Chaban I. Heat and humidity air treatment in compact shock-foam type apparatus with a unit of thermoelectric modules

3 Thesis deals with the current task of manufacturing and research compact shock-foam type apparatus with a unit of thermoelectric modules for providing microclimate parameters in special museum spaces of small volume and transportation of museum exhibits. The construction of compact shock-foam type apparatus with a unit of thermoelectric modules as well as surface heat exchanger placed in the foam layer have been developed and patented. Physical model of heat transfer processes in a compact shock-foam type apparatus with a unit of thermoelectric modules has been improved. The construction of heat exchanger has been designed on the numerical model. The aim was to stabilize the foam layer. Moreover the effect of the construction on hydrodynamic, heat and mass transfer processes has been identified as well as heat transfer from the heat exchanger surface in the foam layer has been determined. It resulted in the analytical and empirical equations for calculating the optimal operation of compact shock-foam type apparatus with a unit of thermoelectric modules. Exergy along with exergy and economical analysis of compact shock-foam type apparatus with a unit of thermoelectric modules have been conducted. The economical benefit from apparatus implementation has been shown. The results obtained are getting into actual practical use in Ukraine National Research and Restoration Center
