Ice formation in a horizontal circular cylinder has been studied numerically. From the numerical analysis results, it was found that there were three types of freezing pattern and that freezing phenomenon was affected largely by density inversion and cooling rate. The type of freezing pattern largely depends on the secondary flow which is generated by density inversion. When supercooling energy is released before the development of the secondary flow, the annular ice layer grows. If the energy is released when the secondary flow is considerably developed and the supercooled region is removed to the upper half part of the cylinder, an asymmetric ice layer grows. And if the energy is released after perfect development of the secondary flow, instantaneous dendritic ice formation over the full region occurs. Furthermore, this secondary flow was found to have an effect on heat transfer characteristics. The heat transfer rate becomes small at the instant when the secondary flow is generated, but becomes large with the development of the flow. It's concluded that for the facilitation of heat transfer it is desirable to keep water in liquid phase until the secondary flow is perfectly developed. This study gave an instruction of performance improvement of capsule type ice storage tank.

The purpose of this study is to find the optimal conditions of PCM slurry manufacturing equipment for saving the marketing cost and keeping the original quality of products. In addition, the characteristics of the movable container for shipping or distributing products is analysed. The major results are as follows. 1. PCM thermal storage system is designed with the conditions of temperature($-5{\sim}10^{\circ}C$), cold chain time(30 minutes), and one time usage(50 liter). This system includes tank, freezer, circulating pump, cycle type heat exchanger, swelling tank, equipment of supplying PCM supplying unit includes cold tank, cycle type heat exchanger, suction unit and control equipments, etc. 2. After ability test of PCM thermal storage system, it shows that the required freezing time of PCM thermal storage system is less than one of the previous system. The reason is that churn (top and bottom) and compulsion circulation are occurred simultaneously and unit cooler type method is better than chiller type method. 3. By the experiment of transportation latent heat container, it is decided that the best container is $K_1$ with latent heat temperature($0{\sim}5^{\circ}C$) and density(0.15%). However, for $K_l\;and\;K_2$, it is necessary more studies on latent heat thermal conditions and conditions of making method.

본 연구는 동적형 빙축열시스템에 있어서 증발판이 축열조 상부에 설치되어 생성된 얼음을 주기적으로 분리, 이탈시켜 하부에 설치된 축열조에 저장하는 기존의 하베스트형 빙축열시스템과는 반대로 축열조 내에 증발판을 설치하여 수중에서 얼음을 생성시키고 분리시켜 부럭에 의해 얼음을 띄워 저장하는 새로운 방식의 수중 하베스트형 빙축열시스템 개발에 관한 연구이다. 본 방식은 축열조 내에 증발판이 설치되어 제빙과 탈빙이 이루어짐으로서 기존 시스템에 설치되는 순환펌프나 순환수 분배기 및 배관 등의 설비가 불필요하고, 또한 조내 물과 증발판이 직접접촉에 의해 열교환이 이루어지므로 기존 공기 중에서의 열교환 방식보다 전열효율이 우수한 장점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 상기의 수중 빙제조 방식에있어 빙 제조시와 방냉시 축열조의 열특성을 실험적으로 밝혀 시스템 최적화 및 성능 향상에 대한 기초 자료를 제공하고자 하였다.

복공식 시하공동내에 액화천연가스(LNG)를 저장하는 새로운 LNG 저장기술의 타당성을 검증하고 실규모 저장소 건설을 위한 기반기술의 개발을 위하여 액화질소를 저장하는 소규모 시험장을 한국지질자원연구윈 구내에 건설하였다. 액화질소를 지하공동내에 저장함에 따라 공동주변의 암반은 극저온 환경의 직접적인 영향을 받게 되므로, 공동주변에 결빙층(ice ring)의 형성은 물론 지반상태 변화를 수반할 것으로 예상되었다. 이 시험장에서는 지반상태의 변화 규명과 모니터링을 위하여 물리탐사, 수리지질조사, 암반공학 조사 등이 수행되었으며, 특히 시추공 레이다와 3 차원 전기비저항 탐사를 포함하는 물리탐사법을 적용하여 극저온 환경으로 인한 암반내 결빙층의 형성을 탐지하고 지반상태 변화를 모니터링 하였다. 특히, 3차원 전기비저항 탐사자료는 액화질소의 저장 전후에 획득하여 그 결과를 비교하였으며, 3 단계에 걸쳐 획득한 3 차원 전기비저항 영상들로부터 액화질소의 저장에 기인한 뚜렷한 전기비저항 변화 영역을 도출하였다. 저장공동의 동쪽부에서 전기비저항의 감소를 보였으며, 수리지질조사 결과와 저장소 주변의 여러 패턴을 비교, 검토하여 이와 같은 전기비저항의 변화가 지하수 흐름의 변화에 기인하는 것으로 해석하였다. 즉, 극저온의 액화질소에 의한 암반의 동결로 인하여 공동주변의 수리지질조건 및 지하수 흐름에 변화가 발생하는 등, 저장소 가동 이전의 지반상태로부터 뚜렷한 변화를 나타낸 것으로 해석되었다.

This study is the survey of a transition procedure of building services systems(heat source, HVAC, water supply) through the survey of existing office buildings, building design documents. The preference & major consideration of system selection is the engineer's opinions. The results of this survey can be used in selection of building services system design. In this survey, "Hot & cold water generator system" and "single duct CAV+FCU system", "Elevated water tank system" are selected. The most important consideration in system selection is the energy saving in heat source system, and comfort in HVAC system, and water pressure in water supply system. They prefer "steam boiler+absorption chiller system" for heat source system, "steam boiler+ice thermal storage system", "hot & cold water generator system", "district heating+absorption chiller system" : "single duct CAV+FCU system" and "single duct VAV+convector system" for HVAC system: and "booster pump system" for water supply system.
