A dual loop waste heat recovery system with Rankine steam cycles for the improvement of fuel efficiency of gasoline vehicles has been investigated. A high temperature loop (HT loop) only recovers the heat of the exhaust gas. A low temperature loop (LT loop) recovers the residual heat from the HT loop, the coolant heat and the remaining exhaust gas heat. The two separate loops are coupled with a heat exchanger. This paper has dealt with a layout of the dual loop system, the review of the working fluids, and the design of the cycle. The design point and the target heat recovery of the HT boiler, a core part of a HT loop, have been presented. The prototype of the HT boiler was evaluated by experiment. For the performance evaluation of the HT boiler, inlet temperature of the HT boiler working fluid was set equal to the temperature degree of sub-cool of $5^{\circ}C$ at the condensing pressure. The exit condition was the degree of super-heat set at $5^{\circ}C$. The characteristics of the HT boiler such as heat recovery and pressure drops of fluids were evaluated with varying flow rates and inlet temperatures of exhaust gas under various evaporating pressure conditions.

This paper discusses the thermodynamic study on the suction cooling-steam injected gas turbine cycle. The aim of this study is to improve the thermal efficiency and the specific output by steam injection produced by the waste heat from the waste heat recovery boiler and by cooling compressor inlet air by an ammonia absorption-type suction cooling system. The operating region of this newly devised cycle depends upon the pinch point limit and the outlet temperature of refrigerator. The higher steam injection ratio and the lower the evaporating temperature of refrigerant allow the higher thermal efficiency and the specific output. The optimum pressure ratios and the steam injection ratios for the maximum thermal efficiency and the specific output can be found. It is evident that this cycle considered as one of the most effective methods which can obtain the higher thermal efficiency and the specific output comparing with the conventional simple cycle and steam injected gas turbine cycle.

Recently, due to limitation of $CO_2$ gas emission and increase of demand to reduce energy consumption, lots of researches are conducted to harvest wasted heat energy with a thermoelectric module to produce electricity by Seebeck effect. This study was conducted to analyze characteristics of the thermoelectric module to apply for a heat energy harvesting device. Thermoelectric module composed of bismuth telluride was tested with various temperature conditions to analyze thermoelectric behavior of the module. Power generation efficiency of the thermoelectric module for various temperature condition was analysed with both experimental and theoretical methods. From the results, an optimum condition to harvest wasted heat energy with the thermoelectric module more efficiently was proposed.

Research into exhaust heat recovery has been actively carried out to improve the thermal efficiency of internal combustion engines. In this study, the performance of thermoelectric generation from exhaust heat recovery for motorcycle engines was analyzed by 1-D thermo-fluid simulation. GT-SUITE, which was developed by Gamma Tech., was used for the simulation of the internal combustion engine and thermoelectric generation system. The basic performance of the engine was analyzed in the range of engine speed of 1000~7000 rpm and engine load of 0~100%. The ratio of exhaust heat energy to fuel chemical energy was found to be about 40~60%. A combined simulation of the engine model and thermoelectric generation model was carried out to analyze the voltage, current and power generated by the thermoelectric material. The generation characteristics of the thermoelectric material was dominantly affected by the exhaust gas temperature. The maximum generated power of the current thermoelectric generation system was found to be about 2.2% of the total exhaust heat energy. The design optimization of the thermoelectric generation system will be carried out to maximize its power generation and economic feasibility.

열병합 발전이란 한가지의 에너지원을 열원으로 하여 2가지 이상의 동력을 회수하는 방법을 말하며 회수에너지는 고급에너지인 전기가 주가 되고 이 때 발생되는 폐열은 회수하여 증기, 난방용 온수, 냉방용 냉수로 이용할 수 있어 총 효율이 70 ∼ 80%에 달하는 방식이다. 열병합 발전은 규모에 따라 목동열병합과 같은 쓰레기 소각로 이용형, 분당, 일산 등과 같이 지역난방과 연결할 수 있는 가스터빈, 증기터빈 조합형인 복합 열병합형의 대형열병합과 각 산업체 공장에서 전기 및 공장 Process 증기 생산을 주목적으로 하는 중형 열병합과, 조선호텔, 신라호텔, 상공회의소등과 같이 Hotel, 병원, 사무실 등에서 주로 이용하는 소형 열병합으로 분류할 수 있다.

서울시는 최근 자원회수시설에서 쓰레기 소각 시 발생하는 질소산화물 저감방식을 개선해 매년 54억원의 예산을 절감하게 됐다고 밝혔다. 이번 아이디어는 독일 쉬텔링거 모어 소각장의 열교환시스템을 벤치마킹한 것으로 마포 자원회수시설 담당 공무원(김창환 주무관)이 지난 해 6월 독일을 방문한 뒤 제안하면서 탄생하게 됐다. 개선 방식은 질소산화물을 제거하기 위해 설치된 SCR촉매탑의 가온시스템을 LNG를 이용한 닥터버너 방식에서 '소각증기 사용 열교환 방식'으로 전환시킨 것이다.

In this study, low temperature waste heat recovery heat exchanger was developed using a principle of self-excited oscillating heat pipe. The heat exchanger of serpentine type was composed of extruded flat aluminum tube with 6 channels (3 nm$\times$ 2.75nm) and louvered fin. The heat transfer area density of heat exchanger was $331.9 m^2/m^3$. Working fluid is R141b and charge ratio was 40% by volume. Heat transfer rate and the effectiveness of heat exchanger was primary concern of this study. As a result, the effectiveness of heat exchanger was about 0.4-0.67, and recovered waste heat rate was about 4.5 kW per one unit of heat exchanger.

Waste heat recovery system was studied numerically and experimentally. Heat exchanger system was designed specially to obtain the optimum heat exchanging performance. Brushwood biomass was used for the present experimental study. Two biomass heat recovery systems were designed and developed. Polyethylene helical pipe line of 0.03 m (inner diameter) was installed to recover the heat of biomass dump. The fermentation process of biomass dump was maintained for 12 weeks. The inner average temperature of biomass was about 51$^{\circ}C$ for both hot exchanger systems. The current heat recovery system could recover up to 6 ㎉/kg of energy.
