Effluent ground water overflow in deep and broad ground space building. Temperature of effluent ground water is in $12{\sim}20^{\circ}...$ annually and the quality of that water is as good as well water. Therefore if the flow rate of effluent ground water is sufficient as source of heat pump, that is good heat source and heat sink of heat pump. Effuent ground water contain the thermal energy of surrounding ground. So this is a new application of ground source heat pump. In this study open type and close type heat pump system using effluent ground water was installed and tested for a church building with large and deep ground space. The effluent flow rate of this building is $800{\sim}1000\;ton/day$. The heat pump capacity is 5RT. The heat pump heating COP was $3.85{\sim}4.68$ for the open type and $3.82{\sim}4.69$ for the close type system. The system heating COP including pump power is $3.0{\sim}3.32$ for the open type and $3.32{\sim}3.84$ for close type system. This performance is up to that of BHE type ground source heat pump.

This study has been analyzed and investigated the possibility for the substitution of a heat source with the application of PTC(Positive Temperature Coefficient Heater) in a food drying machine. And this experiment was conducted to measure temperatures at the upper part of the vessel and the heat sink. And the structure has the many holes plane connected with the external air in the upper part of similar volumetric vessel, and attached to the PTC heater (3sets) of total consumption electricity of 120[W] in Al radiant heat structure and the small fan (2sets) in the suitable space of the lower part. Consequently, it was found that at the most conditions of food drying test with the seven holes(5mm) under the control temperature $62^{\circ}C$, the optimum drying condition formatted and the optimum time range especially appeared from 6,500 second to 7,000 second in case of drying test on banana sample.

유출지하수나 지료수를 열원으로 하는 지열히트펌프의 기초자료로 활용하기 위하여 Pond Loop형 열교환기를 설계, 제작하여 유동이 없는 수조 내에서 수조의 온도가 변화함에 따라 일정한 열교환기 입구온도를 유지하면서 열전달량을 측정하였다. 그 결과 수조를 Heat Source로 사용하는 경우 5,500${\sim}$4,500 kcal/h의 열량이 전달되었고, 수조를 Heat Sink로 사용할 경우 5,200${\sim}$3,500 kcal/h의 열량이 전달되었다. 또한 열교환기 관내 유속이 증가함에 따라 열전달량이 증가하는 경향성을 확인할 수 있었고, 이는 동시에 열교환기 입출구의 차압을 증가시킴을 알 수 있었다. 열교환기의 설계단계애서 사용하였던 열전달관계식으로 구한 총괄열전달계수, U와 실험값을 통해 유추한 U값을 비교 한 결과 실험에 의해 유추된 U값이 24${\sim}$27% 설계치 보다 크게 나타났다. 본 연구를 통하여 유출지하수 뿐만 아니라 하수 및 하천수를 이용한 지열히트펌프의 기초자료를 확보할 수 있었다.

Floor panel heating system is popular in Korea as dwelling house heating system. There are two methods for keeping floor surface warm. One method is delivering warm air under the floor such as Roman Hypocaust and Korean traditional Ondol. The other method is imbedding hot water pipes into the concrete floor slab. This paper gives basic equations for steady and transient solutions of heat conduction from hurried pipes. For steady-state solution, fin Efficiency Method and Sink and Source Method were introduced. Sink and Source Method is applied to transient state and basic solution is given in the form of Exponential Integral Function. Numerical solutions can be solved easily by digital computer from these equations.

The growth of domestic energy demand is rapidly increased for the industrialization and the improvement of the living standards. It is also recognised that the importance of the use of environmentally friendly energy and high efficient equipment. Ground Source heat pumps (GSHP) using earth as heat source or sink are outstanding environmentally friendly energy systems which have high thermal efficiency when compared to conventional heating and cooling system. So government employs a policy and increase investment for expanding renewable energy market volume. Especially is established a system for obligatory usage of renewable energy to achieve 5% renewable energy diffusion rate by 2011. And the market demand for the ground source heat pump is rapidly growing due to its strong advantages. However domestic situation usually have been depended on the import of ground source heat pumps. In this paper, the results of development of a ground source heat pump using refrigerant R410A are reported.

An experimental investigation is conducted to measure phase change temperature and supercooling when acetone is added to TMA 30 wt% clathrate during cooling process in heat source. Also rate of volume change is investigated when acetone is added to TMA 30 wt% clathrate during the cooling process in heat source -8$^{\circ}C$. The results show that phase change temperature is about 4.5～5.5$^{\circ}C$ when acetone is added to TMA 30 wt% clathrate during the cooling process for heat sink temperature of -6, -7$^{\circ}C$ and -8$^{\circ}C$. Supercooling is repressed about 2～1$0^{\circ}C$ when 0.08 wt% acetone is added to it and rate of volume change is decreased about 2.9% when 0.1 wt% acetone is added for the heat sink temperature of -8$^{\circ}C$.

Alluvium is sedimentary stratum and composed of gravel, sand, silt, clay. Permeability of alluvium is the higher. If alluvium have lots of aquifer, will be of great use heat source and heat sink of heat pump. Alluvium aquifer contain the thermal energy of surrounding ground. Also geothermal heat pump using alluvium aquifer reduce expenses than general geothermal heat pump, because geothermal heat pump using alluvium aquifer make use of single well. In this study geothermal heat pump using alluvium aquifer was installed and tested for a building. The heat pump capacity is 30USRT. Temperature of ground water is in $12{\sim}17^{\circ}C$ annually and the quality of the water is as good as living water. The heat pump cooling COP is 4.4 ~ 4.7. The system cooling COP is 3.25 ~ 3.6. This performance is as good as BHE type ground source heat pump.

LED has the merits of high reliability, semi-permanent life, rapid-response and its small size for use as light source of head lamp. But the dependence of its performance and life on temperature affect on its practical use. Which dependence makes problem when the LED is heated up to a higher temperature level by self-generation of heat, due to "highly integration" to get enough quantity of light. To solve this problem, effective cooling system is needed that consider conduction, convection and radiation. This study points out the limits of natural convection cooling system and propose of forced convection with heat sink. Also, it describes a correlation between heat sink area and fluid velocity using numerical analysis to optimize the cooling system.

In this study, an absorption power cycle, which can be used for a low-temperature heat source driven power cycle such as geothermal power generation, was investigated and optimized in terms of power by the simulation method. A steady-state simulation model was adopted to analyze and optimize its performance. Simulations were carried out for the given heat source and sink inlet temperatures, and the given flow rates were based on the typical power plant thermal-capacitance-rate ratio. The cycle performance was evaluated for two independent variables: the ammonia fraction at the separator inlet and the maximum cycle pressure. Results showed that the absorption power cycle can generate electricity up to about 14 kW per 1 kg/s of heat source when the heat source temperature, heat sink temperature, and thermal-capacitance-rate ratio are $100^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$, and 5, respectively.
