Numerical and experimental analysis of the energy saving and potential of ventilation of opaque ventilates facades
(Universidad de Córdoba, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2013)
Nowadays the efficient use of energy is a crucial necessity. Buildings are among the
greater energy consumers in a country and the ventilation and HVAC systems account
for a high percentage of this consumption. A way of ...
Optimization of the Transesterification of Waste Cooking Oil with Mg-Al Hydrotalcite Using Response Surface Methodology
(MDPI, 2018)
Nowadays, biodiesel has become a very promising alternative to fossil diesel fuel, regarding
environmental concerns and fuel resource depletion. Biodiesel is usually produced through
homogeneous or heterogeneous ...
Comparison of the Simple Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) and DPPH Assays for the Determination of Antioxidant Capacity of Active Principles
(MDPI, 2012)
Antioxidant activity of a number of small (low molecular weight) natural compounds found in spices, condiments or drugs (gallic acid, sesamol, eugenol, thymol, carvacrol, vanillin, salicylaldehyde, limonene, geraniol, ...
Ion-Mediated Aggregation of Gold Nanoparticles for Light-Induced Heating
(MDPI, 2017)
Photothermal therapy is proposed as a straightforward manner of killing cancer cells, which a plasmon field of gold nanoparticles is activated by incoming light resonance leading to a local increase of temperature. This ...
Techno-Economic Assessment of Heat Transfer Fluid Buffering for Thermal Energy Storage in the Solar Field of Parabolic Trough Solar Thermal Power Plants
(MDPI, 2017)
Currently, operating parabolic trough (PT) solar thermal power plants, either solar-only or with thermal storage block, use the solar field as a heat transfer fluid (HTF) thermal storage system to provide extra thermal ...
Sensitivity study of an opaque ventilated façade in the winter season in different climate zones in Spain
(Elsevier, 2015)
Energy efficient buildings need to take advantage of any renewable energy available. An opaque ventilated façade (OVF) is a kind of façade that absorbs solar energy and transfers it to the ventilation system. This way, the ...
Energy saving potential of a hybrid HVAC system with a desiccant wheel activated at low temperatures and an indirect evaporative cooler in handling air in buildings with high latent loads
(Elsevier, 2018)
Air handling in buildings with high latent loads usually requires a high-energy cost to satisfy the user’s thermal comfort needs. Hybrid systems composed of desiccant wheels, DW, and indirect evaporative coolers, IEC, could ...
Performance of an unglazed transpire collector in the facade of a building for heating and cooling in combination with a desiccant evaporative cooler
(Elsevier, 2018)
Refurbishment of energy inefficient buildings is an effective way of reducing energy consumption in urban areas. This can be done by taking advantage of the renewable energy sources available, mainly, solar energy. Desiccant ...
First and second order simplified models for the performance evaluation of low temperature activated desiccant wheels
(Elsevier, 2016)
Hybrid systems with a desiccant wheel, DW, are an alternative to heating, ventilation and air conditioning, HVAC, commonly used systems for dehumidification and humidity control in rooms with high latent loads. Currently, ...
Experimental analysis and model validation of an opaque ventilated facade
(Elsevier, 2012)
Natural ventilation is a convenient way of reducing energy consumption in buildings. In this study an experimental module of an opaque ventilated façade (OVF) was built and tested for assessing its potential of supplying ...
