The optimization of cooling system parameters for designing injection mold is very important to acquire the highest part quality. In this paper, the integration of computer simulations of injection molding and Analysis of Variance(ANOVA) with orthogonal array was used as a design tool to optimize the cooling system parameters aimed at minimizing the part warpage. The design optimizer was applied to find the optimum levels of cooling system parameters for a dustpan. This optimization resulted in more uniform temperature distribution over the part and significant reduction of a part warpage, showing the capability of present method as an effective design tool. The whole optimization process was performed systematically in a proper number of cooling simulations. The design optimizer can be utilized effectively in the industry practice for designing mold cooling system with less cost and time.

To reduce the peak demand the promotion of gas cooling(absorption chillers and GHPs) is required. In this study the effect of electric power peak-cut has been analyzed using two methods. One is based on monthly LNG consumption data and the other is using the gas cooling capacity installed. Both methods agreed well with each other within the uncertainty of 20%. It was found that the gas cooling had the peak cut effect of 1,500-2,000 MW for recent 5 years (2003 - 2007). The ratio of gas cooling to the whole cooling demand was 12-15%, which is needed to be increased.

The cutting process of cage motor rotor require high precision and good roughness, the surface roughness fo cutting face is very important factor with effect on the magnetic flux density of cage motor rotor. The paper describes a cause of decrease in the cutting force and roughness on low temperature cooling tool by means of analysis on the mechanism of force system at cutting condition and experimental findings. The main results as compared with the room temperature cutting are as follow : 1) The cutting resistance decreased due to low temperature cooling tool. 2) The surface roughness decreased due to low temperature cooling tool. 3) The low temperature cooling tool effected machinability of the cutting direction in machined surface. 4) The low temperature cooling decreased burr of corner in feed direction.

The present investigation was made to abtain a fine distribution of Pb Particles in AL - Pb binary alloys , which have a broad miscibility gap and large specific difference, by means of rapid Cooling of the molten alloys. Al-2.4% Pb, Al-5.5wt% Pb and Al-8.0wt % Pb alloy were used. The rapid cooling operation was performed by free falling of homogeneous liquid Al-Ph alloys into the water-cooled copper mold, and thermal analysis was made. Microstructures were observed, and variations of size and number of Pb particles were analysicle analyzer. By the result of examination with the varing cooling rates 100 to $210^{\circ}C/sec$ fine distributions of Pb particles were obtained with high cooling rate. Under same cooling condition, the best rapid cooling effect was recognized in Al-5.5wt% Pb alloy.

The injection mold cooling circuit optimization was studied with a response surface method in the previous research. It took so much time to find an optimum solution for a large product due to an extensive amount of calculation time for the CAE analysis. In order to use the optimization technique in the actual design process, the calculation time should be much reduced. In this study, we tried to reduce the number of design variables with the concept of the close relationship between the depth and the distance of cooling channel. The optimum ratio of the distance to the depth of cooling channels for a 2-dimensional problem was 2.0 so that the optimum ratio was again sought out for 4 large automotive parts. Therefore, the number of design variables for the cooling circuit optimization can be reduced in half, resulting in much faster running time for the optimization as a design tool.

A sorption cool pad brings cooling effect without any pre-cooling, nor any external energy supply. It uses evaporative cooling effect stimulated by the desiccative sorption. In this paper, heat and mass transfer in the sorption cool pad are investigated theoretically. The evaporative cooling process caused by the desiccant is modeled and analyzed considering the sorption characteristics of the desiccant. Two nondimensional parameters are found to dominate the cooling process： one is related to the psychrometric characteristics and the other is to the sorption capacity of the desiccant. The former decides the time to reach the lowest temperature and the later controls the time duration of the cooling effect being sustained.

The present paper describes numerical predictions for the film cooling effectiveness from a row of hole at various injection ratios and injection alngles.Numerical calculations were performed to investigate film cooling effectiveness and the characteristics of flow and temperature distributions in the region near the downstream of injection hole including the region of adverse pressure gradient. The elliptic 3-dimensional governing equations with variable thermal properties were solved by SIMPLE algorithm. The results showed that the presence of adverse pressure gradient in the region near the downstream of injection hole induces large temperature gradient. At injection angle of $35^{\circ}$ the average film cooling effectiveness was increased as increased of injection ratio up to 1.0. At injection angle of $90^{\circ}$ however, the average film cooling effectiveness was decreased from injection ratio larger than 0.4.

Numerical design optimization of a fan-shaped hole for film-cooling has been carried out to improve film-cooling effectiveness by combining a three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes analysis with the radial basis neural network method, a well known surrogate modeling technique for optimization. The injection angle of hole, lateral expansion angle of hole and ratio of length-to-diameter of the hole are chosen as design variables and spatially averaged film-cooling effectiveness is considered as an objective function which is to be maximized. Twenty training points are obtained by Latin Hypercube sampling for three design variables. Sequential quadratic programming is used to search for the optimal point from the constructed surrogate. The film-cooling effectiveness has been successfully improved by the optimization with increased value of all design variables as compared to the reference geometry.

The objectives of this study are to analyze the application of radiant floor cooling and to evaluate the control methods through experiments when the radiant heating system is used for cooling. Through the experiment analysis the control methods such as on/off control, variable flow control and outdoor reset with indoor temperature feedback control are evaluated and compared. The cooling curve (reset ratio) is found for radiant cooling, which shows tole relation between outside air temperature and supply water temperature. Comparison of cooling methods shows that outdoor reset with indoor temperature feedback control is more appropriate than on/off control and variable flow control with regard to prevention of the condensation and thermal comfort.
