This study was conducted to develop a heating system for a fuel cell-driven electric vehicle. The system consists of a compressor, an expansion device and three heat exchangers. A conventional air source heat exchanger is used as primary heat exchanger of the system, and an additional water source heat exchanger is used as a pre-heater to supply heat to the upstream air of the primary heat exchanger. On the other hand, the third heat exchanger consists of a water-to-refrigerant heat exchanger. The heat source of the pre-heater and the water-refrigerant heat exchanger is the waste heat from the fuel cell's stack. In the experiment, the indoor and the outdoor air temperature were fixed, and the compressor speed, EEV opening and waste heat temperature were varied. The results indicate that the $COP_h$ of the proposed system is 3.01 when the system is operating at a 1,200 rpm compressor speed, 50% EEV opening, and $50^{\circ}C$ waste heat source temperature in air pre-heater operation. However, when the system uses a water-refrigerant heat exchanger, the $COP_h$ increases to up to 9.42 at the same compressor speed and waste heat source temperature with 75% EEV openings.

The diesel pre-heater has being used in cabin heating and coolant heating of engine to reduce the engine warm up time for commercial vehicle. The pre-heaters are classified as diesel spray combustor and it forms diffusion flame. By using swirler, a recirculation flow of hot product gases is established near the fuel nozzle and it helps the maintaining of diffusion flame. The design difference of swirler can affect on reaction characteristics and temperature distribution inside pre-heater. The purpose of this study is the investigation of the effect of swirler configuration on combustion characteristics. To solve spray combustion problem, the Euler-Lagrange approach discrete model is used to track droplet trajectory and evaporation history. The PDF equilibrium model is used for chemical reaction model. These models are implemented into the FLUENT code.

Electric night storage heater was introduced and disseminated for power grid balancing and efficient management of power generation facility. But fuel cost for heating has been increased rapidly while the cost of electricity increased slightly. This abnormal rate system caused peak load in winter at last. To solve this problem, application of an air source heat pump was suggested. In the study, the effect of replacing night heater by heat pump and the economics were analysed. In addition the expectation of prospect of heat pump penetration was simulated based on surveyed and investigated data. As a result, fund supporting as well as institutional backing was needed for effective propagation and return of investment.

본 논문에서는 겨울철 저온환경에서 디젤 엔진의 연료필터를 검사하기 위한 온도, 압력 및 유량 분석 시스템을 제안하였다. 디젤엔진의 연료인 경유는 특정 온도 이하로 내려가면 파라핀과 같은 반고체 상태인 왁싱(Waxing)물질을 형성하여 유동성이 낮아지기 때문에 엔진 시동이 원활하지 않다. 그래서 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서 블록 히터를 내장하게 된다. 그리고 연료필터의 성능을 측정하기 위해서는 극저온 하에서 엔진 시동 시부터 온도, 압력 및 유량을 분석할 수 있는 시스템이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 제작된 시스템을 이용하여 연료필터 주변의 성능에 관계된 물리량을 측정하였으며 이를 분석하였다. 또한 측정된 데이터는 임베디드 시스템의 웹서버를 이용하여 원격 네트워크로 전송하였고 원격에서 사용자들이 웹브라우저를 이용하여 운전 상태를 용이하게 파악할 수 있게 설계하였다. 설계된 시스템을 검증하기 위하여 제작된 소형 실험 챔버에 설치하고 상온 및 극저온 상황에서 실험하여 연료필터 입출력 측 연료의 온도, 압력, 유량 데이터를 얻을 수 있었으며, 연료히터의 동작 시 연료의 흐름이 개선되는 것을 알 수 있었다.

In the industrial field, various type of fuel have been used for product processing facilities. Recent for 10 years, the usage of natural gas (NG) was gradually increased. Because it has many merits; clean fuel, no transportation, storage facility and so on. There are common safety concept that strict explosion protection approaches are needed for facilities where explosive materials such as flammable liquid, vapor and gases exist. But some has an optimistic point of view that the lighter than air gases such as NG disperse rapidly, hence do not form explosion environment upon release into the atmosphere, many parts has a conventional safety point of view that those gases are also inflammable gases, hence can form explosion environment although the extent is limited and present. In this paper, the heating equipments (Hot Oil Heater) was reviewed and some risk management measures were proposed. These measures include hazardous area classification and explosion-proof provisions of electric apparatus, an early gas leak detection and isolation, ventilation system reliability, emergency response plan and training and so on. This study calculates Hazardous Area Classification using the hypothetical volume in the KS C IEC code.

Characteristics of a phase change type micro actuator have been studied. The micro actuator has been designed for a micro-pump in an active direct methanol fuel cell(DMFC), consisting of an actuating chamber, a membrane, an electric heater, and a sensor of resistance temperature detector (RTD). In the present study, researches have been focused on the response of the actuator to control algorithm of the heater. The experiments demonstrated that the displacement of the membrane increase with temperature variation which is a function of applied voltage, duty ratio, and operating frequency of heating. The results also showed that operation of the actuator with high voltage at small duty of heating is more efficient than the same power consumption of heating with low voltage at large duty.

Recently, Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFC) for portable devices has been received much attention because DMFC has a possibility of higher energy density than electrical batteries and smaller size than other fuel cells. This paper presents the fabrication and test of a thermopneumatic microactuator with a phase change for DMFC. A microactuator consists of an inlet an outlet a chamber, a heater and a sensor of resistance temperature detector(RTD). The micoractuator is fabricated by the spin-coating process, the lithograph process, the deep RIE process and so on. The total size of microactuator is $20{\times}20{\times}0.53mm^3$. When the current is applied, the heater heats liquid in chamber. As a result the liquid vaporizes. The response of temperature in the chamber was measured using thermocouple The changed temperature is $3^{\circ}C$ for 5 sec at 0.032W.

전기자동차 배터리 시스템은 낮은 온도에서 배터리 출력과 수명이 감소하는 문제가 발생한다. 상온 유지를 목적으로 Positive Temperature Coefficient(PTC) 히터가 사용되고 있다. 하지만 PTC 히터는 복잡한 절연구조로 인해 중량이 크다. 중량이 클수록 전기자동차의 연비가 감소한다. 반면에 인덕션 히터는 단순한 절연 구조로 중량 저감에 효과적이며 빠른 온도 상승 특성을 가지고 있다. 따라서 전기자동차용 히터는 인덕션 히터가 적합하다. 인덕션 히터는 LC공진 회로로 구성된다. 정전용량이 클수록 가격과 중량이 상승하기 때문에 인덕턴스를 높여 정전용량을 감소시켜야한다. 또한 인덕션 히터의 주 발열원은 철손이다. 따라서 전자기장 설계 관점에서 인덕턴스 및 철손의 최적화가 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 인덕션 히터 구조 변경에 따른 인덕턴스 및 철손을 다구찌 기법과 유한요소법(FEM) 시뮬레이션을 통해 분석하고 최적화 설계하였다.

A new soot particle generation system has been developed and tested. The soot generation system consists of two sections, a fuel supply and a soot production. In the fuel supply module, either liquid fuel precisely controlled by a syringe pump is mixed with preheated carrier gas and rapidly evaporated or gaseous fuel controlled by a MFC is diluted with dilution gas. The soot production module contains a heater that can raise the gas/fuel temperature up to $1400^{\circ}C$. The physical and chemical properties of produced soot particles depend on the type and concentration of fuel, the residence time, and temperature in the soot production section. The soot generation system will be utilized to produce well-defined soot particles for soot studies such as the evaluation of experimental sampling and analysis processes for the quantitative assessment of PM and BC from ships and the adverse health effects on pulmonary and cardiovascular systems of human body.
