AbstractSmall diameter thin-walled pipes, typically with a diameter less than 20 mm and a ratio of outer diameter to wall thickness is 20 or above, have increasingly become a key value adding factor for a number of industries including medical applications, electronics and chemical industries. In high-energy physics experiments, thin-walled pipes are needed in tracking detector cooling systems where the mass of all components needs to be minimised for physics measurement reasons. The pipework must reliably withstand the cooling fluid operation pressures (of up to 100 bar), but must also be able to be reliably and easily joined within the cooling system. Suitable standard and/or commercial solutions combining the needed low mass and reliable high-pressure operation are poorly available. The following review of literature compares the various techniques that exist for the manufacture and joining of thin-walled pipes, both well-established techniques and novel methods which have potential to increase the use of thin-walled pipes within industrial cooling systems. Gaps in knowledge have been identified, along with further research directions. Operational challenges and key considerations which have to be identified when designing a system which uses thin-walled pipes are also discussed.

Detector Control Systems (DCS) for modern High-Energy Physics (HEP) experiments are based on complex distributed (and often redundant) hardware and software implementing real-time operational procedures meant to ensure that the detector is always in a safe state, thus maximizing the lifetime of the detector. Display, archival and often analysis of the environmental data are also part of the tasks assigned to DCS systems. The CMS Tracker Control System (TCS) is a resilient system that has been designed to safely operate the silicon tracking detector in the CMS experiment. It has been built on top of an industrial Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) software product WinCC OA extended with a framework developed at CERN, JCOP, along with CMS and Tracker specific components. The TCS is at present undergoing major architecture redesign which is critical to ensure efficient control of the detector and its future upgrades for the next fifteen years period. In this paper, we will present an overview of the Tracker DCS and the architecture of the software components as well as the associated deliverables.

Due to increasing oil demand and serious global warming, a green power generation system is urgently requested in transportation. Electric/hybrid vehicles (EV/HEV) have been considered as a potential solution with great promise in achieving high energy/power efficiency and a low environmental impact. The important electric and electronic equipment in EV/HEV are the battery, inverter and motor. However, because of the high power density in the inverters or the low working temperature of batteries, the cooling problems affect significantly the working performance or the lifetime of electric and electronic equipment in EV/HEV. This paper views different cooling systems including the battery cooling system, inverter cooling system and motor cooling system. A general introduction to the EV/HEV and the electric and electronic equipment working processes are briefly presented at first. Then different methods for the battery cooling system, the inverter cooling system and the motor cooling system are outlined and discussed in this paper. Among other things, the means of using phase change material, or electro-thermal modules are significant for the battery cooling system. Finally, some conclusions or recommendations are presented for the cooling systems, in order to promote the EV/HEV development.

Cooling of air in buildings has a significant effect on thermal comfort and, consequently, productivity of office occupants. This study presents a state of the art review of energy efficient cooling systems that will provide occupants in buildings with satisfying thermal comfort. Using high-temperature cooling systems combined with renewable energy sources increases the energy efficiency in buildings. Latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) using Phase Change Materials (PCM) is a renewable energy source implemented in space cooling applications due to its high energy storage density. Since the share of commercial buildings in need of cooling is increasing, there is a need for developing new technical solutions in order to reduce the energy use without compromising thermal comfort. To this end, a proposed ventilation system, preliminarily analyzed in this paper, is expected to reduce further the energy use. The ventilation system is composed of an air handling unit, a 2-pipe active chilled beam system, and a cooling system including a LHTES using PCM. Few researchers have investigated chilled water air-conditioning systems that integrate a LHTES using PCM. In this review, function characteristics, possibilities and limitations of existing systems are discussed.

This paper describes a designed new nozzle and provides experimental studies on the nozzle used in high-pressure fog cooling system in Greenhouses. Fogging droplet sizes of the nozzle is measured by MPA Malvern Particle Analyzer. The diameter of droplet sizes (VMD, Dv10, Dv50, Dv90) which is 500 mm far from the nozzle is measured and analyzed when the pump pressure is 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,7MPa.The experimental results shows: the nozzle has fine fogging performance, and its droplet sizes (VMD) are small and less than 30 microns when operating pressure is more than 5MPa.

Aeroengine high-pressure turbine (HPT) is the key engine component. HPT blade must withstand high inlet temperatures and mechanical loads providing the necessary level of the efficiency. To achieve these objectives effective and complex blade cooling systems (internal convective and film cooling) are used in the HPT design. The objective of this project is to design and investigate the aeroengine HPT blade cooling system that is able to withstand the blade inlet gas temperature level of approx. 1900K but with the minimal cooling airflow amount. HPT blade of the aeroengine with unducted fan (UDF) was taken as a baseline design, namely, the monocrystal blade with a convective multipass system and the film cooling. Advanced HPT blade inter-wall cooling system was designed, investigated and compared with the typical baseline HPT blade. In the advanced HPT blade inter-wall cooling system special types and structure of cooling channels are used. Both types of cooling systems were investigated experimentally in the turbine rotor of the high temperature core engine. Measurements of turbine blades temperatures were performed using crystal temperature sensors (CTS). HPT blades with two competitive cooling systems incorporated with CTS (0,2–0,3 mm size) were installed in the turbine rotor of the core engine and tested on the engine Maximal rate. After tests and the engine disassembly CTSs were extracted and the characteristics of the CTS crystal lattice were transcribed in temperature values. Thermal state of both two competitive cooling systems was validated by experimental data. Numerical and experimental results obtained in the research of HPT blade cooling system are presented in the article. Aeroengine high pressure turbine blade cooling systems designs are described.
