Cooling Concepts in Power Electronics
Hőhn, Matěj ; Súkeník, Jakub (referee) ; Toman, Marek (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with cooling concepts in power electronics and experimental measurements of thermal resistances in two different fan-cooled heat sink samples. In the first part of the thesis, calculations of losses in semiconductor switching devices are described. These are losses due to current conduction and switching between operating states. Then the basics of heat transfer theory such as conduction transfer, convection transfer, radiation transfer, and thermal-electrical analogy are described. In the third section, the procedure for calculating the required thermal resistance of the heat sink is described. Then, cooling concepts in power electronics are described, which include basic types of heat sinks, fan-cooled cooling and its operating characteristics, heat pipes, thermoelectric cooling and the use of liquid systems, such as cold plates and boiling liquid cooling. The last part of the thesis describes the preparation of a laboratory workstation for measuring the thermal resistance of two different fan-cooled coolers and comparing the measured results.

Sleep quality depending on room environment
Veličková, Kateřina ; Pokorný, Jan (referee) ; Fišer, Jan (advisor)
The aim of this diploma thesis was to determine the thermal resistance of selected sleep assemblies (clothing, mattress, blanket, pillow) using measurements with a thermal manikin and subsequently to determine the appropriate ambient temperatures at which a balanced thermal equilibrium between the sleeping person and their environment would be maintained. Four different assemblies were selected for measurement purposes, differing in the type of blanket used (summer blanket, quilt, cover, and no blanket). The influence of the thermal manikin's position on the measured value was also investigated. It was proven that the influence of position on the overall thermal resistance is negligible, with measured values ranging from 1.12 clo (assembly without a blanket in the side position) to 2.05 clo (assembly with a summer blanket in the back position). Subsequently, appropriate ambient temperatures were determined using the PMV model, which ranged from 24.4 °C to 28.6 °C. The two-node model proved to be insufficiently sensitive for the addressed issue, and the heat flux maps derived from the equivalent temperature model were not calibrated for sleep but for mild activity while seated. Nevertheless, they provided interesting information about the perception of thermal comfort in different parts of the body.

Study of the thermal insulation effect of thermally reflective insulations
Skříček, Darek ; Vala, Jiří (referee) ; Čermák, Jan (referee) ; Šťastník, Stanislav (advisor)
The dissertation on the topic Study of the thermal insulation effect of thermally reflective insulations is focused on the issue of measuring the thermal resistance R of thermoreflective insulations and determining the most suitable layer with the best thermal insulation properties. By measuring thermoreflective insulations on the Hot-Box measuring chamber, it was proven that higher values of thermal resistance R are always achieved with aluminum foil, which has the highest possible reflection of the radiant component of heat, i.e. the lowest possible emissivity on the surface. For this reason, the reflectance was measured on the Mid-IR Integrat IR ™ measuring apparatus. To study the thermal insulation effect of thermoreflective insulations, ten samples of these insulations with different compositions of aluminum and bubble foils are used to measure the insulation properties. The suitability of using thermoreflective insulation for building insulation was proven by measuring these foils.

Holeček, Dominik ; Skříček, Darek (referee) ; Šťastník, Stanislav (advisor)
The diploma thesis is partly dedicated to energetic efficiency of buildings and describes possibilities how to evaluate energetic efficiency of buildings in the Czech Republic. We also get to know with distribution of thermal insulators by material base and use in construction. There are also mentioned methods how to determine thermal insulations characteristics of heat insulations, so called heat conductivity coefficient. The last and the crucial chapter of theoretic part is dedicated to thermal-reflective insulations. There are mentioned some of the basic characteristics of insulations, material composition and heat transfer mechanism in their structure as well. Practical part describes measurement of thermal resistance of chosen samples of thermal-reflective insulations per measuring device on the principal of Hot Box method. In the next step was determined emissivity of aluminium foils which forms the surface of chosen samples of thermal-reflective insulations. In the end of thesis are defined possibilities of use thermal-reflective insulations in building structures especially in passive and low-energy buildings in climatic conditions of the Czech Republic.

Operational Parameters of LED and their Modelling
Pavelka, Tomáš ; Novák,, Tomáš (referee) ; Gašparovský, Dionýz (referee) ; Baxant, Petr (advisor)
Doctoral thesis deals with parameters of LED light sources and their static and dynamic changes due to variable operational conditions. Firstly there is briefly described the history of light emitting diodes, that brought LED from unintentional observation of luminescence to light source, which is generally used through the whole area of lighting techniques. Thesis focuses on light parameters analysis, which are specific for semiconductor light sources and their mutual relations. These relations in compliance with understanding the principles of light emission in semiconductor light sources enable establishing of basic connections and effects usable for LED behaviour model. Mutual relations of LED parameters and influencing factors are verified by measurement of chosen testing samples. For deeper understanding of diode parameter influencing mechanisms there are analysed current degradation models including degradation of partial components. On the basis of these facts there is created a model of LED luminaire operating with LED parameters together with cooling system that represent the integral part of the luminaire. Impact of supply drivers is also studied, because they are necessary for LED operation. Designed model supports the area of static changes of light parameters, as well as the dynamic changes of output parameters. Presented model is verified by testing measurements at basic operational states and partially outside of the common operational limits. There are also presented the possibilities of real use of the model that involve the evaluation of designed luminaire for specific light sources, searching for optimal operational limits, optimization of luminaire heatsink or using public lighting systems for regulation of electricity grid load fluctuations.
