Project idea description

• Condition of mind which expresses

satisfaction with the thermal environment

It has been long recognized that the sensation of

feeling hot or cold is not just dependent on air

temperature alone

Name of the speaker, title of the project idea

Wall isolation Anti-condensation

Project idea description

• Operative temperature To is defined as an uniform temperature of a

radiantly black enclosure in which an occupant would exchange the

same amount of heat by radiation plus convection as in the actual

non-uniform environment [1]

Building heating systems

1.ASHRAE Terminology, ASHRAE Handbook CD, 1999-2002

YOUR NAME 3

50% convection 50% radiation

About 50% of energy from a

building heating system is

radiated in the thermal infra-red

region (2.5 to 50 microns range).

Conventional decorative paints

absorb IR Radiations leading to

loss of heat energy

Project idea description

• In design, operative temperature can be defined as the average of

the mean radiant and ambient air temperature: T0 = (Tair + Twall)/2

YOUR NAME 4

Main goals

– Increase thermal inertia of wall and roof by using

paint with low thermal conductivity

• Hollow glass bead and/or ceramic

– Thermal conductivity 0,2 - 0,06 Wm-1K-1

– Low density 0,7 - 0,25 g/cm³

– Size average Ø 12 - 50µm

– Combine with switchable IR – Absorber component

– Multifunctionnality of these paints: • Biosourced, water based

• Anti-humidity, Anti-mould, Anti-condensation

• Electromagnetic isolation

YOUR NAME 5

Expertise/Partners

• Existing Expertise/ Partners already involved

• CoRI: Paint formulation and characterization (rheology,

thermal properties, electromagnetic isolation, …)

• CSTC: Measurement and simulation for thermal properties

of building

• UCL – Unité MEMA: Numerical simulation (Digimat)

Electrochemical measurements

applied to metal based biomaterials

Bilbao Nov. 2012

ERA-NET REGIONAL EVENT

10

Project idea description – Idea

To study the corrosion of metal based biomedical materials

(implants for bone reconstruction,…) using electrochemical

techniques (local, global)

– Main goals

• Biomaterials used as biodegradable medical devices:

control the corrosion rate

• Biomaterials used for protecting medical devices against

corrosion (coatings): understanding the corrosion

resistance through the study of electrochemical properties

• Need to carry out : electrochemical measurements,

mechanical properties measurements, in vivo degradation

and biocompatibility tests.

– Existing Expertise/ Partners already involved

• Expertise in electrochemical measurements to study the

protection of metals and alloys against corrosion.

Project idea description

– Idea

• Provide integrated solution for “Intelligent Decision Support”

– Main goals

• Integrate Belsim’s VALI software with data intelligence layer (e.g.

Alarm systems, simulation scenarios, process optimization, data

analysis, etc.) to guide the user to intelligent business decision

based on reliable data provided by VALI

– Existing Expertise/ Partners already involved

• Belsim is the leading provider of Data Reconciliation solutions

with its in-house software VALI for improved data quality

(measurement errors are removed through rigorous

thermodynamic modelling of processes)

– Target industry sectors

• Oil & gas downstream (refineries) and upstream

(onshore/offshore oil & gas production)

• Power & utilities

Name of the speaker, title of the project idea
