Next level power unit cooling systems

TST wrote: . We developed a two stage approach for cooling train power units. Firstly we focused on cooling during dynamic phase via adjustable flaps, a heat transfer system and a combination of diffusors and nozzles. For static use we developed a special fan system for train station operation. Different operation phases and solutions: acceleleration phase: klappen system schließen. Diffusor-düse-system. Wärmeleitsystem. Werkstoffauswahl (für wärmeleitsystem). Drive mode. Klappen anstellen (winkel adaptieren). Latentwärmespeicher „laden“. Diffusor-düse-system. Externer wagen zur kühlung. Deceleration. Klappen öffnen (entlüften). Konstruktion adaptieren (kamineffekt). Latentwärmespeicher entladen. Wärmeleitsystem. Werkstoffauswahl (wärmeleitsystem...

Regreening deserted fields in Sub-Sahara

Greendesert wrote: In cooperation with professors from the university of bremen and local partners in cameroon, we have developed an entrepreneurial approach to combat desertification in cameroon. Using the revitec technology developed by researchers at the university of bremen, we fill biodegradable bags with various local substrates and seeds and lay them on the affected fields. The bags provide the seedlings with nutrients and sufficiently store water to guarantee sustainable plant growth, even in very dry weather conditions. . . Our aim is to build up a business in cameroon which offers a regreening service to the local communities. This service consists of targeting the respective fields,..

Pentagrama Agroflorestal wrote: Our solution is the result of technical knowledge accumulated over 20 years of research, development and implementation of large-scale agroforestry systems. We associate, based on agriculture 4. 0: mechanization, precision and biological agriculture, digital technology in production and data collection, analysis and software for monitoring. Our business model is based on a platform concept that connects all stakeholders: investors, cooperatives (including family farming), rural owners, producers, distributors and buyers. It is a 20-years financial model with minimum profitable area for implementation, system design, mapped market demands, pre-purchase agreements and land options for implementation...

Thin CIGS solar cells

Midsummer’s innovation Midsummer Slim, which is a solar panel composed of thin film CIGS (copper indium gallium selenide) solar cells. The solar panel is ultra-thin with a thickness of 2 mm and an average weight of 3 kg/m2. The panel can be integrated into roofing materials such as folded sheet roofs and roof tiles, and it can also be mounted externally on existing roofs. It has a nominal effect of 144 Wp and a production capacity of 100 Wp/m2. The manufacturer information states that the panel has a maximum efficiency of 16 % at a cellular level.

Improving water quality

Shellf wrote: Biomimicry of conventional energy-intensive sewage treatment systems using mass scale filter feeder mussel farms has an immense potential for coastal pollution abatement and energy savings. Value creation at each stage is significant including nutrient removal (nitrogen, phosphorus, and organic carbon) from coastal zones, economic value-add and protein source with high export potential. The proposed model has direct contribution to multiple sustainable development goals such as sdg 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 10, 13, and 14 and significant ghg reductions leading to climate mitigation...

SusTECH

SusTECH wrote: The industrial activities are the main responsible for the release of contaminants in the aquatic bodies. Many of these contaminants are toxic and persist in the environment, causing diverse impacts in the ecosystems, and human health. On the other hand, the conventional technologies for water treatment are expensive, use several chemicals, generate large amounts of contaminated sludge and may be inefficient to achieve trace concentrations. We offer a green, and efficient biotechnology to industries that allows treating their effluents in a simple, and inexpensive way enabling aquifer discharge or water reuse...
