일반적으로 자동차용 냉각팬은 차랑 냉각기의 온도를 낮추기 위해 사용되고 있다. 자동차용 냉각팬은 플라스틱 사출 공정에 의해 제작되며 사출시 사용되는 모재의 불균일성으로 인해 냉각팬 날개의 무게 중심이 중심에서 벗어나는 경우가 발생하게 된다. 이러한 불균형은 자동차 소음의 주된 원인이 되기 때문에 이에 대한 검사는 필수적으로 요구된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 로드셀을 이용한 냉각팬 회전날개에서 발생되는 불균형의 위치 및 크기를 효율적으로 검출할 수 있는 팬 밸런서 시스템을 제안하고 제안된 시스템의 불평형 검출 성능 확인을 위해 실제 적용 실험을 수행하였다.

A fan is the most common air flow machinery and is being used in various different industries such as for heavy machinery, home appliances and automobile. An axial fan has blades that force air to move parallel to the shaft about which the blades rotate. This type of fan is used in a wide variety of applications, ranging from small cooling fans for electronics to the giant fans used in wind tunnels. An axial fan generating large air volume used to cool equipments, but is less efficient. A sirocco fan is a efficient device for moving air by centrifugal force and can generate high pressure. Fans that affect the performance and noise of a product are important components. It is also a time and budget consuming equipment to develop a fan through physical experiments. In order to overcome this problem, we have designed and developed a fan simulator for axial and sirocco fan's fluid analysis using supercomputer. Performance and noise prediction based on datamining without numerical analyses is also developed for the conceptual design of a fan.

An automotive engine cooling system is closely related with overall engine performances, such as reduction of fuel consumption, decrease of air pollution, and increase of engine life. Because of complex reaction between each component, the direct experiment, using a vehicle, takes high cost, long time, and slow response to the system change. Therefore, a computer simulation would provide the designer with an inexpensive and effective tool for design, development, and optimization of the engine cooling system over a wide range of operating conditions. In this work, it has been predicted the thermal performance of the engine cooling system in cases of stationary mode, constant speed mode, and city-drive mode by mathematical modelling of each component and numerical analysis. The components are engine, radiator, heater, thermostat, water pump, and cooling fans. Since the engine model is the most important, that is divided into eight sub-sections. The volume mean temperature of eight sub-sections are simultaneously calculated at a time. For detail calculation, the radiator and heater are also divided into many sub-sections like control volumes in finite difference method. Each sub-section is assumed to consist of three parts, coolant, tube with fin, and air. Hence it has been developed the simulation program that can be used in case of design and system configuration changes. The overall performance results obtained by the program were desirable and the time-traced tendencies of the results agreed fairly well with those of actual situations.

Axial fans are widely used in heavy machines due to their ability to produce high flow rate for cooling of engines. At the same time, the noise generated by these fans causes one of the most serious problems. This work is concerned with the low noise technique of discrete frequency noise. The prediction model, which allowed the calculation of acoustic pressure at the blade passing frequency and it's harmonics, has been developed by Farrasat. This theory is founded upon the acoustic radiation of unsteady forces acting on blade. To calculate the unsteady resultant force over the fan blade. Time-Marching Free-Wake Method are used. The ideas of low noise technique are obtained from Blade-Momentum Methods. In this paper, the discussion is confined to the performance and discrete noise of axial fan in heavy equipments.

Small axial fans have become widely used as cooling devices in recent years. Because of their increasing importance, studies have been conducted on ways to improve the performance and reduce the noise of such fans. In this report, a small axial fan with a diameter of 85 mm (a type popularity used in personal computer or workstation) was selected for further examination. The influence on aerodynamic performance and noise of such frame design parameters as blade tip clearance results in a decrease of discrete frequency noise and an increase of broad-spectrum noise. As for the most suitable design refinement in terms of fan efficiency, we found that the treatment of outlet corner roundness and altering spoke skew to the direction counter to that of fan rotation was effective.

Automobile cooling fans are operated with a radiator module. To design low noise, high performance cooling fan, radiator resistance should be considered in the design process. The system (radiator) resistance reduces axial velocity and increases effective angle of attack. This increasing effective angle of attack mechanism causes blade stall, performance decrease and noise increase. In this paper, To analyze fan performance, freewake and 3D CFD calculations are used To design high performance fan with consideration of system resistance, optimal twist concept is applied through momentum and blade element theory. To predict fan noise, empirical formula and acoustic analogy methods are used.

A transformer is a device that changes the current and voltage by electricity induced between coil and core steel, and it is composed of metals and insulating materials. In the core of the transformer, the thermal load is generated by electric loss and the high temperature can make the break of insulating. So we must cool down the temperature of transformer by external radiators. According to cooling fan's usage, there are two cooling types, OA(Oil Natural Air Natural) and FA(Oil Natural Air Forced). For this study, we used Fluent 6.2 and analyzed the cooling characteristic of radiator. we calculated 1-fin of detail modeling that is similar to honeycomb structure and multi-fin(18-fin) calculation for OA and FA types. For the sensitivity study, we have different positions(side, under) of cooling fans for forced convection of FA type. The calculation results were compared with the measurement data which obtained from 135.45/69kV ultra transformer flowrate and temperature test. The aim of the study is to assess the Fluent code prediction on the radiator calculation and to use the data for optimizing transformer radiator design.

This paper reports on a prototype cooling garment applying a cooling module. The cooling module was composed of a Peltier device, a cold sink, a heat sink and two fans. A constant box was used to evaluate the cooling effect of the module. Two cooling modules were attached on each side of the garment. The wear trial was conducted using 10 male subjects in an environmental chamber maintained at $30{\pm}0.5^{\circ}C$, $50{\pm}5%$RH. Subjective sensations of thermal, humidity, and comfort were surveyed. Statistical package SPSS12.0 was used for the t-test and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The results showed that most effective cooling module decreased the temperature of the constant temperature box by $-4.9^{\circ}C$. The micro-temperature of the cooling garment with a Peltier device was lower than the control garment during the exercise. In particular, the chest skin temperature was $1.5^{\circ}C$ lower with the cooling garment than the control. The maximum temperature difference was $-2.57^{\circ}C$ on the sides of the $1^{st}$ layer. Subjective thermal sensation from wear trials of the Peltier device attached garment was lower than the control garment. Subjects felt more comfortable with the cooling garment in almost all the periods.

본 연구는 권취식 측창을 갖는 아치형 단동 플라스틱 온실 내 강제환기장치 설치 및 운용, 환기 성능 개선방안 등을 제안하기 위해 온실 내부에 유동팬과 배기팬을 설치하여 강제환기장치 사용에 따른 온실 내부기온 강하 특성을 정량적으로 조사하였다. 시험은 3가지 환기 조건(측창, 측창+순환팬, 측창+순환팬+배기팬)에서 수행되었다. 각 조건 데이터로거를 이용하여 환기 시작과 동시에 온실 내외부 기온 및 외부환경 변화를 측정·기록하였고, 환기 방식별 기온차 변화의 평균값으로 부터 정규기온차를 계산하여 기온 강하 효과를 비교하였다. 오전(11:00-12:00)에는 환기 방식에 상관없이 환기 초반 정규기온차가 일시적으로 증가했다가 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 강제환기장치가 더 많이 사용될수록 최대 정규기온차는 1.158에서 1.037로 감소하였고 최대 정규기온차에 도달하는 시간도 340초에서 110초로 단축되었다. 강제환기장치의 사용은 정규기온차가 0.8까지 감소하는데 소요된 시간을 1,030초에서 550초로, 0.6까지는 1,610초에서 915초로, 0.4까지는 2,315초에서 1,360초로, 자연환기의 약60% 수준으로 감소시켰다. 오후(14:00-15:00)에는 정규기온차의 증가가 관측되지 않았지만, 환기 시작과 동시에 기온차가 감소하기 시작했다. 또한 강제환기장치가 더 많이 사용될수록 정규기온차가 0.8까지 내려가는 시간을 560초에서 345초로, 0.6까지는 825초에서 540초로, 0.4까지는 560초에서 345초로, 약70% 수준으로 감소시켰다. 따라서, 보다 효과적이고 경제적인 환기를 위해 강제환기장치는 오전과 같이 열부하가 높은 환경에서 적극적으로 사용하는 것이 바람직하다고 판단된다.
