A high performance and low noise refrigerator fan has been developed in order to satisfy the customer's high quality needs, that is, luxury, big size and low noise. In this study, the characteristics of a new developed fan and a current fan was calculated and compared by using numerical simulation. Rotation of a fan makes cold air circulation inside a refrigerator. A numerical simulation of air flow shows distribution and local flow regime of a cold air flow circulation, and revealed a cause of low noise as well. Optimization of a duct shape also decreased noise level.

버섯의 단위면적당 생산량을 증대시키기 위하여 다단으로 재배되는 버섯재배사는 재배균상이 내부공기의 유동을 막는 장애물로 작용하여 균상의 아래쪽과 위쪽간의 환경차이가 발생한다. 이러한 환경차이 때문에 버섯재배 균상의 위치에 따른 생육차이가 발생한다. 본 연구에서와 같이 버섯재배사 내부에서 버섯이 생육되지 않는 작업통로의 상단에 천장방향으로 대류팬을 설치하여 운용하면 재배사 내부의 공기를 전체적으로 균일하게 유지할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 다만, 버섯재배사 내부에 설치된 각종 환경조절장치 즉 유니트쿨러, 입기팬, 배기팬, 대류팬, 가습기 등이 모두 한꺼번에 가동될 때는 버섯재배 균상위의 RMS 값이 속도 23.86%, 온도 6.08%, 습도 2.72%로 나타났다. 하지만 유니트쿨러와 대류팬이 가동될 때는 균상위의 RMS 값이 속도 23.54%, 온도 0.51%, 습도 0.41%로 나타났다. 따라서 버섯재배사의 환경조절을 위한 입기팬, 배기팬과 가습기는 용량이 큰 것을 설치하여 전체적인 가동시간을 줄이고, 유니트쿨러와 대류팬을 조합한 환경관리 방법이 내부 환경의 균일성 향상에 큰 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.

This study analyzes the efficiency of a solar cell attached to an air circulation jacket. A commercially available silicon solar panel was selected and attached at four spots where the body angle was $40-60^{\circ}$ and voltage ($V_{oc}$, V), current ($I_{sc}$, A), and output power (P, W) were measured to determine the efficiency. The solar panel was applied to the outer jacket that operates with two fans to increase the convection that lowers the body temperature. The heavy work of standing, walking, and sweeping of a street sweeper was simulated in the field test. The microclimate within the jacket (with or without a fan) was measured and the subjective thermal, humidity, and comfort sensations were surveyed. SPSS 12.0 statistical package was used for a t-test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The results show that the highest efficiency of the solar cell was at the incident angle of $60^{\circ}$ in terms of voltage, current and output power distribution. The microclimate temperature of the air circulation jacket decreased significantly with the high power of the fan and subjects felt cooler than the jacket with a fan at the incident angle of $60^{\circ}$. Air circulation jackets operated by a silicon solar panel showed a significant cooling effect on the wearers.

In this paper, CFD technique has been used at design stage to predict space air distribution in a cycle stadium with air circulation system. An air circulation flow of 0.67 rev./min was observed at computed results in the stadium space with and without air circulation system. Comparing the thermal comfort of the two models with or without air circulation system showed that the thermal environment in the former was superior in the latter. Energy savings could be achieved for the model with air circulation due to its lower air inflow temperature.

This study was conducted to build the CFD simulation model which can quantify the distribution of the meteorological factors in air-heated greenhouse for chrysanthemum according to the location and capacity of air-circulation fan. The CFD model was also verified by experiment. It was judged that SST model was the most appropriate turbulence model which can properly describe the airflow by the air-circulation fan. According to the simulation results, the differences between the measured and predicted temperatures from 18 points at each height in the greenhouse were $0.2{\sim}0.4^{\circ}C$ in average. This showed a good agreement between the predicted data and the measured ones. The developed CFD model can be a useful tool to evaluate and design the air-circulation systems in the greenhouse with various configurations.

High-volume low-speed (HVLS) fans are one category of ceiling fan installed in large enclosings such as warehouses, large barns and health clubs in order to generate comfortable air circulation. As a rotary blade, aerodynamic performance of a HVLS fan is predominantly related to its airfoil(s), and the pitch and twist angles. This paper first, investigates the effects of airfoil on the performances of three different HVLS fans with NACA 5414, 6413 and 7415 airfoils. The fans have six untwisted blades with the diameter of 6 m and rotate at 60 RPM. The blades pitch angels are $12^{\circ}$, $12^{\circ}$ and $13^{\circ}$, respectively. The results are presented in the form of the aerodynamic forces and moments, volumetric flow rate and streamlines. Regarding the volumetric flow of air, the results show that the model with NACA 7415 has the best performance. Hence, two other HVLS fans with the same airfoil but, with four and five blades are studied in order to investigate the effects of number of blades. From the point of view of air circulation still the six-bladed fan is the best one; however, the five-bladed fan is more efficient in power consumption.

In this paper, the performance of ventilation equipments in enclosed parking garages were investigated for several air distribution systems by numerical method. Air change effectiveness of the non-mixing system was 0.42. It meant that more supply air as much as the design supply air was needed to maintain good indoor air quality. In the high speed nozzle ventilating system which is most expensive one, air change effectiveness was 0.54. Therefore this system satisfied to ventilation design. In the jet fan ventilating systems, air change effectiveness for jet fan ventilating system-A with 18 jet fans and jet fan ventilating system-B with 6 jet fans in circulation mixing arrangement were 0.565 and 0.42 respectively. Jet fan ventilating system-C with 6 jet fans in transport mixing arrangement was 0.535. Jet fan ventilating system-A and jet fan ventilating system-C met the ventilation design. But velocity in jet fan ventilating system-A was over 2.0m/s which is inappropriate in human comfort. Therefore this system is not proper to ventilation. Jet fan ventilating system-C was the optimum one for enclosed parking garages among 5 systems examined in this paper.

Ultrasonic mist fogger and the fan were used for investigating the availability of fog circulation system in greenwall and the potential growing ability of the plant. The mist caused by ultrasonic mist fogger was circulated by the fan through the pipeline and supplied to the pots containing plants. Moisture content of the 3 different soils was measured at different irrigation time points. The moisture content of 15-26% in PP and Co soil was maintained at irrigation of 24H, 18H, 12H in a day. Proper growth condition was found in Ardisia pusilla and Hosta plantaginea at the height of L level after 1 month of growth when the plants were irrigated by the fog circulation system. The results suggest that the fog circulation, by ultrasonic mist fogger to the green walls is system of choice for suppling moisture to plants.

This paper describes the effect of vertical air circulation on the thermal environment in an airport passenger terminal with induced flow by jet fans. In comparing the level of thermal comfort at the breathing line of 1.5 m in height, the results from the two models with or without the vertical air circulation, show that the average PPD is 8% in the former and 23% in the latter, respectively. It is thought that vertical air circulation lends to improved thermal comfort for human in respect of ventilation in a large space.

이 연구는 순환팬에 의해 만들어지는 수평적인 공기흐름이 환경요인들의 수평 및 수직분포에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해 수행하였다. 순환팬 가동 유무에 따라 기류 속도, 기온, 상대습도 및 $CO_2$농도의 3차원 분포를 측정하였다. 온실내 기상인자 분포의 균일성은 외기온이 낮아짐에 따라 감소하였다. 무처리시 기온 편차는 4.7, 습도 편차는 19%이었는데 팬을 가동한 경우 그 편차들은 각각 2.2, 6.3%로 감소하였다. 팬 용량이 증가할수록 측점간 기온 편차가 줄어들었는데, 온실 바닥면적당 $0.0104m^3{\cdot}s^{-1}$ 용량의 팬으로 온실내 적정한 공기 유동을 만들 수 있었다. 기온 및 $CO_2$ 농도의 수직분포는 높이나 팬 용량에 관계없이 상당히 균일한 것으로 나타났다. 폭 방향의 기온 편차를 줄일 수 있는 팬 배치와 소용량의 팬을 다수 설치했을 때의 효과에 대한 연구가 더 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
