  1. 1. Assessment of a Thermal De-Icing Solution and Control Methods using Simulations

    University essay from KTH/Maskinkonstruktion (Avd.)

    Author : Gustaf Ingvarsson; [2018]
    Keywords : Deicing; control method; LED; simulation; av-isning; kontrollmetoder; LED; simulering;

    Abstract : Lastbilar körandes i nordiska vinterförhållanden riskerar att strålkastare, och andra lyktor blir täckta utav is. Detta hindrar ljuset från att skina på vägen, något som måste åtgärdas manuellt utav föraren. READ MORE

  3. 2. Detection and removal of wind turbine ice : Method review and a CFD simulation test

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Energisystem

    Author : Ismael Bravo Jimenez; [2018]
    Keywords : renewable energy; wind turbine; ice accretion; flow simulation; CFD; wind turbine performance; anti-icing methods; de-icing methods.;

    Abstract : Nowadays, the energy sector is facing a huge demand that needs to be covered. Wind energy is one of the most promising energy resources as it is free from pollution, clean and probably will arise as one of the main energy sources to prevent global warming from happening. Almost 10% of the global energy demand is coming from renewable resources. READ MORE

  4. 3. Vägsaltets spridningsvägar och dess påverkan på landskapets vegetation

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Rebecka Lundh; [2015]
    Keywords : vägsalt; spridningsvägar; vegetation; miljö; saltstress; salttolerans;

    Abstract : Hundratusentals ton vägsalt, natriumklorid, sprids ut på våra vägar vintertid för att skapa säkra trafikförhållanden. Men vintervägunderhållning och vägsaltsanvändning kan bidra till förstöring av de naturliga och interna processerna i angränsande mark och vegetation. READ MORE

  5. 4. De-icing and ice prevention of automotive headlamps and tail lamps : - An investigation of techniques and development of a test method

    University essay from KTH/Farkost och flyg

    Author : Anders Jansson; [2014]
    Keywords : de-icing; headlamp; tail lamps; LED; hot washer fluid; test method; ice layer; avisning; huvudstrålkastare; baklyktor; LED; varm spolarvätska; testmetod; isskikt;

    Abstract : The work aims to study different methods suitable for de-icing and ice prevention of vehicle headlamps and tail lamps, especially LED-lights. Furthermore, the work aims to investigate the scale of the problem with insufficient or lack of de-icing on automotive lamps depending on the region and the environment the vehicle operates in.

  6. 5. Development of a model for estimation of wind farm production losses due to icing

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Erik Hellström; [2013]
    Keywords : Wind power; production losses; ice; losses estimation; cold climate; wind turbine;

    Abstract : Wind turbines operating in cold climate are exposed to periods of icing which lowers the plantprofitability by affecting the annual production. The loss of production has two components:The first (and most important) component is reduced power during operation due to disturbedaerodynamic properties of the blades. READ MORE
