Manual type manifold gauge has been used for charging the refrigerant in the refrigeration systems. In this case, the refrigerant is released to the ambient during the hose-switching period. :he objectives of this study are to develop a novel automatic refrigerant charging system, and to quantify the effect of the automatic systems on the reduction of the non-condensable gas and the contamination of the compressor oil. The automatic charging system makes the pressure test, vacuum test, and refrigerant charging work very simple and easy because the charging hose does not have to be switched many times. It is found that the amount of water in the SiO$_2$and the compressor oil reduces to l/4 times of that for the manual type manifold gauge and the refrigerant is not released to the ambient at all when the automatic charging system is adopted.

Natural gas vehicles are being applied to city buses for improving air quality in metropolitan and have proved the effective way to reduce the pollutant emissions. Liquified Natural Gas(LNG) has also attempted a vehicle fuel in order to raise the fuel storage density that is a disadvantage of Compressed Natural Gas(CNG). This paper described insulation characteristic of a LNG storage tank. From the results, adiabatic coefficient of a tested tank was around $40J/h{\cdot}^{\circ}C{\cdot}m^2$ and it was the lower level than gas safety regulation limit. Two experimental methods were adopted to justify the evaluation results and they were revealed that the results were very similar to each other. Also, through testing relief valve operation characteristic it was investigated venting amount of boiled off gas.

In the natural gas pressure regulation station, high pressure natural gas is decompressing using pressure regulation valves. Waste pressure occurred in the pressure regulation process can be recovered through adopting turbo expanders. However, in the waste pressure recovery process, Joule Thompson effect causes below $0^{\circ}C$ and this low temperature freezes outside land of pipeline or generates methane hydrate in the pipeline which can block the pipeline. Therefore, turbo expander systems are accompanying with a boiler for preheating natural gas. Molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC), one of the high temperature fuel cell, can use natural gas as a direct fuel and is also exhausting low emission gas and generating electricity. In this paper, a thermodynamic analysis on the hybrid MCFC-turbo expander system is conducted. The fuel cell system is analyzed for the base load of the hybrid system.

A bag filter collector is a kind of air purifier that organizes several or dozens of filters to purify fine dust and release clean air into the atmosphere. If the bag filter length is less than 5m, the dust and fume attached to the bag filter could be effectively removed by passing the compressed air generated by the diaphragm valve through the venturi. Injectors that are more efficient and economical are urgently needed to achieve satisfactory results for long-bag exhaustion of more than 7 meters. In the case of existing domestic and foreign injectors, a number of blow tubes were dismantled during maintenance, and the injector and blow tube were combined to pose a number of problems, including inconvenience of work due to weight increase. In this study, injector flow for the development of the best use of interpretation of the coanda effect and the fourth round of industrial technology Intelligent automation of exhaustion, have been engineered energy than standard equipment. lowering costs and filter life to radically improve the commercial studies.

진공펌프의 성능을 나타내는 여러 파라미터가 있지만 가장 중요한 성능지표는 역시 배기속도라고 할 수 있다. 배기속도는 물리적으로 체적유량(volume flow rate, L/s 또는 m3/hr) 즉 단위시간당 펌프 흡기구에 들어오는 기체의 체적을 가리킨다. 펌프 흡기구 단면을 지나가는 체적을 직접 측정하는 것은 거의 불가능하므로 진공 전문가들은 흡기구로 들어가는 기체 유량(flow rate, mbar${\cdot}$L/s 또는 Pa${\cdot}$m3/s)과 흡기구 압력(mbar 또는 Pa)을 측정한 후 유량을 압력으로 나누어 주는 방식으로 배기속도를 측정한다. 유량은 표면 기체 방출을 고려하더라도 실용적인 측면에서 보면 위치에 상관없이 불변하는 값으로 볼 수 있어서 유량을 어떻게 정밀하게 잴 것인가 하는 방법만 있으면 편리한 위치에서 측정하면 된다. 반면에 압력을 정밀하게 측정하는 방식은 확립되어 있지만 막상 어디서 측정하는 것이 옳은가 하는 것은 의외로 쉽지 않다. 펌프의 배기속도를 측정하는 상황을 몇 가지로 가정해 보면, 규격에 입각한 표준용기에 달아 정식으로 재는 것, 게이지가 부착된 마구리판을 달고 간이로 재는 것, 펌프가 사용되고 있는 시스템 현장에서 재는 것이 있을 수 있고 펌프가 달려 있는 상태도 직접 용기에 달거나, 도관 또는 어댑터 및 밸브를 통해 달리는 경우가 있다. 앞에서 펌프 배기속도 계산 시 사용하는 흡기구 압력이란 엄밀히 말하면 흡기구를 바라보는 방향으로 가해지는 압력을 말하는데 이는 진공 게이지를 펌프 흡기구 면에서 상류를 향하도록 놓을 때 얻을 수 있는 값으로 막상 실행하는 것은 어렵다. 표준용기의 구조는 진공 게이지를 특정 위치에 달 때 마치 흡기구 면에 놓인 게이지처럼 흡기구 압력을 정확하게 측정할 수 있도록 고안된 것이지만 때에 따라서는 여러 변형된 측정 방식을 사용할 수밖에 없는 상황이 만들어지므로 어떤 보정을 거치면 올바른 배기속도 값을 구할 수 있는지 살펴볼 필요가 있다.

To evaluate the sequence of event and the Thermohydraulic behavior during total loss of feedwater accident and recovery procedure, a RELAP5/MOD3 calculation is performed and compared with the LOFT L9-l/L3-3 experiment. Also, the predictability of the code for the major Thermohydraulic phenomena following the accident is assessed. As a result, it is found that a pressure control using the spray until the time the water level reaches the top of the pressurizer, an overpressure protection by pressurizer PORV, a recovery of the secondary heat removal capability by refilling steam generator, and an effective cooldown by the continued natural circulation can be performed without core uncovery. It is also found that the plant-specific evaluation is necessary to confirm the effectiveness of the current symptom-oriented emergency operating procedure, especially in an overpressure protection performance and steam generator recovery performance.

The reduction of CO2 emission has been discussed in the Marine Environment Protection committee in the International Maritime Organization as the biggest causes of GHG for the purpose of indexing CO2 amounts released into the atmosphere from ships. Accordingly, various methods including the change in the hull design to improve energy efficiency, the coating development to reduce friction resistances, the additives development for improving thermal efficiency in an engine, the low-speed operation to reduce fuel consumptions, and etc. have been applied. The main engine of a ship is an electronic engine for improving the efficiency of the whole load area. However, marine generator engines still use mechanical drive engines in intake, exhaust, and fuel injection valve drive cams. In addition, most of marine generator engines in ships apply a part-load operation of less then 80% due to an overload protection system. Therefore, marine auxiliary diesel engine set at 100% load is necessary to readjust in order to efficient operation because of part-load operation. The objective of this study is to report the results of the part-load fuel consumption improvement by injection timing readjust to identifying the operational characteristics of a marine generator engine currently operated in a ship.

Turbochargers are an effective device to reduce the fuel consumption. In this study, the mass flow rate of pulsating flow in the twin-scroll turbocharger for the gasoline engine of passenger vehicles was measured. Pulsating flow was achieved using a pulse generator and the mass flow rate of the unsteady pulsating flow was analyzed by comparing it with those of the steady flow. The pulse generator consisted of a rotating upper plate and a fixed lower plate. To measure the mass flow rate of unsteady flow, the orifice flow meter equipped with the difference pressure transducer was used. To analyze the low speed performance of the turbocharger, the measurement was carried out in the speed of turbocharger from 60,000rpm to 100,000rpm. The mass flow parameters of the unsteady pulsating flow showed a large difference compared to those of the steady flow. Those of the unsteady flow showed the hysteresis loop surrounding the mass flow parameters of the steady flow and the maximum variation of the mass flow parameters were 5.0 times those of the steady flow. This phenomenon is the result of the filling and emptying the turbine volute space due to pulsating flow.
