KUEHN Thermal Environmental Engineering Division, Department of Mechanical Engineering. University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota, U.S.A. 1. INTRODUCTION Thermodynamic second law analysis can be employed to determine where losses occur in a given system. Inputs to this analysis include thermodynamic state information, mass flows, work transfers and heat exchange. Applications to vapor compression refrigeration and heat pump systems are outlined in references /1/ and /2/. However additional details of the processes are required to identify the nature of the losses. From this detailed information one can then begin to develop simple models useful in component or system thermodynamic optimization. A thermodynamic second law analysis is performed on an air cooled single stage mechanical vapor compression refrigeration system operating steadily under full load.

  • The Use of Portable Fans and Portable Air Conditioning Units During COVID-19 in Long-Term Care and Retirement Homes
    AT A GLANCE The Use of Portable Fans and Portable Air Conditioning Units during COVID-19 in Long- term Care and Retirement Homes Key Findings Careful consideration should be given to the use of portable fans and air conditioning units in long-term care homes or retirement homes. Portable fans and portable air conditioning units require routine cleaning and preventative maintenance. Portable fans and portable air conditioning units need to be strategically located to minimize risk of potential healthcare-associated infections. Alternative cooling methods should be explored in the long-term care setting. Introduction Seasonal hot weather including extreme heat events (EHE) can impact our health and well-being, including those residing in long-term care homes (LTCH) and retirement homes (RH) where central air conditioning is unavailable. Several long-term care and retirement homes have old building design with no centralized heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. Long-term care and retirement homes need to use alternative methods such as portable fans or portable air conditioning (AC) units to improve residents’ comfort and reduce the illnesses associated with excessive heat. Health care facilities such as LTCH need to be aware of the potential risk of infection transmission associated with some of the heat relief options. This document provides recommendations for consideration on the use of portable fans and air conditioning units in these facilities. Background The risk of heat-related illnesses is higher in elderly

  • Improving Ventilation and Indoor Air Quality During Wildfire Smoke Events Recommendations for Schools and Buildings with Mechanical Ventilation
    Improving Ventilation and Indoor Air Quality during Wildfire Smoke Events Recommendations for Schools and Buildings with Mechanical Ventilation Overview • Smoke is a complex mixture of carbon dioxide (CO2), water vapor, carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons, other organic chemicals, nitrogen oxides (NOX), trace minerals, and particulate matter. o Particulate matter consists of solid particles and liquid droplets suspended in the air. Particles with diameters less than 10 microns (PM10) are upper respiratory tract and eye irritants. o Smaller particles (PM2.5) are the greatest health concern – they can be inhaled deep into the lungs, and can affect respiratory and heart health. o Carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas produced by incomplete combustion, is a particular health concern and levels are highest during the smoldering stages of a fire. • Outdoor (ambient) air pollutants, including smoke, enter and leave buildings in three primary ways: 1. Mechanical ventilation systems, which actively draw in outdoor air through intake vents and distribute it throughout the building. 2. Natural ventilation (opening of doors or windows). 3. Infiltration, the passive entry of unfiltered outdoor air through small cracks and gaps in the building shell. • Tightly closed buildings reduce exposure to outdoor air pollution. Upgrading the filter efficiency of the heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system and changing filters frequently during smoke events greatly improves indoor air quality. Supplementing with HEPA filters, particularly those with activated charcoal or other adsorbents, improves air quality even more. • During long-term smoke events, take advantage of periods of improved air quality (such as during rain or shifts in wind) to use natural ventilation to flush-out the building.
