SPATIALLY SELECTIVE DILUTION IN COMBUSTION PROCESSESPublicated: 14.September 2022Researchers from Laboratory for Internal Combustion Engines (LICeM) published a paper in Journal of Environmental Management (IF=8.9) where they presented a novel concept for control of mixture reactivity in continuous combustion systems (burners, gas turbines). Innovative approach confirms the hypothesis that direct and spatially selective injection of inert and partially inert (CO2) gasses in regions with high heat release rates allows a precise control of temperature and concentration field in combustion chamber.

Experimental Investigation of Air-based Active-Passive System for Cooling Application in BuildingsPublicated: 30.August 2022Due to the consequences of global warming, cooling of lightweight buildings is one of the main future challenges. The study presents an active-passive system (APS) with phase change material (PCM) plates integrated into the internal wall and ceiling substructure which during the day cools the indoor space passively. The authors of the research, the Laboratory for Heating, Sanitary and Solar Technology, jointly published the results in the journal Sustainable Cities and Society (IF=10,696).
