Efficient collection and redistribution of the direct and diffuse components of daylight in buildings remains a major objective of advanced fenestration systems. Such systems, including novel solar blinds, new glazing or coating materials and daylight-redi ...
Important reductions of refrigerant amounts can be achieved by using secondary refrigeration fluids. Ice slurry is a two-phase fluid and thus, compared to single phase secondary refrigeration fluids, offers the advantage of the latent heat of fusion when t ...
An overview of recent works (1998–2002) coupling Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) and Biological systems for wastewater treatment confirms the beneficial effects of such two-steps treatment at lab scale. In this paper, an innovative coupled solar-biologica ...
Imidazolium chlorides with one or two carboxylic acid substituent groups, 1-methyl-3-alkylcarboxylic acid imidazolium chloride, [Me{(CH2)(n)COOH}im]Cl (n=l, 3), and 1,3-dialkylcarboxylic acid imidazolium chloride, [{(CH2)(n)COOH}(2)im]Cl (n=1, 3), have bee ...
The characteristics of the 'Green Heating System', synonymous with 'Environmentally Friendly Heating System', is academically defined from the total energy systems' point of view, using the concept of 'reversible mode of heating' under the current and futu ...
Field of the invention The present invention relates to glazings which, in particular, may be used in solar collectors. In the present text, the term "glazing" means any material, e.g. glass or polycarbonate, transparent to visible electromagnetic radiatio ...
GLAZING Field of the invention The present invention relates to glazings which, in particular, may be used in solar collectors. In the present text, the term "glazing" means any material, e.g. glass or polycarbonate, transparent to visible electromagnetic ...
This paper introduces a novel of mini-hybrid solar power plant integrating a field of solar concentrators, two superposed Organic Rankine Cycles (ORC) and a (bio)Diesel engine. Turbines for the organic Rankine Cycles are hermetic scroll expander-generators ...
The incapability of conventional biological wastewater treatment to remove effectively biorecalcitrant and/or toxic pollutants, as well as the shortage of world water resources have promoted the research of more efficient and ecologically y friendly water ...
Two 1,3-dialkyne-functionalized imidazolium chlorides, 1,3-dipropynylimidazolium chloride and 1,3-dipentynylimidazolium chloride, have been prepared from the direct reaction between the appropriate chloroalkyne and (trimethylsilyl)imidazole. Replacement of ...
