The effects of local versus systemic passive heating on the acute inflammatory, vascular and glycaemic response Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The aim of this study was to compare the acute cardiometabolic and perceptual responses between local and whole-body passive heating. Using a water-perfused suit, 10 recreationally active males underwent three 90 min conditions: heating of the legs with upper-body cooling (LBH), whole-body heating (WBH) and exposure to a thermoneutral temperature (CON). Blood samples were collected before and up to 3 h post-session to assess inflammatory ...
Modular methodology for developing comprehensive active and passive thermal management systems for electric vehicles Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Optimized passive thermal management for battery module Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This paper proposes the study of the thermal management system of an energy storage system centered on lithium-ion capacitor (LiC). The investigated system is a LiC module made of 12 cells. A proposed passive thermal strategy has been designed in a 3D model using COMSOL Multiphysics. The strategy consists of integrating different cooling strategies, i.e phase-change materials (PCMs) and liquid-cooling in the LiC module. Initial results showed ...
Impact of passive climate adaptation measures and building orientation on the energy demand of a detached lightweight semi-portable building KU Leuven
Investigation of a Passive Thermal Management System for Lithium-Ion Capacitors Vrije Universiteit Brussel
promising technology for automotive applications due to the solution
offered by their power density, high voltage operation and their
excellent durability (more than 2 million cycles). Nevertheless, the
reliability of LiCs can be drastically affected by overheating issues
which raise the importance of thermal management. Nowadays,
active cooling is employed ...
