres coated with TiO2. Unlike conventional filter/mesh UV systems, provides wide UV-TiO2 interaction surface area and airflow passage. This revolutionary technique can be low cost, efficient, potentially effective against viruses, making it suitable cleaning indoor air. It easy use technically advanced. The system...
