A conceptual thermoelectric heat pump(cooling mode) of small capacity is designed. Its performance is investigated through parametric analysis. COP and cooling capacity decease as the ambient temperature increases with ${\mu}$, J, T$\sub$wi/, fixed. To design a system of fixed capacity comes to calculate ${\mu}$ and J when T$\sub$wi/, and T$\sub$a/ are given. As v is fixed by semi-conductor manufacturers, optimum combination of n and I should be searched for ν. Optimum current could be calculated using ${\mu}$-J curve and optimum value of ${\mu}$. COR$\sub$R/ increases as water flow rate increases and T$\sub$a/ decreases. The effect of heat transfer coefficient at hot(heat releasing) side is more significant than that at cold(heat absorbing) side.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of the fog-cooling system on the growth and yield characteristics of two large-fruited paprika cultivars during summer cultivation season. The temperature inside the greenhouse equipped with fog-cooling system was $2-3^{\circ}C$ lower than that in the control. The results of study show the possibilities of maintaining indoor temperatures below $35^{\circ}C$ and relative humidity at the level of 80% using fogcooling system during hot seasons of the year. Plant height, fruit weight and number of fruits per plant were higher for both cultivars in the fog-cooling treatment compared to those in control. Mean fruit weight and yield per unit area were higher in the fog-cooling treatment than those in the control. However there were no significant differences in sugar content, flesh thickness and locule number of fruits due to fog-cooling system. Number of fruits with epidermal cracking was decreased in the fog-cooling system for both paprika cultivars. Mineral contents of plants such as nitrogen (N), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), were not affected due to fog-cooling treatment.

The purpose of this study is to provide fundamental cooling design data for the large public enclosures as gymnasium. This study executed indoor thermal environment verification of the existing gymnasium by measuring temperature distribution with and without cooling the space in summer. Colling loads from human body was not considered. We examined various indoor thermal environment factors of the large enclosed space in this study which include vertical and horizontal temperature distribution, supply and return air flow feature, thermal comfort environment feature, amount of ventilation and etc.

A chiller cooler absorbs the thermal energy of water to generate cold water and supplies the generated cold water to a cold water pipe buried in the wall of a small mobile modular house to greatly increase the cooling area. An attempt was made to reduce the required cooling time significantly. A small chiller cooler suitable for the cooling load of a small mobile modular house with an area less than 3.3 m² was employed. When cooling is done during summer using a chiller cooler installed outdoors, heat absorption energy loss occurs in the cold water pipe owing to the high temperature. To address this, a study was conducted to reduce the endothermic energy loss significantly. As the mass flow rate of the cold water flowing inside the cold water pipe increased, the temperature decrease gradient of the cold water increased. From the start of the cooling operation, the air temperature of the small mobile modular house decreased linearly in proportion to the operation time. Furthermore, the temperature of the air inside the small mobile modular house decreased in proportion to the increase in the flow of water inside the cold water pipe.

단일창호를 적용한 KNU 식물공장 모델의 냉난방 에너지 부하를 DesignBuilder를 이용하여 해석하였다. 상추의 적정생육온도인 $20^{\circ}C$를 기준으로 이중창호를 적용한 경우와 에너지 소모량을 비교 분석하였다. 단일창호가 이중창호에 비해 연간 냉방부하는 약 128 MWh 감소하고 난방부하는 약 26 MWh 증가하여 단일창호가 냉방부하저감에 유리하다고 판단된다. KNU 식물공장의 중앙에 위치한 공간의 상부를 지붕구조물로 닫거나 계절별로 개폐하면서 냉난방부하에 미치는 영향을 계산하였다. 지붕구조물을 설치하게 되면 단위유닛이 취득하는 태양열이 감소하여 냉방부하가 감소하게 된다. 또한 지붕구조물을 상시 닫아두는 것이 계절별로 여닫는 것보다 냉방부하 저감에 유리하다. 식물공장 측면벽에 overhang과 sidefin을 설치하면 차양효과로 냉방부하가 감소하지만 감소비율은 크지 않았다. 에너지 부하의 대부분을 차지하는 냉방부하를 낮추기 위해 구조물이나 차양을 설치할 수 있으나 절감효과에 비해 설치비가 증가할 수 있기 때문에 추가 경제성 연구가 필요하다.

Cooling air-conditioning of APC (Agricultural Products processing Center) workplace is important to improve the working environment in the summer season. As existing cooling systems for air-conditioning of whole workplace are inefficient because of their high equipment operating costs, relatively inexpensive cooling system is required. The objectives of this study were to simulate the thermal flow fields in APC workplace having the positive and negative pressure type fan and pad systems and spot cooling system by using CFD software (FLUENT, 6.2) and estimate the cooling effectiveness of respective cooling systems. The results showed that the negative pressure type fan and pad system was inappropriate for the present APC workplace because of excessive outside air influx from open gateway and the positive pressure type fan and pad system created relatively low temperature field but non-uniform velocity field at worker positions. The spot cooling system could supply cool air to worker positions with relatively constant air velocity and temperature.

In this study, the cooling experiment was carried out in $1,650m^2$ area of the seedling greenhouse from June 6, 2011 to september 18, 2011 with the vertical type geothermal heat pump system of 350 kW scale (175 kW ${\times}$ 2 units) installed in the greenhouse, cooling effects were analyzed and we tried to find more effective operation methods of the geothermal heat pump system. In case of one unit heat pump (175 kW) operation, when evaporator inlet water temperature changed from $13.0^{\circ}C$ to $15.5^{\circ}C$, cooling COP of the system was in 1.1~1.8 range and in case of two unit heat pump (350 kW) operation, when evaporator inlet water temperature changed from 13.0 to 15.5, cooling COP of the system was in 2.0~2.7 range. The accumulated cooling heat quantity of June, July, August and September was 14,718.6, 26,765.1, 28,437.2 and 10,065.0 kWh, respectively.

The objective of this study is to investigate the cooling performances of the electrical air-conditioning system using electric driven scroll compressor for zero emission passenger vehicles. This air conditioner with air source was used R-134a as a refrigerant and installed in a real zero emission passenger vehicle for tests under various driving conditions. The cooling performance of the electrical air conditioner was affected by driving velocities and conditions of the tested vehicle. The condensing rate of the condenser during driving is better than that of the idle condition. The average cool down temperature in the cabin room decreased on average $5.2^{\circ}C$ with the increase of the outdoor temperature from $20.0^{\circ}C$ to $30.0^{\circ}C$. In addition, the cooling performances were sufficient for cooling loads of the tested passenger car under tested conditions.

4계절이 뚜렷한 우리나라의 겨울철은 작물생산에 단경기이었으나, 플라스틱 하우스나 유리온실이 보급되면서 겨울철 단경기가 해소되었다. 그러나 이리한 시설들은 PE 또는 유리 등의 피복자재를 사용하여 여름철의 경우 막대한 일사부하로 온실 내부온도가 외부온도보다 높아져 작물생육에 열악한 환경을 조성한다. 이에 fog and pad system, fan and pad system 과 heat pump 등이 개발되어 있으나 실용적으로 도입되지 못하고 있는 실정이다. (중략)

우리나라의 여름 기후는 고온 다습한 특징을 갖고 있다. 고온 다습한 지역에서는 습도가 쾌적성을 결정하는데 중요한 요소가 되기 때문에, 습도가 높으면 온도가 그다지 높지 않더라도 쉽게 무더위를 느낀다. 이러한 계절적 특성을 없애 쾌적한 생활을 영위하기 위하여 생활의 질적 향상과 더불어 공조장치의 수요가 매년 두드러지게 증가하고 있다. 특히, 실내의 경우에는 공조장치 중 대표적인 에어컨(air conditioner)으로 냉방을 행함으로써 고온 다습한 여름철의 거주공간을 개선하고 있다. 그러나 고온 다습한 환경하에서의 과다한 에어컨 사용은 인체의 온열 환경적 측면에서 오히려 불리하다. 왜냐 하면, 에어컨에서는 여름철에 잠열(latent heat)을 고려해야 함에도 불구하고 단지 현열비(sensible heat factor)로 취출온도를 결정하고 있기 때문이다. 그 결과, 실내가 과다하게 냉각되어 재실자에게 불쾌감은 물론, 심지어 냉방병도 초래할 수가 있다.
