The performance of HFO-1234yf as a substitute for R-134a was evaluated in a household freezer/refrigerator. A series of tests such as 'refrigerant charging test, pull-down test, cooling speed test, and energy consumption test were carried out under the AHAM (Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers) standard. The results of a drop-in test were compared with those of a test conducted using R-134a. A test under a severe ambient air condition ($43^{\circ}C$) was also conducted. The result shows that the refrigeration cycle performance of HFO-1234yf is as good as that of R-134a ; however, the diameter of capillary tube should be increased in order to improve its performance in the cooling speed test.

This paper proposes photovoltaic thermal hybrid module to get the electrical and thermal performance of building integrated photovoltaic(BIPV) system. BIPV system is decreased the system efficiency because output of PV is decreased by the thermal rising on generating. In order to improve the efficiency of BIPV module, water cooling system is applied and generated thermal is used the warm water system. Water cooling system uses the flux control algorithm considering water temperature and power loss. Electrical and thermal performance of proposed photovoltaic thermal hybrid module is confirmed through the actual experiment and herby proved the valid of this paper.

The induction motor is used for driving the special equipments such as warship and submarine pump due to robust structure and simple maintenance. Domestic and foreign warships use a wide range of voltages and the DC voltage sources mainly from battery. In the low voltage level, the ${\Delta}$-connection operation of induction motor can be used for the maximum power. However, the temperature of the inverter increases because of the high input current. On the other hand, Y-connection operation of the induction motor does not cause a problem of temperature because of the low input current compared to the ${\Delta}$-connection. But the lack of the supply voltage can not be avoided. Therefore, this paper suggests the algorithm of the optimum field weakening control to extend the operating range of the induction motor with maximum power in a limited thermal and DC voltage condition.

This paper presents the performance of a water-to-refrigerant type ground source heat pump (GSHP) system installed in a school building in Korea. For analyzing the performance of the GSHP system, we monitored various operating conditions, including the outdoor temperature, the ground temperature, and the input power of the GSHP system. The average cooling coefficient of performance (COP) of the heat pump was found to be 8.5 at 60% partial load condition, while the overall system COP was found to be 5.9. The average heating COP of the heat pump was found to be 6.5 at 45% partial load condition, while the overall system COP was found to be 5.0.

The one of important requisites for fabricating molecular electronic device is the single crystal direction of bottom substrate nowadays. [1,2]. We obtain the optimum SAM result when the Au crystal is <111> structure for Self-Assembled molecular. To get the <111> crystal Au, we generally repeat heating and cooling course after evaporating Au [3]. However, we can fabricate <111> crystal Av thin film except post treatment because we simultaneously evaporate and anneal using Effusion Cell. In this paper, we study on thin film growth of <111> crystal Au as bottom electrode which is essential for Self-Assembled molecular by Effusion Cell and analyze crystal structure, thickness, surface conductivity and so on as each process condition.

We manufactured a micro CPL by LlGA process, a new conceptual ultra-fine and precise forming method, using X-ray lithography process. We fabricated a BN X-ray mask having properties of good X-ray transmittance and large mechanical strength. Micro CPL was manufactured by dividing into an upper plate and a low plate. Each of plates was bonded by Ag paste screen printing. The upper plate was fabricated on glass wafer to observe flow and phase transformation of cooling solution. The lower plate was manufactured by Cu electroplating for good heat transmission. Precision of inner Parts, micro pin and micro channel, of manufactured micro CPL is under ${\pm}2{\mu}m$.

The study is conducted to study a new, optimum and new and renewable energy application method that can cover the minimum energy and operation costs within a range of school budgets. By deriving the optimum application method, it is expected to maximize the cooling/heating and hot water supply energy saving efficiencies for educational facilities. Therefore, this research implemented a study on the new and renewable energy utilization technique diffusion expansion method and the optimum method. As a result, the first optimum plan was introduced with the multi-type geothermal heat pump 475.6 kW+highly efficient electronic cooling/heating device(EHP) 545.2 kW. On the other hand, the second optimum plan was induced as the multi-type geothermal heat pump 261kW+solar heat collector $240\;m^2$+highly efficient electronic cooling/heating device(EHP) 759.8 kW.

This paper is the study for the directional solidification of the ingot through the thermal analysis simulation and structural change of casting furnace. The activation analysis of metal impurities were also detected the total number of 10 different metals, but the concentration distribution showed no significant positional deviations in the same position from the top to the bottom. With the results of thermal analysis simulation, the silicon as a whole has reached the melting temperature as the retention time 80 min. The best cooling conditions showed at the upper cooling temperature $1,400^{\circ}C$ and cooling time 60min. The fabricated wafers showed the superior etching result at the grain boundary than that of existing commercial wafers.

Multi A/C is consisted of one outdoor unit and several indoor units. When the Multi Air conditioner is installed, we have to be cautious of the length of pipe arrangements. When the pipe arrangement is installed with unbalance or too long, there can be cooling capacity losses and low EER. An experimental study was carried out about the operation characteristic of Multi Air conditioner varying the length of pipe arrangements. If the pipe arrangement of the system is 15m, the cooling capacity and EER were decreased 0.8% and 1.3% respectively compared to the case when pipe arrangement is 5m. In case of 25m, the cooling capacity and EER were decreased 10.7% and 12.2% respectively compared to the case of 5m. When the length of pipe is not same each other, it is profitable to make the pipe length of highest capacity indoor unit shortest.

A performance test of an air cycle machine with an air to air heat exchanger was performed. The air cycle machine designed for avionics cooling in a fighter's external pod is a small turbo machine operated on the reverse Brayton air cycle driven by captured ram air which is the source of driving energy and it can be used as cooling fluid going through electronics in the pod during the flight. The air to air heat exchanger was also used to avoid moisture for avionics. The performance test have verified that the developed ACM and heat exchanger meet the design requirements.
