چکیده

Thermostatic radiator valves (TRV) have proved their significant contribution in energy savings for several years. However, at low heat demand conditions, an unstable oscillatory behavior is usually observed and well known for these devices. This closed-loop instability is due to the nonlinear dynamics of the radiator which result in a large time constant and a large gain for the radiator at small flow rates. In order to improve stability of radiators under the low demand circumstance, one way is to replace the fixedydronic radiator odeling ynamical analysis hermal comfort ain-scheduling control parameter controller of TRV with an adaptive controller. This paper presents a gain scheduling controller based on a proposed linear parameter varying model of radiator dynamics. The model is parameterized based on the operating flow rate, room temperature and radiator specifications. Parameters of the model are derived based on the proposed analytic solution that describes dissipated heat by a radiator to ambient air. It is shown via simulations that the designed controller based on the proposed linear parameter varying (LPV) model performs excellent and remains stable in the whole operating conditions.

Heat pipe-based radiator for low grade geothermal energy conversion in domestic space heating

A severe technical drawback of geothermal heat pumps (GHPs) is the fact that the nominal operating temperature available for domestic space heating is typically in the region of 50°C. This is 25°C to 40°C less than conventional boiler settings used in hydronic central heating applications. As a result, GHPs are not generally ideal for direct replacement of conventional hydronic central heating ...

An Analytical Solution for Inverse Determination of Residual Stress Field

An analytical solution is presented that reconstructs residual stress field from limited and incomplete data.  The inverse problem of reconstructing residual stresses is solved using an appropriate form of the airy stress function.  This function is chosen to satisfy the stress equilibrium equations together with the boundary conditions for a domain within a convex polygon.  The analytical solu...

Electromagnetic Waves Excitation by Thin Impedance Vibrators and Narrow Slots in Electrodynamic Volumes

Linear vibrator and slot radiators, i.e., radiators of electric and magnetic type, respec‐ tively, are widely used as separate receiver and transmitter structures, elements of an‐ tenna systems, and antenna-feeder devices, including combined vibrator-slot structures. Widespread occurrence of such radiators is an objective prerequisite for theoretical analysis of their electrodynamic characteris...

IMPROVED CHROMATOGRAPHIC METHOD FOR DETERMINATION OF SODIUM DICLOFENAC IN INJECTABLE SOLUTION AND PREDICTION OF CHEMICAL STABILITY

Two modified methods for assaying sodium diclofenac were developed by GC and HPLC. Diclofenac was converted into methyl ester derivative by methyl iodide in acetone. The ester was extract and subjected to GLC with flame ionization detector. %5 SE-30/chrom W-HP (80-100 mesh) was used as a column in GC. For reversed phase HPLC, the mobile phase was methanol and water (55-45). The separation was p...

Mathematical simulation of a vehicle radiator by genetic algorithm method and comparison with experimental data

In many industrial processes, heat exchangers play the important role of the cooling function. The effective heat transfer rate in a specific process strongly depends on the heat exchanger design. The most popular type of heat exchangers commonly used in the automotive industry, is called "radiator". In engines, radiators play the important role of the cooling process. The present study is de...
