독성가스는 반도체, LCD, 태양전지 등 첨산 산업 발달로 그 수요가 증가하고 있으나, 독성가스 용기 무단폐기 등 관리 및 유통에 대한 체계가 열악한 실정이다. 독성가스를 제조 유통하는 시설이 2013년 기준으로 2,774개소가 있으며, 2012년 가스사용량은 2010년 대비 62.5% 급증하였다. 대학교, 연구소 등 사용량은 적으나 독성가스를 사용하지만 고압가스안전관리법의 검사 대상에서 제외되는 기관도 4천개 이상이 되는 상태에서 이에 대한 유통 이력 추적 관리는 매우 중요한 상태이다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는, RFID를 이용하여 독성가스 용기의 제조, 유통, 충전 및 폐기 전 영역에서 이력정보를 관리하는 독성가스 용기 유통 이력추적관리기술을 개발하였으며, 본 기술을 통하여 투명하고 추적 가능한 독성가스 용기 관리 체계를 갖추었다.

Natural ventilation is employed in limestone mines that have been currently operated in Korea, and there has been a growing issue of a significantly weak airflow caused by the large-scale excavation. Thus, the air quality in the working area is considerably poor. In order to improve this circumstance, it is mainly required to examine ventilation performance. In this study, the examination of ventilation efficiency was conducted by using tracer gas method. The result of this work indicated detailedly the ventilation problems in research mine, in that extremely low air velocity, recirculation, and air change rate were evaluated quantitatively using tracer gas. Therefore the ventilation performance evaluation using tracer gas can be opted as a precise method to improve the working area in mines.

본 논문은 TDR(Time Domain Reflectometry)을 이용하여, 비유전율내에서 PD(Partial Discharge) 발생 시 부분방전 위치를 추적할 수 있는 한분야의 방법으로 비율전율간의 이동속도를 적용하여 PD위치를 쉽게 겁근할 수 있는 방법이다. 기존에는 절연유와 SF6 가스의 연결부에서 부분방전 발생 시 30cm/ns의 이동속도를 이용하여 위치를 추적함으로써 약 31% 오차가 발생하였다. 절연유내에서의 이동속도를 20cm/ns의 상수를 적용하여 현장에 적용결과 PD위치의 오차를 저감할 수 있었으며, PD발생 부분을 절연유와 SF6 가스구역으로 구분을 할 수가 있었으며, 이를 통하여 점검예산을 확보할 수 있는 계기가 되었다. 비유전율 상수를 이용한 이동속도를 산출하여 PD위치를 추적하는 방법을 활용하면, 기존의 PD발생위치 추적을 보다 용이하게 접근할 수 있는 방법이라 생각한다.

In this study, a tracer gas technique was used to measure ventilation effectiveness in a thermal environmental chamber simulating an under-floor air conditioning system. A tracer gas of $SF_6$ was injected in a supply duct using step-up and step-down methods. Local mean ages and room mean ages were calculated from the measured concentrations under isothermal and cooling conditions with and without diffusers. Ventilation effectiveness is found to be higher in cooling ventilation operations than in isothermal operations. Results also show that ventilation effectiveness is not significantly affected by a diffuser.

가스 상태의 반응 공정을 이용하는 반도체, 플라즈마, 연소 및 촉매를 이용한 유해가스처리와 대기환경 등에서는 반응을 주도하는 활성기(radical)의 역할 그리고 극미량(sub-ppm 수준)으로 존재하는 유해가스 성분등을 실시간으로 추적하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 현재 사용되고 있는 비 광학적 미량 가스 측정 장비들은 측정 대상 가스성분과 측정 장치의 프로브 사이의 물리적인 접촉이 요구되므로 감지시간이 늦고, 프로브 오염에 따른 hysteresis, 회복시간(recovery time)의 지연, 활성(부식성) 가스 샘플에 의한 감지기능 저하 등을 유발한다.

A mobile emission laboratory (MEL) was designed to measure the amount of traffic pollutants with high temporal and spatial resolution under real conditions. Equipment for gas-phase measurements of quantity of CO, NOx, $CO_2$, and THC and for the measurement of the number density and size distribution of fine and ultra-fine particles by a FMPS and a CPC were placed in a mini-van. The exhaust of different type of vehicles can be sampled by MEL. This paper describes the construction and technical details of the MEL and presents data from the experiment in which a car chases city buses fuelled by diesel, CNG, and LPG. The diameters of most particles in the exhaust of the diesel city bus were less than 300 nm and most of the particles had a diameter of 30-60 nm. However, most particles in the exhaust of the CNG and LPG city buses were nanoparticles (diameter: less than 50 nm).

This paper describes to analyze the ventilation performance of a room air conditioner for indoor comfort control. An experimental apparatus consists of a test room, the room air conditioner, a tracer gas measurement system, a supply fan and a controller. Ventilation performance as a function of human occupancy is evaluated with supply ventilation air using a tracer gas technique of CO2 gas in the test room. The ventilation performance is evaluated in a step-down method based on ASTM Standard E741-83 and is found to increase with increasing supply ventilation rate. The CO2 gas concentration is decayed rapidly without human occupancy. The ventilation performance without human occupancy increases up to 55% and the ventilation performance with one person increases up to 25% at the supply air of 570 lpm comparing with a natural reduction after one hour. A modeling for ventilation performance of a room air conditioner in a test room is presented using experimental datum.

Interzonal air movements are important to characterize overall ventilation performance of complicated multi-zone buildings. Tracer gas techniques are widely used to measure ventilation rates, ventilation effectiveness, and interzonal air movements. Depending on the number of gases used, they are divided into single and multi tracer gas methods. This paper deals with the comparison of the tracer gas methods in measuring air exchange rate between rooms. Experiments have been conducted in a simple two-room model with known airflow rates. In multi-gas procedure, the concentration decays of two tracer gases, i.e SF6 and R134a are measured after simultaneous injections in each room. The single tracer gas method is also applied by injecting SF6 gas with a time lag between two rooms. The data reduction procedures are developed to obtain the interzonal airflow rate using the matrix inversion, and various data manipulation methods are tested, such as data shift, interpolation, and smoothing. Uncertainty for each airflow rate is investigated depending on the parameters based on the setting values.

The SARS virus began to appear and spread in North America and Southeast Asia in the early 2000' s, infecting and harming many people. In the process of examining the causes for the virus, studies on the airborne SARS virus and the way it spread were carried out mainly in the medical field. In the field of architecture, studies were done on the diffusion of air pollutants in buildings using gases such as $CO_2$, $N_2O$, or $SF_6$, but research on virus diffusion was limited. There were also explanations of only the diffusion process without accurate information and discussion on virus characteristics. The aim of this study is to analyze the physical characteristics of airborne virus, consider the possibility of using coupled analysis model and tracer gas for analyzing virus diffusion in building space and, based on reports of how the infection spread in a hospital where SARS patients were discovered, analyze infection risk using tracer gas density and also diffusion patterns according to the location, shape, and volume of supply diffusers and exhaust grilles. This paper can provide standards and logical principles for evaluating various alternatives for making decisions on vertical or horizontal ward placement, air supply and exhaust installation and air volumes in medium or high story medical facilities.
