  • Local heating system providing hot air locally to growing parts including shoot apex and flower cluster which were temperature-sensitive organs of cherry tomato was developed to reduce energy consumption for greenhouse heating without decline of crop growth. Growing part following local heating system was composed of double duct distributer which connected inner and outer ducts with hot air heater and winder which moved ducts up and down following growing parts with plant growth. Growing part local heating system was compared with conventional bottom duct heating system with respect to distributions of air and leaf surface temperatures according to height, growth characteristics and energy consumption. By growing part local heating, air temperature around growing part was maintained $0.9{\sim}2.0^{\circ}C$ higher than that of lower part of crop and leaf surface temperature was also stratified according to height. Investigations on crop growth characteristics and crop yield showed no statistically significant difference except for plant height between bottom duct heating and growing part local heating. As a result, the growing part local heating system consumed 23.7% less heating energy than the bottom duct heating system without decrease of crop yield.

  • Pleurotus eryngii is one of the most promising mushrooms produced on the domestic farms. The quality as well as quantity of Eryngii is sensitively affected by micro climate factors such as temperature, relative humidity, $CO_2$ concentration, and light intensity. To safely produce high-quality Eryngii all the yew round, it is required that the environmental factors be carefully controlled by well designed structures equipped with various facilities and control systems. At the commercial mushroom cultivation houses of permanent frame type (A, B), this study was carried out to find out reasonable range of each environmental factor and yield together with economic and safe structures influencing on the optimal productivity of Eryngii. This experiment was conducted for about two-year ken Nov. 2003 to Dec. 2005 in cultivation house. Ambient temperature during the experiment period was not predominantly different from that of a normal year. The capacity of the hot water boiler and the piping systems were not enough. Because the capacity of electric heater and air circulation were not enough, air temperatures in cultivation house before improvement of system were maintained somewhat lower than setting temperature, and maximum air temperature difference between the upper and lower growth stage during a heating time period was about 5.1. But the air temperatures after system improvement were maintained within the limits range of setting temperature without happening stagnant of air. Air temperature distribution was generally distributed uniform. Relative humidity in cultivation house before , improvement was widely ranged about $44{\sim}100%$. But as the relative humidity after improvement was ranged approximately $80{\sim}100%$, it was maintained within the range of relative humidity recommended. And $CO_2$ concentration was maintained about $400{\sim}3,300mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ range. The illuminance in cultivation house was widely distributed in accordance with position, and it was maintained lower than the recommended illuminance range $100{\sim}200lx$. The acidity of midium was some lower range than the recommend acidity range of pH $5.5{\sim}6.5$. The yield was relatively ununiform. In case of bottle capacity of 1,300cc, the mushroom of the lowest grade was less than 3%. The consumption electric energy was quite different according to the cultivation season. The electric energy consumed during heating season was much more than that of cooling season.

  • 시설원예에서 난방장치를 사용하는 겨울철 재배 농산물의 생산비 중 난방 연료비가 30%~37% 정도를 차지하여 비중이 가장 높다. 따라서 시설원예 농가에서는 난방비를 절감하는 것이 농가소득과 직결되므로, 난방장치의 선정이 대단히 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 겨울철 재배 농산물의 생산비 중 30%-37% 정도를 차지하는 연료비를 절감하기 위해 기존의 온풍난방기와 다른 새로운 방식의 열교환기와 원심식 송풍블로워를 사용하는 블로워 송풍방식의 온풍난방기를 개발하고 개발된 온풍난방기의 가동으로 인한 난방 연료비 절감효과와 온실내의 균일한 온도분포를 획득하기 위해 8연동 비닐온실에서의 시험을 실시하였으며 얻어진 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 가. 저 정압용의 전동기 축직결식 송풍팬을 대신하여 고 정압용의 블로워 송풍팬을 장착하고 열교환 면적을 크게 한 지그재그식 환류의 열교환실을 채용한 온풍난방기를 개발하였다. 나. 공시한 온실에서 기존 온풍난방기의 2일 가동시 DH당 연료 사용량이 평균 1.082$\ell$/$^{\circ}C$.hr 이며, 블로워 송풍방식 온풍난방기의 3일 가동시 DH당 연료 사용량은 평균 0.854$\ell$/$^{\circ}C$.hr로써 21%의 난방 연료비 절감효과가 나타났다. 다. 블로워 송풍방식 온풍난방기는 동일시간대 3$^{\circ}C$의 경시적 온도변화가 발생하였고, 기존의 은풍난방기의 동일시간대 온도변화는 최대 6.1$^{\circ}C$로 나타나 개발된 블로워 송풍방식 온풍난방기가 동일시간대 온실내의 온도변화를 크게 줄일 수 있었고 온도분포를 비교적 균일하게 하는 효과가 있음을 확인하였다.도 33$^{\circ}C$를 기준으로 한 열 회수 시간은 유입공기 온도가 52$^{\circ}C$ 및 64$^{\circ}C$ 일 각각 120분 및 140분으로 나타났다. (3) 제 3종 자갈: 축열조로 공급되는 공기의 온도가 52$^{\circ}C$와 64$^{\circ}C$ 일 때, 축열조 출구의 공기온도가 33$^{\circ}C$에 도달될 때까지 가열되는데 소요된 시간은 가열공기의 온도가 52$^{\circ}C$와 64$^{\circ}C$ 일 때 각각 180분과 150분이었고, 방열에 소요된 시간은 각각 240분 및 270분으로 나타났다. 방열과정 동안 축열조 출구의 최고 공기온도는 가열 공급공기의 온도가 52$^{\circ}C$$65^{\circ}C$일 때 각각 35.5$^{\circ}C$ 및 39.5$^{\circ}C$였다. 출구 공기온도 33$^{\circ}C$이상을 기준으로 한 에너지 회수시간은 유입공기 온도가 52$^{\circ}C$ 및 64$^{\circ}C$일 때 각각 140분 및 160분으로 나타났다. 이와 같이 자갈이 작을수록 축열조 출구의 공기온도가 기준온도 33$^{\circ}C$에 도달되는 시간이 길었으며, 이것은 축열조내의 공극이 작고 비중량이 커 자갈층을 가열시키는 축열시간이 길어지기 때문인 것으로 사료된다. 또한 작은 자갈일수록 방열시간도 다소 길어져 회수 가능 열에너지가 큰 것으로 나타났다

  • This study was performed to provide the basic knowledge about the mushroom cultivation facilities. Classified current status of cultivation facilities in Gyeongnam province was investigated by questionnaire. The structure of Pleurotus eryngii cultivation facilities can be classified into the simple and permanent frame type. The simple frame structures were mostly single-span type, on the other hand, the permanent frame structures were more multi-span than simple structures. And the scale of cultivation facilities was very different regardless of structural type. But as a whole, the length, width and ridge height were prevailing approximately 20.0 m, $6.6\~7.0m$ and $4.6\~5.0m$ range, respectively. The floor area was about $132\~160\;m^2$, and floor was built with concrete to protect mushrooms from various harmful infection. The roof slope of the simple and permanent type showed about $41.5^{\circ}\;and\;18.6\~28.6^{\circ}$, respectively. The width and layer number of growing bed for mushroom cultivation were around $1.2\~1.6m$, 4 layers in common, respectively. Most of year round cultivation facilities were equipped with cooler, heater, humidifier, and ventilating fan. Hot water boiler was the most commonly used heating system, the next was electric heater and then steam boiler. The industrial air conditioner has been widely used for cooling. And humidity was controlled mostly by ultra-wave or centrifuging humidifier. But some farmers has been using nozzle system for auxiliary purpose. More then $90\%$ of the mushroom house had the independent environment control system. The inside temperature was usually controlled by sensor, but humidity and $CO_2$ concentration was controlled by timer for each growing stage. The capacity of medium bottle was generally 850 cc and 1100cc, some farms used 800 cc, 950 co and 1,250 cc. Most of mushroom producted has been usually shipped to both circulating company and joint market.

  • In previous paper(Lee et al., 1984), preparation formula and processing conditions of the fish meat (mackerel) paste using dielectric heating were described, that included the proper shape and size of product and the conditions of dielectric heating, hot air dehydration, and heating with electric heater to yield the minimum expansion and case hardening during heating and to controll the final rater activity of 0.86 to 0.83 accompanying with a complete reduction of viable cells and good texture. In present study, changes in VBN, pH, total plate count, water activity, texture, the loss of available lysine, color indexes, TBA value, and the content of TI were determined to assess the quality stability and shelf-life of the product during the storage for 35 days at $5^{\circ}C\;and\;25^{\circ}C$, respectively. And the effect of vacuum sealing and hot water treatment before storage on the storage stability of product was also mentioned. As the product was vacuum packed in K-flex film bag, heat treated in boiling water for 6 minutes, and stored, water activity was maintained 0.86 to 0.84 for 35 days regardless of storage temperature, and the increase of total plate count was negligible in case of $5^{\circ}C$ storage while tended to gain slightly after 25 days at $25^{\circ}C$ storage. Changes in VBN was also minimum with an increase of 1.5 mg/100g at $5^{\circ}C$ and 7.0mg/100g at $25^{\circ}C$, but in case of unpacked sample, it was 24.5mg/100g at $5^{\circ}C$ and 42.4 mg/100g at $25^{\circ}C$ even after 7 days. In textural property hardness tended to increase after 28 days and folding test score was down to A or B from AA grade. The loss of available lysine was $7.5\%\;at\;5^{\circ}C$ and $17.0\%\;at\;25^{\circ}C$ but brown color was not deeply developed as the color index score indicated. TBA value was not increased at $5^{\circ}C$ while it tended to increase rapidly after 30 days at $25^{\circ}C$. Changes in TI content was not obvious except that it showed a tendency of increase at the end of storage as well as in the change of lysine and TBA value. It is concluded from the results that the quality of the product, pasteurized and water activity controlled by dielectric heating, and vacuum packed in K-flex film would be stable for more than 35 days at $5^{\circ}C$ and at least 25 days even at room temperature.
