Performance testing of active thermosiphon beams

With the recent energy shortage issues, there is greater commitment to protect the environment and reduce energy consumption. Conventional Heating, Ventilation and Air-Condition (HVAC) system uses Variable Air Volume (VAV) which requires a substantial amount of energy. Therefore, in recent years, th...
