The development of a prototype Phase Change Material (PCM) storage tank necessitated the implementation of a comprehensive temperature monitoring system to ensure precise spatial temperature measurement across different sections of the tank. To achieve this, a distributed temperature sensing network was designed using Dallas DS18B20 digital temperature sensors, selected for their compatibility with OneWire communication and ease of serial installation. <\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tread more \u00bb\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t

Another outcome of the collaboration between VSB-TUO and the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft is the NewHeatIntegrated project. This initiative focuses on advancements in thermal energy storage and involves a collaboration between experts from Fraunhofer ICT, Fraunhofer IWU, the University of Vaasa, BME, nollaE Oy, the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (FEECS), and the Faculty of Civil Engineering at VSB-TUO. In an interview, Ji\u0159\u00ed Koziorek, Head of the Department of Cybernetics and Biomedical Engineering at FEECS, reveals how this collaboration came about and what they aim to achieve with this project.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tread more \u00bb\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
