In most cases, EER(Energy Efficiency Ratio) is available to present energy efficiency of air-conditioners. But, EER is not adapt to measure energy efficiency at actual life environment because it is based on fixed temperature and humidity contditions. To overcome this disadvantage, there is need to introduce SEER(Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) established at time varient temperature and humidity conditions. In this paper, SEER measurement method and conditions based on actual life environment of the country is introduced, and discussed SEER value about two air-conditioner type, that is, non inverter air-conditioner and inverter air-conditioner. As a result of, inverter air-conditioner was superior to non inverter air-conditioner at cooling seasonal energy efficiency.

The inside of EMU is supplied with the cooling air from air-conditioner and the fresh air from exterior through the air-conditioner duct which is one of the air conditioning system. The shape of air-conditioner duct is a major factor in determining the air-conditioning efficiency, thermal comfort and energy efficiency. Therefore, this study is to understand the flow characteristics in the air-conditioner duct by three dimensional numerical simulation. The air-conditioner duct was calculated for the design volume flow rate, $2,726\;m^3/h/unit$. From the result of calculation and measurement, the velocity at diffuser outlet presented good agreement in general. [n this present study, the calculation was also performed for three volume flow rate(1,800, 2,200, 3,000 $m^3/h/unit$) and total pressure characteristic curve with volume flow rate was presented.

This study was conducted to find performance evaluation method for automobile air conditioner. Experimental facilities were constructed to simulate wide range of operating condition for the automobile air conditioner. Compressor speed was controled by variable speed electric motor and the power was measured through torque transducer and tachometer was used to measure compressor speed. Parametric studies were conducted in this study, to figure out effect of environment variables on the performance of the automobile air conditioner. The environmental variables are inlet air temperature, relative humidity and air flow rate for the evaporator and inlet air temperature and air flow rate for the condenser. Compressor speed is also changed. The results of this study shows that air flow rate of the evaporator is more sensitive to the performance of the automobile air conditioner than the other variables. However relative humidity of the inlet air of the evaporator strongly affects capacity rather that COP.

반도체 device의 성능을 향상시키기 위하여 패턴은 더욱 더 고 집적화 되고 배선 또한 다층배선 구조를 가지게 되었으며 요구되는 선폭 또한 더욱 미세화 되어 CMP 공정이 도입되게 되었다. 이러한 CMP 공정에 사용되는 소모품으로는 크게 세 가지의 중요한 부분으로 나눌 수 있다. 그것은 slurry와 pad, conditioner이다. 그중에 pad conditioning 공정은 CMP 공정시 pad의 마모에 따라 감소하는 removal rate(RR)값을 회복시키기 위한 공정으로 마모된 pad의 표면을 활성화 시켜주는 중요한 공정이다. 하지만 pad conditioning 공정을 장시간 진행하게 되면 conditioner 표면에 오염물이 발생하게 되며, 오염물로 인하여 wafer표면에 scratch 및 defect을 발생시키는 원인이 될 수 있다. 이러한 문제점을 보완하기 위하여 conditioner의 표면을 변화시켜 공정중의 오염이 발생하지 않도록 하는 것이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 oxide CMP 실험을 통하여 conditioner표면에 오염물이 발생함을 확인하였으며 energy dispersive spectroscopy(EDS) 분석을 통하여 주오염물의 성분이 oxide slurry중 silica임을 확인하였다. Conditioner의 표면을 소수성으로 만들기 위하여 self assembled monolayer(SAM) 방법을 이용하여 표면에 코팅을 하였으며, 소수성 박막이 코팅된 conditioner와 코팅되지 않은 conditioner의 비교 실험을 통하여 오염 정도를 비교하였다.

This study developed a program for detecting charged refrigerant amount in system air-conditioner. System air-conditioner is an air-conditioning system with multiple indoor units. Due to the complexity of the system, it is more difficult to detect the refrigerant amount charged in system air-conditioner than in a general single air-conditioner. Experiments were performed for 6 HP outdoor units with 3 indoor units in a psychrometric calorimeter. The experimental amount of charged refrigerant were ranged from 60% to 140% with 10% increasement. Fuzzy algorithm were emploeed for detecting the charged refrigerant amount in a system air-conditioner. The experimental data were used for curve fitting for general ranges for indoor and outdoor temperature conditions. membership function were determined for whole ranges of experimentally measured data and rulebase were defined for each amount of refrigerant charge. Developed program successfully predicted the measured data within 10% resolution range.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether the bond strength of polycarbonate brackets can be increased through surface treatment. Methods: One hundred polycarbonate brackets (Alice) were bonded to bovine incisors with light-cured adhesive. The bracket bases were treated with one of three methods; sandblasting, plastic conditioner application, and combined treatment with sandblasting and plastic conditioner. The brackets without any suraace treatment served as the control. The shear bond strength was tested with a universal testing machine, and failure pattern was assessed with the adhesive remnant index. Results: The shear bond strength in all experimental groups was higher than that of the control group (p < 0.001). The group treated with plastic conditioner after sandblasting showed statistically higher shear bond strength than the sandblasting only group to (p < 0.05). The group treated with plastic conditioner after sandblasting showed higher shear bond strength than plastic conditioner only group, but the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion: The above results suggest that the surface treatments of polycarbonate bracket is mandatory to improve bond strength, and the most effective method is an application of plastic conditioner after sandblasting.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of two different metal conditioners for non-precious metal alloys for the bonding of porcelain to a cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) alloy. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Disk-shaped specimens ($2.5{\times}10.0mm$) were cast with Co-Cr alloy and used as adherend materials. The bonding surfaces were polished with a 600-grid silicon carbide paper and airborne-particle abraded using $110{\mu}m$ alumina particles. Bonding specimens were fabricated by applying and firing either of the metal conditioners on the airborne-particle abraded surface, followed by firing porcelain into 5 mm in diameter and 3 mm in height. Specimens without metal conditioner were also fabricated. Shear bond strength for each group (n=8) were measured and compared (${\alpha}=.05$). Sectional view of bonding interface was observed by SEM. EDS analysis was performed to determine the chemical elements of metal conditioners and to determine the failure modes after shear test. RESULTS. There were significant differences among three groups, and two metal conditioner-applied groups showed significantly higher values compared to the non-metal conditioner group. The SEM observation of the sectional view at bonding interface revealed loose contact at porcelain-alloy surface for non-metal conditioner group, however, close contact at both alloy-metal conditioner and metal conditioner-porcelain interfaces for both metal conditioner-applied groups. All the specimens showed mixed failures. EDS analysis showed that one metal conditioner was Si-based material, and another was Ti-based material. Si-based metal conditioner showed higher bond strengths compared to the Ti-based metal conditioner, but exhibited more porous failure surface failure. CONCLUSION. Based on the results of this study, it can be stated that the application of metal conditioner is recommended for the bonding of porcelain to cobalt-chromium alloys.
