In this paper, we propose human detection and fuzzy temperature control system for energy reduction of cooling device in elevator. In order to improve problems of existing cooling device using the refrigerant, energy reduction and efficient management are continuously achieved because of operation of thermoelectric cooling device using the human detection and fuzzy temperature control system. The proposed system confirms the number of passengers in elevator and temperature is then controlled by those numbers and an average temperature for the season in fuzzy system. The human detection method scans the number of passengers using a head part as a feature based on bird's-eye view camera in elevator. The fuzzy system determines elevator internal temperature considering atmospheric temperature and the scanned passenger numbers as a look-up table. The proposed system reduces energy of the cooling device through the human detection and temperature control. In experiment, energy reduction is confirmed and the performance of the proposed system is verified.

A new reliable method to prediet the axial vapor fraction distribution from the measured probability density of the liquid bulk temperature is suggested in this paper. And also the actual quality of the subcooled boiling flow is easily calculated from the liquid bulk temperature. When the heat generating rate is reached to the CHF value, the sharp wall temperature increasing by the wall temperature fluctuation is occurred under the CHF condition. This paper presents the simple wall temperature fluctuation model of transition boiling by the repeating process of overheating and quenching, when the coalescent bubble passes slowly near the wall. Experiments for the subcooled R-113 flow are carride-out in the range of(0.9399~4.461)${\times}10^6$kg/$m^2$hr mass velocity and 10~3$0^{\circ}C$ intel subcooling condition.

무한 지속 가능한 지열 에너지를 활용한 공조시스템인 지열원 냉난방 시스템은 기존의 공조 시스템보다 열원이 안정적이기 때문에 높은 효율과 우수한 성능을 가지므로, 기후변화협약 대응의 주요수단으로서 기술개발과 보급이 증대되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 대수층 축열 지열원 열펌프 시스템에 대한 실증 연구를 통하여 대수층 축열 지열원 열펌프 시스템의 하절기 냉방 성능을 분석하였다. 대수층 축열 냉난방 시스템은 주입정과 양수정의 2개의 우물공이 설치되어 있으며, 겨울 난방 운전 중에 한 개의 우물공으로부터 지하수를 열펌프로 유입한 후 낮은 온도의 지하수를 타 우물공에 축열하고, 하절기에 겨울에 저온으로 축열된 우물공으로부터 지하수를 열펌프로 유입하여 온도가 증가된 지하수를 타 우물공에 주입한다. 즉, 계절별로 열펌프에서 생성된 냉수와 온수의 대수층 축열을 위하여 계절별로 주입정과 양수정이 바뀌게 된다. 본 연구의 대수층 축열 지열원 열펌프 시스템의 2009년 8월의 주요일자별 시스템 운전 중의 평균 냉방 열펌프 유닛 COP와 냉방 시스템 COP는 각각 4.7과 3.4이상의 우수한 성능을 나타냈다. 또한, 모든 일자에 대하여 외기온도가 $31.6^{\circ}C$서 $22^{\circ}C$까지 변화가 크게 나타났지만 열펌프 유닛 COP와 시스템 COP의 변화는 미소하였다. 이는 양수정으로부터의 지중 순환수가 운전기간 중에 $17.5^{\circ}C$로 일정하게 유지되었기 때문이다. 양수정과 주입정 사이에 5개의 관측공을 설치하였으며, 양수정 측에 인접한 관측공의 온도는 거의 변화가 없었으며, 단기간이지만 널리 사용되고 있는 수직밀폐형 시스템과 달리 지속적인 냉방운전 중의 양수 온도의 증가는 발생하지 않아 안정적인 성능을 나타냈다. 주입정에 인접한 모니터링 홀의 온도는 심도가 깊은 곳의 온도가 낮은 곳보다 높게 나타났다. 이는 냉방 운전 시 열펌프 유닛의 실외열교환기에서 지중 순환수가 냉매로부터 열을 취득하여 온도가 상승하면서 주입정측에 온열이 축열이 진행되었기 때문으로 분석되며, 하절기의 냉방 운전 시간이 증가할 경우 축열 효과는 더욱 증가할 것으로 예상된다. 양수정과 주입정 중간의 모니터링 홀의 온도는 2009년 8월 가동 중에 온도변화는 없었는데, 이는 양수정과 주입정 사이의 열간섭이 발생하지 않았기 때문으로 분석된다. 일자별로 운전 중의 열펌프 유닛 COP는 차이가 없었지만, 운전 및 정지 시간을 모두 포함한 시스템 소비전력과 냉방용량을 모두 합산하여 산정한 일일 평균 냉방 열펌프 유닛 COP와 냉방 시스템 COP는 일자별로 다소 차이가 발생하였는데, 이는 각 일자별로 열펌프 유닛 가동율의 차이로 인하여 열펌프 유닛 가동 전에 먼저 작동되는 지중순환펌프의 운전 소비전력의 차이와 열펌프의 단속운전 시의 열손실과 추거 소비전력의 차이 때문이다.

This paper presents an experimental study of heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of supercritical carbon dioxide with PAG inside a horizontal microfin tube. Heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop gradients were measured at 10 MPa in pressure and 520 kg/$m^2s$ in mass flux with variation of PAG mass concentration from 0.06% to 2.26%. The tendencies of both heat transfer and frictional pressure drop characteristics show the same as those of pure $CO_2$ up to 0.3% in PAG mass concentration. In case of 2.26% in PAG mass concentration, measured heat transfer coefficients showed 50% lower than those of pure $CO_2$ near the pseudocritical temperature and measured frictional pressure drop gradients show 1.6 times higher in comparison with those of pure $CO_2$ at $60^{\circ}C$ in $CO_2$ bulk temperature.

Two field cooling tests were conducted to evaluate the cooling characteristic of paddy with a prototype grain cooler. The first test was carried out during summer season in a steel bin with 180.3ton of paddy at Sunchon. And the second test was carried out during harvesting season in a steel bin with 272.2ton of paddy at Ulsan. At the first test, initial paddy temperature of 23.6$^{\circ}C$ was dropped to 14$^{\circ}C$, and initial moisture content of 19.9% was dropped to 19.3% after 52.5 hours of cooling. At the second test, initial paddy temperature of 16.1$^{\circ}C$ dropped to 5.5$^{\circ}C$ after 78.0 hours of cooling. And, at the first test, the average air flow rates of chilled air leaving the grain cooler and penetrating the grain layer were 77.5 ㎥/min and 42.5 ㎥/min, respectively. To prevent leakage of chilled air from plenum chamber of steel bin, which was about 45% of the average air flow rates of chilled air leaving the grain cooler, a proper method was required. The average total power consumption at the first test during summer was 22.1 ㎾ with control of fan damper. At the second test, it was 17.4 ㎾ due to controlling the capacity of compressor with unloading solenoid valve and changing the flow rates of hot refrigerant gas flowing into evaporator and reheater from compressor, resulting in 27% reduction of energy consumption.

This study was conducted to develop new drying process for automatic control and marine engi-neering system. Air-water tests were carried out to investigate dryer performance. The dispersed flow in he dryer test apparatuses was also simulated by using a numerical code which solves the Dittus-Boelter equation for continuous liquid phase and the Reynolds equation of droplet motion for continuous liquid phase and the Reynolds equation of droplet motion for dispersed phase to predict droplet removal efficiency. Proper conditions for dehumidification were optimized by response ambient conditions. When the selected indexes were constrained in the range of 85-98% moisture content above $15^{\circ}$ and more than mass flow rates of moist air 750kg/h. The numerical results were compared with the experimental data pertaining to the removal effi-ciency at chamber stage and overall pressure drop along concentric tubes Good agreement was obtained as for the efficiency while relatively poor agreement was obtained for the relative humidity. The results also showed that the efficiency depended strongly on the relative humidity at the inlet condition which indicated the importance of estimating the heat exchanger length. Effects of some design parameters in both removal efficiency and breakthrough onset condition are discussed.

The cooling performance of heat pump system for light-duty commercial electric vehicle was evaluated experimentally. The cooling performance characteristics of the heat pump for light-duty commercial electric vehicles were evaluated by varying the temperature, flow rate of chiller coolant, and electric compressor speed, under the exterior air temperature of 35 ℃ and interior air temperature of 25 ℃. Increasing the compressor speeds decreased the cooling system efficiency by 16.4 % on average with the cooling capacity increasing by 8.0 % on average and the compressor work increasing by 27% on average. To use waste heat from the coolant to chill power electronic components, such as the motor and inverter, a chiller was installed to transfer heat between the coolant and refrigerant. Increasing the temperature of the chiller coolant from 35 ℃ to 55 ℃ decreased the efficiency by 18.2 % on average due to higher condensing heat source. Increasing the coolant flow rate from 10 liter/min to 20 liter/min did not affect the cooling capacity of the system due to a similar total condensing heat transfer rate at the chiller and the exterior heat exchanger. In future works, heating performance will be investigated by varying the operating conditions to use the chiller's waste heat with an improvement of heating capacity.

Free cooling system is used to reduce energy consumption of cooling system. Free cooling system is consisted of cooling group and dry-cooler in which heat exchange of chilled water and out air is conducted. Although this system has an excellent energy saving effect in place having cooling load regularly, data or material of design for free cooling system is lacked. In this study, characteristics analysis of free cooling system is conducted through software HYSYS with changing some facts. The main result is following as : Dry-cooler capacity is influenced by out air temperature, required chilled water temperature and LMTD(Logarithmic Mean Temperature Difference) of heat exchanger. As out air temperature is more low, dry-cooler capacity become increased. in addition, as required chilled water temperature is more high and LMTD is more low, the out air temperature range is widened for using dry-cooler. If out air temperature is below $0^{\circ}C$, antifreeze need to be used because freeze and burst can be occurred. In case of South Korea, antifreeze of 34% of ethylene glycol concentration is proper. When compressor load of R22, R134a and R407C is compared, considering environmental regulation and energy consumption, R134a is best working fluid.

The reaching time to the freezing point was to be fast in the order of 2% agar gel, 5% agar gel, 20% gelatin gel, pork, respectively. The freezing time and the passing time through the zone of the maximum ice crystal formation had linear relationship with the coolant temperature. The average diameter d$_{p}$ of ice crystal in a soybean protein gel and the moving of freezing front were represented an inverse proportion, and the moving velocity of freezing front was shown as 3.4$\times$10$^{-6}$ $\textrm{cm}^2$/sec from predicted theoretical formula. This value was very close to experimental results. The storage temperature did not give any influences for the growth of ice crystal in inside soybean protein gels during freezing conservation. The relationship between freezing condition and structure of freezing front was as follows : (moving velocity of freezing front) : (mass transfer rate of water at freezing point)$\times$(surface area of freezing front).
