Thermal cooling load

Ventilation thermal load The heating or cooling load required to compensate for thermal losses resulting from natural or mechanical ventilation. 

Considering the factors shown above and the heterogeneous, transient nature of the mechanical, kinetic, and thermal components, the most favorable time for chemical reaction is during the loading pulse, not during the post-shock thermal-cooling period. 

Before the calculation of performances, heating and cooling loads which can be covered by the Energy Pipe System are evaluated. Total amount of heating and cooling is 230 GJ and 75.6 GJ, respectively, and peak loads are 50 kW for heating. On the other hands, average effective thermal conductivity was measured by the on-site thermal response test and it was 2.2 W/(mK). 

Naslund (2000) investigated a district cooling system in Sundsvall, mid Sweden, with sea water and stored snow. The cooling load was 7,900 kW and 7,450-8,560 MWh. Natural snow from streets and squares were complemented with artificial snow made by snow guns or water spraying. The estimated snow proportion was 43.6-66.8% and 122,500m3 of snow was needed. Two layers ofO.Ol mplastic sheets with thermal conductivity 0.04 W m-1 K-1 was recommended as insulation. The plant has not yet been realized (2005). 

In the lower panels of the figure, properties of each pane of a double pane structure are shown. Low IR transmittance (lower left) of the outer pane keeps thermal infrared solar radiation from entering the building. The broad transmittance band of the inner layer and low inside reflectance of the inner pane allows thermal infrared energy to escape. This structure reduces the cooling load in a sunny environment.

The mechanical loads on the reactor vessel support structure include the dead weight and seismic loads. The thermal loads include the differential thermal expansion loads for the normal reactor operation as well as the temperature response of the support structure for a number of postulated thermal transients. These include the reactor closure head heating system overpower, full and partial loss of closure head heaters and reactor vessel heat-up and cool-down events. 

The important steel reactor pressure vessel analysis is to check them against loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA), especially in PWR. A loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) occurs as a result of a penetration to the main coolant boundary such that the primary circuit water is released through the break to the containment area, causing a rapid decrease in the pressure and temperature of the primary coolant Fig. 4.19. This will give an impact thermal shock load. The streamline break accident (SLBA) occurs as a result of a complete and partial rupture of a steam line inside the containment vessel. A rapid cool-down and depressurization of the primary circuit normally take place. In order to restore... 

Thermally induced loadings at a cooled turbine blade and their simulation by TMF testing. 

Cooling tower blowdown can be reduced by improving the energy efficiency of processes, thus reducing the thermal load on cooling towers. Alternatively, cooling water systems can be switched to air coolers, which eliminates the problem altogether.
