Critical heat flux in multi-microchannel copper elements with low pressure refrigerants

New saturated critical heat flux (CHF) data have been obtained experimentally in two different multi-microchannel heat sinks made in copper with three low pressure refrigerants (R134a, R236fa, R245fa). one of the test sections has 20 parallel rectangular c ...

Experimental investigation of a direct driven radial compressor for domestic heat pumps

Daniel Favrat, Jürg Alexander Schiffmann

The presence of oil in domestic heat pumps is an obstacle toward higher efﬁciency, particularly for enhanced surface evaporators and for advanced concepts based on two- stage cycles. Very compact direct driven radial compressors supported on oil-free beari ...

Estimation of road traffic emission factors from a long term tracer study

Alain Clappier, Luis Carlos Belalcazar Ceron, Erika Maria Zarate Torres, Minh Dung Ho

Road traffic emissions, one of the largest source categories in megacity inventories, are highly uncertain. It is essential to develop methodologies to reduce these uncertainties to manage air quality more effectively. In this paper, we propose a methodolo ...

Novel structured adsorber and oxidation catalysts for the removal of VOCs in low concentration

Kim Martin Nikolajsen

One possibility for the removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is catalytic oxidation. For the removal of VOCs in low concentration (≲ 3000 ppmv for propane) it is not possible to sustain the required oxidation temperature over the catalyst wit ...

Fluoropolymer coating of medical grade poly(vinyl chloride) by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition techniques

Christoph Hollenstein

Medical grade poly(vinyl chloride) was modified by RF plasma-deposition of teflon-like coatings to create a platform for the physisorption of PEO-containing copolymers, Pluronics (R). Thin teflon-like coatings were deposited in an RF-plasma reactor by plas ...
