Thermal Contact Resistance of Metal Roller to Plastic Web Interfaces
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 1999)Heated rollers are used in the forest product, printing and plastic processing industry to regulate product temperature during web processing. Improved regulation of product temperatures during processing results in ... -
Thermal Simulation and Economic Assessment of Unglazed Transpired Collector Systems
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 1995) -
The Time Element in Chiller Fault Detection and Diagnosis
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2000)Vapor compression chillers are the central component of most large commercial air conditioning systems. Process supervision including fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) has been proposed as a means to identify ... -
TRNSHD-A Program for Shading and Insolation Calculations
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 1996)For analyzing systems with high solar gains it is important that design tools have a reliable and accurate means of predicting the solar radiation on surfaces. Since solar radiation on a surface is often greatly ... -
A TRNSYS Model of a Hybrid Lighting System
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2003)During the past two years, considerable effort has been expended in developing the TRNSYS Hybrid Lighting Model. The work has resulted in a software tool that can simulate impacts associated with utilizing the hybrid ... -
TRNSYS Modeling of a Hybrid Lighting System: Energy Savings and Colorimetry Analysis
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2004)The TRNSYS (TRaNsient SYstems Simulations) Hybrid Lighting Model was revised so that two colorimetric indices pertinent to indoor illumination, the correlated color temperature (CCT) and color rendering index (CRI), ... -
Use of Air Conditioner Heat Rejection for Swimming Pool Heating
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 1999)Residential swimming pools are common in Wisconsin. However, pool heaters are needed in this climate to allow the pool to be used during the summer and to extend the period of use from late spring to early fall. Swimming ... -
The Use of Water as a Refrigerant: Impact of Cycle Modifications on Commercial Feasibility
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2004)The purpose of this research was to investigate the economic feasibility of a water-based vapor compression chiller with a nominal capacity of 1000 tons. Low-level models of various potential cycle configurations have ...
