ORC system was designed and constructed for utilizing the heat of the exhaust gas and coolant released from the gas engine which was modified to use natural gas as a fuel. In this paper the components of the ORC system were designed and manufactured based on measured data of the gas engine. The components are composed of two plate heat exchanger, the 5kW-class expander and multi stage centrifugal pump. The thermodynamic performance of the ORC system was analyzed by using the electric heater. Also, the developed ORC system was implemented to modified natural gas engine. Two gas engines were used to supply heat to the ORC system. As a result of test bench, when the heat source temperature is $110^{\circ}C$ expander shaft power, the pressure ratio and cycle efficiency is 5.22kW, 7.41, 9.09%. As a result of field test, when the heat source temperature is $86^{\circ}C$ expander shaft power, the pressure ratio and cycle efficiency is 2kW, 3.75, 6.45%.

Currently, residential air conditioners operate as a heat pump during winter. In this case, the outdoor heat exchanger acts as an evaporator obtaining heat from cold air. On the other hand, it acts as a condenser during summer transferring heat to hot air. The outdoor temperature changes significantly from high to low. Generally, the air-side j and f factors are obtained at a standard outdoor temperature. Therefore, the applicability of the j and f factors under different outdoor conditions needs to be checked. In this study, tests were conducted for a two-row louver finned heat exchanger changing the outdoor temperature to subzero. The effects of the tube-side brine flow rate were also checked. The results showed that air-side j and f factors were essentially constant and independent of the outdoor temperature, suggesting that an extension of j and f factors obtained under standard conditions to a low outdoor temperature is acceptable. All j and f factors agreed within 9% and 3%, respectively. Tests were also conducted by changing the coolant flow rate. Both the j and f factors did not change according to the flow rate, suggesting that the tube-side heat transfer correlation is acceptable.

A remote monitoring panel and control system was developed to control various valves and access control chambers, including gas shutoff valves used in CBR(Chemical, Biological and Radiological) facilities. The remote monitoring panel consisted of a main panel installed in the NBC (Nuclear, Biological and Chemical) control room and auxiliary panel installed in the clean room, and the size was divided into pure control and control including CCTV. This system can be monitored and controlled remotely according to the situation where an explosion door and gas barrier door can occur during war and during normal times. This system is divided into normal mode and war mode. In particular, it periodically senses the operation status of various valves, sensors, and filters in the CBR facilities to determine if each apparatus and equipment is in normal operation, and remotely alerts situation workers when repair or replacement is necessary. Damage due to the abnormal operation of each device in the situation can be prevented. This enables control of the blower, supply and exhaust damper, emergency generator, and coolant pump according to the state of shutoff valve and positive pressure valve in the occurrence of NBC, and prevents damage caused by abrupt inflow of conventional weapons and nuclear explosions.
