This paper presents a description of thermal analyses of forced-air ventilation and thermosyphon cooling systems, which were carried out in connection with the design of the concrete raft foundations that support hangars and other major structures to be constructed by the Department of National Defence adjacent to the existing airport near Inuvik, N.W.T. The cooling systems are required to prevent heat from the buildings from thawing the ice-rich permafrost present below the site. The analyses identified those parameters that have the most significant effect on the efficiency of each system. Based partially on the results of the analyses, it was decided to utilize air ventilation for cooling. The system is expected to perform satisfactorily under natural convection; however, the design includes a provision to install air blowers, if this should prove necessary in the future. A number of areas in which further research appears useful have been identified. Key words: permafrost, thermal analysis, raft foundation, hangar, ventilated slab, natural convection, thermosyphons.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the validation of the usefulness of cooling systems containing Peltier modules for cooling power devices based on measurements of the influence of selected factors on the value of thermal resistance of such a cooling system. Design/methodology/approach A cooling system containing a heat-sink, a Peltier module and a fan was built by the authors and the measurements of temperatures and thermal resistance in various supply conditions of the Peltier module and the fan were carried out and discussed. Findings Conclusions from the research carried out answer the question if the use of Peltier modules in active cooling systems provides any benefits comparing with cooling systems containing just passive heat-sinks or conventional active heat-sinks constructed of a heat-sink and a fan. Research limitations/implications The research carried out is the preliminary stage to asses if a compact thermal model of the investigated cooling system can be formulated. Originality/value In the paper, the original results of measurements and calculations of parameters of a cooling system containing a Peltier module and an active heat-sink are presented and discussed. An influence of power dissipated in the components of the cooling system on its efficiency is investigated.

Save Energy

Air conditioning plays a significant role to maintain a cool atmosphere in warm conditions, However, the power consumed by the machine is higher. The commercial prevailing cooling systems are required to operate ventilation and cooling systems in buildings and in turn consumes more power. These systems apart from consuming electricity it also adds to the CO2 emissions to our environment. These energy consumption and CO2 emissions can be decreased by the assistance of energy effective frameworks to the prevailing air conditioning system. The study was conducted on a package unit of 414.2 kW by measuring the relative humidity, dry bulb, and wet bulb temperature to investigate the effect of indirect evaporative cooling on the systems COP. Also, the modelling of the package unit was done using Creo software and the analysis was carried out using ANSYS considering the flow and thermal analysis for different components of the package units. From this analysis it can be observed that by implementing the adiabatic cooling in package unit it is possible to save energy consumption. From the results it can be concluded that energy efficiency was more and the return on investment is high. Also, coefficient of performance of this machine is high and consumes less electricity and the expected energy savings is 20%.

The Mathematical Model

This paper presents an innovative mechanical actuator using a shape memory alloy (SMA) with a cooling system based on combined thermoelectric effect and forced air cooling systems. The main advantages of using SMAs include the reduction of the system weight, the ease and reliability in application, and a simple control strategy. This study focuses on the development of the system highlighting the mathematical model of the actuator, and an experimental prototype was implemented. Several experiments are used to validate the model and to identify best SMA actuator configuration parameters. Experiments were used to evaluate the actuator closed-loop performance, stability, and robustness properties.
