MXene-enhanced epoxy promises safer, more durable industrial applications

Two-component epoxies, which require mixing resin and curing agent before use, often suffer from issues such as mixing ratio errors, limited working times, and inconsistent curing. Additionally, they must be used immediately after mixing, leading to wasted residue. To address these challenges, one-component epoxies have gained attention. One-component epoxies come pre-mixed, making them easy to use, reducing processing time, and ensuring consistent quality without mixing. In particular, using latent curing agents allows curing to be triggered only under specific conditions (e.g., heat or UV exposure), significantly improving storage stability. However, conventional one-component epoxies are only stable at room temperature (below 25°C), limiting their storage under high-temperature conditions and making them prone to fire hazards.

The Forbidden Garden of Leningrad by Simon Parkin

This fascinating history of Nikolai Vavilov and the staff at his plant institute tells a story of almost unbelievable self-sacrifice while under siege during the second world war

Is there any human endeavour as heroic or under-appreciated as plant collecting? When in 1921, at the age of 33, Nikolai Vavilov arrived in Petrograd (now St Petersburg) to take charge of the bureau of applied botany and plant breeding, he found a city racked by hunger. War followed by civil conflict had crippled Russia’s food production and distribution systems – a situation compounded by the seizure of peasants’ grain stores by the Bolsheviks – and Petrograd, once the cradle of the Russian empire, had been transformed into a graveyard. Walking along Nevsky Prospekt, Vavilov was appalled to see starving citizens queueing for mouldy bread. “Westward the sun is dropping,” observed the poet Anna Akhmatova, “and already death is chalking the doors with crosses.”

On entering the bureau, Vavilov was even more dismayed to find the heating pipes had burst and the storage units containing nearly 14,000 varieties of wheat, barley, oat and rye collected by his predecessor had been eaten by famished staff. It was, recorded a member of Vavilov’s team, “a picture of almost complete destruction”.

Yet by 1940, Vavilov had secured new premises in a former tsarist palace in the centre of the city and had amassed the largest collection of seeds in the world. It was a collection brimming with “latent life”, writes Simon Parkin in his riveting account of Vavilov’s plant institute, “a Noah’s Ark of plant matter”. Once cultivated and harvested, the seeds contained sufficient genetic material to feed not only the citizens of Leningrad, as the city had been renamed following Lenin’s death in 1924, but the entire population of the Soviet Union. In the process, Vavilov, a tireless polyglot, would become the most celebrated botanist in the world, feted by scientists from Edinburgh to New York. All the more extraordinary, then, that today he is all but forgotten, a victim of the Soviet state’s desire to erase memories of the siege and the millions who perished in the Nazi onslaught.

Karl Marx wrote that “history repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce”. The tragedy is that having amassed a collection with the potential to banish famine, Vavilov was arrested on the eve of war and branded “an enemy of the people”. In this, he appears to have been a victim of a bitter struggle with the peasant-agronomist Trofim Lysenko, who had rejected Mendelian genetics for Lamarckism – the idea that plants and other organisms acquire superior traits from their environments rather than from inherited genetic material. Lysenko believed that through a combination of agronomical knowhow and political will, these traits could be passed down to future generations – a theory that Stalin found appealing.

The result was that when in July 1941, the Soviet authorities began fortifying Leningrad in preparation for the German siege and evacuated precious artworks from the Hermitage, Vavilov’s collection was ignored, though whether this was deliberate or a bureaucratic oversight, Parkin cannot say. What he shows, brilliantly, is how the farce of the seeds’ non-evacuation nearly ended in a second tragedy as Vavilov’s colleagues fought to preserve the collection from raids by starving citizens and their own gnawing hunger. Incredibly, of the 250,000 seeds that Vavilov had amassed at the outbreak of war, the majority survived and by 1967, 100m acres of Russian agricultural land had been planted with material from the institute’s collection. Not only that, but wheat collected by Vavilov in Spain, Japan, Italy and Argentina was crossbred to create high-yielding winter varieties, while potatoes from Bolivia were used to breed hybrids resistant to disease. Today, 90% of the seeds and planted crops in the institute’s collection are found in no other in the world.

Writing in 1737, Carl Linnaeus, the father of modern taxonomy, observed: “When I consider the melancholy fate of so many of botany’s votaries, I am tempted to ask whether men are in their right mind who so desperately risk life and everything else through the love of collecting’ plants.” Imprisoned for the duration of the war, Vavilov would never return to his beloved institute and died of hunger in 1943 at a prison in western Russia. Afterwards, ashamed of their persecution of the world-renowned botanist, the authorities destroyed Vavilov’s case file and did their best to discourage journalists from writing about his achievements. The result was that it was not until the late 1970s that Vavilov’s story and the fate of his employees became more widely known. Even so, Parkin’s is the first book to have been published on the subject outside Russia.

To recreate the story, the author has drawn on the institute’s archives and the diaries and letters of the two-dozen staff to whom it fell to guard the collection during the near-900-day siege, one of the longest of any city in history. In the process, he restores Vavilov and his scientific colleagues to their rightful places in the pantheon of Soviet heroes. But perhaps Parkin’s biggest achievement is to explain how the botanists who sat out the siege resisted the temptation to consume the collection. Instead, he details how they defended the seed bank from looters and braved German bombs to plant potatoes at a field station on the perimeter of the city, thereby ensuring they would produce new tubers that could be stored and preserved for the following year.

In the process, 19 staff died, most of them of starvation while surrounded by containers that could have saved their lives. In this they were guided by the conviction that many of the samples were irreplaceable because of the loss of natural habitats from which they had been collected and that they could contain unrecognised genetic qualities. Their resolve was also a product of their loyalty to Vavilov and their belief in the importance of the scientific endeavour. As one survivor told Parkin: “It was impossible to eat [the collection], for what was involved was the cause of your life, the cause of your comrades’ lives.” Astonishingly, this resolve held despite an explicit order from Moscow to “spare nothing” to save the lives of their fellow citizens.

Although Parkin has done a remarkable job of resurrecting the story of this “forbidden garden”, he admits to frustration that his efforts “could not transport me to the white-hot centre of the story”. It is a frustration this reader shares. Despite a wealth of information about the siege, the thoughts, feelings and cravings of Vavilov’s staff remain tantalisingly out of reach. Instead, Parkin ends on a deflationary note, admitting he has no answer to the question of whether in opting to sacrifice the lives of people in the present for the benefit of future generations, the botanists made the correct moral choice.

A group of scientists led by Kongu Engineering College in India investigated the use of waste neem oil as a cooling solution for PV modules. Neem oil is extracted from the seeds of the neem tree and is commonly used as a medicine for some skin diseases.

The researchers explained that this oil acts like phase-changing materials (PCMs), which can absorb, store, and release large amounts of latent heat over defined temperature ranges. PCMs have often been used at the research level for PV module cooling and the storage of heat.

“The neem oil has a good thermal range, is physically high in density, is chemically stable and noncorrosive, is environmentally pollution-free, reusable, and recyclable, and is economically low-cost and easy to dispose of,” they added. “Commonly, any PCM used for cooling purposes should have low thermal conductivity, stability, and cycling. The neem oil has fulfilled all the limitations.”

On March 27th 1923, Sir James Dewar, the inventor of the vacuum flask, died.

Dewar is probably best known today for his invention of the vacuum flask, which he used in conjunction with extensive research into the liquefaction of gases. He was also particularly interested in atomic and molecular spectroscopy, working in these fields for more than 25 years.

His name is most widely known in connection with his work on the liquefaction of the so-called permanent gases and his researches at temperatures approaching absolute zero. His interest in this branch of physics and chemistry dates back at least as far as 1874, when he discussed the “Latent Heat of Liquid Gases” before the British Association.

About 1892, the idea occurred to him of using vacuum-jacketed vessels for the storage of liquid gases. The Dewar flask (otherwise known as a Thermos or vacuum flask) was the invention for which he became famous for inventing. The vacuum flask was so efficient at keeping heat out, it was found possible to preserve the liquids for comparatively long periods, making examination of their optical properties possible. Dewar did not profit from the widespread adoption of his vacuum flask as he lost a court case against Thermos concerning the patent for his invention. While Dewar was recognised as the inventor, because he did not patent his invention, he was unable to stop Thermos from using the design

A Guide to Understanding the Design and Applications of the Box Type Condenser: An Exploration

The box-type condensers are very essential in the thermal management of various industrial and commercial applications, wherein they are simply referred to as box-type condensers or merely condensers in HVAC systems. Let's find out the features and uses of box-type condensers and why they are important for HVAC systems.

What are box-type Type Condensers? Box-type condensers are modules in air conditioning and refrigeration systems used to abbreviate refrigerant vapor into liquid. They got the name "box type" because of their normally enclosed, small design that wraps up all the parts requisite for concentration and heat exchangers.  

How do they function? Heat Exchanger: Box-type condensers work with the principle of heat exchanger. The hot refrigerant vapor from the compressor enters the condenser coils in the box-type unit. Condensation: Depending on the condenser type, heat is lost by the refrigerant vapor while it is traveling through coils and abbreviating into liquid form. Cooling: During condensation, latent heat from the refrigerant is given out and dissipated through the fins or tubes into the condenser. As a result, the refrigerant can be cooled again and set up to start the cycle. Key Features and Components Coils: Inside the condenser box, these are normally copper or aluminum and effectively conduct the heat from the refrigerant to the surrounding medium. Fans of Water Flow: In an air-cooled system, box condensers are fitted with fans that force the ambient air over the coils, while in a water system, they are cooled by having the water flow through the coils. Enclosure: The process guides air or water flow via the condenser coils in a box-type condenser and ensures the enclosure protects all the interior components and promotes effective heat exchanger performance. Applications Box-type condensers for integral components in many HVAC applications include commercial refrigeration. Low-temperature refrigeration systems are used in supermarkets, restaurants, and cold storage facilities.  Air conditioning systems form a huge part of domestic and commercial air conditioners, which help make indoor temperatures bearable by extracting heat. It finds applications in chemical processing and manufacturing facilities, and industrial cooling is used where exact temperature control is required in processes. Heat Pumps: Box-type condensers play a crucial role in heat pumps by facilitating the transfer of heat between different environments. Considerations When choosing or maintaining box-type condensers, considerations include: Ensure that the size and capacity suit the air conditioning or refrigeration system in which it is installed. Maintenance: Cleanliness of coils and fans should be ensured to gain maximum heat transfer efficiency and extend the life of the condenser. Environmental Factors: This condenser will work best considering the outside variables like humidity and ambient temperature. Conclusion Box-type condensers have uppermost importance in every HVAC system; in their absence, no effective heat transfer and standard functioning of the air conditioning or refrigeration systems could be sought. Notwithstanding their small size, their efficient heat exchanger properties make them perfect in service for innumerable uses in different sectors of the economy. By selecting the appropriate condenser regarding the requirements and understanding of how it works, a guarantee is given for full, reliable, and efficient operation of the thermal management systems.

Battery pack cooling methods

1. Air cooling

Air cooling uses air as a heat transfer medium and is divided into two methods: passive air cooling and active air cooling. Passive air cooling directly uses external air for heat exchange, has a simple structure, and is low in cost, but has limited cooling effect. Active air cooling pre-processes external air before it enters the battery system, such as heating or cooling, to improve cooling efficiency. However, the thermal conductivity of air cooling is low, and it is difficult to meet the thermal management requirements of high energy density batteries.

2. Liquid cooling

Liquid cooling uses coolant as a heat transfer medium, which is usually circulated in the battery pack through a pump and piping system. According to the contact method, liquid cooling can be divided into direct contact and indirect contact. Direct contact directly immerses the battery pack in the coolant, while indirect contact arranges cooling pipes or jackets between battery modules. Liquid cooling has the advantages of high cooling efficiency and good temperature uniformity, but it has high requirements for the sealing of the system and increases the complexity and weight of the system.

3. Heat pipe cooling

Heat pipe cooling uses the latent heat of phase change materials during evaporation and condensation to transfer heat. The heat pipe consists of an evaporation section, an insulation section, and a condensation section, which can quickly conduct heat and achieve efficient cooling. However, the heat pipe has a complex structure, high manufacturing cost, and the heat transfer performance may decrease after long-term use. It has not yet been widely used in battery thermal management systems.

4. Phase change material cooling

Phase change material (PCM) absorbs or releases a large amount of heat by changing its physical state within a specific temperature range. When PCM is applied to a battery thermal management system, it can absorb heat and reduce the battery temperature when the battery temperature rises. However, PCM has a low thermal conductivity and may have a risk of leakage. It needs to be used in combination with other cooling methods to improve the cooling effect.

5. Immersion cooling

Immersion cooling directly immerses the battery in the coolant, which has the advantages of simple structure, rapid cooling, and good temperature uniformity. Compared with traditional indirect liquid cooling, air cooling, and phase change cooling, immersion cooling shows good application prospects in the thermal management of high power density batteries.

Effective battery pack cooling technology is essential to improve battery performance, extend service life, and ensure safety. As battery energy density and charge and discharge rates increase, a single cooling method is difficult to meet the demand, and composite cooling technology shows broad application prospects. Future research should focus on developing efficient, lightweight, and cost-controlled cooling systems to adapt to the rapid development of electric vehicles and energy storage systems.

Winter-Proof Your Hot Water Supply With Heat Pumps

Many homeowners are struggling to maintain a reliable hot water supply now that winters have arrived. Gas or electric water heaters may be inefficient, particularly in colder climates, and traditional water heaters may find it difficult to meet rising demand. Thankfully, heat pumps are the best option for winters as they offer a steady supply of hot water, while also maximizing energy economy. Let’s discuss below how heat pumps function in colder climates, how to winter-proof your hot water supply, and how to maximize their effectiveness during the winters.

How heat pumps work during winters

It is untrue to say that heat pumps are only effective in warm climates. Even though heat pump efficiency somewhat declines with decreasing temperatures, contemporary systems are prepared to withstand cold weather. Because they use heat from the surrounding air to heat water, they can also work in colder climates by drawing latent heat from the atmosphere, thus bringing about reliable hot water supply along with energy efficiency. Heat pumps are thus a good year-round option for water heating as they can still extract heat from the outside air during the colder months. At lower temperatures, the refrigerant in the system can absorb and transfer heat. A lot of heat pump models are made to work in temperatures as low as -15°C (5°F). Some even include features like defrost cycles, which provide a steady and dependable supply of hot water throughout the winters.

The efficiency of heat pumps during cold weather

The efficiency of heat pumps is one of their primary benefits. Heat pumps only transfer heat from one location to another, in contrast to traditional water heaters that produce heat by burning fuel or utilizing electricity. With some models generating up to four times as much energy as they require, this technique is noticeably more energy-efficient. Heat pumps still consume less energy than traditional systems. Even at low temperatures, modern systems are built to maintain a high coefficient of performance (COP). A heat pump can generate several units of heat for each unit of electricity used, hence the COP provides a gauge of the system’s efficiency. To put this into perspective, a heat pump that runs in the winter can still have a COP of two or three, which means that it generates two to three times as much energy as it uses. Compared to electric resistance heaters, which often run at a COP of 1, this is still a significant gain.

Tips for maximizing heat pump efficiency in winter

Even though heat pumps are made to operate in colder climates, homeowners can take a few precautions to guarantee peak efficiency and performance throughout the winter. These useful pointers will help you get the most out of your heat pump when the weather drops.

Optimize the placement: The effectiveness of your heat pump is strongly influenced by its placement. Make sure your heat pump is positioned to capture as much ambient heat as possible in order to get the most out of it throughout the winter months. Since strong winds might reduce the effectiveness of heat extraction, the unit should ideally be positioned in a well-ventilated region. The outdoor unit should ideally be placed away from places where ice or snow buildup could obstruct airflow, causing frost buildup and decreased efficiency. Maintaining adequate clearance around the unit aids in the system’s ability to continue heating throughout the winter.

Insulate the pipes and tanks: Insulate your storage tanks and hot water pipes to prevent heat loss. Given the lower outside temperatures throughout the winter, this is particularly crucial. Insulation lowers the burden on the heat pump and increases overall energy efficiency by assisting in maintaining the water temperature. Furthermore, confirm that the tank temperature is adjusted to its ideal setting. Setting it too low could result in an inadequate supply of hot water, while setting it too high will waste energy.

Use a timer and smart controls: Energy usage can be reduced by employing smart controls or installing a timer. Numerous heat pump systems have built-in timers and controls that let you plan hot water heating only when it’s needed, saving energy during off-peak hours. You can optimize the heating hours and make sure hot water is available when you need it without the system having to work overtime during periods of low demand by coordinating your heat pump with your household’s routine.

Opt for regular maintenance and cleaning: Heat pumps need routine maintenance to function effectively, just like any other heating equipment. Problems like accumulated dirt, frozen coils, and clogged air filters can be made worse by winter conditions. To guarantee ideal airflow and avoid frost accumulation, check and clean the outdoor unit on a regular basis. Ice may accumulate on the exterior coil of the heat pump throughout the winter. To avoid ice buildup, make sure the defrost cycle is operating correctly. Even though many contemporary heat pumps have automated defrost features, routine maintenance and inspection are still essential to the system’s proper operation.

Choosing the right heat pump for the winters

It’s crucial to pick a heat pump model that can withstand low temperatures when choosing one for colder climates or the winter months. Heat pumps are not all made equal. Numerous manufacturers provide systems with features like variable speed compressors, improved defrost cycles, and more. Consult a reliable specialist to determine the best option for your requirements, and take pleasure in a cozy and warm winter with little effect on the environment. Vindsol’s domestic heat pump in Bangalore is the ideal choice that is made to function best in colder locations, guaranteeing dependable hot water and lower energy usage throughout the winter.

Winter-proofing your hot water supply with a heat pump is a practical and economical way to deal with the colder months. In addition to providing reliable hot water – even in subfreezing temperatures – these systems can lower your home’s carbon footprint while lowering your energy bills.

Peak Shifting: A Smart Way to Save Energy in Cold Storage, HVAC, and Data Centers

Introduction Energy costs are a big concern for industries like cold storage, HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning), and data centers, which require a continuous supply of power to function effectively. These sectors often face high electricity bills, especially during peak hours, when energy demand is at its highest. To combat these rising costs and improve energy efficiency, many companies are turning to a concept called peak shifting. One technology that makes peak shifting possible is Phase Change Materials (PCMs), which are revolutionizing the way energy is stored and used.

In this blog, we’ll explore what peak shifting is, how it can benefit cold storage, HVAC systems, and data centers, and how Tan90’s PCMs—specifically designed to operate at 0°C and -24°C—play a critical role in this energy-saving strategy.

What is Peak Shifting?

Peak shifting is an energy management strategy that involves shifting electricity usage from periods of high demand (known as peak hours) to times when the demand is lower (off-peak hours). Peak hours typically occur during the day, when businesses and households are using the most power. Because energy is more expensive during these times, shifting the demand to off-peak hours can lead to significant cost savings.

For example, instead of running energy-intensive cooling systems during peak hours, businesses can store the cooling energy during off-peak times and use that stored energy during peak hours. This helps balance electricity usage and avoid higher rates charged during peak periods.

Why Peak Shifting is Important for Cold Storage, HVAC, and Data Centers

Industries like cold storage, HVAC, and data centers require round-the-clock cooling, making them large consumers of electricity. Let’s take a closer look at how each of these industries can benefit from peak shifting:

Cold Storage: Cold storage facilities must maintain consistent, low temperatures to prevent spoilage of food, pharmaceuticals, and other perishable goods. Operating refrigeration systems during peak hours is costly. Peak shifting allows cold storage facilities to use PCMs to freeze cooling energy during off-peak hours and release that energy to maintain low temperatures during peak hours, reducing energy costs without compromising product safety.

HVAC Systems: In commercial and residential buildings, HVAC systems regulate temperature, air quality, and humidity. These systems consume a lot of energy, particularly during peak demand times when cooling needs are highest. Peak shifting allows HVAC systems to cool PCMs during off-peak times and use that stored energy during peak hours. This reduces electricity consumption during the day while keeping the indoor environment comfortable.

Data Centers: Data centers are critical to the operation of businesses worldwide, as they store vast amounts of data and require significant cooling to prevent overheating. Running cooling systems continuously can result in high electricity bills, especially during peak hours. By utilizing peak shifting with PCMs, data centers can store cooling energy during off-peak periods and release it during peak hours, keeping server rooms cool without excessive energy use.

The Role of PCMs in Peak Shifting

Phase Change Materials (PCMs) are substances that absorb and release large amounts of heat as they change from one phase to another (for example, from solid to liquid). This ability to store and release thermal energy makes them perfect for peak shifting. PCMs can freeze or melt at specific temperatures, making them ideal for energy storage in cold storage, HVAC systems, and data centers.

Here’s how they work:

During Off-Peak Hours: The PCM is cooled or frozen using the lower-cost electricity available during off-peak times. This stores energy in the form of latent heat.

During Peak Hours: As the temperature rises, the PCM slowly melts, releasing the stored energy and providing the necessary cooling without drawing power from the grid.

This process helps industries maintain stable temperatures and cooling capacity during high-demand periods, significantly reducing energy costs.

Tan90’s PCM Solutions for Peak Shifting

Tan90 offers specialized PCMs designed for peak shifting in various industries. Two of the key products are PCMs that operate at 0°C and -24°C.

0°C PCM

This PCM is ideal for industries that need to maintain temperatures around the freezing point, such as cold storage for food products, medical supplies, and other perishables. During off-peak hours, the PCM freezes, storing energy. During peak hours, it melts, releasing the stored energy to maintain the required low temperatures. This significantly reduces the need for active cooling systems to run during high-cost times.

For example, in a cold storage facility that houses fruits and vegetables, which need to be kept just above freezing, Tan90’s 0°C PCM can store the cooling energy during the night (off-peak) and release it throughout the day (peak hours), ensuring a stable environment for the produce without relying heavily on electricity during peak hours.

-24°C PCM

This PCM is used in deeper freezing applications, such as frozen food storage or pharmaceutical cold chains. At -24°C, this PCM is ideal for products that need to be kept at sub-zero temperatures. It can freeze during off-peak times, storing energy, and then melt during peak hours, providing consistent cooling. This allows for significant energy savings in industries where maintaining freezing temperatures is critical.

In pharmaceutical cold chains, for example, vaccines or biologics need to be kept at extremely low temperatures. Tan90’s -24°C PCM can store cooling energy during the night and release it during the day, reducing the need for constant refrigeration and saving on energy costs.

Advantages of Using PCMs for Peak Shifting

Cost Savings: One of the biggest advantages of peak shifting with PCMs is the reduction in electricity costs. By storing cooling energy during off-peak hours when rates are lower, businesses can avoid using expensive peak-hour electricity.

Energy Efficiency: PCMs improve the overall energy efficiency of cooling systems. By utilizing stored energy, less electricity is required during peak hours, which reduces the load on the grid and lowers overall energy consumption.

Sustainability: Reducing peak-hour energy consumption is not only cost-effective but also environmentally friendly. By using energy more efficiently and reducing reliance on electricity during peak times, businesses can lower their carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future.

Temperature Stability: PCMs help maintain consistent temperatures, which is critical for industries like cold storage and data centers. This ensures that products like food and pharmaceuticals remain safe, and data centers avoid costly downtime due to overheating.

Tan90’s PCM in Shipping: A Real-World Application

PCMs are not just useful for stationary systems like cold storage, HVAC, and data centers; they are also vital in the logistics and shipping industries. During the transportation of temperature-sensitive goods, such as vaccines, Tan90’s PCMs are used in insulated shipping containers to maintain stable temperatures throughout the journey.

The PCM freezes before shipment and then melts during transit, providing consistent cooling without the need for active refrigeration. This method is not only cost-effective but also ensures the safe delivery of products that require strict temperature control.
