Savings in Cooling Energy with a Thermal Management System for LED Lighting in Office Buildings

by Byung-Lip Ahn 1,2,Ji-Woo Park 1,Seunghwan Yoo 1,Jonghun Kim 1,Seung-Bok Leigh 2 andCheol-Yong Jang 1,* Abstract Light-emitting diode (LED) lighting should be considered for lighting efficiency enhancement, however, waste heat from light-emitting diode (LED) lighting increases the internal cooling load during the summer season. In order to solve this problem we propose a thermal management system for light-emitting diode (LED) lighting with a

Effects of Cr-addition on ageing response of an Al–Si–Mg die cast alloy

Yiwu Xu ab1, Yuxin Zhang c1, Jinping Li d, Pan Wang e, Jianfeng Wang e, Houwen Chen c, Houqing Sun f, Hongyi Zhan e Abstract Chromium (Cr) is rarely added to Al–Si die cast alloys as it has a strong tendency to induce the formation of coarse-sized sludge particles. In the present study, high pressure die-cast samples made of Al-7wt.%Si–Cr–Mg alloys with varied Fe contents (0.11 wt%, 0.26 wt% and 0.32 wt%) were tensile tested under as-cast and T5 heat-treated conditions, in comparison
