DEMONSTRATION OF INNOVATIVE FIRE PROTECTION COATINGS FOR STEEL STRUCTURES (STEELPROST)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2015,

Current methods to provide fire protection of light steel structures lack performance and has resulted in a decrease in structural steel market share. State-of-the-art intumescent coatings (ICs) is not a robust technology due to extensive coating and drying times, and low fire resistance (FR) values. There have not been any innovative solutions to overcome such problems in the last few years, resu ...

Opening New Markets for SMEs: Intelligent Ice Sensing and De-icing System to Improve Wind Turbine Efficiency in Cold Climates (WINDHEAT)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

Technical limitations constrain the use of wind turbines (WT) in extreme (cold) climates. These arise in Northen (Scandinavia, Scotland) as well as high altitude (Switzerland, south Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Austria) regions in the EU. The main challenge is ice formation on the WT blades which significantly reduces their performance and can ultimately cause shutdown. Power losses related to i ...

INNOVATIVE FIRE PROTECTIVE COATINGS FOR STEEL STRUCTURES (STEELPROST)

Start date: May 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2012,

Current methods to provide fire protection of light steel structures include the nowadays most efficient approach of intumescent paints, which are typically applied on-site on a mounted structure using brushes or spray guns. Such treatments are generally achieved through the preparation of the surface by grit/shot blasting, followed by the application of a primer, and followed by the application o ...
