Performance of a demand controlled mechanical extract ventilation system for dwellings [PDF]

, 2013
The main aim of ventilation is to guarantee a good indoor air quality, related to the energy consumed for heating and fan(s). Active or passive heat recovery systems seem to focus on the reduction of heating consumption at the expense of fan electricity ...

A comparison of different technologies to improve temperature control in refrigerated containers: A table grape export case

Heliyon
Purpose: Table grapes are exported in refrigerated (reefer) containers owing to their temperature sensitivity. Previous studies have found that insufficient airflow around pallets of fruit cause hotspots in reefer containers, which could negatively ...
