Fire prediction, response and assessment for outdoor storage tanks are essential to disaster management because they have significant human, social and environmental impacts. Therefore, in this study, the fire situation an outdoor storage tank was simulated and the effects of fire on the radiant heat flux were analyzed concerning tank height and fire occurrence time. tank height and fire occurrence time. For this purpose, fire scenarios and specifications of the outdoor storage tank were set, and a study was carried out considered height, fire occurrence time and the operating or non-operating of a water spray system in outdoor storage tanks containing large amounts of Pentane using FDS (Fire Dynamics Simulator). As a results, the radiant heat flux was reduced by more than 50% depending on whether the water spray system was m operating or not. When the water spray system was in operation, the maximum radiant heat flux was 13.75 kW/m² at a tank height of 14 m, and when the water spray system was not 117 operation, the maximum radiant heat flux was 25.14 kW/m² at the same tank height. Additionally, it was found that when the water spray system was in operation, the radiant heat flux was 50% lower than when the water spray system was not in operation.

본 연구는 옥외저장탱크에서 발생한 화재의 근본적인 원인분석을 통해 저장탱크의 안전을 유지할 목적으로 수행되었다. 옥외저장탱크는 위험물을 장기간 저장하기 위한 고정장치로 탱크본체 및 부속장치로 구성되며, 부속장치는 벤트 시스템, 브레더 밸브, 화염방지기 등으로 구성된다. 화염방지기는 옥외저장탱크의 화재 폭발을 방지하기 위해 필요한 안전장치이다. 하지만 최근 발생한 옥외저장탱크 화재를 계기로 기존에 설치되어 운용중인 옥외저장탱크에 안전성 확보 차원에서 화염방지기를 의무적으로 설치해야 하는지 국내 외 기준을 비교 분석하여 화염방지기 설치가 필요함을 제시하였고, 화염방지기의 성능을 검증할 수 있는 국내기준이 부족하므로 외국 기준을 참고하여 보완할 필요성이 있다.

The Storage efficiency of concentric evacuated tube solar collector is tested for one year from January 1st to December 31st under the real sun condition. The testing equipment is operated continuously for three days without cooling the storage tank. Daily storage efficiency is obtained from dividing stored energy in the storage tank by solar insolation on the solar collector for each day. Daily averaged temperature of the storage tank is lowest in January and highest in August. Monthly averaged storage efficiency is also lowest in November and highest in June. Therefore, it can be said that the storage temperature and the storage efficiency are roughly proportional to outdoor temperature. Furthermore, the daily storage efficiency is reversely proportional to $(T_s-T_a)/I_c$ where $T_s$ and $T_a$ are daily averaged storage temperature and outdoor temperature from sunrise to sunset, and $I_c$ is total insolation on the solar collector for a day.

본 연구는 옥외저장탱크에서 발생한 화재·폭발사고의 근본적인 사례분석을 통해 저장탱크의 안전을 유지할 목적으로 수행되었다. 이 사고는 저장탱크 야드에 사업장 외에서 날아온 풍등이 저장탱크 주변 잔디에 떨어지며 발생한 잔재 화재가 서서히 확산되어 탱크 내부의 유증기와 만나 폭발·화재로 이어진 사고였다. 사고의 원인을 밝혀내기 위하여 CCTV영상분석을 통한 대기확산 조건 도출, 전산유체역학을 이용한 풍향 분석, 플러팅 루프가 최저 위치일 때의 탱크 내부 유증기 발생량, 최고 위치일 때의 탱크 내부 유증기 거동을 통하여 저장탱크의 폭발이 일어난 원인을 밝혀내어 저장탱크의 레벨을 내부부상형 지붕 이하로 유지했을 경우 위험물이 충전되면서 그 공간에 있던 유증기가 내부 부상지붕위에 정체될 가능성이 있으므로 저장탱크의 Low liquid level이 폰튠 서포트 밑에 위치하지 않도록 운전절차를 개선하고, 오픈 벤트에는 화염방지기를 설치하여 화염이 저장탱크로 유입하지 못하도록 하는 대책을 제시하고자 한다.

Purpose: The objectives of this study were to construct the solar drying system with evacuated tubular solar collector and to investigate its performance in comparison with indoor and outdoor dryings. Methods: Solar drying system was constructed with using CPC (compound parabolic concentrator) evacuated tubular solar collector. Solar drying system is mainly composed of evacuated tubular solar collector with CPC reflector, storage tank, water-to-air heat exchanger, auxiliary heater, and drying chamber. Performance test of solar drying system was conducted with drying of agricultural products such as sliced radish, potato, carrot, and oyster mushroom. Drying characteristics of agricultural products in solar drying system were compared with those of indoor and outdoor ones. Results: Solar drying system showed considerable effect on reducing the half drying time for all drying samples. However, outdoor drying was more effective than indoor drying on shortening the half drying time for all of drying samples. Solar drying system and outdoor drying for oyster mushroom showed the same half drying time. Conclusions: Oyster mushroom could be dried easily under outdoor drying until MR (Moisture Ratio) was reached to about 0.2. However, solar drying system showed great effect on drying for most samples compared with indoor and outdoor dryings, when MR was less than 0.5.

Simulation study on the operating characteristics in the solar hybrid R744 heat pump system for residential applications was carried out with heat pump operating temperature, outdoor temperature and solar radiation. As a result, collector operating time is decreased by 1.5 hours due to the increase of water temperature in the heat storage tank when the heat pump operating temperature rises. Heat pump operating time is reduced by 19.4% owing to the high temperature of a heat storage tank. Besides, indoor heating time is decreased from 10.3 to 5.5 hours as the indoor temperature increases from $3^{\circ}C$ to $11^{\circ}C$. In addition to, when the solar radiation rises from 10 to 20 MJ/$m^2$, the maximum outlet temperature of a solar collector is increased from $65^{\circ}C$ to $71^{\circ}C$.

Experimental study on the operating characteristics of a solar hybrid heat pump system according to indoor setting temperature were carried out during spring and winter season. The system was consisted of a concentric evacuated tube solar collector, heat medium tank, heat storage tank, and heat pump. As a result, the heating load was increased by 21.1% when the indoor setting temperature rose by 2oC for the same ambient temperature. Besides, the spring season had good outdoor conditions compared to the winter season, therefore the heating load was reduced and heat gain by collector increased, relatively. In case of the winter season, the solar fraction was shown less than 10% because the heat losses of system and space increased considerably. The solar fraction decreased significantly as the indoor setting temperature increased.

In this study, the performance of hybrid solar air-water heater when the heated air was used as inlet air was investigated during air and liquid were heated simultaneously. Temperature difference between inlet air and ambient was set as $0^{\circ}C$, $13^{\circ}C$ and $22^{\circ}C$ and it was maintained during the daily operation. As a result, thermal efficiency of liquid heating was increased when the inlet air temperature was increased and heat gain of the water in heat storage tank was also increased with increment of temperature difference between inlet air and ambient temperature. On the contrary to this, the decrement of air heating efficiency and total efficiency of collector was confirmed with increment of inlet air temperature and it is considered that heat gain of liquid side is lower than heat loss of air side that occurring by using heated air as inlet air of collector. So, from these results, maximum temperature that the liquid in heat storage tank can reach was expected to increase if the return air or any heated air was used as inlet air. But air and total efficiency of hybrid solar air-water is decreased, so using outdoor air as inlet air is considered as better way on perspective of using of solar thermal energy by hybrid solar collector. However, it is hard to conclude that using outdoor air is better than heated air on the perspective of energy saving of building because the performance of heat storage performance was increased even air and total thermal efficiency was decreased, so the necessity of more profound consideration about these result in further research was confirmed for putting the hybrid solar air-water heater to practical use.
