Demonstrating a novel configuration of FPSE prototype working at medium temperature range (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Ghozzi, S., & Boukhanouf, R. (2016). Demonstrating a novel configuration of FPSE prototype working at medium temperature range.

Numerous FPSE designs have been demonstrated, tested and maybe commercially produced for different applications since Beale had invented the first design of the FPSE. The proposed design of FPSE is intended to operate at atmosphere pressure and low h... Read More about Demonstrating a novel configuration of FPSE prototype working at medium temperature range.

Recent passive technologies of greenhouse systems: a review (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Harjunowibowo, D., Cuce, E., Omer, S. A., & Riffat, S. B. (2016). Recent passive technologies of greenhouse systems: a review.

There are 130 countries produces greenhouse vegetables commercially with more than 1.1 million acres in 2016. Most of the greenhouses deal with high operating costs due to the great energy needs. The high heat loss because of the greenhouse envelope... Read More about Recent passive technologies of greenhouse systems: a review.

The effect of shading, infiltration and ventilation levels on overheating and heating demands in UK residential buildings: case study: Trent Basin Regeneration (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Abdulla, Z., & Rodrigues, L. (2016). The effect of shading, infiltration and ventilation levels on overheating and heating demands in UK residential buildings: case study: Trent Basin Regeneration

Overheating in UK buildings is gradually becoming a widely addressed issue due to two main factors. The first being the climate change which is causing mean temperatures to rise all over the world, and the second being design methods used in low ener...

Theoretical analysis of a membrane-based cross-flow liquid desiccant system (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Bai, H., Chen, Z., Xu, H., & Zhu, J. (2016). Theoretical analysis of a membrane-based cross-flow liquid desiccant system.

Liquid desiccant air dehumidification has become one of the most widely used dehumidification technologies with advantages of high efficiency, no liquid condensate droplets and capability of energy storage. In this paper a cross-flow mathematical mod... Read More about Theoretical analysis of a membrane-based cross-flow liquid desiccant system.

Experimental investigation of a novel heat pipe and porous ceramic based indirect evaporative cooler (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Amer, O., & Boukhanouf, R. (2016). Experimental investigation of a novel heat pipe and porous ceramic based indirect evaporative cooler.

The paper presents laboratory test results of an integrated heat pipe and ceramic tube based evaporative cooling prototype for air conditioning in buildings. The cooler integrates durable porous ceramic tubes as water saturated media materials and he...
