About Us
The organization chart is given on the page.
As it is known, development of technology and product only is not sufficient in
the competitive atmosphere of today. It is clear that the developed product and/or
technology gains value in the hand of the customers. If this process is not planned
preliminarily, it will be inevitable for the technology we have developed to fall into
the Death Valley and disappear without the realization of their commercialization, as
happened to many other developed technologies. In order to prevent this, feasibility
studies are conducted prior to commencement of each project and business models
are developed if necessary, and the customer is even included in the project according
to the nature of the project.

To be able to do them, the Strategy and Business Development Department and


Technology Sales and Marketing Department were established within Mir Araştırma
ve Geliştirme A.Ş. These units that act directly under the General Management
carry out the works of market innovation, development of business models, market
researches, corporate identity works, and technology sales works.

About Us

On the other hand, as identified below, Mir Araştırma ve Geliştirme A.Ş.


realizes the real scale production and pre-serial production stages within
its own structure for the purpose of commercialization of its technologies
it has developed, in more efficient manner. Thanks to this, it is ensured that
the technology proves its capability, that the required improvements can be
conducted during the production, and that all the technical documents that
can be needed by the customers can be created.

In addition, Mir Araştırma ve Geliştirme A.Ş. conducts the initial sales to


a focus group and scrutinizes the market performance of the products.
Accordingly, most of the times, Mir Holding is the first actual investor of
all the technologies that prove themselves. If the Holding does not make the
investment, Mir Araştırma ve Geliştirme A.Ş. commercializes such outputs
by establishing or causing to be established a spin-off company. Thanks to
this, 100% introduction of the developed technologies on the market can be
modeled. Introduction of the projects, technologies, and/or products to the
customers without falling into the Death Valley is realized through this model
established effectively.

About Us

In the event of absence of such an industrialization process, it is very


difficult for the developed products to overcome the Death Valley Problems.
Hence, only one of every ten technologies developed in the world can be
industrialized. This is highly low ratio and our country does not have such
luxury. New models and support mechanisms are needed for overcoming the
Death Valley. Mir Araştırma ve Geliştirme A.Ş. has solved the mentioned
problem to a substantial extent thanks to this approach.

Laboratory
The laboratory infrastructures where the studies conducted on the energy technologies, one of the strategic areas of the Holding, are carried out
are available. Most important one among them is the Building Energy Simulation laboratory. In this laboratory, following studies can be conducted.

• With the multipurpose test room, it is possible to conduct the thermal performance and efficiency tests of the various heating-cooling systems.

• Test room consists of an inner section and four different outdoor sections where the environmental conditions can be simulated.

• In the outdoor sections that can be conditioned in a controlled manner, desired temperature, moisture, and wind speed values are set and the
regional outside climate conditions can be obtained.

• Within the test room, local and general thermal comfort conditions are scrutinized in accordance with the ISO 7730 and ASHRAE 55 standards.

• In addition, while it is possible to model the location of a building in a test room, it is also possible to simulate the structure of a human who carries
out different activities and has different characteristics.

The laboratory Properties:


• Four different environmental volumes are controlled sensitively in the ranges of (-15°C ~ + 45°C)
temperature, (10% - 90%), relative humidity and (0-5 m/s) air speed

Our Infrastructures

The test room consists of the room where the experiments are conducted in the center and
4 different volumes surrounding the room. In these volumes, climate conditions to which a
location can be subject are modeled. In these volumes where neighboring locations, unheated
volume, roof, soil ground, outside climate conditions can be modeled, it is also possible to
conduct the measurement and wind controls. The heat transfer coefficient of the wall elements
of the test room were selected as to correspond to the U value of an average building. When
determining this value, the heat transfer coefficients that the heating areas in Turkey must have
pursuant to the TS 825 Standard were taken into account.

About The Section Where The Experiments Are Conducted


LEXRAD is the department where the surface heating-cooling system is present and the
experiments are conducted. The sizes of the room are 4,0 m (width) x 4,0 m (length) x 3,0 m
(height). In the test room, it is possible conduct in high sensitivity the air temperature, surface
temperature, dew point temperature, relative humidity, air speed, and volume flow measurements
as well as temperature distributions of the surfaces with a thermal camera. In the test room,
thermal comfort measurement can also be conducted.
In the case of cooling, the dew point temperature is a significant parameter. In order not to allow
for condensation on the surfaces, the surface temperature must not fall below the dew point
temperature. Hence, the dew point temperature is controlled within the room.

The values measured are recorded in the PXI in the time range determined to be analyzed.
In PXI, it is possible to control via LabVIEW software the climate conditions in the volumes
surrounding the test room (temperature, moisture, wind) and to control the volume flow to be
sent to the panels and temperature within the room automatically.

Thermal cameras are used to view the temperature distribution of any area within the room or
on the panel.

A thermal comfort device positioned right at the center of the room and having its own data
collector is used to measure the thermal comfort value.

113
114
Industrial Solutions Partner

Our Infrastructures

The parameters measured in the thermal comfort device are as follows:


• Air temperature
• Surface Temperature
• Radiant Temperature Asymmetry
• Moisture
• Air speed
• Operating temperature
• Dry heat loss
• Globe wet thermometer temperature

It is possible to record the following parameters momentously thanks to the software in the data collector.
• PMV
• PPD
• Load ratio
• Turbulence intensity
• Most appropriate operating temperature
• Equivalent temperature
• Effective Temperature
• Required perspiration ratio
• Globe wet thermometer temperature
While testing the thermal performances of the heating-cooling panels from the surface,
international standards are used in terms of test method and assessment.

These are;
• TS EN 1264 – Ground Heating- Cooling
• TS EN 14037- Ceiling Heating
• TS EN 14240 - Ceiling Cooling
• BS EN 15377 – Surface Heating and Cooling (ground, wall, ceiling)
• ASHRAE 55 – Thermal Comfort
• ISO 7730 – Thermal Comfort

In the thermal performance tests, the heating and cooling loads to which the room becomes
exposed are provided from the external volumes and the tests of the panels mounted within the
room are conducted. As, during the cooling tests, the heat loads mainly result from the electronic
devices, furniture, and people within the room, the tools referred to as dummy and simulating
the thermal load applied are used within the room in accordance with the respective standards.
During the tests, the volume flow to the panels and the outer environmental conditions are kept
in a fixed value and the measurement tools that have been calibrated and determined in terms of
their uncertainties are used in all the tests. The tests are conducted between the 2-5% uncertainty
range.

Dizayn condensing combi boiler produces 20% lesser CO2 and 75% lesser NOx compared with other
combi boiler products thanks to its high condensation output. By the adjustment of the burning air
according to the flow of gas, it eliminates the losses that might result from excess air. In the classical
combi boilers, 10 to 12% efficiency loss takes place because of the excess air in the partial loads.
