Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

Abstract (eng):Miniaturisation - is the key word in technology today and the general trend in all industries is to seek for smaller and compact electrical and magnetic components.
With the increase in energy density, the loss density does too, and so does the need to achieve greater measurement accuracy of device losses.
Calorimeters are the way to accomplish this effectively, as proven by the prevailing calorimetric watt-meters for electrical systems.
The undertaking of this thesis work was to build a simple yet accurate calorimetric system to measure power losses in highly efficient power converters and similar small devices belonging to a power class of <1 kW.
An improved closed, water cooled calorimeter with flow control and input water temperature control has been implemented, as an alternative to the accepted, yet complicated double jacketed calorimeter.
The balance tests with the calorimeter yielded the calibration curve, which was followed by the actual test with a 0.75 kW frequency converter.
From the power losses measured by the calorimeter, the tested device was confirmed to have a high efficiency of 97%.
The calorimeter that was built is characterised by low flow rates and can measure loss powers in range of 25 W - 520 W with an accuracy better than 1.5% for power losses <50 W.
