A split system heat pump's defrost sensor is used to detect ice buildup on the heat pump's outdoor coil. When ice builds up on the coil, it reduces the heat pump's ability to transfer heat, which can ...

Excess heat from electronic or mechanical devices is a sign or cause of inefficient performance. In many cases, embedded sensors to monitor the flow of heat could help engineers alter device behavior ...

Heat stress is a persistent problem on construction sites during the summer months. Workers tend to push themselves to keep working even as they begin to show signs of heat exhaustion, and safety can ...

Why heat flux (flow) is an important thermal parameter. How researchers have developed an innovative heat-flux sensor. Details on the performance of this sensor in flat and curved situations. We know ...

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (WISH) — Thirty heat sensors have been installed on Indiana University’s campus and around the city of Bloomington. It’s part of a collaboration between the IU Luddy School of ...

Air recirculation in ventilation systems is essentially the mixing of a certain amount of exhaust air into the supply air. This process provides a reduction in energy consumption when heating fresh ...

The graph at top shows TFX heat flux sensor data used to monitor resin flow and cure during an INNOTOOL 4.0 project trial employing the mold in Fig. 3 (RTM6 resin, 3.2-mm thickness). The project’s ...
