The setup consists of two adjacent climatic chambers, which share a common wall, in which the multi-layer wall samples are mounted. A solar simulator is applied within the outdoor air climatic chamber, whose radiation spectrum and radiation intensity are approximately equivalent to those of the sun. The first tests have been carried out on a wall sample with a typical structure of existing buildings from the year 1930 in Germany. In addition, a high-performance insulating plaster layer has been applied on a basic test sample (with existing building structure) to replicate and assess the refurbished scenario. Furthermore, a numerical investigation on the transient heat transfer process is carried out by using the simulation software COMSOL Multiphysics®. The experimental results of both uninsulated and insulated wall samples are validated against 1D and 3D models. As seen, the uninsulated wall, whose thermal conductance was experimentally determined to be equal to 1.79 W/(m²K), absorbs a heat flux of 208 W/m² through its external wall surface over a period of 8 hours. A fraction of 9.8 \% of the absorbed heat arrives as a gain on the internal wall and reduces the transmission heat losses by 11.7 \% over a period of 55 hours. On the other hand, the thermal conductivity of the insulation layer of the refurbished wall sample with micro hollow glass spheres was estimated by a parameter estimation procedure using the 3D model and the obtained experimental data. Using the estimated thermal conductivity, a thermal conductance of 0.42 W/(m²K) has been obtained for the refurbished wall sample.}, language = {en} } @misc{SchwanzerDietrichGadereretal., author = {Schwanzer, Peter and Dietrich, Markus and Gaderer, Matthias and Rabl, Hans-Peter}, title = {Monitoring von Partikelfiltern f{\"u}r den Einsatz in Fahrzeugen mit direkt- einspritzenden Ottomotoren mit einer Radio-Frequenz (RF-) Antenne}, series = {Kolloquium des Bayerischen Wissenschaftsforum}, journal = {Kolloquium des Bayerischen Wissenschaftsforum}, language = {de} } @misc{SchwanzerDietrichGadereretal., author = {Schwanzer, Peter and Dietrich, Markus and Gaderer, Matthias and Rabl, Hans-Peter}, title = {Detektion unterschiedlicher Medien in Gasoline Particulate Filter (GPF) mit Hilfe eines Radio-Frequenz (RF-) Sensors}, series = {Bayerische Wissenschaftsforum - BayWISS 2020}, journal = {Bayerische Wissenschaftsforum - BayWISS 2020}, language = {de} } @misc{AltmannRablGaderer, author = {Altmann, Robert and Rabl, Hans-Peter and Gaderer, Matthias}, title = {Ph{\"a}nomenologische Untersuchung des Einspritzverhaltens von Pflanzen{\"o}lkraftstoff}, series = {3.

All kinetic results of the small-scale adsorbent sample and the APHE were fitted into exponential forms with a single characteristic time constant (τ) with a coefficient of determination (R2) better than 0.9531. A very good matching between the small-scale and full-scale adsorption kinetic measurements was obtained, with an average relative deviation of 12.3\% in the obtained τ-values. In addition, the kinetic data of the small-scale adsorbent sample were utilized for estimating the expected specific instantaneous and moving average powers of the evaporator/condenser heat exchanger.

SATIS is also designed to obtain the maximum transmittance at a prescribed design irradiation angle and to reduce it remarkably at higher irradiation angles. A purely mineral thermal insulation plaster with micro hollow glass spheres is applied to manufacture the investigated SATIS prototype. Light-conducting elements (LCEs) have been introduced into SATIS and suitable closing elements have been applied. The SATIS prototype has been investigated both experimentally and numerically. It turned out that the contributions of conduction, radiation and convection to the effective thermal conductivity of SATIS, without the closing elements (49 mWmK), amount to 86.2\%, 13.2\% and 0.6\%, respectively. The angle-dependent short-wave radiation exchange within the LCE has been investigated via ray tracing. At the incidence angle of 19\% (design angle), 27\% of the radiation within the LCE is absorbed by the absorber plate, resulting in measured and computed total solar energy transmittances of 11.2\%/11.7\%, respectively. For a typical summer irradiation angle of 60\%, 98\% of the incident radiation is absorbed by the surfaces at the entrance of the LCE.

In order to reduce the iron oxide pellets (90\% Fe2O3, 10\% stabilizing cement), hydrogen (H2) is applied in different concentrations with nitrogen (N2), as a carrier gas, at temperatures between between 700 ∘C and 900 ∘C, thus simulating the charging phase. The discharge phase is triggered by the flow of a mixture out of steam (H2O) and N2 at different concentrations in the same temperature range, resulting in the oxidizing of the previously reduced pellets. All investigations were carried out in a thermo-gravimetric analyzer (TGA) with a flow rate of 250mL/min. To describe the obtained kinetic results, a simplified analytical model, based on the linear driving force model, was developed. The investigated iron oxide pellets showed a stable redox performance of 23.8\% weight reduction/gain, which corresponds to a volumetric storage density of 2.8kWh/(L bulk), also after the 29 performed redox cycles. Recalling that there is no H2 stored during the storage phase but iron, the introduced hydrogen storage technology is deemed very promising for applications in urban areas as day-night or seasonal storage for green hydrogen.}, language = {en} } @article{MikhaeilGadererDawoud, author = {Mikhaeil, Makram and Gaderer, Matthias and Dawoud, Belal}, title = {On the development of an innovative adsorber plate heat exchanger for adsorption heat transformation processes; an experimental and numerical study}, series = {Energy}, volume = {207}, journal = {Energy}, number = {September}, publisher = {Elsevier}, doi = {10.1016/j.energy.2020.118272}, pages = {1 -- 13}, abstract = {An innovative adsorber plate heat exchanger (APHE), which is developed for application in adsorption heat pumps, chillers and thermal energy storage systems, is introduced.

Adsorption kinetic measurements have been carried out in a volumetric large-temperature-jump setup under typical operating conditions of adsorption processes. A transient 2-D model is developed for the tested sample inside the setup. The measured temporal uptake variations with time have been fed to the model, through which a micro-pore diffusion coefficient at infinite temperature of 2 E-4 [m2s-1] and an activation energy of 42.1 [kJ mol-1] have been estimated. A 3-D model is developed to simulate the combined heat and mass transfer inside the APHE and implemented in a commercial software. Comparing the obtained results with the literature values for an extruded aluminium adsorber heat exchanger coated with a 500 μm layer of the same adsorbent, the differential water uptake obtained after 300 s of adsorption (8.2 g/100 g) implies a sound enhancement of 310\%.

It turned out that the insulation properties of SATIS can be effectively improved by reducing the length of the glass closure element. Increasing the area share of the light conducting elements (LCEs) and decreasing their length-to-diameter (L/D) ratio were identified as key parameters in order to increase the solar gain. Two SATIS variants were compared with the same wall insulation without SATIS in a yearly energetic performance assessment. The SATIS variant with 10 mm length of the closure element, 44.2\% area share of LCE, as well as front and rear diameters of 12 mm/9 mm shows an 11.8\% lower transmission heat loss over the heating period than the wall insulation without SATIS. A new methodology was developed to enable the implementation of the computed solar gains of SATIS in 1D simulation tools. The result is a radiant heat flow map for integration as a heat source in 1D simulation models.
