Comprehensive work is done for flows by an axial fan by experimental research. The present model fan is used for air handling device for out-door unit of an air conditioner in home appliance. PIV(Particle Image Velocimetry) system and wind tunnel are adopted for measurements of flows and performance evaluation, respectively. Major experimental conditions are the installation depth of a fan into a bellmouth of it. Optimal position of a fan in an inlet guide tube is observed by examination of fan-performance and flows in both upstream and downstream of the fan. Consequently, in the case of the fan inserted in half depth into the inlet tube, the efficiency of fan shows its maximum value and flow patterns is also streamlined.

Hermetic Compressor circulates refrigerant with constant flow rate regardless of operation condition. so, at the operating condition requiring low cooling capacity, too much refrigerant flow deteriorates seasonal energy efficiency ratio(SEER). In this reason, modulated compressor is needed to improve SEER. Among many types of modulated compressor, non-inverter type modulated compressor is required for its low cost and easy to development. In the modulated scroll compressor by bypass method, EER steeply decreases for many loss like re-compression, changes of volume ratio, decrease of motor efficiency by torque variation. So. the range of modulation ratio for optimized SEER must be selected accompany with air conditioner set development.

At present, using of electromagnetic control valve (ECV) in external variable displacement swash plate type compressor is a common issue. Solenoid operated ECV controls vehicle air conditioning system through a pulse width modulation (PWM) input signal that supplied from an external source. Different port pressure controls the swash plate movement inside the compressor at certain angles that finally determines the refrigerant flow rate to the vehicle compartment for passengers comfort. In this paper, crankcase pressure flow (Pc flow) is calculated with some ECV samples with corresponding to amount of variable supply of current ranges from 0.20Amp to 0.95Amp.

In this study, the pleasant driving environment of the driver and passenger in the summer was investigated through the internal flow analysis of air due to the opening and closing of the car windows. The conditions on the entrance of the air conditioner with the opening and closing status of vehicle window were applied to the flow analysis by taking into consideration the actual driving environment. The automotive air conditioning outlet, the seat and the inside of car were modeled. As the air flow inside the car was analyzed, the air flow configuration and the temperature distribution were examined. In this analysis, the results were taken in consideration of only the effects of internal air and the opening and closing of window, assuming the interior of the vehicle as insulation. The analysis of each condition shows that these models maintain a pleasant environment. It is seen that this analysis result on the internal flow analysis according to the opening and closing of vehicle window can be applied by converging with the field of design.

The differential pressure venturi-cone flowmeter is an advanced flowmeter which has many advantages such as wide range of measurement, high accuracy, excellent flow turn-down ratio, low headless, short installation pipe length requirement, and etc. Like other differential pressure flowmeters, the venturi-cone flowmeter uses the law of energy conservation, but its shape and position make it perform better than others. The cone acts as its own flow conditioner and mixer, fully conditioning and mixing the flow prior to measurement. For the analysis, we used Reynolds-averaged Wavier-Stokes equations and k-$\omega$ turbulence model. The equations were fully transformed into the computational domain, the pressure-velocity coupling was made through SIMPLER algorithm, and the equations were discretized using finite analytic solutions of the liberalized equations(Finite Analytic Method). To control the separation phenomenon on the cone surface, we proposed a new shape of cone, and analyzed the flowfield in the new flowmeter system, and found the improvement on the performance of the new cone flowmeter.

Prediction method for heat transfer coefficients in a horizontal smooth tube with forced convection condensation is proposed. In this paper, the analogy between momentum and heat transfer was applied to an annular flow regime and the logarithmic velocity distribution is applied to describe the velocity profile within the liquid film. Prediction results are compared with those of experimental ones. The test refrigerants are R113, R22, R134a, R407C(R33/R125/R134a, 23/25/52 wt%), R410A(R32/R125, 50/50 wt%) and R134a＋R123(R134a/R123, 85.5/14.5 wt%) which are used under operating conditions in a condenser of air-conditioner. The proposed prediction method shows good agreement with experimental data within$\pm 30%$ for pure refrigerants. For the mixture refrigerants including the ternary mixture refrigerant R407C, condensation heat transfer from this study are higher than those from experiments. By correcting the constant in two-phase frictional multiplier, the predicated heat transfer coefficients become similar to the experimental results.

A heating flow discharged from a 4-way ceiling type indoor unit has been investigated using a PIV(particle image velocimetry) system For the PIV measurements, an experimental model of 1/10 scale with a transparent room was devised by satisfying the Archimedes number, which is generally used in case that the forced convection has the similar magnitude as the natural convection. To optimize the heating flow, several vane angles and vane control algorithms of cross and right angle controls were considered. Regarding the vane angle, the experimental results show that it should be less than $30^{\circ}$ to avoid re-suction flows which decrease the performance of the air-conditioner. At the vane angle of $30^{\circ}$, applying open/close control gives nae to more uniform distribution of the heating flow than without control. Especially, the cross-control seems to be satisfactory for the thermal comfort.

It is possible for the nation's largest flowmeter calibration system in K-water to calibrate flow rate up to $2,700m^3/h$ and diameter 800mm. However, the calibration and measurement capability of K-water's system is not satisfied in comparison with other developed countries. In this study, we find the dominant factors related to the uncertainty of weight and time measurement for gravimetric flowmeter calibration system. As a results of improving the system, the combined standard uncertainty has been improved $1.099{\times}10^{-3}$ to $2.332{\times}10^{-4}$. So calibration and measurement capability got 0.08 percent of the relative expanded uncertainty for maximum flow rate using the coverage factor(k=2).

The summer climate is very hot and humid in Korea. Humidity is an important factor in determining thermal comfort. Recently, research on dehumidification device development has been attempted to save the energy required for operating the dehumidifier. Existing dehumidification systems have disadvantages such as wasting energy to drive the compressor. Meanwhile, dehumidification systems with membranes can dehumidify humid air without increasing the dry bulb temperature. Therefore. they don't have to consume cooling energy. In this paper, the installation conditions for a membrane system were analyzed to improve the shape and optimum performance of the system. The results showed that the distance between elements was the critical system design factor, and that a distance of 20 mm was the optimal condition for the pressure drop and flow characteristics of the internal air flow.

Diff-Serv(DS) is a mechanism by which network service providers can offer differing levels of network service to different traffic, in so providing quality of service(QoS) to their customers. Because this mechanism has been deployed just for fixed hosts with the Token Bucket mechanism according to AggF(Aggregate Flow) instead of each flow, DS can not suggest effective usability of traffic resources. In this paper, we use WFQ mechanism for traffic conditioner and scheduling method monitoring the AggF and the results will be used to control the next flows coming in TC. So it will control traffic rate dynamically and suggest efficient usability of bandwidth.
