Most of the battery charger for electric powered forklift truck are controlled by the method of 3-phased constant current and constant voltage controls. However, these chargers have several disadvantages like a large charger capacity, and a short battery life time. To eliminate the weak points, a digital type battery charger based on multi-mode control adding a constant power control and several assistant controls in the conventional control is presented. The whole control system is performed by a low cost 8 bit one-chip micro-controller and completely digitize. So, we can get a high precision control and a good reliability.

The major cause of compressor failure is the decrease of oil viscosity due to floodback. In most previous researches on the compressor reliability, the relationship between oil circulation rate and performance or oil viscosity has been studied. Another research topic is flow visualization by using a sight glass on the bottom of a compressor sump area and accumulator. Both oil film thickness and oil level through the sight glass should be assessed for compressor reliability if the oil content of the mixture is small and low viscosity raise poor lubrication of pump bearing. In this study, the compressor reliability was assessed by measuring the viscosity of the mixture and calculating oil film thickness. The analysis of the relationship between bottom shell super heat and oil film thickness at heating operation was peformed. It is concluded that bottom shell superheat does not perfectly stand for the mixture's behavior for a low ambient heating operation and oil film thickness can give more detailed and direct criteria for compressor reliability.

Conventional method to transform vehicle driving condition to engine operation mode is to use vehicle road load under neutral gear and mechanical efficiency of drivetrain. But this method requires additional measurement of efficiency of drivetrain on a test rig. And this measurement is normally done at fixed speed and thus estimated accuracy of engine operation mode is not considered to be high enough. This study suggests new method to calculate engine operation mode for prescribed driving mode such as NEDC using vehicle coastdown test under gear engaged condition without measurement of mechanical efficiency of drivetrain. Coastdown test was done under neutral and gear engaged condition for comparison and also trial to extract mechanical loss of drivetrain was carried out. Calculated engine torque by conventional and newly suggested method was compared with actually measured torque of a vehicle on a chassis dynamometer during NEDC. Newly suggested method showed slightly higher accuracy of accumulated brake work during NEDC.

세계가 점차적으로 "전화(電化)"됨에 따라 전기 에너지의 효과적인 분배와 사용이 급격히 중요하게 되었다. 일반 도체를 통한 전류의 흐름은 도체의 저항에 의해 줄열을 발생시켜 전기 에너지의 손실을 일으키고 결국은 에너지와 경제적 자원의 낭비를 초래하게 된다. 초전도체의 저항은 직류 전류에서는 0, 교류 전류에서는 거의 0이기 때문에 초전도체를 이용하면 전력 소자 및 기기의 부피와 무게를 현저히 줄일 수 있는 반면에 모든 전기 시스템의 효율을 향상시킬 수 있고, 에너지 사용의 절감에 따라 환경 문제에 도움을 줄 수 있다. 사고 전류 제한기의 설계에 있어서, 권선형태에 따른 솔레노이드 마그네트와 팬케이크 마그네트를 설계, 제작하여 자장 특성 및 한류 특성을 비교 하였다. 2세대 고온 초전도 선재로 불리는 YBCO 박막형 초전도 선재를 이용하여 동작 전류 증대를 위한 다병렬 솔레노이드 마그네트와 다병렬 팬케이크 마그네트를 제작하였다. 이를 이용하여 440 V/ 630 A급 초전도 사고 전류 제한기와 2 kA 급 대전류 통전 사고 전류 제한 모듈을 설계, 제작하여 단락 특성 시험을 수행하였다. 한편, 자장 응용 기기에 적용 가능한 더블 팬케이크 마그네트를 제 2 세대 초전도선재를 이용하여 설계, 시작하였다. 2세대 선재는 1세대 선재에 비하여 20 T 이상의 외부 자장에 대한 특성이 우수하여 고자장 마그네트 시스템에 더욱 적합하다. 이에 초전도 마그네트 보호를 위한 상전도 영역 전파 실험을 수행하여 CC 선재의 안정도를 측정하였다. 또한 영구전류모드 운전과 플럭스 펌프를 통한 전류 충전에 대한 연구도 병행하였다.

The demand of LNG in Korea has dramatically increased since it was first imported in 1986. Thus, more LNG storage tanks are required to meet the growing consumption of LNG. However the design, construction, and analysis of LNG storage facility need highly advanced technology compared to the general structures due to the fluid-structure interaction and the low temperature of LNG. Recently Korea Gas Corporation(KOGAS) constructed a pilot LNG storage tank, and it is in operation to develop and accumulate the core technology. As a part of those objects, the fundamental dynamic test for the pilot tank were performed. For this study, dynamic test were carried out and the dynamic characteristics of the pilot tank were verified and analyzed.

Research on vibration of a vehicle with a transversely mounted 4-cylinder engine was performed using a vector synthesis method, Data of the engine vibration for the vector synthesis method was obtained experimentally and the data was ODS-fitted to calculate vibration level on any engine location assuming that the engine is rigid body in the frequency range of interest. In order to derive the excitation force on the vehicle body, the displacements were converted from the acceleration of engine. The transfer functions from engine mounts to toe pan on the floor were obtained experimentally. The vibration level on the toe pan was predicted by multiplying the excitation force by the transfer function. The predicted vibration level was compared with experimental data and the result was reasonable. Using the developed method, analysis was made for the effect of body fixture conditions of the vehicle when testing the engine vibration and for the effect of the transfer functions when the engine is installed or when the engine is removed. Finally the degree of contribution for 12 transfer paths was calculated.

Environmental protection on the ocean has been interested and nowadays the International Maritime Organization(IMO) has advanced on the prevention of air pollution from ships. This study presents the emission characteristics of 4 stroke marine diesel engines in E3 cycle (propulsion application) and D2 cycle (generation application). Also the effects of important operating parameters in terms of intake air pressure and temperature, and maximum combustion pressure on the specific emissions are described. Emissions measurement and calculation are processed according to IMO Technical Code. The results show that NOx emission level in E3 cycle is higher than that in D2 cycle due to lower engine speed at low load and the maximum combustion pressure by fuel injection timing control and intake air temperature has strong influence on NOx emission production. And CO, HC emissions are not affected by maximum combustion pressure and intake air pressure and temperature.

Recently, the new Korean Tilting Train Express(TTX) which maintains a speed on the curve railway line is developed. Electric railways, including the TTX, have electrical problems that could bring about serious accidents. For such reasons, the electric railway's electrical problems, electrical harmonic and others, have been studied briskly. Thus, TTX's electrical problems also need leading studies because the new Korean TTX will operate earnestly in 2012. The results could be used hereafter diagnosis of it's components and train conditions. In the paper, electrical signals in TTX operation were measured to analyze electrical harmonic. In addition, after the electrical signals were measured to operating mode (coasting mode, acceleration mode and regenerative breaking mode) respectively in test section(Ho-nam line, Chung-buk line, Jung-ang line and Tae-baek line). The electrical harmonics considered operating modes triparted were analysed and evaluated.

Oxy-coal combustion for $CO_2$ capture in coal power plants entails a mode switching from air-firing to oxyfiring. In this study, procedure of the mode switching was investigated and discussed through experiments in pilot scale facilities: (1) a 0.3 $MW_{th}$ furnace with a vertical single burner and a FGR(Flue Gas Recirculation) system (2) a 1 $MW_{th}$ furnace with horizontal 4 burners and a FGR system. Principle of the mode switching was established and performed with control of FD fan, FGR fan, ID fan and oxygen flow rates. We have found that equivalence ratio in the oxy-firing mode should be increased more than that in the air-firing to achieve stable mode switching. Control of FD, ID and FGR fans should be performed carefully in the mode switching, in the sense of complete combustion and flame attachment. Moisture contents in the ash and the flue gas recycled to the primary oxidizer stream should be removed to prevent condensation, corrosion and duct clogging.
