This paper reports an experimental study on the performance evaluation of air-to-air heat exchanger with rotary type newly developed in this study. Air flow rate is varied from 10 to 120 m3/h. The range of RPM of the porous rotating discs mounted inside the heat exchanger unit is 0 to 50. The temperature of the return air side is set by adjusting heat supply at heater. The material of the porous rotating discs is cooper and its thickness is 1.0 mm. The heat transfer rate increased with the increase in air flow rate. It was found that the heat transfer rate, as the temperature of the return air side was increased, was improved due to higher temperature difference. The heat exchange performance increased with the increase in the temperature of the return air side at the conditions of the same RPM. The sensible heat exchange efficiency was maximum 68 to 76 percent, and enthalpy exchange efficiency 64 to 74 percent.

The experimental investigation was carried out to evaluate the performance of air-to-air heat exchanger with rotating porous plates newly developed in this study. The rotating porous plates are mounted with an equal interval of 18 mm inside the heat exchanger where the hot and cold airs enter at opposite ends. When flowing in opposite directions by the separating plate installed in the center of the rotating porous plates, the airs give and receive the heat each other. The material of the porous plate is cooper and its thickness is 1.0 mm. Air flow rate is varied from 10 to 120 m3/h. From the experiment of air-to-air heat exchanger with the rotating porous plates, the heat exchange performance increased with the increase in RPM of the porous rotating discs at the conditions of the same air flow rate. The sensible heat exchange efficiency was maximum 60 to 70 percent, and enthalpy exchange efficiency 50 to 60 percent.

An inverse problem to determine two-dimensional total heat exchange factor is studied for the prediction of the billet temperature in the reheating furnace. Temperature measurements by the experiment are used in the inverse analysis. This inverse analysis employs the conjugate gradient method. The total heat exchange factors for 12-zones of the cross-section of the billet are estimated. The estimated temperatures at measurement locations are in good agreements with the measured temperatures.

The geothermal heat pump system is designed for cooling and heating for three stories building (2,435 $m^2$) includes total 79 heat pumps. Therefore, the monitoring system is installed for each floor and the data is automatically transmitted to the monitoring system. Heat exchange rate and temperature of a geothermal heat pump system have been monitored for a long period. The seasonal operation of geothermal heat pump shows the different shape of heat exchange rate for cooling and heating. Ground water flow can influence on heat exchange rate and thermal storage of the system. In order to define the hydraulic characteristics and groundwater temperature variation, the relationships among air temperatures, groundwater temperatures, water table, and precipitation are analysed.

A new method to determine the total heat exchange factor was proposed for the prediction of billet temperature in a reheating furnace. This method employed the squared of the difference between measured and predicted temperatures as an objective function. The real billet temperature in a walking beam type reheating furnace with 19.75m of its effective length was directly measured by thermocouples. The present method was validated by showing that the predicted billet temperature was in a good agreement with the measured one.

Each term of heat badget equation in the eastern Yellow Sea was calculated and the variation in relation to meteorological condition was shown for the period from September 1973 to February 1974, At Mal-do near Gunsan the maximum heat exchange occurred at the last ten days of December (--522 1y/day), while at Sunmi-do near Incheon it occurred at the middle ten days of November (--665 1y /day), The contribution of the sensible heat to total heat exchange increased rapidly, while the effect of cloudiness decreased to be negligible in winter. The values of the heat exchange fluctuated considerably with the periodic occurrence of the cold Siberiaa air mass. The mean evaporation heat estimated indirectly from the aerological data was 32 ly/day at the northern part and 269 ly/dlY at the southern part of the Yellow Sea in December 1973.

The annual nariation of surface heat exchange at ten selected station in the Korean coastal seas was studied using data of monthly mean surface temperature and meteorological parameters averaged for many years. Through heat exchange between the sea and the atmosphere, the surfaces in the Korean coastal seas are warmed by accepting heat from the atmosphere during march to September in the west coast sea, during Aprill to August in the south coast sea which includes the Ulleung-do coast sea and during April to September in the east coast sea. The periods which are cooled by losing heat to the atmosphere correspond to residual months excepting the above warming periods. Maximum total heat exchange during the warming period at each station shows the distribution of 320-720cal/ $\textrm{cm}^2$ day in June to July and during the cooling period shows the distribution of -260∼-940 cal/$\textrm{cm}^2$ day in November to January. The annual average total heat exchange shows warming of 100-240 Cal/$\textrm{cm}^2$ day in the west coast sea, cooling of -90∼-150 Cal/$\textrm{cm}^2$ day in the south coast sea and the Ulleung-do coast sea, and slight warming or cooling of -15∼65 Cal/$\textrm{cm}^2$ day in the east coast sea. Maxima or minima of the surface temperature in the Korean coastal seas appear in the month that the warming or cooling period is ended. The evaporation rate is highest during October to next January with the distribution of 5∼12mm/day.

In this study, performance tests were conducted to investigate the applicability of a double-tube heat recovery ventilation system. Paper, aluminum, polymer, were investigated as materials for the inner tube using the same exhaust-air volume. In all cases, the temperature exchange efficiency of the aluminum tube was the highest, while the paper tube showed similar results to those of the polymer tube. This probably resulted from the differences in thermal conductivity and thicknesses of the materials. The humidity exchange efficiency was the highest for the paper tubes in all cases, while the aluminum tubes and polymer tubes showed similar results. The total heat exchange efficiency, which includes the values of humidity exchange and temperature exchange, was highest in the case of the paper tube, and the aluminum tube and the polymer tube showed similar results. In the case of the paper tube, sensible heat and latent heat exchange occur at the same time, and the coefficient of energy of the aluminum tube and polymer tube are large values, when to be compared with only applicably sensible heat exchange coefficient of the aluminum tube and the polymer tube of total heat exchange efficiency value. The results of this study could be applied to the design of a ventilation system.

This study was performed to investigate the performance of heat recovery device attached to exhaust gas funnel connected to combustion chamber of greenhouse heating system. The experiment heat recovery system is mainly consisted of LPG combustion chamber and two heat recovery units; unit-A is attached directly to the exhaust gas funnel, and unit-B is connected with unit-A. Heat recovery performance was evaluated by estimating total energy amount by using enthalpy difference between two measurement points together with mass flow rate of gas and/or air passing through each heat recovery unit depending on 5 different flow rates controlled by voltage meter. The results of this experimental study, such as heat exchange behavior of supply air pipes and exhaust air passages crossing the pipes, pressure drop between inlet and outlet, heat recovery performance of exchange unit, etc., will be used as fundamental data for designing optimum heat recovery device to be used for fuel saving purpose by reducing heat loss amounts mostly wasted outside of greenhouse through funnels.

This study was carried out to improve the performance of pre-developed heat recovery devices attached to exhaust-gas flue connected to combustion chamber of greenhouse heating system. Four different units were compared in the aspect of heat recovery performance; A-, B-, and C-types are exactly the same with the old ones reported in previous studies. D-type newly developed in this experiment is mainly different with the old ones in its heat exchange area and tube thickness. But airflow direction(U-turn) and pipe arrangement are similar with previous three types. The results are summarized as follows; 1. System performances in the aspect of heat recovery efficiency were estimated as 42.2% for A-type, 40.6% for B-type, 54.4% for C-type, and 69.2% for D-type. 2. There was not significant improvement of heat recovering efficiency between two different airflow directions inside the heat exchange system. But considering current technical conditions, straight air flow pattern has more advantage than hair-pin How pattern (U-turn f1ow). 3. The main factors influencing on heat recovery efficiency were presumably verified to be the total area of heat exchange surface, the thickness of ail-flow pipes, and the convective heat transfer coefficient influenced by airflow velocity under the conditions of allowable pipe durability and safety. 4. Desirable blower capacity for each type of heat recovery units were significantly different to each other. Therefore, the optimum airflow capacity should be determined by considering in economic aspect of electricity required together with the optimum heat recovery performance of given heat recovery systems.
