Seoul Metro has operated the air cooling equipment established in a machine room of a station building to improve our services focused on our customers who use Seoul Metro during the summer season. However, a new set of problems has arisen with the cooling tower to support a heat exchange of cooling water. One of them is loss of efficiency in the air conditioner. The leading cause of this problem is that we use an underground type of the cooling tower. As the machine room of a station building is located in the underground of inner city because of the nature of the subway, it is difficult to establish the cooling tower on the ground. The underground structure of the No. $1{\sim}4$ subway line is unsuitable for the location requirements of the underground type of the one because it has a limited space to set up the air cooling equipment, for example, the cooling tower and a ventilating opening. As a result of such an unfavorable condition, the cooling tower doesn't work efficiently and the warmth of cooling water because of insufficiency of a heat exchange and a refrigerator's technical obstacle such as a high-temperature and a high-pressure has arisen. Accordingly, the efficiency of the air conditioning is getting lower and lower. Another problem is too wasteful with water. Each station uses the water over 30 tons every day with waterworks to replenish the cooling tower such as a evaporation, a scattering and a distribution of water. Nevertheless, the more an air conditioner increase, the more the use of water supply increase. For this reason, we can't help wasting an enormous amount of water and discharging the congelation of a low temperature(about $15^{\circ}C$) occurred in a heat exchanger inside an air conditioner. The purpose of this study is to analyze the utility of congealing water to improve efficiency of the air cooling equipment and save energy as a supplementary water for the cooling tower.

This study was investigated to control the corrosion and scale at the cooling water system in steel works. Laboratory and field tests were performed for the indirect cooling water system of plate mill. Throughout the experiment, various factors such as leakage of pipes, heating rate and capacity, and the reaction between existing and substitute inhibitors were carefully monitored. The results showed that the harmful effect of high temperature could be minimized, and satisfactory corrosion/scale controls were effectively achieved using inhibitor, even at the increased temperature of $80^{\circ}C$. The batch and field tests in the gas scrubbing cooling water system of blast furnace and cooling water system of corex plant indicated that the new inhibitor was more effective for the prevention of corrosion and scale than the existing one.

Vertical meteorological conditions encountered by super tall buildings, such as wind speed, temperature and humidity, vary due to their height. Therefore, it is necessary to consider these environmental changes to properly estimate the heating and cooling loads, and to minimize the energy demands for HVAC in super tall buildings. This paper aims to analyze how vertical meteorological changes affect heating and cooling loads of super tall buildings by using numerical simulation. A radiosonde, which observes atmospheric parameters of upper air such as wind speed, wind direction, temperature, relative humidity and pressure, was used to provide weather data for the building load simulation. A hypothetical super tall building was used for the simulation to provide quantified characteristics of the heating and cooling loads, comparing the lower, middle and upper parts of the building. The effect of weather data on the heating and cooling loads in super tall building was also discussed.

Recently, the internal combustion engines have focused on reducing both the CO2 emissions in order to cope with severe regulations for greenhouse effect. Therefore, various new technologies have been developed in many countries. Among them, the cooling system is spotlighted because it has great effect on fuel efficiency. However, the present engine cooling system is almost same as one of the 50 years ago. The needs for high performance and compact size make it important to improve engine cooling system, down-sizing and control method of coolant flow. Thus, low fuel consumption technology such as control and synthetic management of cooling system was necessary to satisfy with these needs. In this study, we applied electric thermostat to improve the fuel economy. The fuel consumption was compared after driving FTP-75 mode on both conditions which were with a conventional wax thermostat and with a electric thermostat. The coolant temperature of opening the electric thermostat is higher.

1970년대부터 고온을 받은 콘크리트의 압축강도, 탄성계수, 열응력 등 콘크리트에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 내적, 외적 인자들의 역학적 특성은 조사되어 왔다. 특히, 골재의 열적 특성이나 냉각 방법은 잔존 역학적 특성을 평가하는데 가장 중요하다. 본 연구에서는, 골재 종류와 냉각 방식에 따른 콘크리트의 역학적 특성에 대해 평가했다. 본 연구에서는 열적특성이 다른 일반 골재와 경량골재를 사용했다. 또한, ${\O}100{\times}200mm$ 원주형 공시체를 사용하여 목표 온도, 서냉 및 급냉조건 후에 역학적 특성을 평가하였다. 결과적으로, 보통 골재를 사용한 콘크리트는 경량골재를 사용한 콘크리트보다 냉각조건이 미치는 영향이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 냉각 속도가 빠르지 않을수록 콘크리트의 잔존 역학적 특성이 크게 나타났다.

The Stirling cryocoolers have been widely used for the cooling of the infrared detector(InSb, HgCdTe, and etc,) and HTS(High Temperature Superconductor) to the cryogenic temperature. The monobloc Stirling cryocoolers with the rotary compressor are applicable to the cooling device for the compact mobile thermal imaging system, because the cryocoolers have the compact structure and light weight. The typical performance factors of the Stirling cryocooler are the cool-down time, cooling capacity at the desired temperature (80 K), the electric input power and COP. The above performance factors depend on the operating conditions such as the charging pressure of the helium gas, the thermal environment and etc.. In this study, the effects of the thermal environment (temperature of 241, 293, and 333 K) on the performance of the cryocooler were investigated by experiments. The results show the effects of the temperature of the thermal environment on the cooling capacity and input power.

High speed machining is the core technology that influences the performance of machine tools, and the high speed motor spindle is widely used for the high speed machine tools. The important problem in high speed spindle is to minimize the thermal effect by motor and bearing and frequency effect. This paper presents the thermal characteristic analysis and frequency experiment for a high speed spindle considering the flow rate of cooling oil. A high speed spindle is composed of angular contact ceramic ball bearings, high speed built-in motor, oil cooling jacket and so on. The thermal analyses of high speed spindle need to minimize the thermal effect and maximize the cooling effect and they are carried out under the various cooling conditions. Heat generations of the bearing and the high speed motor are estimated from the theoretical and experimental data. To find out the characteristic of vibration, the high speed spindle is excited in operational range. This result can be applied to the design and manufacture of a high speed tapping spindle.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of cooling systems on reproductive performance, body temperature, blood metabolites, and the intestinal microbiome in early gestating sows exposed to high ambient temperature. In total, 39 pregnant sows (Landrace × Yorkshire; 2 parities) were randomly assigned to and maintained in the following three treatment groups (13 sows per group) over days 0 to 35 of pregnancy: (i) air cooling (AC; 26.87 ± 1.23℃), (ii) water-drip cooling (WC; 28.81 ± 0.91℃), and (iii) a lack of cooling with heat stress (HS; 30.72 ± 0.70℃). Backfat thickness was measured before and after HS. Feces were collected on day 0 and 35 d of the trial for microbiome analysis, whereas blood was taken at day 35 of pregnancy and analyzed. Reproductive performance and physiological responses were identified at day 35. Respiration rate along with rectal and skin temperatures were lower (p < 0.05) in the AC group than in the HS and WC groups. Serum blood urea nitrogen values were increased (p < 0.05) in the WC group compared with those measured in the AC and HS groups. Triiodothyronine was found at greater levels (p < 0.05) in the AC than in the HS group. Reproductive performance was not affected by the cooling systems. At the phylum level, fecal pathogenic Spirochaete and Euryarchaeota were found in higher numbers (p < 0.05) in all groups after HS. Similarly, at the genus level, the amount of Treponema was greater (p < 0.05) in all groups after HS. In conclusion, our results suggest that AC or WC can ameliorate or mitigate the adverse effects of HS on the physiological parameters of pregnant sows reared under high temperatures.
