This paper presents a discussion of the thermal behaviour of personal conditioning garments both in theory and practice, A general equation, which is developed for the case of the convective air ventilated suit supplied with cccl sir, is modified for the cases of the water conditioned suit, and the air ventilated suit with wrm dry air supplies. Results of past experiments at the Institute of Av...

Air conditioning is an important part in building services world-wide in both commercial and residential buildings. With the general attempt to reduce the usage of fossil fuels and increase the usage of green solutions, the market for solar air conditioning is growing rapidly. Solar air conditioning combines solar thermal absorbers to transfer solar radiation into heat with heat-driven cooling ...

Now days, air conditioning systems are a must for almost every commercial and residential building to achieve comfortable indoor conditions. The increasing energy demand, and increasing oil prices and pollution levels raise the need for alternative air conditioning systems which can efficiently utilize renewable energy resources. The liquid desiccant-based air conditioning method is pollution f...

This paper has completed the hardware design of STM32F103 system circuit, infrared code learning module, human body infrared sensor module, indoor temperature and humidity sensor module, completes the software design of learning air conditioning remote control code, indoor temperature and humidity sensor module, also completes the energy-saving controller hardware and software debugging. Finall...

The primary function of the nose is to warm and humidify air. We have previously shown that raising nasal mucosal temperature by immersing feet in warm water increases the amount of water evaporated by the nose as air passes through it (nasal conditioning capacity; Abbott D, Baroody F, Naureckas E, and Naclerio R. Am J Rhinol 15: 41-45, 2001). To investigate further the effect of nasal mucosal ...

The microbial contamination of central air conditioning system is one of the important factors that affect the indoor air quality. Actual measurement and analysis were carried out on microbial contamination in central air conditioning system at a venue in Dalian, China. Illumina miseq method was used and three fungal samples of two units were analysed by high throughput sequencing. Results show...

In order to make maximum use of the EV (electric vehicle) battery, evaluating the remaining battery capacity and the power consumption is important. Evaluation method of the remaining battery capacity with accuracy has been proposed. Moreover, the evaluation method of the power consumption for traveling has been proposed. However, the power consumption for vehicle-mounted air-conditioner is 30%...

This paper describes the need for dynamic (transient) simulation of automotive air conditioning systems, the reasons why such simulations are challenging, and the applicability of a general purpose off-the-shelf thermohydraulic analyzer to answer such challenges. An overview of modeling methods for the basic components are presented, along with relevant approximations and their effect on speed ...

400 Volume 35 | Number 7 www.homehealthcarenow.org fection when “in use” during patient care activities. A window-mounted air conditioning unit that blows air directly in the vicinity of the patient in the home would also be a risk factor. When making home visits with clinicians, a common “seasonal” problem identified is that the staff do not turn off an “in use” fan before removing a dressing ...

Oversizing of air conditioners is a common practice that reduces comfort and energy efficiency; the practice also results in higher first costs and exacerbates the effects of residential air conditioning on utility peak demand. At a subdivision in a hot dry climate (Redding, CA), a production homebuilder completed several houses at their standard practice equipment sizing of 155 to 185% of the ...
