  1. 6. Photovoltaic Cells Powering Cooling Systems

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Innovationsteknik

    Author : Louise Homle; Kajsa Wernerson; [2019]
    Keywords : Photovoltaic cells; Directly powering; Cameras; Cooling systems; Axis; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This master thesis project was carried out at the Division of Innovation Engineering at Lund University and at Axis Communications AB in Lund. The thesis has investigated the possibility of using PV cells as a direct power source for small scale applications to meet the problems of heat management in electrical equipment. READ MORE

  3. 7. Evaluation of CO2 Ice rink heat recovery system performance

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : Sotirios Thanasoulas; [2018]
    Keywords : Ice rinks; CO2 as refrigerant; Heat recovery; Efficient systems; Operation control; Warm climate; Isrinkar; Koldioxid som kylmedel; Värmeåtervinning; Effektiva system; Driftstyrning; Varmt klimat;

    Abstract : Ice rinks are the largest energy consumers in terms of public buildings due to their simultaneous need of cooling, heating, ventilation, and lighting for different parts of the building which means that these facilities also have a lot of potential for energy saving. Due to the size of the cooling unit in an ice rink the refrigerant charge can become quite high, which potentially has a big impact on the environment. READ MORE

  4. 8. Simulations of polymer solutions displaying a lower critical solution temperature

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionen

    Author : Sandra Larsson; [2018]
    Keywords : Monte Carlo simulations; polymer solutions; lower critical solution temperature; thermoresponsive polymers; LCST; theoretical chemistry; teoretisk kemi; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Thermoresponsive polymers with a lower critical solution temperature, LCST, have attracted interest in the development of new ``smart materials'', which change properties in response to external stimuli. Polymers with an LCST near physiological temperatures are especially relevant in biomedical applications, most notably perhaps in drug delivery systems. READ MORE

  5. 9. Optimization of the AdBlue e vaporation module for Scania V8 engines

    University essay from KTH/Maskinkonstruktion (Inst.)

    Author : Mattia Antoniotti; [2017]
    Keywords : CR; evaporation unit; urea deposits; heat fins; Urea; förångningsmodulen; ureaavlagringar; rörflänsar;

    Abstract : The aftertreatment techniques introduced to follow the emission legislations require a constant improvement process to comply with the gradually more stringent demands. SCR is the system used nowadays to deal with NOx emissions in most heavy-duty vehicles. READ MORE

  6. 10. Ion association to poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) by diffusion and electrophoretic NMR

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemivetenskap (CHE)

    Author : Cedrik Wiberg von Schantz; [2013]
    Keywords : PNIPAM; poly N-isopropylacrylamide ; electrophoretic NMR; diffusion NMR; LCST; ion association;

    Abstract : PNIPAM (poly(N-Isopropylacrylamide)) is a well-known thermoresponsive polymer. Dissolved in water, it shows a structural change at 32 oC, above which the polymer folds together, and a phase separation occurs. READ MORE
