This book compiles the latest research, development, and application of VRF systems with contributions from various experts who pioneered and contributed to the development of the VRF system. This book presents the fundamental issues related to the real application and behaviour of the VRF system based on the long-term monitoring of the installed system. With our experience of pandemic which COVID-19 is an airborne, the spread of the virus is very fast. With this, the heating, ventilating and air-conditioning (HVAC) system is a major player in the maintenance and control of indoor environment to minimize the spread of the virus. As the variable refrigerant flow (VRF) system is a versatile HVAC system in which it can operate at different conditions, the application of the VRF system is very important to control the indoor environmental conditions. Thus, the publication of this book is important with the present situation and the future possible situation which the control of indoor spaces is very important. With this, this book will serve as a reference for building designer, contractors, building regulators and students.

Warmtenetten bieden, als potentieel koolstofarme energiesystemen, een valabel antwoord op de roep naar energietransitie, gevoed door het algemeen streven naar duurzaamheid. De aanleg en exploitatie van warmtenetten is, vanuit juridisch oogpunt, evenwel geen sinecure. Vooral de wijze waarop de (onder)grond in gebruik kan worden gegeven voor de aanleg en exploitatie van warmtenetinfrastructuur roept diverse juridische vragen op.00Dit boek analyseert op gedetailleerde wijze de juridische instrumenten die het grondgebruik voor de aanleg en exploitatie van warmtenetinfrastructuur vorm kunnen geven. Niet alleen vraagstukken uit het (administratief) goederenrecht en het verbintenissenrecht, maar ook kwesties uit het energierecht, het zekerheidsrecht, het aanbestedingsrecht en het fiscaal recht worden op een diepgravende wijze ontleed en beantwoord. Ook de technische eigenheden van warmtenetten worden in de analyse betrokken00Vervolgens vergelijkt dit boek de verworven theoretische inzichten met de praktijk aan de hand van twee cases.

Membrane Dehumidification and Cooling: Fundamentals and Applications presents the state-of-the-art on membrane dehumidifiers, highlighting their most recent advancements and providing key insights into global R&D interests. With a strong focus on applications, the book offers characterization techniques to evaluate the potential of hygroscopic materials, as well as experimental methods to study the dehumidifiers' performance. The book begins by highlighting the demerits of conventional cooling systems and then reviews electrically driven alternative cooling solutions. A comparative study between different dehumidification techniques is also given, along with sections on fundamental transport mechanisms and thermodynamic modeling. Finally, scaling, heat transfer and thermodynamic analysis are presented, along with a review of hybrid membrane-based air-conditioners. This book is a one-stop resource for recent advancements in membrane dehumidification and cooling applications. It is an essential read for students, researchers and engineers interested in thermal engineering, heat and mass transfer, alternative cooling, energy materials and dehumidification.

The 2nd edition of this book aims to underline how inadequate humidification of inspired gases can be the cause of a variety of serious problems and, thus, it brings new results and trends in humidification, updates about technological analyses in equipment’s ventilator modes and again the impact of humidification in complementary therapies such airway secretions in mechanical ventilated patients. These aspects are analysed in critically ill patients requiring various options of ventilatory approach (i.e. invasive, noninvasive, nasal high flow oxygen). The book starts with an exhaustive description of the pathophysiology of humidification in critically ill, and continues analyzing the impact of mechanical ventilation modalities (high-flow oxygen therapy, noninvasive mechanical ventilation, invasive mechanical ventilation, etc.), monitoring prevention of complications related to inadequate humidification. Important chapters are devoted to analyze determinants - ventilator associated pneumonia-humidification; humidification strategies in tracheostomized critical care patients; humidification and impact in airway clearance managements and the key aspects about humidification in the healthcare organization. This book is intended for all healthcare professionals working in Intensive Care Units (intensivists, anaesthesiologists, pulmonologist, neonatologist, nurses and respiratory therapist).
