Impact of Standard versus Tracked-based User Behavior into Energy Simulations of Open-Space Offices

Dolaana Khovalyg, Verena Marie Barthelmes, Arnab Chatterjee

This simulation-based study aimed to contribute to gaining knowledge on how much the deviation between occupant-related input by the national standard and by insitu measurements might impact predictions of heating/cooling needs in offices. Analysis was per ...

Reaching Thermal Comfort Zone Limits for Resilient Building Operation: A Winter Case Study for Offices

Dolaana Khovalyg, Verena Marie Barthelmes, Arnab Chatterjee

A specific range of acceptable indoor thermal conditions is stipulated by building performance standards to assure minimum dissatisfaction of occupants. Thus, the operation of buildings in practice tends to follow a cautious approach by setting the indoor ...

Microchannel cooling for the LHCb VELO Upgrade I

Alessandro Mapelli, Giulia Romagnoli, Victor Coco

The LHCb VELO Upgrade I, currently being installed for the 2022 start of LHC Run 3, uses silicon microchannel coolers with internally circulating bi-phase CO2 for thermal control of hybrid pixel modules operating in vacuum. This is the largest scale applic ...

Non-evaporable getter pump operations in the TCV tokamak

Ambrogio Fasoli, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Yves Martin, Holger Reimerdes, Marcelo Baquero Ruiz, Frédéric Dolizy

A non-evaporable getter pump using the ZAO alloy was installed on TCV and operated during the 2019 experimental campaign. The pump performance, determined from in-situ pumping speed measurements, indicates that current getter pump technologies are well sui ...
