Impacts of HVAC cleaning on energy consumption and supply airflow: A multi-climate evaluation

Energy-efficiency interventions are crucial for sustainable building operations to accommodate emerging indoor air quality (IAQ) criteria into their engineering life cycles. While several studies have addressed building energy consumption and IAQ considerations separately, few provide integrated analysis of these aspects in response to building hygiene practices. In response, this study evaluates the effectiveness of routine heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) cleaning on energy consumption and supply airflow patterns in non-residential public buildings. This study juxtaposes HVAC energy consumption and ventilation performance before, during and after routine HVAC cleaning, across buildings situated in four different climate zones, while operating in cooling mode. Each site had nearly identical HVAC systems serving similar architectural features and occupational loads; these were segregated into an intervention (cleaned HVAC system) that could be compared to an otherwise identically operating HVAC (control system), which was not cleaned. Following prescriptive cleaning, HVAC systems exhibited significant energy consumption reductions and delivered higher airflows compared to their uncleaned counterparts. On average, intervention systems saved between 41 % and 60 % on conveyance (fan/blower) energy, with one exception, and supplied 10 % and 46 % more airflow compared to their uncleaned counterparts. This research demonstrates how a new generation of low-cost HVAC system monitors can compile Internet of Things (IoT) archives to show immediate energy consumption benefits associated with cleaning HVAC components and their associated ductwork serving relatively high occupancy commercial and educational spaces.

Post-mortem analysis of material deposition and fuel retention on the plasma-facing materials after the 2021 campaign in EAST

Plasma-wall interaction (PWI) is a critical concern in tokamaks because of its significant impact on the lifetimes of plasma-facing materials (PFMs), fuel retention, and plasma performance. In 2020, the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) PFMs were upgraded to predominantly metallic walls. Following the 2021 experimental campaign, the deposition distribution and fuel retention on the surfaces of the PFMs along both the poloidal and toroidal directions were analyzed. The poloidal tests commenced at the high-field side (HFS), proceeded to the lower divertor, then to the low-field side (LFS), and finally to the upper divertor. The toroidal tests were performed at the midplane of the HFS, beginning from port A and ending at port P. The distributions of the deposits in the poloidal and toroidal directions were clearly asymmetrical. Mo and Fe particles sputtered from the first wall and inner stainless steel (SS) components were prone to deposition in the lower divertor region, as evidenced by the fact that the elemental content in the far-SOL region of the inner divertor exhibited Mo and Fe peaks, as did both the near- and far-SOL regions of the outer divertor. In addition, quick re-deposition of W and Fe was observed, as demonstrated by the fact that their contents near the erosion sources were higher than those farther away along the toroidal first wall on the HFS. This tendency was stronger for W than for Fe. Further analysis indicated that the deposits consisted of Li, C, O, W, Mo, Fe, Cu, and Ni. The Li and Fe contents were much higher than those of other metal impurities, with peak values of 8.17 μg/mm2 and 7.78 μg/mm2, respectively. The Li content decreased along the HFS first wall from 8.17 μg/mm2 at P-2 to 1.82 μg/mm2 at P-22, and then increased to 2.72 μg/mm2 at P-32 in the divertor, while the Fe content was higher around the top side and the midplane of the HFS. The deposited Li originated from routine wall conditioning and existed primarily in the form of Li2CO3. Additionally, other metal impurities deposited on the Li2CO3 surfaces exhibited various irregular shapes, often appearing as aggregated and recrystallized small particles. Furthermore, significant deuterium (D) retention on the order of 1021 atoms/m2 was measured on all the analyzed SiC-coated graphite tiles on the HFS. The D content at location P-10 at the midplane was the highest along the poloidal direction of the HFS because it was directly facing the NBI beam.

Studies of material deposition on the graphite divertor tile after the 2019 experimental campaign in EAST

• Detailed analysis of the deposits on the surface of the graphite tile from the divertor dome region has been made after the 2019 experimental campaign. • The porous globular deposits on exposed graphite tile were mainly stacked by columnar grains with size of 2–5 μm and small crystal particles with several hundreds of nanometers in size. • The thickness of the deposits varied from several micrometers to about 120 μm. • As the SiC coating on the graphite tile has a rough surface and exhibited valleys and hills, the deposits on the valleys were typically thicker than that on the hills. • Li was in the form of Li 2 CO 3 . And Mo and W were in MoO3 and WO3 respectively. • The total content of Li 2 CO 3 was found to be higher than 90 wt% with a corresponding Li density in deposits of about 7.22 μg/mm −2 in average. • The intensity of Li was strong and changed only slightly with the depth, which was different from other elements. Elements of W, Mo, Fe, Cu seemed to be more concentrated at the near surface with a depth of about 4 μm. Material erosion and deposition are one of the important topics related to plasma-wall interaction in tokamaks. Detailed analysis of the deposits on the surface of the graphite tile from the divertor dome region has been made after the 2019 experimental campaign. It is indicated that the deposits exhibited porous globular in morphology which were mainly stacked by columnar grains with size of 2–5 μm and small crystal particles with several hundreds of nanometers in size. The thickness of the deposits varied from several micrometers to about 120 μm. As the SiC coating on the graphite tile has a rough surface and exhibited valleys and hills, the deposits on the valleys were typically thicker than that on the hills.

Clinical Evaluation of Exercise-Induced Physiological Changes in Military Working Dogs (MWDs) Resulting from the Use or Non-Use of Cooling Vests during Training in Moderately Hot Environments.

Simple SummaryA cooling vest is a clothing article especially designed to reduce body temperature and make exposure to heat in hot climates or environments more bearable. Such cooling vests can be of significant help to military working dogs (MWDs) in high-temperature regions. Dogs performing scent-detection tasks could benefit from the use of a cooling vest, if proven useful, by reducing the risk of heat stroke and olfactory fatigue. As different models of cooling vests are available for dogs, our aim was to compare wearing nothing versus two different models of cooling vests in a homogenous dog population during physical exercise (moderate-intensity running). We observed that the evaporative cooling waistcoat performed best. In conclusion, the waistcoats improve the cooling of the dogs during and after exercise, and differences between the two garment models exist.Nose work with military working dogs (MWDs) in warmer-than-usual areas has led us to look for new tools to reduce both heat stress and the risk of heat stroke. One of the different strategies to manage heat stress is the use of cooling vests, such as those used in humans. The aim was to assess three cooling conditions (using two different cooling vests during exercise and the non-use of such garments) by measuring core body temperature, systemic blood pressure and pulse rate before and after the exercise (moment: four measurement times) in military dogs of the I Military Police Battalion (in Valencia, Spain). All dogs were evaluated under all three conditions during the three days of the study. Significant differences were observed between condition, moment, and the interaction of these two factors, in relation to core body temperature and pulse rate. Therefore, the use of an evaporative cooling vest may further be useful as a routine thermal control and conditioning measure in MWDs.

Studies of material migration and deposition after the 2017 experimental campaign in EAST

Plasma-wall interaction is one of the key issues in tokamaks, as the material erosion and deposition will strongly influence the lifetime of plasma facing materials, fuel retention and plasma performance. Material migration and deposition have been firstly analyzed after the 2017 experimental campaign in EAST with tungsten (W) upper divertor, molybdenum inner wall and graphite lower divertor. It is found that the deposited elements on plasma-facing materials (PFMs) mainly consisted of Li, C, O, W and Mo etc, which was from the deposition of wall conditioning material and the sputtering of PFMs. More than 90 wt% of the deposits were lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide due to the routine lithium wall conditioning in EAST. Quantitative characterization of element density on graphite tile from lower inner divertor showed that W and Mo deposition increased when closer to the lower divertor, which is consistent with the decreasing normalized poloidal magnetic flux. The element composition of PFMs along poloidal direction has been measured by handheld X-ray fluorescence (XRF). The concentration of deposited Mo and W is less than 0.2 wt% on most of the PFM surface. Double peaks of W concentration near the upper W divertor and at the midplane tile were observed on the TZM inner wall surface at the high-field side, which can be explained by higher redeposition at the location near the upper inner divertor or with a smaller normalized poloidal magnetic flux. Besides, more redeposited Mo and W was found at the inner and outer divertor near strike points compared with the dome region.

Characterization of dust collected in EAST after 2019 campaign

Dust presented in experimental advanced superconducting tokamak (EAST) with mixed plasma-facing materials has been collected and characterized for the first time. Dust at different positions in the vessel was collected by vacuum cleaner after the first experimental campaign in 2019. The shape, composition, and size of dust particles have been analyzed using different methods. About 80% of the total number of dust particles have size between 20 and 80 μm, and most of dust particles are spherical, while schistose shape, columnar and irregular shape were also found. With the help of energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy different elements of dust have been identified, which is generally consistent with the different plasma-facing components in EAST. Both x-ray fluorescence and inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometer are complementary methods for measuring the dust composition quantitatively. It was found that the major components of dust were lithium dust in the form of lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide, which is due to the routine lithium wall conditioning during EAST operation.

Investigation of Hydrogen Glow Discharge Cleaning Side Effects on Tungsten

Hydrogen glow discharge cleaning (H-GDC) is a routine conditioning procedure for the modern tokamaks and the future fusion machines, including ITER. Due to the low energy of hydrogen ions in glow discharge plasmas, the probability of any considerable damage to the plasma-facing components was mainly ignored. In this work, Tungsten, as the primary candidate for the plasma-facing materials in tokamaks, is considered for studies regarding effects of the H-GDC procedure on the material during a routine vacuum vessel conditioning in Damavand tokamak. After performing routine H-GDC using pure hydrogen, the formation of loosely attached nanostructured bundles (NSBs) on the surface of the tungsten samples was observed. The presence of the NSBs, which can be a source of dust, would be significant due to their possible effects on the functionality of the future fusion plasma devices. The NSBs are observed on the tungsten samples with the surface temperature of <370 K after 2.5–4 hours of hydrogen ion bombardment with incident energy of ≈120 eV and fluence of ≈(2–3.5) × 1022 m–2. The surface modifications of specimens exposed to H‑GDC were examined using a material probe experiment and several surface analysis techniques such as SEM, EDX, XRD, and ERDA. Therefore, the formation of loose nanostructures on the wall of plasma confinement vessels due to H-GDC draws attention to probable damaging effects of this phenomenon upon functionality and outcomes of tokamaks.
