In Korea, cooling power load, which occupies about 20% of peak load in 2000 and fluctuates depending on the popular usage of air conditioning systems, has been recently the focus of the load management. The first work of KEPCO (Korea Electric Power Corporation) to regulate cooling load as low as possible was to estimate its approximate scale and to develop the indirect methods to estimate it from the available time series data for the average hourly loads. However, KEPCO would like to have their methods improved both theoretically and practically. In this paper, we analyze their current indirect methods and detect their faults to design better indirect estimation methods. Under one of the assumptions of "no cooling load in April or May", the linear relationship between basic loads and GDP's, and the normalized seasonal factors of the Winters' multiplicative seasonal model, we provide ten indirect estimation methods in total and suggest the estimated cooling load(1988-1999) based on our various indirect methods.

In evaporative cooling applications, the evaporation water is supplied usually sufficiently larger than the amount evaporated to enlarge contact surface between the water and the air. Especially in indirect evaporative coolers, however, if the evaporation water flow rate is excessively large, the evaporative cooling effect is not used for heat absorption from the hot fluid but spent to the sensible cooling of the evaporation water itself. This would result in a decrease in the cooling performance of the indirect evaporative cooler. In this study, the effects of the evaporation water flow rate on the cooling performance are investigated theoretically. The cooling process in an indirect evaporative cooler is modeled into a set of linear differential equations and solved to obtain the exact solutions to the temperatures of the hot fluid, the moist air, and the evaporation water. Based on the exact solutions, it is analyzed how much the cooling performance is affected by the evaporation water flow rate. The results show that the decrease in the cooling effectiveness is substantial even for a small flow rate of the evaporation water and the relative decrease is more serious for a high-performance evaporative cooler.

This paper presents a machinability evaluation of Inconel 718 material when using a new uniform-temperature indirect cooling method that incorporates constant-pressure liquid nitrogen (LN2). The flank wear of a TiAlN coated tool used with this indirect cooling system was much lower than that of the tool used with dry machining under all machining conditions. Also, the surface roughness resulting from machining with this indirect method was far less than that of a dry machined surface after the same cutting time. Reduced heat generation and uniform temperature in turning operations play important roles in tool life and surface quality.

A numerical study is carried out for increasing heat removal using indirect cooling system. Computation is performed for nine cases as variation of flow condition in the lower channel. As the result of this study, water is more effective than air at the same pressure loss in spite of the lower inlet velocity. In channel configuration, the vertical channel is more effective than horizontal channel because of the buoyancy effect. Under the condition that heat generation is the same, counter flow effectively decreases the temperature difference among blocks. Parallel flow is more effective than counter flow when average temperature of all blocks is considered. In the case of installing obstacles in the lower channel, it is desirable to install obstacles in the bottom of lower channel. Heat transfer rate increases as the height of obstacles increases.

Ren et al. analyzed the performance of the indirect evaporative cooler according to the direction of the flow considering evaporation water flow and wetness. However the effect of NTU of each channel on the performance of the indirect evaporative cooler according to the direction of the flow was not analyzed exactly. In this study the effect of the direction of the flow on the Indirect evaporative cooling performance changing NTU of each channel are investigated theoretically. The cooling process of the indirect evaporative cooler by flow direction is modeled into a set of linear differential equations and solved to obtain the exact solutions to the temperatures of the hot fluid, the moist air, and evaporation water. Based on the exact solution in the case of different NTU of each channel, we study the change of the distribution of the temperature according to each flow direction and at the same time analyze the effect of the flow direction on the cooling performance.

최근 국내 섬유산업의 생산량이 증가함에 따라 섬유산업에서 에너지 소비는 계속 증가되고 있는 실정이다. 기존의 염색기는 고온 고압의 특성을 가지고 있기 때문에 염색 후 냉각을 하기 위하여 열교환기를 통한 간접냉각방식을 채택하고 있다. 이러한 간접냉각방식은 물의 소모량이 많으며 작업 시간 또한 오래 걸리는 문제점이 있고 냉각시 염액의 고착으로 인해 냉각 후 환원세정 및 수세를 수차례 하므로 에너지가 많이 소비된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 고온 고압 액류 염색기의 열교환기에 의한 간접냉각방식을 염색기내에 냉수를 직접 공급하는 직접냉각방식으로 대체하기 위한 장치를 개발하여 기존의 염색기에 적용하여 냉각과 동시에 환원세정공정을 생략하고 수세공정을 단축시키면서 전공정을 마무리함으로써 전체 작업공정을 줄이고 에너지 소비를 절감하는 등의 생산성을 획기적으로 향상시킬 수 있는 직접냉각수세장치를 제안하며, 시제작품을 제작하고, 실제 염색기에 적용하여 기존의 간접 냉각 방식의 염색기와 성능, 자원 및 에너지 절감율을 비교하였다. 또한 시제작품을 적용한 염색기의 염색성 실험을 하였다.

본 연구의 목적은 간접식 증발냉각 장치의 성능을 예측하고, 장치를 공기조화기의 배기열 회수에 적용하였을 경우의 에너지 절약효과를 분석하는 것이다. 플라스틱 열교환기를 사용한 간접식 증발냉각장치의 성능 상관식을 여러가지 조건에서 얻어진 실험 데이터로부터 구하였으며, 이 상관식을 이용하여 환기와 외기의 조건을 변화시켜가면서 장치의 성능변화를 예측하였다. 또한 간접식 증발냉각장치의 배기열 회수에 의한 에너지 절약효과를 우리나라 몇개 도시의 표준기상데이터를 사용하여 분석하였다. 여름철 배기열 회수를 위한 현열냉각장치의 사용율은 평균 44.3%이며 증발냉각장치의 사용율은 96.7% 이다. 증발냉각장치의 배기열 회수에 의한 에너지 절약은 현열냉각장치에 비해서 훨씬 높으며, 서울의 경우 약 3.89 배로 나타났다.

As the underground area of the metropolitan becomes denser recently, an introduction of forced cooling system is under study to maximize the carrying capacity of existing cables in tunnels. Indirect water cooling system laid within trough will probably be adopted for the next 345KV class underground power cables in this country. The system covers a distance of 1.5-3.0Km for one water cooling interval and one water cooling interval is composed of several sub-sections that have different thermal analysis conditions. Thus the distribution of temperature in each sub-section is described by different conditions in general. In this paper a method that can accurately match the temperature of the coolant in the boundary between sub-sections has been suggested. An algorithm to find the temperature distributions effectively in the thermal system has also been presented. A computer program using this method has been tested in a smaple system and the results have shown the usefulness of this program.

Medicated water electrolysis apparatus, which electrolyzes water into acidic water and alkaline water, was in the spotlight as becoming known the effect of alkaline water. It is known as good for health as removing active oxygen in the human's body and promoting digestion. But, the customers could not get that desired water temperature because these apparatuses are directly connected with a water pipe. So, the cooling system was developed for controlling the temperature of the alkaline water. One of the typical way is to store water in water tank and control the temperature. But, in this way, storing water can be polluted impurities coming from outside. For protecting this pollution, the cooling system based on indirect heat exchange method through phase change between water and ice was developed. In this study, we have calculated efficiency of the cooling system with phase change by experiment and commercial CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) code, ANSYS CFX. To consider the effect of latent heat that is generated by melting ice, we have simulated two phase numerical analyses used enthalpy method and found the temperature, velocity, and ice mass distribution for calculating the efficiency of cooling. From the results of numerical analysis, we have obtained the relationship between the cooling efficiency and each design factor.
