This paper presents the experimental study of cabin thermal comfort using a cold storage heat exchanger in a vehicle air-conditioning system. Recent vehicle-applied ISG functions for fuel economy and emission, but when vehicles stop, compressors in the air-conditioning system stop, and the cabin temperature sharply increases, making passengers feel thermal discomfort. This study conducts thermal comfort evaluation in the vehicle, which is applied to a cold storage system for the climate control wind tunnel test and the vehicle fleet road test with various airflow volume rates and ambient temperatures blowing to the cold storage heat exchanger. The experimental results, in the cold storage system, air discharge temperature is $3.1-4.2^{\circ}C$ lower than current air-conditioning system when the compressor stops and provides cold air for at least 38 extra seconds. In addition, the blowing airflow volume to the cold storage heat exchanger with various ambient temperature was examined for the control logic of the cold storage system, and in the results, the airflow volume rate is dominant over the outside temperature. For this study, a cold storage system is economically useful to keep the cabin at a thermally comfortable level during the short period when the engine stops in ISG vehicles.

As the necessity of increasing the midnight base load is extensively increased, electric power companies have to increase the demand of midnight electrical power by lowering the electrical charge rate at midnight. One of the most widely used midnight equipments is the heat Storage type's electrical boiler. A Single chip microprocessor controller for the heat-storage type's electrical boiler is developed. This controller call reduce the undesirable peak load at the begining of midnight (i.e.11 P.M.) time band by using backward load control method. Futhermore, this controller enables reservation of heat storge and the effective heating control the field test has been done by use the boiler for 66$m^2$ with the heater of 21KW quality.

This study has been carried out to study the thermal performance of an all-glass type solar collector tube when a heat transfer medium is used with a heat storage unit capable of preventing pressure build-up within the tube. The heat storage unit is devised such that it performs the dual function of relieving excessive pressure and storing solar thermal energy. Different types of heat storage medium are tested under heat-up phase of a collector tube. It is found that the proposed unit could be used quite effectively if one wishes to capitalize more aggressively in harnessing the solar energy.

This study has been carried out to design a number of storage units which could improve the utilizability of solar energy by offering convenient means to store it. The proposed units are systematically tested to establish their reliability in actual operations. One of the prominent features of the present storage units is that each design is meant to drastically improve the thermal response of solar systems which would definitely offer extreme convenience to whoever uses it. Also sought in the present study is to elicit ideal operating conditions during the storage and extraction phases of solar energy once it is delivered to the storage unit. The present study has confirmed the potential use of the proposed units with their applicability in capitalizing the sun's energy.

For the efficient utilization of the solar thermal energy to overcome the time gap between to supply and demand, an efficient heat storage technique, especially high density-latent-heat storage system, is necessary. In this study, the performance of a panel type latent heat storage equipment during heat discharging process was analyzed theoretically and experimentally. In order to find out the performance of the system, computer simulation programs were developed by finite difference method. The governing equations were constructed by two dimensional heat conduction model with moving boundary. The results of the experimental and the theoretical analysis were reasonably well agreed. The efficiencies of the double pipe type and the panel type latent heat storage equipment were compared.

A greenhouse equipped with latent heat storage system was built to obtain various thermal properties, such as greenhouse air temperature, soil surface temperature, energy flow in latent heat storage, etc., which could be used in validation of greenhouse numerical model to be developed in this study. This numerical model expressed with Newton-Raphson method was programed by C-language and utilized to simulate greenhouse thermal behavior. Greenhouse air temperature and soil surface temperature predicted by the greenhouse model developed in this study were very close to the measured data obtained through almost 3 years of experiment. Therefore, it is concluded that the greenhouse model developed and verified by measured data could be utilized for simulating various thermal behaviors of greenhouses equipped with latent heat storage system to be used for energy saving purposes.

MLI(Multi-layer Insulation) is widely used to get highly insulating on cryogenic system in order to reduce heat loads. MLI for satellites thermal performance is changed by materials and laminated method. In this study, a composite multilayer insulation by application of heat stroage tank performance were compared with materials and laminated to change the way. Experimental methods of the KS C 9805 was used, the composite multilayer insulation and EPS was compared with the insulation performance. A method for analysis of experimental results is the equivalent thickness about CMI and the insulation performance were used to compare thermal conductance. As a results, the equivalnet thickenss and the thermal conductance of the composite multilayer insulation were smaller than the EPS and the thermal performance are more excellent. In addition, the configuration of the composite multilayer insulation materials and laminated method varies depending on the overall heat transfer coefficient was confirmed.

The performance of the flat-plate solar collector with rock-pile thermal storage medium and the drying characteristics of rough rice and red pepper by use of natural air and of supplementary heated air by the solar drier were studied. The thermal efficiency of the flat-plate solar collector was average 25.4 percent and the overall heattransfer coefficient of the collector was approximately $38.13kJ/hr.m^2^{\circ}C$. The flat-plate collector was able to supply the supplementary heated air which was about $7^{\circ}C$ higher than the ambient air temperature during the daytime and about $3^{\circ}C$ higher than during the night. For rough rice drying of grain moisture content front 24.5 to 14.5%, it took 18 days in the natural air system, 12 days in the tubular solar collector and 10 days in the flat-plate solar collector. For red pepper drying from it's moisture from 81.0 to 15.0%, 68 hrs required under conventional sun drying system, but 38 hrs in tubular solar collector and 36 hrs in the flateplate solar collector. The changes of capsanthin and capsaicine content were investigated at various drying system, and little difference was found among the drying system.

첨단산업으로 불리는 반도체, LCD, PDP, 유기EL(OLED) 등의 생산 공정은 고도의 청정상태를 요구하며, 때문에 이들의 생산공정 중 대부분이 클린룸 내에서 이루어진다. 클린룸 내에서의 주요공정은 크게 박막형성(Layering), 노광(Photo Lithography), 식각(Etching) 등 3가지 공정으로 나눌 수 있으며, 반도체 제조공정의 경우 특별히 도핑(Doping) 공정이 추가된다. 오염물질을 함유하는 클린룸 배기는 일반적으로 산, 알칼리, Toxic(PFCs, Flammable), VOC 등으로 분류하며, 각각의 배기는 각 배기특성에 맞는 오염제어 장치를 통해, 정화된 후, 대기로 방출된다. 산, 알칼리 배기는 일반적으로 최종 단계에서 중앙집중식 습식스크러버에 의해 흡수, 중화 처리되며, VOC의 경우 농축기(Concentrator) & 축열식 열 산화장치(RTO) 설비에 의해 연소 처리된다. 하지만 CVD공정으로부터의 배기가 주를 이루는 Toxic배기의 경우, 다량의 PFCs(과불소화합물) 가스를 함유하고 있는 이유로, 대부분 클린룸 내부에 P.O.U(Point of use) 처리장치가 설치되며, P.O.U에 의해 1차 처리된 후 최종적으로 중앙집중식 습식스크러버를 거쳐 대기로 방출된다. 알칼리배기의 주성분으로는 암모니아($NH_3$), HMDS (Hexa Methyl DiSilazane), TMAH (Tetra Methyl Ammonium Hydroxide), LGL, CD 등이며 흡수액에 황산(Sulfuric Acid)용액을 공급, 중화처리하고 있다. 탄소성분을 먹이로 하는 미생물의 번식에 의한 막힘 문제를 제외하고는 큰 문제가 없다. 하지만 Toxic배기 및 산배기의 경우 처리효율이, 가스흡수 이론에 의한 계산결과와 비교할 때, 매우 저조하게 나타나는 효율부족 현상을 겪고 있으며, 이는 잔여 PFCs 가스성분 및 반응에어로졸, 응축에어로졸 등의 영향으로 추정하고 있다. 최근 Toxic 배기의 경우, P.O.U 설비를 Burn & Wet type으로 변경하여, 배기 중 PFCs 및 반응에 에어로졸($SiO_2$)의 농도를 원천적으로 감소시키는 노력이 진행 중이다. 산배기의 경우, 산결로 현상에 의한, 응축에어로졸이 문제가 되고 있으나 내식열교환기(Anti-Corrosive Heat Exchanger), 하전액적스크러버 시스템(Charged Droplets Scrubber System), Wet ESP(Wet Electrostatic Procipitator) 등의 도입을 통해 문제해결을 위한 노력을 경주하고 있다.
