  • We have surrounded undesired living noises in our life. One of biggest noises coming out of range hood during cooking in the kitchen. A range hood is one of the most important appliances in the kitchen because it ventilates polluted air out during cooking, and maintains air quality in the kitchen. But current kitchen range hoods bring up some issues; First, the range hoods consume massive amount of standby power not in use condition. Second, current models have designed manual fan operating system with sudden onset of noise with starting. In this paper, we propose an auto control system entire processes from air ventilation to noise reduction. Our system is consist of three parts (Eco-sensors pack, Main Controller and Active Noise Controller); Eco-sensors pack detects air pollution of kitchen areas and sends the detection values to Main Controller. Main Controller determines operation of range hood by detected values. Active Noise Controller is located inside of the range hood. It received starting signals from Main Controller which elicits degrees of polluted air condition and fan operating speed from 1 to 3. Once Active Noise Controller detected the signals, it runs a ventilating fan until new value from Main Controller becomes 0. while the range hood works, A noise cancellation algorithm inside of Active Noise Controller become activated to reduce levels of noise. As a result, the proposed system clearly shows reduction in power consumption include standby power and decreases in levels of noise.

  • In this study CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis of the steady fire-driven fuid flow for the performance test of ventilation at railway tunnel between Heuksok and Nodeul Station from Seoul Metro 9 is performed. There were fans with exhaust and intake modes and each was installed at the middle and both ends of the tunnel. For this test, the pool fire source of methyl alcohol with 1.5MW and smoke generators were installed between the middle of tunnel and Heuksok Station. In this test, the smoke behavior from natural convection was observed for 10 minutes from the ignition of pool fire and then fans with intake-modes at both sides of Heuksok effect of fan-on with intake mode located in the opposite side of the tunnel nearby Heuksok Station on fire-driven fluid flow is studied on when the boundary conditions of fan-on at the tunnel between Heuksok and Nodeul Station are the same as test. FLUENT, a commercial CFD code, is used for this analysis.

  • This study was carried out to determine necessary conditions for optimal ventilation of small windowless piglet house (5.2 (W) ${\times}$ 12.3 (L) ${\times}$ 2.3 (H) m) with negative tunnel ventilating system using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation. The weaning piglet house for this experiment was consisted of 4 rooms (520 (W) ${\times}$ 300 (L) cm), 3 fences (70 (H) cm), 1 air inlet (350 (W) ${\times}$ 2 (H) cm) and 1 exhaust fan (50 (D) cm), and simulated using CFD code, FLUENT. The simulation results for the original weaning piglet house showed ununiform ventilation for each room. Therefore, to uniformly ventilate all rooms, the heights of the air inlet and first fence were modified to 3 cm and 100 cm, respectively. The simulation result f3r the modified weaning piglet house showed uniform ventilation for all rooms and the optimum air inlet velocity of 1.4 m/s.

  • Recently, volatile organic compound(VOC) has been noted as a main cause of air pollution. VOC, with its toxic and offensive odor, is hazardous to health. Furthermore indoor, underground and hish-rise buildings are preferable living spaces. People spend more than 80% of the day indoor, so indoor air pollution is a matter of importance. In Korea, from 2004, 10 types of indoor pollutants in public facilities have been identified. However, there is no standard for individual VOC, so the regulation has not yet effectively been carried out. In this study, we have studied on the diffusion of Benzene in a room using a numerical analysis for various air-controlled conditions consisted of door, window and ventilation system. This study investigates spatial concentration distribution and time-history of room-averaged benzene concentration for several cases. The results of this study show that when the room is ventilated by a small fan only for 30 minutes, the average concentration of benzene is decreased a very little, thus the impact to human body would be serious compared to the case of natural ventilation by window and door, In the case of natural ventilation by window and door, if the wind speed is higher than 0.5m/s, it takes small than 4 minutes for benzene to spread to the target concentration of $1.2mg/m^3$.

  • This case study introduces the construction of large cross section tunnel for underground ventilation system in Sillim-Bongcheon Tunnel Project. In order to grant the safety and efficiency in connecting the ventilation shaft (7.8 m of width, and 6.6 m of height) to a tunnel for axial fan facility (20.8 m of width, and 12.3 m of height), gradual enlargement of tunnel cross section was employed between those and temporary support method was determined based on Q system. In addition, some original designs were revised during construction stage to improve the efficiency of excavation in large cross section tunnel. The advance length was optimized and top heading of the tunnel was excavated without partition in accordance with ground condition and numerical stability analysis results. It is believed that some experiences and considerations in this case study will be useful for the future design and construction in similar large cross section tunnel such as large underground ventilation system or road tunnel with four lanes.

  • 양봉사란 겨울철에 꿀벌의 월동에 적합하도록 환기와 온도 및 습도환경조절이 가능한 건물을 지칭하는 것이다. 양봉사를 이용하여 월동할 경우 노동력의 절감, 식량 소모량의 감소 및 월동기간 중 폐사율의 감소 등의 효과가 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 현재 국내 양봉가의 대부분은 실외월동을 하고 있는 실정이며, 일부 상온 실내월동을 실시하고 있으나 저온양봉사를 이용한 월동은 실시된 적이 없으며, 이에 관한 연구는 전혀 수행되지 않은 실정이다. (중략)

  • The construction of long sub-sea tunnel does not provide the favorable condition for the installation of ventilation system to be used during construction due to the constrained construction space. For the ventilation system required during construction, the artificial island where ventilation shaft is located is constructed at some location along the sub-sea tunnel route, which requires a high construction cost. Therefore, it is intended, as much as possible technically, to minimize the construction of artificial island. However, this requires a longer distance between ventilation shafts, there-by causing increased air leakage at the ventilation duct connection points due to the higher fan pressure being required to deliver ventilation air. Previously the air leakage was studied as an important issue. In this study experiments were carried out to develop the improved duct connection method considering various conditions such as, tunnel length, etc. Additionally, its performance results with leakage rates are shown and compared to the "S" class leakage rate of SIA. As a result, the new duct coupling type of improved method is analyzed as applicable to such a 30 km long tunnel with the leakage rate of $1.46mm^2/m^2$, which is better performance than SIA leakage rates.
