Intelligent buildings are productive, energy efficient and environmentally acceptable. Intelligent buildings should be health, permanent and technologically advanced. It is necessary to predict the development and selection of suitable systems for the thermal comfort for ensure of the thermal comfort in the workplace. It is important to analyse how many thermal factors will affect the population, room temperature uniformity, asymmetry of the radiation temperature and turbulence intensity of the flowing air. Thermal comfort is given by the radiant heat, air temperature, air velocity and relative humidity in the room. The main impact of these factors on the comfort level of individuals depends on the type of clothing and on activity. The wrong thermal comfort is detrimental to workers’ health, affects adverse effects on the psyche and increasing the risk of accidents. The thermal comfort of people can be achieved by intelligent management of energy systems in the buildings. The measurement results and settings of intelligent systems are presented in this article.
Heat pipe is well known device which is used to heat transfer phase-change of working fluid. Pulsating heat pipe (PHP) is special type of heat pipe which heat transfer by pulsating movement of working fluid. Article deals about operating activity and thermal performance measurement of this special heat pipe. Operating activity visualization of PHP was performed with PHP made from glass. The two types of PHPs were made. The first PHP has internal diameter of tube 1 mm, second PHP has internal diameter of tube 1.5 mm and both PHPs have eleven meanders. The working fluids used in PHP were water and Fluorinert FC-72. These fluids were chose for their different thermo-physical properties and the visualization observe formation of liquid and vapour phase working fluid during filling process and working operation.Next, the article describes thermal performance measurement of PHP depending on working fluid amount and heat source temperature. Measurement was performed with PHP made from copper tube with inner diameter 1.5 mm curved to the twenty one meanders and filled with water. The results give us image about formation and distribution of working fluid in pulsating heat pipe and about influence of working fluid amount on the heat transfer ability of pulsating heat pipe.
Abstract. The paper deals with use of cooling equipment build on basis two phase thermosyphon loop. This device belongs to a group of loop heat pipe (LHP). This LHP is a two-phase device with extremely high effective thermal conductivity that utilizes the thermodynamic pressure difference to circulate fluid. It was invented in Russia in the early 1980´s. Thermosyphon loop is similar as LHP but it doesn't contain wick and circulation of the fluid using gravitation force instead of capillary pressure as it is in LHP. The work deals with the cooling insulated gate bipolar transistor with 370 W. The paper describes the course of the heat dissipation using ribbed cooler for natural convection and using fin for forced convection. The results are compared with heat dissipation through thermosyphon loop.
The high-energy requirements of cleanrooms are the main motivation for optimizing their operational conditions. The ventilation system consumes the most energy in order to ensure the precise air conditioning of the room (filtration, temperature, and humidity adjustment). The main function of the ventilation system is to keep particle concentration to a minimum. This work deals with the optimization of an experimental operating room via the optimization of air supply through the distribution element (laminar airflow ceiling) in the range of 0.15–0.25 m·s−1. The laminar airflow between the distribution element and the patient is influenced by the operating light and different airflow velocities. These factors affect changes in particle concentration. Ansys Fluent software was used to investigate the nature of the flow, velocity profiles, and particle trajectories. The results of our numerical simulation demonstrate that a suitable flow rate setting increases the efficiency of particle reduction in the operating table area by up to 54%, which can, in turn, reduce operating costs. The simulated air velocity profile was subsequently verified using the particle image velocimetry (PIV) method. The typical size of particles monitored for in cleanrooms is 0.5 μm according to ISO EN 7. Therefore, the results of this study should be helpful in correctly designing distribution elements for clean rooms.
