Brazing of a stainless steel was described in this article. Brazing is a joining technology without melting a substrate and joining temperature is higher than $450^{\circ}C$. Brazing can be broadly applicable across industries. In particular, brazing of stainless steel is widely used in aircraft parts, car engines, heat exchangers, etc. due to its excellent strength, corrosion resistance and other suitable characteristics. Characteristics of the stainless steel depend on their classification like austenitic, ferritic and martensitic stainless steels. In addition, there are many processes in brazing and various parameters such as brazing heat source, filler metals, joint design, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to know basic knowledge about brazing to achieve good brazing joint. Accordingly, properties of stainless steel and design of brazing joint and related process were described in this article.

Globally there is an increasing need to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions and increase the use of renewable sources of energy. The storage of solar thermal energy is a crucial aspect for implementing the solar energy for space heating in high latitudes, where solar insolation is high in summer and almost negligible in winter when the domestic heating demand is high. To use the solar heating during winter thermal energy storage is required. In this paper, equations representing the single U-tube heat exchanger are implemented in weak form edge elements in COMSOL Multiphysics(R) to speed up the calculation process for modelling of a borehole storage layout. Multiple borehole seasonal solar thermal energy storage scenarios are successfully simulated. After 5 years of operation, the most efficient simulated borehole pattern containing 168 borehole heat exchangers recovers 69% of the stored seasonal thermal energy and provides 971 MWh of thermal energy for heating in winter.

When Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) is vaporized into NG for industrial and household usage, tremendous cold energy was transferred from LNG to seawater during phase-changing process. This heat exchanger loop is not only a waste of huge cold energy, but will cause thermal pollution to the coastal fishery area also when cold water was re-injected into the sea. In this study, an innovation design has been performed to reclaim the cold energy for -35 to $62^{\circ}C$ refrigerated warehouse. Conventionally, this was done by installing mechanical refrigeration systems, necessitating tremendous electrical power to drive temperature. A closed loop LNG heat exchangers in series was designed to replace the mechanical or vapor-compression refrigeration cycle by process simulator. The process simulation software of PRO II with provision has been used to simulate this process for various conditions, what to effect on cold energy and used energy for re-liquefaction and evaporation process. In addition, through analysis the effect of the change of LNG supply pressure on sensible and latent heat, optimum operational conditions was suggested for LNG cold energy warehouse.

This paper proposes an optimum operation method for open type ground heat exchangers. A series of TRTs and artificial heating/cooling operations were carried out while monitoring temperature in the hole of SCW. The ground temperature naturally increases with depth, but a switch between the cooling/heating mode results in a change in the distribution of ground temperature. The effect of the mode change was evaluated by performing LMTD and COMSOL multiphysics analysis for a reduced model with the depth of 150 m. As a result, in the cooling mode, the upstream operation is more efficient than the downstream operation and reduces EWT by $2.26^{\circ}C$. On the other hand, in the heating mode, the downstream operation is advantageous over the upstream operation and increases EWT by $3.19^{\circ}C$. The merit of the optimum operation will be enhanced for the typical dimension of SCW with a depth of 400~500 m. In the future, an open type ground heat exchanger system adopting the optimum operation with variation in the ground temperature will be used in practice.

Fuel cells are known as eco - friendly energy facilities that can use heat energy and electric energy at the same time. Fuel cells are classified according to the temperature and material used, and solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is relatively high temperature ($700-800^{\circ}C$). SOFC requires a hot box consisting of a high temperature stack, a reformer, a burner, and the heat exchangers in order to use energy efficiently. The hot box needs to maintain heat insulation performance at high temperature to reduce heat loss. However, Fibrous insulation, which is widely used, needs to be improved because it has a disadvantage that the thermal conductivity is rapidly increased due to the increase of temperature. Therefore, this study was carried out to develop a thermal insulation, which is applied to multiple layers insulation (MLI) technic, that can be used under SOFC operating conditions and prevent a drastic drop in thermal conductivity at high temperature. The developed insulation is consist of a thermally conductive material, a spacer, and a reflective plate. The thermal conductivity of the insulation was measured by in the thermal conductivity measuring device at high temperature range. As a result, it was confirmed that the developed layers insulation have an good thermal conductivity (0.116 W/mK) than fibrous insulation (0.24 W/mK) as a radiation shielding effect at a high temperature of 1,173 K.

일반적으로 지열 에너지파일 및 수평형 지열교환기는 기존의 연직형 지열히트펌프에 비하여 지표면에서 가까운 깊이에 설치되며, 이 경우 지열교환기의 열 교환 거동은 토사층에서의 열전도도에 많은 영향을 받게 된다. 기존의 연구에 따르면 지하수위 상부에 놓인 흙의 열전도도는 에너지파일의 열 교환 성능에 많은 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져 있으며, 이는 부분적으로 포화된 흙의 열전도도는 함수비에 큰 영향을 받기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 국내에 널리 분포하고 있는 화강풍화토의 열전도도 예측에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 5개 지역에서 채취한 화강풍화토 시료의 간극율과 포화도를 바꾸어가며 탐침법 기반 열전도도 측정시험을 수행하였고, 기존의 열전도도 추정 모델들의 적합성을 평가하였다. 마지막으로 국내 화강풍화토에 적합한 경험적 예측식을 제안하고 이를 토대로 실험자료를 분석해 보았으며 기존 문헌에 실린 실험결과에 적용하여 그 적절성을 살펴보았다.

In this study, an air conditioning system using carbon dioxide as a refrigerant was developed for automotive cabin cooling. Experiments have been carried out to examine the steady state and dynamic characteristics of this system. The system consists of a compressor, a gas cooler, an evaporator, an expansion device, an internal heat exchanger and an accumulator. The compressor is a variable displacement type, driven by the electric motor, and the gas cooler and the evaporator are aluminum extruded heat exchangers of micro channel type. The $CO_2-refrigerant$ charge, the compressor speed, the air inlet temperature of the gas cooler, the air inlet temperature and the air flow rate of the evaporator and the cooling load are varied and the performance of the system is experimentally investigated. As the compressor speed increased, cooling capacity increased, but the coefficient of performance was deteriorated. As the cabin air temperature or the air flow rate to the cabin was set high, both the cooling capacity and the COP increased. In the cool down experiment with 1.0 or 2.0 kW of heat load, the dynamic characteristics of the air-conditioning system were investigated. For a given capacity of compressor, cool down speed was monitored, and the temperature change was acceptable fur low heat load condition.

발전설비의 열교환기는 대형 헤더에 다수의 튜브가 용접된 구조로 협소한 튜브간격으로 인하여 안전성 확보와 수명진단을 위한 비파괴검사에 많은 제약을 받는다. 특히 일부의 헤더 용접부는 부분 용입형 용접구조로 이루어져 있어, 루트부에 용입부족 결함이 발생하기 쉽다. 이러한 용입부족 부분은 구조물의 형상과 결함을 구분하여 판정하기 어렵기 때문에 이를 검출할 수 있는 검사방법이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 헤더와 튜브로 이루어진 열교환기 부분 용입형 용접부에서 발생하는 용입부족 결함과, 용접비드 내의 결함을 검출 하고자 초음파검사 기법을 이용한 자동검사시스템을 개발하였고 이 시스템을 이용하여 용접부의 결함을 효과적으로 검출할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 소성 dolomite와 수증기계의 열화학 반응을 축열식열교환기에 응용하기 위해 충전층 형태의 실험장치에서 축열 및 방열특성에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 실험 data는 수화반응온도 $150-400^{\circ}C$, 탈수반응온도 $700-800^{\circ}C$ 및 수증기 유량 294, 430, 567 g/hr의 실험조건에서 얻은 결과이다. 본 연구의 실험범위내에서는 소성 dolomite중 MgO가 수화반응 과정중 수화되지 않음을 알았다. 따라서 소성된 dolomite중 MgO는 불활성 물질로 취급할 수 있다. 또한 율속단계는 충전층의 입구와 벽면으로부터, 출구와 중심쪽으로 반응이 진행되므로 반응율속보다는 열전달율속으로 진행된다고 생각된다.
