본 연구의 최종 목표는 실내의 공간과 식물바이오필터의 규모에 따라 실내공기 오염물질을 정화할 수 있는 식물 녹화와 자동관수 그리고 생물학적 여과 기능을 통합한 식물바이오필터 시스템의 개발이다. 본 연구는 가습 주기에 따른 벽면형(수직형) 식물바이오필터내 공기 흐름의 특성에 대한 안정성과 미세먼지 제거율을 비교하고, 이 식물바이오필터에 의한 휘발성 유기화합물의 제거율을 조사하기 위해 수행하였다. 본 실험에 사용된 식물바이오필터는 실내 공간 활용에 적합하도록 물펌프, 물탱크, 송풍기, 가습장치, 그리고 다층구조의 식물 식재 공간을 일체형으로 설계하였다. 실험 결과, 물펌프에 의해 작동하는 세 가지 다른 가습 주기 처리에 관계없이 식물바이오필터의 상대습도, 온도, 그리고 토양 수분 함량은 안정된 값을 나타내었다. 토양 수분 함량은 모든 가습 주기 처리에서 27.1-29.7%의 범위에서 안정적으로 유지하였으며, 특히 15분 작동 45분 작동 중지의 가습 주기를 120시간 동안 처리하여 $29.0{\pm}0.2%$의 평균 토양 수분 함량을 유지하면서 가장 수평적인 일차회귀식(y = 0.0008x + 29.09)을 보여주었다. 가습 주기에 따라 식물바이오필터를 통과한 미세먼지(PM10)와 초미세먼지(PM2.5) 입자 수에 대한 제거율(RE)은 각각 82.7-89.7%와 65.4-73.0% 범위에 있었고, PM10의 무게에 대한 RE는 58.1-78.9%의 범위에 있었다. 식물바이오필터를 통과한 자일렌, 에틸벤젠, 총 휘발성 유기화합물, 톨루엔의 RE는 71.3-75.5%의 범위에 있었으나, 벤젠과 포름알데히드의 RE는 각각 39.7%와 44.9%로 나타났다. 따라서 실내식물을 식재할 수 있는 본 벽면형 식물바이오필터는 실내 공기 정화에 매우 효과가 있는 것으로 확인하였다.

A review on the papers published in the Korean Journal of Air-Conditioning and Refrigerating Engineering in 1998 and 1999 has been done. Focus has been put on current status of research in the aspect of heating, cooling, ventilation, sanitation and building environment. The conclusions are as follows. 1) A review of the recent studies on fluid flow, turbomachinery and pipe-network shows that many experimental investigations are conducted in applications of impingement jets. Researches on turbulent flows, pipe flows, pipe-networks are focused on analyses of practical systems and prediction of system performance. The results of noise reduction in the turbomachinery are also reported. 2) A review of the recent studies on heat transfer analysis and heat exchanger shows that there were many papers on the channel flow with the application to the design of heat exchanger in the heat transfer analysis. Various experimental and numerical papers on heat exchanger were also published, however, there were few papers available for the analysis of whole system including heat exchanger. 3) A review of the recent studies on heat pump system have focused on the multi-type system and the heat pump cycle to utilize treated sewage as the heat source. The defrosting and the frosting behaviors in the fin-tube heat exchanger is experimentally examined by several authors. Several papers on the ice storage cooling system are presented to show the dynamic simulation program and optimal operation conditions. The study on the micro heat pipes for the cooling of high power electronic components is carried out to examine the characteristics of heat and mass transfer processed. In addition to these, new type of separate thermosyphon is studied experimentally. 4) The recent studies on refrigeration/air conditioning system have focused on the system performance and efficiency for new alternative refrigerants. New systems operating with natural refrigerants are drawing lots of attention. In addition to these, evaporation and condensation heat transfer characteristics of traditional and new refrigerants are investigated for plain tubes and also for microfin tubes. Capillary tubes and orifice are main topics of research as expansion devices and studies on thermophysical properties of new refrigerants and refrigerant/oil mixtures are widely carried out. 5) A review of the recent studies on absorption cooling system shows that numerous experimental and analytical studies on the improvement of absorber performance have been presented. Dynamic analysis of compressor have been performed to understand its vibration characteristics. However research works on tow-phase flow and heat transfer, which could be encountered in the refrigeration system and various phase-change heat exchanger, were seemed to be insufficient. 6) A review of recent studies on duct system shows that the methods for circuit analysis, and flow balancing have been presented. Researches on ventilation are focused on the measurement of ventilation efficiency, and variation of ventilation efficiency with ventilation methods by numerous experimental and numerical studies. Furthermore, many studies have been conducted in real building in order to estimate indoor thermal environments. Many research works to get some information for cooling tower design have been performed but are insufficient. 7) A review on the recent studies on architectural thermal environment and building mechanical systems design shows that thermal comfort analysis is sitting environment, thermal performance analysis of Korean traditional building structures., and evaluation of building environmental load have been performed. However research works to improve the performance of mechanical system design and construction technology were seemed to be insufficient.
