In the scope of long term cooperation with the Hidria a family of axial fans for use in air conditioning and ventilation was designed. The family of axial fans HEF includes fans with diameters from 330 mm to 910 mm. A new type of the rotor shape leads to the increase of the fan efficiency and to the reduction of the noise level.
F.06 Development of a new product
COBISS.SI-ID: 8916763Energy consumption and noise emission are the two most important characteristics of a domestic clothes drying machine. Condenser is one of the most important components of the dryer that considerably influences its energy characteristics. In the scope of long term cooperation with Gorenje company a new ceramic condenser with arbitrary construction of the flow tract was designed. It enables larger heat transfer and consequently considerably lower energy consumption and lower noise emission.
F.33 Slovenian patent
COBISS.SI-ID: 376616Long term experiences in the power plant technology and international publications of research activities resulted in great response of expert community. Laboratory for Heat and Power was invited to give its contribution to new standardization in the field of power plant performance tests with implementation of consistent models that describe the state of the art in the field of power plant technology as well as measurement techniques.
F.13 Development of new production methods and tools or processes
COBISS.SI-ID: 3984155The balance for measurement of mineral wool primary layer is built in the production line after the forming chamber. It enables with measurement of primary layer fast regulation of process parameters and is therefore much faster than other state of the art methods, which are possible only with several minutes delay. Using this better binder dosage and quick line speed regulation is possible, leading to more homogenous density distribution, binder distribution and therefore better quality. This enables the companies to manufacture better products and to strenghten their market positions.
F.32 International patent
COBISS.SI-ID: 8641307Patent concerns innovative hybrid electric powertrain. Based on the patent the prototype of the first hybrid powertrain for pleasure boats was developed in collaboration with ISKRA Avtolektrika d.d. Hybrid powertrain operated in the electric mode enables zero-exhaust emission and near-zero noise emission propulsion. It can further on-demand assist internal combustion engine, whereas it also reduces the number of power units, since separate electric gen-set could be omitted. Reduction in weight, space and costs can thus be assured.
