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{SchwanzerMieslingerRabletal., author = {Schwanzer, Peter and Mieslinger, Johann and Rabl, Hans-Peter and Dietrich, Markus and Haft, Gerhard and Walter, Stefanie and Hagen, Gunter and Moos, Ralf and Gaderer, Matthias}, title = {Monitoring of a Particulate Filter for Gasoline Direct Injection Engines with a Radio-Frequency-Sensor}, series = {11th International Exhaust Gas and Particulate Emissions Forum, 3.-4.3.2020, Ludwigsburg, Germany}, journal = {11th International Exhaust Gas and Particulate Emissions Forum, 3.-4.3.2020, Ludwigsburg, Germany}, abstract = {In order to comply with future emission regulations, the use of particulate filters in vehicles with direct injection gasoline engines is essential. The current amount of soot and ash in the filter is calculated by a soot load model in the electronic control unit in combination with a differential pressure sensor determining the pressure drop over the particulate filter. Active regeneration is initiated if the calculated amount of soot or the measured differential pressure is too high. This is associated with additional fuel consumption. An on-board diagnosis for the particulate filter is currently not part of the Euro 6d emission standard. For future exhaust emission standards, on-board diagnosis or active monitoring of the particulate filter is conceivable. One of the benefits of monitoring is the fact that unnecessary active regenerations can be avoided. As a result, there is no additional fuel consumption due to misinterpretations of the amount of soot in the filter. For active monitoring of the particulate filter, a radiofrequency (RF-) sensor, that detects the soot loading of the filter with electromagnetic waves directly, can be used. Such a system has the advantage that by utilizing the filter as a sensor more precise information about the current state of the filter, e.g. a possible damage, can be provided. Worst-case considerations of filter damages, tested at an engine test bench show the advantages which are entailed by a system like that. By means of partial regeneration of the particulate filter it is demonstrated how the remaining amount of soot in the filter can be detected in a better way in comparison to the differential pressure sensor by using the RF-sensor.}, 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. A test frame has been constructed as a representative segment of the introduced APHE for applying loose grains of AQSOA-Z02. 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\%. This result proves the great potential of the introduced APHE to remarkably enhance the performance of adsorption heat transformation appliances.}, language = {en} }
