Accurate and real time executable engine models are essential in this work. One successful way of lowering the NOx emissions is to use Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR). The objective of this thesis is to create a mean value model for Scania’s next generation EGR system consisting of a poppet valve and a two stage cooler. -
ENGINE COOLING and VEHICLE AIR CONDITIONING AGRICULTURAL and CONSTRUCTION VEHICLES What Is Thermal Management?
ENGINE COOLING AND VEHICLE AIR CONDITIONING AGRICULTURAL AND CONSTRUCTION VEHICLES What is thermal management? Modern thermal management encompasses the areas of engine cooling and vehicle air conditioning. In addition to ensuring an optimum engine temperature in all operating states, the main tasks include heating and cooling of the vehicle cabin. However, these two areas should not be considered in isolation. One unit is often formed from components of these two assemblies which influence one another reciprocally. All components used must therefore be as compatible as possible to ensure effective and efficient thermal management. In this brochure, we would like to present you with an overview of our modern air-conditioning systems and also the technology behind them. We not only present the principle of operation, we also examine causes of failure, diagnosis options and special features.

Using Radiators with Wetback Fires the Joy of Fire with the Comfort of Central Heating
using radiators with wetback fires The joy of fire with the comfort of central heating. Heating Radiators with Fire Log burners are commonly available with a wetback system that heats • Heat more of your home with a hot water cylinder. It’s possible to extend the functionality of the your fire wetback by using radiators to spread the heat to other parts of the house. • Radiators available in a This means you can get the pleasure of watching a fire burn in your living variety of styles and endless room while the rest of the home is brought to a comfortable temperature colour options by the radiators. • Using a cheap and reliable People often try to move the hot air from a fire into other parts of the source of firewood means no house with duct work. Moving heat with water is so much more effective additional fuel costs as water transports energy four times better than air. The number of radiators you can heat depends on the heat output of the wetback and the rating of the radiators. A typical wetback only provides 2 to 4kW of heat as this is all that is needed to heat a hot water cylinder if the fire is on for five to ten hours per day. In order to heat a central heating system, a wetback with a higher output is often required. There are fires that have larger wetbacks (up to 15kW) and put out more heat to the wetback, enabling more radiators to be connected. How It Works While the fire is burning, the heat from the combustion process heats water jackets installed within the firebox. -

The heat transfer surface of this heat exchanger is composed of polymeric hollow fibers made from polyamide 612 by DuPont (Zytel LC6159). The cross-section of the polymeric radiator is identical to the aluminum radiator (louvered fins on flat tubes) in a Skoda Octavia and measures 720 × 480 mm. The goal of the study is to compare the functionality and performance parameters of both radiators based on the results of tests in a calibrated air wind tunnel. During testing, both heat exchangers were tested in conventional conditions used for car radiators with different air flow and coolant (50% ethylene glycol) rates. The polymeric hollow fiber heat exchanger demonstrated about 20% higher thermal performance for the same air flow.

I must also thank Dr. Mayor for his guidance, insight, and enthusiasm over the course of this work. -
Consumer Guide: Balancing the Central Heating System
Consumer Guide: Balancing the central heating system System Balancing Keep your home heating system in good working order. Balancing the heating system Balancing of a heating system is a simple process which can improve operating efficiency, comfort and reduce energy usage in wet central heating systems. Many homeowners are unaware of the merits of system balancing -an intuitive, common sense principle that heating engineers use to make new and existing systems operate more efficiently. Why balance? Balancing of the heating system is the process of optimising the distribution of water through the radiators by adjusting the lockshield valve which equalizes the system pressure so it provides the intended indoor climate at optimum energy efficiency and minimal operating cost. To provide the correct heat output each radiator requires a certain flow known as the design flow. If the flow of water through the radiators is not balanced, the result can be that some radiators can take the bulk of the hot water flow from the boiler, leaving other radiators with little flow. This can affect the boiler efficiency and home comfort conditions as some rooms may be too hot or remain cold. There are also other potential problems. Thermostatic radiator valves with too much flow may not operate properly and can be noisy with water “streaming” noises through the valves, particularly as they start to close when the room temperature increases. What causes an unbalanced system? One cause is radiators removed for decorating and then refitted. This can affect the balance of the whole system. Consequently, to overcome poor circulation and cure “cold radiators” the system pump may be put onto a higher speed or the boiler thermostat put onto a higher temperature setting. -
A Heat Pump for Space Applications
45th International Conference on Environmental Systems ICES-2015-35 12-16 July 2015, Bellevue, Washington A Heat Pump for Space Applications H.J. van Gerner 1, G. van Donk2, A. Pauw3, and J. van Es4 National Aerospace Laboratory NLR, Amsterdam, The Netherlands and S. Lapensée5 European Space Agency, ESA/ESTEC, Noordwijk ZH, The Netherlands In commercial communication satellites, waste heat (5-10kW) has to be radiated into space by radiators. These radiators determine the size of the spacecraft, and a further increase in radiator size (and therefore spacecraft size) to increase the heat rejection capacity is not practical. A heat pump can be used to raise the radiator temperature above the temperature of the equipment, which results in a higher heat rejecting capacity without increasing the size of the radiators. A heat pump also provides the opportunity to use East/West radiators, which become almost as effective as North/South radiators when the temperature is elevated to 100°C. The heat pump works with the vapour compression cycle and requires a compressor. However, commercially available compressors have a high mass (40 kg for 10kW cooling capacity), cause excessive vibrations, and are intended for much lower temperatures (maximum 65°C) than what is required for the space heat pump application (100°C). Dedicated aerospace compressors have been developed with a lower mass (19 kg) and for higher temperatures, but these compressors have a lower efficiency. For this reason, an electrically-driven, high-speed (200,000 RPM), centrifugal compressor system has been developed in a project funded by the European Space Agency (ESA). -
Engine Block Materials and Its Production Processes
ENGINE BLOCK MATERIALS AND ITS PRODUCTION PROCESSES 2.2 THE CAST IRON MONOLITHIC BLOCK The widespread use of cast iron monolithic block is as a result of its low cost and its formidability. This type of block normally comes as the integral type where the engine cylinder and the upper crankcase are joined together as one. The iron used for this block is the gray cast iron having a pearlite-microstructure. The iron is called gray cast iron because its fracture has a gray appearance. Ferrite in the microstructure of the bore wall should be avoided because too much soft ferrite tends to cause scratching, thus increasing blow-by. The production of cast iron blocks using a steel die is rear because its lifecycle is shortened as a result of the repeated heat cycles caused by the molten iron. Sand casting is the method widely used in the production of cast iron blocks. This involves making the mould for the cast iron block with sand. The preparation of sand and the bonding are a critical and very often rate-controlling step. Permanent patterns are used to make sand molds. Usually, an automated molding machine installs the patterns and prepares many molds in the same shape. Molten metal is poured immediately into the mold, giving this process very high productivity. After solidification, the mold is destroyed and the inner sand is shaken out of the block. The sand is then reusable. The bonding of sand is done using two main methods: (i) the green sand mold and (ii) the dry sand mold. -
