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.

본 논문은 자동차 LED head lamp의 방열을 위한 히트싱크(heat sink)의 설계요소를 변화시켜 방열특성을 알아보고자 수치해석을 수행하였다. 수치해석에 적용한 히트싱크는 LED를 광원으로 사용하는 기존제품(Type 1)을 바탕으로 한정된 내부공간에 적합하도록 설계하여 5가지 Type으로 설계하였다. 설계된 히트싱크의 수치해석은 ANSYS CFD V12.1을 사용하여 히트싱크의 변화에 따른 온도분포와 평균온도, 공기유동특성, 열유속 등을 분석하였다. 수치해석을 통하여 방열판의 구조와 휜 형상에 따른 방열특성의 상관관계를 도출할 수 있었으며, 설계된 히트싱크의 온도분포, 공기의 유동특성, 열유속 등을 분석한 결과, 히트싱크 Type 2가 다른 Type들에 비해 LED head lamp의 방열을 위해 적합한 특성을 나타내었다.

Cooling tower is an important equipment of the cooling systems for large buildings like factory and department store. Water used for cooling in cooling tower is reused continuously. If the water is polluted, corrosion and scale can happen at equipments and pipes. In order to prevent this problem, it is necessary to control the water quality using chemicals. To control the water quality, an automatic control system is designed, fabricated, and experimented. The control system is based on an imbedded microcontroller. Relays are used for power driving, an LCD and LED for display, and RS485 for remote data acquisition. Monitoring program is also developed for easy man-machine interface and extraction of data stored in the imbedded processor and EEPROM. The control system calculates amounts of chemicals necessary using sensor data and injects the chemicals into the cooling tower on proper time. The developed water quality control system is expected to reduce cost of maintenance and extend the lifetime of the cooling systems with low cost.

The experimental analysis of a crevice-type vapor chamber heat pipe (CVCHP) is investigated. The heat source of the CVCHP is a high-power light-emitting diode (LED). The CVCHP, which exhibits a bubble pumping effect, is used for heat dissipation in a high-heat-flux system. The working fluid is R-141b, and its charging ratio was set at 60 vol.% of the vapor chamber in a heat pipe. The total thermal conductivity of the falling-liquid-film-type model, which was a modified model, was 24% larger than that of the conventional model in the LED package. Flow visualization results indicated that bubbles grew larger as they combined. These combined bubbles pushed the working fluid to the top, partially wetting the heat-transfer area. The thermal resistance between the vapor chamber and tube in the modified design decreased by approximately 32%. The overall results demonstrated the better heat dissipation upon cooling of the high-power LED package.

Numerical analysis of the radiant heat characteristic around heatsink according to arrangement and shape of fin on 60W-LED lamp is conducted in this study. In the case of top blow blowing from upper side on LED lamp, there is just little difference in cooling characteristics according to the height of fin. On the other hand, the fin arranged side by side has the advantage of heat transfer enhancement by comparing with zig-zag type because it leads to more loss of flow. In case of making fin round to increase the amount of heat transfer, designing arrangement with the minimized loss of flow has the advantage of characteristic.

반도체 제조기술의 발달로 고효율 및 고휘도의 LED가 개발됨에 따라 재래식 조명들로부터 LED를 이용한 조명으로 조명산업이 이동하는 추세이다. LED 조명등은 에너지 효율이 재래식 조명보다 뛰어나지만 많은 열이 발생한다는 단점이 있다. 특히 대형 LED 조명등에서는 이러한 발열문제가 심각한 실정으로, LED에 의한 메탈기판의 열은 납땜 부분을 열화시켜 조명등의 수명을 단축시키는 주된 원인이 된다. 따라서 대형 조명등을 개발하기 위해서는 이러한 열 문제를 해결하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 대형 LED 조명등에서 열문제를 해결하기 위한 방법을 제시하였고, 제시한 방식으로 1200W급 LED 조명등을 개발하였다. 본 연구에서 이용한 방법은 LED 조명등에 워터재킷을 설치하여 냉각수를 채웠으며, 소형의 수중펌프를 이용하여 냉각수를 순환시키는 방법을 이용하였다.

Head up display’s cooling system is auto-diagnosed resulting from the external environment. The quantity of heat depending on this Head up display’s cooling system layout determines the speed of FAN for system cooling. In other words, a system’s heat quantity is planned through the air density depending on altitude, the amount of wind in air depending on FAN control condition, and the algorithm that is proportional to delta temperature. To detect the altitude, we use the criteria of delta T, which is determined by the subtracted value of LED junction temperature, and atmospheric temperature that is recorded on the Head up display system. Depending on the classification of delta T value, the altitude section is determined. While we can use GPS as the tool to detect the altitude, we should predict the change of the air density as the altitude alters, and should not just measure the altitude. And the value of delta T is used as the criterion of detecting the altitude for increasing the cooling efficiency of the car’s inner Head up display system with reflecting the speed of the FAN dependent upon the air density. In our theory, altitude is depending on the value of delta T and stabilizing or maintaining the system’s temperature by changing FAN’s rpm depending on determined value of altitude.
