The Loop Heat Pipe (LHP) operates to pump the working fluid by means of the capillary force in a wick structure. Particularly, it is difficult to design and manufacture the evaporator consisted of a grooved container and a compensation chamber as well as the wick structure. This study is related to design and manufacture the grooved container coupled with wick structure, the properties of the wick structure such as the permeability, the porosity, and the maximum capillary pressure were measured to apply the cooling technology for Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT). The container of the LHP was manufactured by the electrical discharge process and the wick structure was sintered with the nickel particle by an axial-press apparatus with the pulse electronic discharge. As results, the properties of the wick were experimentally obtained about 60% of the porosity, 35kPa of the maximum capillary force and $1.53{\times}10-13m2$ of the permeability.

Schools are one of favorable public buildings for Renewable Energy(RE) systems due to site conditions and their energy demand profiles(e.g. daytime-based use of hot water and heating/cooling). Although the government encourages schools to be equipped with RE systems, the adoption of RE systems in existing energy supply systems faces technical and financial barriers. For example, when installing a RE-based combination system(RECS) to meet the energy demand at various school scales, identifying cost effective combination of capacities of the RECS is not trivial since it usually requires technically intensive work including detailed simulation and demand/supply analysis with extensive data. This kind of simulation-based approaches is hardly implementable in practice. To address this, a simpler and applicable decision-supporting method is suggested in this study. This paper presents a simplified model in support of decision-making for optimal capacities of RECS within given budget scales and schools sizes. The proposed model was derived from detailed simulation results and statistical data. Using this model, the optimal capacities of RECS can be induced from the number of classes in a school.

This paper describes a design strategy at conceptual design stage using RETScreen software tool for building application of renewable energy resources. Currently, government and public buildings are required to adopt renewable energy systems with a minimum requirement for the amount of renewable energy supply. Meanwhile, there is a certificate program for private office buildings to enhance propagation of renewable energy systems. When considering application of renewable energy systems to a building, it is worthwhile developing a method to determine optimal design sizes of renewable energy systems. In the paper, a design strategy is introduced with a couple of case studies to determine optimal capacities of each renewable energy system in a building and suggest to use the method to evaluate the system for the building certificate program and the mandatory renewable target program. Objective functions considered in the study are initial system cost and reduction of CO2 emissions from the system. In the optimization study, it is assumed that solar thermal collectors are installed to satisfy solar fraction of 60%. Other renewable energy systems such as ground-source heat pump, solar PV and non-renewable systems such as electric chiller and gas-fired boiler are sized using an optimal sizing method with RETScreen suggested the authors previously.

This paper is concerned with the development of a new method for making and separating ice and saving floated ice by installing an evaporation plate at in-water within a storage tank. In a conventional harvest-type ice storage system, a tank saves ice by separating a formed ice from an installed evaporation plate, which is located above an ice storage tank as an ice storage system. A new harvest-type method shows very good heat transfer efficiency than a convectional method. It is because the evaporation panel is directly contacted with water in a storage tank. Also, at a conventional system a circulating pump, a circulating water distributor and a piping are installed, but these components are not necessary in a new method. In this study two kinds of ice storage systems are experimentally investigated to study the thermal characteristics of ice storage tanks. The results showed discharge of cold capacity of new type indicated the high values about 30~40% based on five time of drive, the temperature difference of inlet/outlet occurred the big range about $1.3^{\circ}C$. So, the new type which makes ice in water showed superiorly.

염색가공공정은 에너지 다소비형이며, 염색조업을 수행하는 과정에서 약 4$0^{\circ}C$ 정도의 열원폐수를 다량으로 방출하고 있지만 이를 회수할 수 있는 기술개발이 이루어지지 않아서 아직 미활용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 열원폐수의 열을 회수하여 이용할 수 있는 방안을 마련하기 위하여 먼저 염색공정의 특성을 고찰하고. 직물별, 공정별 에너지원단위를 조사한 결과 상대적으로 에너지원같위가 높은 T/C, T/R 교직물 업체나 폴리에스테르 염색업체에서 폐수열을 회수하여 이용하기에 적합한 것을 알 수 있다. 그리고 염색업체별, 계절별 폐수의 배출량과 온도를 조사한 결과 각 업체당 평균 폐수배출량은 20,470톤/월이고, 평균폐수온도는 41.$0^{\circ}C$로 나타났다 또한, 배관 침적, 폐쇄 등으로 폐열회수시스템의 안정적 운전이나 열교환기의 성능에 악영향을 끼칠 수 있는 SS의 경우 폴리에스테르 염색폐수가 가장 낮아 폴리에스테르 염색폐수가 폐열회수에 가장 유리할 것으로 판단되었다. 염색공장에서 기존에 사용하고 있는 시스템과 폐수열이용 시스템의 에너지단가를 비교해보면 폐열회수시스템에서 압축식 열펌프를 적용하면 에너지단가는 22.50원이 되어 매우 경제적이며, 증기생산을 위한 보일러 연료로 LNG를 사용하는 업체에 압축식 폐열회수시스템을 적용할 경우가 투자비 회수기간이 2.09년으로 경제성이 매우 우수한 것으로 나타나 열펌프시스템의 적용기술을 보급할 수 있는 기반을 마련하였다.

Bentonite-based grouting has been popularly used to seal a borehole installed for a closed-loop vertical ground heat exchanger in a geothermal heat pump system (GHP) because its high swelling potential. However, if the bentonite-based grouting is conducted in coastal areas, the salinity of groundwater changes in the mineral fabric of bentontie. In order words, an increase of cation concentration in groundwater leads to a reduction in the diffuse double-layer thickness in the bentonite mineral structure, and thus the volume of bentointe-based grouts will decrease proportional to the salinity of groundwater. In this paper, the effect of salinity (i.e., NaCl 0.5M, 0.25M, and 0.1M) on the change of swelling potential for bentonite-based grouts has been quantitatively evaluated for seven bentonite grouts from different product sources. In addition, in case of using addictives such as a silica sand to increase the thermal conductivity of bentonite-based grouts, the possibility of particle segregation has been studied considering the viscosity of grouts and salinity of groundwater.

지열 냉난방 시스템은 친환경적이며 비고갈성인 지열 에너지를 이용함으로서 에너지 자원이 부족한 우리나라에 유용한 대체 에너지 시스템이다. 본 연구에서는 지중 열교환기의 뒤채움재로 사용되는 그라우트 재료의 열전달 및 점도 특성을 파악하고자, 국내 시공 현장에서 사용 중인 벤토나이트계 그라우트 9종과 충남 보령의 해성점토, 그리고 미국 등 선진국에서 사용 중인 시멘트계 그라우트를 선택하여 열전도도 실험과 점도실험을 수행하였다. 벤토나이트계 그라우트는 벤토나이트의 무게비가 증가 하거나 첨가제(천연규사)의 비율이 증가 할 때 열전도도와 점도가 증가하는 경향이 나타났다. 또한, 첨가제 사용 시 그라우트의 점도가 낮을 경우 그라우트와 첨가제의 재료분리 현상이 나타났다. 해성점토에 대한 실험에서는 해성점토가 벤토나이트에 비해 팽윤성이 낮아 그라우트 재료로는 부적합 하다는 결론을 내렸다. 시멘트계 그라우트의 열전도도 실험에서 습윤 상태의 시멘트계 그라우트가 벤토나이트계 그라우트 보다 높은 열전도도를 가지는 것으로 나타났으며 건조 상태로 변할 때 벤토나이트계에 비해 열전도도 감소폭이 작은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 그라우트의 함수비 유지가 지중 열교환기의 열전달 효율에 중요한 역할을 하는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Optimal supervisory control strategy for the set points of controlled variables in the central cooling system has been studied by computer simulation. A quadratic linear regression equation for predicting the total cooling system power in terms of the controlled and uncontrolled variables was developed using simulated data collected under different values of controlled and uncontrolled variables. The optimal set temperatures such as supply air temperature, chilled water temperature, and condenser water temperature, are determined such that energy consumption is minimized as uncontrolled variables, load, ambient wet bulb temperature, and sensible heat ratio, are changed. The chilled water loop pump and cooling tower fan speeds are controlled by the PID controller such that the supply air and condenser water set temperatures reach the set points designated by the optimal supervisory controller. The influences of the controlled variables on the total system and component power consumption was determined. It is possible to minimize total energy consumption by selecting the optimal set temperatures through the trade-off among the component powers. The total system power is minimized at lower supply, higher chilled water, and lower condenser water set temperature conditions.

GSHP(Ground Source Heat Pump) has been extensively disseminated due to the recent increasing demand over new and renewable energy. However, the system reliability has been key issues and barriers to insure a better system performance as designed originally in ISO (international standard organization) standard. This paper introduces a systematic method to verify its intended design target so called as ISO performance data based commissioning technology for a water to air GSHP system. The commissioning technology starts from are to the international standard ISO performance data of a GSHP model and to compare its installed operation data and to calibrate and tune to the target optimum operation parameters. Results indicated that cooling capacity could be raised up to 76.6% from 46.6% from this proposed commissioning technology.
