차량용 에어컨의 증발기 표면에 공기가 지나갈 때 결로로 인한 통풍저항 증대와 비산 현상을 억제하며 세균번식과 냄새가 발생하는 증발기에 항균성과 탈취효과를 주기 위해, 친수-항균재가 세계적으로 1980년대부터 적용되어 왔다. 본 고에서는 친수-항균재의 기술개발 동향과 평가기술을 소개하고자 한다.

Lately, customers think highly of the emotional satisfaction and as a result, issues on odor are matters of concern. The cases are odor of interior material and air-conditioner of vehicles. In particualar, with respect to the odor of air-conditioner, customers strongly claimed defects with provocative comments : "It smells like something rotten," "It smells like a foot odor," "It stinks like a rag." Generally, it is known that mold of evaporator core in the air-conditioning system decays and this produce VOCs which causes the odor to occur. In this study, partial least squares regression model is applied to predict the strength of the odor and select of important VOCs which affect car air conditioning smell. The PLS method is basically a particular multilinear regression algorithm which can handle correlated inputs and limited data. The number of latent variable is determined by the point which is stabilized mean absolute deviations of VOCs data. Also multiple linear regression is carried out to confirm the validity of PLS method.

In this paper, we verified the failure mechanism of the discolored masking tape wrapped around the wire and studied an improved case study as well. Masking tapes are poly(Vinylchloride-co-Methyl methacrylate) (PVC) and the wire connecting with indoor/outdoor components of the air conditioner is chloroprene(CR). The masking tape under. the ultraviolet ray was accelerated to discolor fivefold. The results determined reveal the discoloration of masking tapes as an elution of the additives, dephenyl Amine series antioxidants, in the connecting wire. When changed dephenyl Amine series to phenol series, we found that the degree of discoloration was dramatically decreased. Due to stink of Thiourea and Thiuram monosulfide, as accelerators in CR wire, we controlled the vulcanization temperature and time without using these accelerators and could get the wire not to smell bad with the equal mechanical properties.

In this study, the odor of the parts and the odor of the surrounding environment were classified and verified. In order to increase the reliability of odor quantitative/qualitative analysis, the selection criteria for 5 sensory evaluators were established, and the n-Butanol control solution for each odor intensity was periodically trained to recognize the odor intensity before sensory evaluation. In addition, although various odor thresholds have been used through several studies, verification of whether the odor intensity value obtained through GC/MSD analysis is similar to the degree to which a person directly smells and feels it. It is important to select the odor threshold that has the best correlation with the odor intensity calculated by the person smelling the odor. Finally, sampling and measuring flowing airflow and temporary odors such as odor component analysis was experimentally difficult due to limited collection space and differences in concentration of generated components. In this study, a quantitative analysis was made possible by using the low temperature concentration (cooling) trap method. Through this, it was confirmed that the correlation with the actual odor intensity was not caused by the product itself, but by the environmental factor discharged from the product after creating the odor environment.

이 논문은 자동차 실내의 인화성 물질과 전기적인 접촉 불량에 의한 화재사례를 분석하고 연구하는 것이다. 첫 번째 사례는 운전자가 에어컨 냄새 탈취제인 방향제를 사용 후 실내의 크래쉬 패드에 두고 내린 것이 외부의 복사열에 의해 폭발하면서 화재가 발생된 것으로 확인되었다. 두 번째 사례는 운전자가 자동차 실내에 전자기기 등을 사용하면서 전기적인 과부하가 걸려 단락현상에 의해 화재가 발생된 것으로 확인되었다. 세 번째 사례는 자동차 내부의 시트를 따뜻하게 하기 위해 열선을 설치하였다. 초기에 설치하였을 때는 화재의 위험성이 약했으나 5,000km를 운행하면서 이 열선의 내구성이 떨어지면서 순간적으로 전기적인 과부하가 발생되었고, 이 열이 시트에 옮겨 붙으면서 자동차 화재가 발생된 것으로 확인되었다. 네 번째 사례는 뒷좌석에 있던 승객이 담배를 피우던 중 완전히 소화하지 않은 상태로 둔 것이 가연성 종이에 옮겨 붙어 자동차가 전소된 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서, 실내의 인화성 물질이나 전기적인 시스템을 추가로 사용할 때는 화재가능성을 최대한 고려하고 이에 대한 세심한 대책을 강구하여야 한다.
