Recently international cooperations are formed to deal with the environmental pollution of the atmosphere generated by the vapor compression refrigeration system. A refrigeration technique, which can replace existing CFC refrigerants that are the main cause of environmental contamination, has received greater attention. Magnetic refrigeration is a refrigeration technique using the magnetocaloric effect of the magnetic material, and is an eco-friendly refrigeration technology using the solid refrigerant instead of CFC refrigerants. Also it is regarded as an efficient refrigeration system to generate temperature difference between high and low sides using the temperature change of magnetic refrigerants according to the change of magnetic field, instead of using power-consuming and noisy compressor. In this paper, we introduce the magnetic refrigeration apparatus using concentric Halbach cylinder permanent magnets and the experimental results using the apparatus.

Cleaning process is necessary for machining parts or manufacturing finished products in the industry. Most of domestic and foreign companies are now trying to adopt environment-friendly aqueous cleaning agents instead of CFC-113 and 1,1,1-TCE which are ozone-depleting substances. However, the aqueous cleaning system has a disadvantage due to its generation of lots of waste water since the system utilizes water in cleaning and rinsing processes. Thus, it is very important that monitoring and recycling technologies of the cleaning solution and the rinse water should be introduced in the aqueous cleaning system in order to minimize generation of waste water and to maintain its cleaning performance for a quite long time. In this paper, the cleaning agents utilized in the aqueous cleaning system and cutting oils which are main contaminants were examined and analyzed. And the monitoring and recycling technologies of the aqueous cleaning system which can be employed in the industrial fields were also reviewed and evaluated.

In most of industrial fields, cleaning is employed for removing soils on their products or parts. Halogenated cleaning agents such as CFC-113, 1,1,1-TCE(1,1,1-trichloroethane), MC(methylene chloride) and TCE (trichloroethylene) have been used as cleaning ones in most of companies in the world since their excellent performance of cleaning ability and good material compatibility. However, CFC-113 and 1,1,1-TCE which are ozone destruction substances are not used any more in the advanced countries because of the which are ozone destruction substances are not used any more in the advanced countries because of the Montreal protocol. MC and TCE are now used restrictively at small part of industrial fields in most of countries since they are known to be hazardous or carcinogenic materials. Thus, it is indispensible that the alternative cleaning agents which are environmental-friendly and safe, and show good cleaning ability should be developed or utilized for replacement of the halogenated cleaning agents. Aqueous/semi-aqueous cleaning agents are evaluated to be promising alternative ones among various alternatives in environmental and economical view point. In this study, commercially available 12 aqueous and 6 semi-aqueous cleaning agents were selected and their physical properties, cleaning abilities, rinsing abilities and recycling of contaminated rinse water were measured and analyzed. Aqueous cleaning agents with higher wetting index showed better cleaning ability compared with those with lower wetting index. However wetting index did not have any correlation with cleaning ability in semi-aqueous cleaning agents. It was observed that soil concentration in aqueous and semi-aqueous cleaning agents should be maintained below the certain concentrations which depend on types of clearing agents. More than 70% soils in contaminated rinse water by some of aqueous and semi-aqueous clearing agents could be separated by simple settling method. This means that some cleaning agents with high oil-water separation efficiency will be effiective for recycling oil-contaminated rinse water. It was found that contaminated rinse water with aqueous agents was purified easiy by ultrafiltration method with PAN membrane of 30 kDa.

For Freon-23, a conventional extinguished agent regulated by Montreal Protocol and HFC-227ea, its alternative, the empirical equations were correlated in terms of saturated pressure, density, viscosity, enthalpy and surface tension. They were obtained by regression analysis from the experimental data in the literature. The empirical equations of saturated pressure were expressed as the second and third order function of temperature. The empirical equation of density was expressed as compressibility factor and saturated pressure by a function of temperature. The empirical equation of viscosity was formulated as a power function. Heat capacities as well as enthalpies were well fitted by empirical form of the second-order temperature. Finally, surface tension simply has linear function form in terms of temperature.

(HFC(hydrofluorocarbon, 수소불화탄소)는 오존층 파괴 지수가 낮기 때문에 CFC(chlorofluorocarbon)의 대체 물질로 냉매와 발포제로 널리 사용되고 있는 물질이다. 하지만 HFC는 지구온난화 지수가 높은 기체이므로 대기중으로 방출되는 것을 막기 위해 분리/회수하여 재활용하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 공기와 HFC의 혼합기체로부터 HFC만을 분리해 내는 방법으로 가스 하이드레이트 형성법을 제안하였다. 이 방법의 열역학적 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 질소+HFC-134a 혼합기체에 대하여 275-285 K의 온도 범위와 1-27 bar의 압력범위에 걸쳐서 가스 하이드레이트 상평형을 측정하였다. 질소는 가스 하이드레이트를 형성하기 위하여 0 $^{\circ}C$에서 150 bar 이상의 높은 압력이 필요한 반면 HFC-134a는 대기압에 가까운 낮은 압력이 필요하다. 두 기체의 평형 압력의 차가 크다는 것은 가스 하이드레이트 형성법을 이용할 경우 기체의 분리 효율이 매우 높다는 것을 나타낸다. 그리고, 본 실험을 통해서 얻어진 혼합기체의 하이드레이트상(H)-액상($L_W$)-기상(V)의 3상 평형선이 순수한 HFC-134a의 3상 평형선에 가깝게 위치하였다. 이는 가스 하이드레이트를 이용한 분리법이 낮은 압력에서 운전될 수 있음을 나타낸다. 이 분리법은 낮은 압력에서 운전되어 경제적일 뿐만 아니라 물 이외의 다른 매개체를 사용하지 않기 때문에 환경 친화적인 공정이라 할 수 있다.

To prevent ozone depletion caused by CFCs, the replacement of Halon with clean agents has been developed in the fire protection field along with refrigerants, detergents, and foaming agents. The alternatives for Halon 1211 have been developed in the portable fire extinguisher area and HCFC-123 is used widely as a clean fire extinguishing agent. The type of expellant gas is important because their own vapor pressure is low. In this study, HCFC-123, HCFC-124, HFC-125, and Novec-1230 were selected as fire extinguishing agents and CO₂, which is expected to improve the fire extinguishing ability, was chosen as the expellant gas. For each agent, experiments changing the agent and CO₂ amount were carried out and HCFC-123 showed a good result, as expected. The extinguisher, HCFC-123 of 1.5 kg, showed the same ability to suppress a class A and B fire as the extinguisher, HCFC-123 of 2.5 kg, which is currently sold on the market. According to this result, the expellant gas has a subsidiary fire extinguish effect. This can reduce the amount of HCFC fire extinguishing agent, which is categorized in the phase-out alternatives, and is a more eco-friendly and economical fire extinguisher than the previous one. This study can also help solve the problems of CO₂ fire extinguishers for class B and C fires, and can be used to extinguish electric and electron facilities fire, which contains large amounts of class A fire combustibles.

Kyoto Protocol, adopted in 1997, set the obligation to reduce $CO_2$, $CH_4$, $N_2O$, HFCs, PFCs, and $SF_6$ in developed countries during 1st promised period. $SF_6$ has been drawing a lot of attention since the Kyoto Protocol because once it is released into the atmosphere, it not only stays in the atmosphere for more than 3,200 years but also emits 22,800 times stronger global warming potential at the same concentrations as $CO_2$ if remains in the atmosphere for 100 years. This study introduces 12 methods for $SF_6$ of measuring trace. $SF_6$ of trace level in the atmosphere correctly, the measurement method was changed and as a result, when the back flush method was applied to the pre-concentration system that used low-temperature concentration and high-temperature desorption system, which used Carboxen-1000 adsorption trap, the effect was the best.
