The main purpose of the present work was the completion and the thermo-fluid dynamic characterization of a Rotary Permanent Magnet Magnetic Refrigerator operating at room temperature. The experimental device consists ...

The evolution in the renewable energies field led to search for solutions that allow the combined achievement of heterogeneous energy vectors. This theme introduces multiple levels of analysis, from the definition of new ...

Thermal processing is the major processing technology in the food industry and its purpose is to extend the shelf life of food products without compromising food safety. Apart from the positive effect of food treatments, such ...

Every year 5 million of boilers for domestic heating are sold in the European Union (EU). Because heating contributes to more than 20% to the whole energy use in the EU strategies for energy saving are of great ...

Magnetic refrigeration is an innovative, promising and ecologic technology, which aims to substitute the conventional vapor-compression refrigeration by the employment of solid materials as refrigerants instead of the ...

Lo studio dei meccanismi di termoregolazione del corpo umano e lo sviluppo di modelli di previsione della risposta fisiologica dell’individuo nei confronti del microclima hanno subito un notevole rilancio negli ultimi dieci ...

The present experimental work was born from the need to expand the knowledge on the new type of refrigerant fluids, the HFO, representing the fourth generation of fluorinated refrigerants, born in response to the directives ...

A technology that has the potential to create more efficient and compact refrigeration devices is an Active Magnetic Regenerative Refrigerator (AMRR). An AMRR can operate over a broad range of temperatures, as long as ...
