At the time of medical treatment and surgical operation, halogen lamp and plasma lamp were mainly used as luminous source for lighting. These two luminous sources have drawbacks that the life of lamps are not long, various problems are brought about due to excessive heat generation and its volume is very big because of cooling device. Accordingly, in this research a ring light was developed so that a partial shadowless shooting for the patient's affected area at the medical treatment room and surgical operation room using high luminance LED for which attention is being paid as new lighting parts for medical purpose. LED which was applied to the development used high luminance three color LED for full color for which various color materialization and the adjustment of radiation intensity are possible and we can get white light in order to emphasize the delicate expression for generic tone of shooting object, strong highlight, simple shadow and three dimensional effect at the time of close-up shadowless shooting of the affected area.

According to extremely industrial growth, gas facilities, equipments and chemical plants are gradually increased due to incremental demands of annual amount of gases. The safety management of gases, however, is still far from their requirements. Methane, the principal ingredient of natural gas, is inflammable and explosive and is much used in factories and houses. Therefore, these gas safety management is essential. So, we, with a program of the gas safety management, hope to develop the detection system of methane gas leak using mid-infrared ray LED and PD with $3.2\;{\mu}m$. The cryogenic cooling device is indispensible at laser but needless at LED driven on the room temperature if manufacturing optical sensor with $3.2\;{\mu}m$. It, consequently, is not only possible to implement for subminiature and portable type but also able to speedily detect methane of extremely small quantities because the $CH_4$ absorption intensity at $3.2\;{\mu}m$ is stronger than that at $1.67\;{\mu}m$. Our objective of research is to prevent gas leak accidents from occurring previously and to minimize the extent of damage from them.

The object of this paper is to propose a method to solve resulting heat in using numerous modulized watt-class LEDs in MCPCB as lighting device. To use LED for lighting, the chip needs to have a large capacity, resulting in extra heat in P-N connection area. To solve this problem, a Pottier Module, heat-sink panel and a fan was installed to measure variations in the temperature. Additionally, temperature variation characteristics were observed according to the heat conductor panel connecting cooling module and heat-sink panel, insulator and thermal grease. As a result, the type and amount of heat-sink panel was the most important facto. The fan would effect the temperature by max. $18[^{\circ}C]$ while other materials affected the temperature by $2{\sim}3[^{\circ}C]$, showing significant difference.

The natural convection heatsink is the most commonly used cooling device, especially for high-power LED lights, because of its reliability and low long-term cost. High power LED lights are generally used in an inclined configuration for street lamps and security lamps. However, it was difficult to estimate the thermal performance of an inclined heatsink, because the results from previous studies are not applicable to the inclined configuration. In this study, we measured the thermal performance of an inclined cylindrical heatsink with plate fins. Various fin numbers, fin heights, base temperatures, and inclination angles ($30^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$) were examined. Based on the experimental results, the Nusselt number correlation is presented. This correlation is applicable when the Rayleigh number, ratio of the fin height to cylinder diameter, and fin number are in the ranges 100,000-600,000, 1/6-1/2, and 9-72, respectively.

In this study, the performance of a thermo siphon type radiator made of copper for LED lighting system was evaluated by using an inverse heat transfer method. Heating experiments and finite element heat transfer analysis were conducted for three different cases. The data obtained from experiments were compared with the analysis results. Based on the data obtained from experiments, the inverse heat transfer method was used in order to evaluate the heat transfer coefficient. First, the heat transfer analysis was conducted for non-vacuum state, without the refrigerant. The evaluated heat transfer coefficient on the radiator surface was 40W/$m^2^{\circ}C$. Second, the heat transfer analysis was conducted for non-vacuum state, with the refrigerant, resulting in the heat transfer coefficient of 95W/$m^2^{\circ}C$. Third, the heat transfer analysis was conducted for vacuum state, with refrigerant. For the third case, the evaluated heat transfer coefficients were 140W/$m^2^{\circ}C$. Third, the heat transfer analysis was conducted for vacuum state, with refrigerant. For the third case, the evaluated heat transfer coefficients were 140W/$m^2^{\circ}C$ for the radiator body, 5W/$m^2^{\circ}C$. Third, the heat transfer analysis was conducted for vacuum state, with refrigerant for the rising position of radiator pipe, 35W/$m^2^{\circ}C$. Third, the heat transfer analysis was conducted for vacuum state, with refrigerant. For the highest position of radiator pipe, and 120W/$m^2^{\circ}C$ for the downturn position of radiator pipe. As a result of inverse heat transfer analysis, it was confirmed that the thermal performance of the current radiator was best in the case of the vacuum state using the refrigerant.

We developed a low-cost automatic diagnosis system for water quality in cooling towers to measure the concentrations of key ingredients such as $Ca^{2+}$, $Cl^-$, $PO{_4}^{3-}$, and $Fe^{2+}$. $Ca^{2+}$, and $Cl^-$ are the main factors that cause the generation of scale, corrosion, and sludge in water pipes. $PO{_4}^{3-}$ prevents corrosion, sludge and scale by inhibiting the ions (i.e., $Ca^{2+}$, $Cl^-$) from sticking to the pipes. $Fe^{2+}$ is an indicator of pipe corrosion. The proposed system consists of a microprocessor, a specimen container and heater, a precision pump, relays and valves, LED optical sources, and photo detectors. It automatically collects water samples and carries out pretreatment for determining the concentration of each chemical, and then estimates the concentration of each ion using low-cost LED optical sources and detectors. Experimental results showed that the accuracy of the proposed system is sufficiently high for water quality diagnosis and management of cooling towers, demonstrating the possibility of the proposed system's wide usage in real environments.

Thermal performance of an impinging cooling module for 150 W class high power LEDs have been investigated numerically and experimentally. Parametric studies were performed to compare the effect of several design parameters such as nozzle number, nozzle spacing, coolant flow rate, and impinging distance. The experiments were also carried out in order to validate the numerical results and the comparison between the experimental and numerical results showed good agreement. It is found that the overall thermal resistance of impinging cooling module strongly depends on the nozzle number, nozzle spacing, flow rate, and impinging distance. This results showed the optimized operating condition when number of nozzles is 25, nozzles spacing is 4mm, flow rate is 2.70 lpm, distance between nozzles and impinging surface is 2 mm.

Improvements in the standard of living and lifestyle have led to increased sales of frozen milk products, such as soft ice cream or slush. These frozen milk products are commonly made in a small refrigeration machine. In a soft ice cream machine, the freezer is composed of a concentric cylinder, where the refrigerant flows in the annul us and the ice cream is made in the cylinder by a rotating scraper. In this study, an optimization and performance evaluation were conducted on a soft ice cream machine having a freezer volume of 2.8 liters. The optimization was focused on the scraper rotation speed and the refrigerant path of the freezer. The measurements included the temperature, pressure and consumed power. At the optimized speed of 124 rpm, ice cream was produced in 6 minutes and 2 seconds, and the COP was 0.90. Through a flow visualization study using air-water, the refrigerant path was improved. The improved design reduced the ice cream making time significantly. The present results may be used for the optimization of other refrigeration cycles, including those of frozen food products.
