The green building is one of biggest factors to go the goal of energy saving and environmental conservation, "reduction of energy consumption, friendly energy technology, recycling of resource, and environmental pollution reduction technology. The purpose of these green buildings realized by the energy-saving technology such as the thermal bridge breaker(or thermal bridge block). Thermal bridges are localized elements that penetrate insulated portions of building envelope that results in heat loss. The purpose of this paper is to describe the technical interactions for patents of a thermal bridge breaker(TTB) used in green building practices, and be subject to investigation to TTB in the leading countries, that is, United State, Europe Union, Japan, and Korea. As a result, there are four TTB categories(roof, wall-slab connection, opening, footing) in house or building. The TTB categories is remarkable technology that is apparatus in slab-wall joints and sealing element of opening frame in walls.

Internal Insulation system is applied to the most apartment building in Korea. However due to the importance of building energy enhanced the interest of the exernal insulation system. The extermal insulation system has better thermal performance because the thermal bridge through the structure are rarely formed. But the thermal bridge around the window decrease the thermal performance of the envelope system. Therefore the technology for reducing the thermal bridge around window improves energy efficiency of the building. In order to this it is necessary to minimize the thermal bridge around window of building. In this study it is aimed to minimize the thermal bridge around the window of building. It was confirmed that the use of thermal bridge barrier imporved the heat transfer rate by 64% or more and the condensation reduction phenomenon by 42% or more compared with the exist technology. These thermal bridge barrier will be used as the main technology to improve the energy efficiency of building.

It is important to eliminate thermal bridge for achieving passive and environmental-friendly buildings. Structural members may frequently act as thermal bridges that become a conduit of energy. it is emphasized that thermal bridge breaker (TBB) system is necessary for blocking thermal bridge of the structural members. This TBB system has to maintain a performance to tensile and compressive stress which arises in member section in order to being realized structurally. Thus, it is composed with anchorage devices which obtain continuity with structural members inside building and rebar of cantilever balcony, and compression joint which resist compression stress occurring to TBB. Applying method of TBB's compression joint is designed to have high strength with comparatively small element section which can cover external load. This study carried out finite elements method based on compression experiment. Throughout the FEM analysis, this study provides information on finding optimal shape for compression joint of TBB which can suitably apply to current building balcony of Korea.

Thermal bridge on a building envelope causes additional heat loss which increases the heating energy consumption. As the higher building insulation performance is required, heat loss through thermal bridge becomes higher proportion among total building heating energy consumption. For the exterior insulation and finish system, thermal bridge between window frame and concrete wall should be constidered as one of main reasons of heat loss. In this study, the thermal bridge barrier between window frame and concrete wall(STAR) was proposed as the best practice for reducing thermal bridge. The STAR was confirmed that the use of thermal bridge barrier imporved the annual heat energy capacity by 35% or more and the innitial construction cost by 7.4% or less because of additional interior insulation against condensation. Finally the life cycle cost during 20 year by heating energy of a building reduced by 25% or more compared with the exist technology. This STAR thermal bridge barrier will be used as the main technology to improve the energy efficiency of building.

This study aims to evaluate the structural safety of a structural thermal barrier, installed inside the structure of a building and performed the role of a load-bearing element and an insulation simultaneously, contributing to the realization of net-zero buildings. To ensure the reliability of the analysis model, the analysis results derived from LS-DYNA were compared with the experimental results. Based on the results shown through the flexural experiment, the reliability of the thermal cross-section insulation structure model for slabs was validated. In addition, the effect of the UHPC block on the load support performance and its contribution to vertical deflection was verified.

We set the representative balcony types of the existed building to two types: unexpanded balcony and extended balcony, and analyze the effect of reducing the cooling and heating energy load when applying remodeling. The scope of the study was limited to balcony walls, including window-wall junctions, and was conducted by comparing cases with and without thermal break insulation structures for a clear conclusion. The study was conducted using the equivalent U-value in each case. The equivalent U-value was calculated by deriving through 2 dimensional steady-state heat transfer analysis of each case balcony envelope. And building energy was calculated using the derived equivalent U-value. According to the calculation results, for unexpanded balconies, the equivalent U-value was reduced by about 80%, and the heating and cooling load was reduced by about 20%. In the case of extended balconies, the equivalent U-value was reduced by about 57% and the resulting heating and cooling load was reduced by about 12%.

증기발생기 2차측 상태는 발전소 운영에 있어 중요한 역할을 수행한다. 기기, 배관 및 열교환기에서 발생되는 침적물은 증기발생기 튜브의 부식 원인이 될 수 있으며, 튜브와 튜브 지지판 사이의 공간을 차단한다. 2차측 침적물에 의한 튜브 파손으로 인해 일부 발전소에서는 강제적으로 발전을 정지하는 사례가 발생하였다. 또한 튜브 지지판의 침적물 축적으로 인해 정상 운전 동안 전력 생산을 감소하게 되는 결과를 초래한 발전소도 있었다. 따라서 증기발생기 2차측 상태 감시와 더불어 증기발생기 부품의 청결 유지는 필수 항목이라 할 수 있다. 웨스팅하우스에서는 증기발생기를 초기 제작 상태로 복구하고 2차측 침적물을 제거하기 위해 EPRI SGOG 증기발생기 화학 세정을 수 년간 이용하고 있다. 본고는 35개 이상의 발전소에서 성공적으로 이용하고 있는 화학 세정 프로세스 개요 및 프로세스를 적용하면서 취득한 경험을 요약한 것이다.

원자력발전소 화학 및 체적제어계통의 일부인 밀봉수주입계통은 원자로 냉각재펌프 밀봉장치로 일정한 온도 범위의 밀봉수를 공급하여 밀봉장치의 건전성 및 원자로 냉각재 계통의 압력경계를 유지한다. 그러나 발전소 과도상태시 밀봉수 주입온도가 허용범위를 벗어나게 되면 온도조절기 폐쇄신호에 의해 밀봉장치로의 밀봉수 주입이 차단될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 발전소 과도시에도 밀봉수 주입이 지속적으로 가능한 설계개선 방안으로 밀봉수주입 열교환기 주위에 우회라인을 설치하는 방안을 제시하고 밀봉수주입 열교환기 내에서의 비정상 열전달 현상을 수치해석을 이용하여 분석하였다. 계산은 속도장을 정상 상태인 power-law분포로 가정하고 시간 t=0에서 입구온도가 급격히 변하는 과도시 우회 유량 및 시간 변화에 대한 온도분포, 국부 Nusselt 수, 평균온도 등을 구하였다.

LPG 온풍기의 이론연소효율은 91%, $CO_2$ 배출량은 11.74%, CO배출량은 0ppm, 과잉공기비는 1.16, 배기가스온도는 253$^{\circ}C$, 온풍온도는 8$0^{\circ}C$로서 우수한 성능으로 나타났다. 2. LPG온풍기에서 배출되는 배기가스중의 $CO_2$ 를 온실로 공급하기 위하여 $CO_2$ 공급기를 제작하여 배출가스연도에 부착하였다. $CO_2$ 공급기는 흡입형 시로코팬(1200㎥/h)과 차단문으로 이루어졌다. 1-2W형 300평 온실내의 $CO_2$ 농도를 1000ppm으로 올리기 위해서는 $CO_2$ 공급기를 약 1시간 정도 운전시켜야 할 것으로 판단되었다. 3. LPG온풍기와 경유온풍기의 경제성 비교분석에 의하면 현 시점의 경유 가격 242원, LP가스 가격 435원을 기준으로 연간소요비용은 각각 5,392,430원, 5,299,917원으로 경유온풍기가 10만원 정도 경제적이지만 탄산가스 시용비용, 탄산가스 공급으로 인한 작물의 수량증대 및 고품질 생산물을 고려한다면 LPG온풍기 사용이 더 경제적이라 사료된다.

In this study, the effects of design factors of finned-tube heat exchanger, such as fin spacing and fin array on the frost growth and heat exchanger performance are investigated under a frosting condition. The results show that the amount of frost, frost density and blockage ratio of air flow passage increase with decreasing fin spacing. Heat transfer rate increases momentarily at the initial stage of frosting and then decreases. After that heat transfer rate continues to increase again to reach a maximum value and then decreases dramatically. It is shown that the time required for heat transfer rate to reach a maximum value becomes shorter with decreasing fin spacing, and after a maximum value, heat transfer rate decreases very fast. The maximum allowable blockage ratio is introduced to determine the operation limit of a finned-tube heat exchanger operating under frosting condition and is obtained as a function of fin spacing. It is also shown that heat transfer rate of heat exchanger with staggered fin array increases about 17% and the amount of pressure drop of air increases about 1~2 mmH$_{2}$O, compared with those of in-line type heat exchanger under frosting condition.
