Predictive Maintenance: Leveraging Hybrid LSTM-CNN Architectures for Enhanced Performance by El Sadeek, Kamal Mohamed

“…In conclusion, the thesis establishes that hybrid CNN-LSTM models, especially in parallel configuration, offer a robust and scalable solution for predictive maintenance. The integration of optimization techniques further refines performance on simpler datasets, while architecture remains the critical factor for success in complex environments. …”

Energy efficiency control of direct expansion air conditioning systems

“…In addition, in this chapter, the volumes of outside air allowed to enter the DX A/C system are regarded as varying with the changing circumstance over a day and are optimized by the AHC. Moreover, a supply fan to steer the pressure swing absorption with a built-in proportional-integral (PI) controller is proposed to lower the indoor CO2 concentration such that it would reduce the complexity of computation for the AHC and the cost of hardware. …”

A prototype dynamic model for the co-treatment of a high strength simple-organic industrial effluent and coal-mine drainage by Harding, Theodor

“…Two bench-scale 5-litre CSTR-BSR and a 20-litre BSR-GL system were operated, under varying feed COD concentrations and hydraulic retention times (HRTs), to generate datasets for use in verification and a rudimentary validation of the prototype model. The BSR-GL integrated system includes 1) a 1-litre H2S gas reactive absorption (ABS) unit utilising an aqueous ferric solution for the recovery of elemental sulfur (S0 ) from sulfide and 2) ferrous biological oxidation reactor to regenerate ferric from the ferrous for re-supply to the ABS unit. …”
