In this study, the effects of various operational conditions for floor radiant heating system were researched by experiments. Hot water supply set temperature, indoor air set temperature and supply water flowrate were considered as operational conditions. The control method for this system is On-Off control of automatic thermostatic valve. The purpose of this study is to evaluate indoor thermal control characteristics and energy performance, respectively. As a result, if lower supply water temperature is applied, the supply and return temperature difference is reduced and energy consumption of heat supply is also reduced.

Clay minerals are locally abundant in two hydrothermal areas at Tongnae-Yangsan and Miryang, Gyong-sang-namdo, Korea. This study is done to access the clay forming processes, particularly hydrothermal alteration. Pyrophyllite-kaolin in the Zone is accompanied by sericite, diaspore mixed-layer mica/smectite, alunite, dumortierite and silica minerals. Small nodular diaspore and disseminated fine radiac dumortierite are present in the pyrophyllite-kaoline deposits, the northemly trending belt of rhyolite flows and pyroclastic rock near the intruded by granite rock of Bulkusa Series. Hydrothermal action has formed many clay deposits with a zone containing over 80~90% pyrophyllite, kaolinite, muscovite with a little amount of dumortierite, boehmite, andalusite. Most of the clay deposits occur as irregular, lenticular, massive and assosiated dumortierite was found to coexist with clay deposits. Dumortierite data are as follows: lattice constant a=11.783, b=20.209, c=4,7001, axial ratio a:b:c=0.5835 : 1 : 0.2327, XRD $d{\AA}$ 2.549, 5.89, 5.09.

Thermal conductivity of rocks is one of the most important parameters in designing a geothermal heat pump system, because heat exchange rate depends primarily on thermal conductivity of rocks. In this paper, the measurement methods of thermal conductivity, thermal conductivity of rocks, and heat exchange rate are discussed.

In conventional hydrothermal coordination problem, the lambda-gamma iteration method is generally used for generation schedule. The procedure of classical lambda-gamma iteration method consists of 3 main loops and it is very complex. Therefore, it needs many iterative calculations. This paper proposes an advanced hydrothermal algorithm based on newly developed lambda-gamma iteration method. As lambda calculation loop is removed in the newly developed iteration method, iterative calculations are reduced and whole procedure is simplified. The proposed algorithm is verified on simple system.

Feasibility study on energy saving system by utilizing exhausted heat from subway, which is one of the unused energy, was carried out. General heat source system using absorption chiller-heater was used for comparing to the energy saving system, and payback period method using initial cost and running cost of two systems, was used to perform economic estimation. Payback period was about ten years, and this period might be shortened if nation's economic support enact.

The objective of the present study is to investigate the load delivery characteristics of a hybrid-renewable energy system with geothermal and solar heat sources for hot water, heating and cooling of a residential house in Korea. The hybrid energy system consists of ground source heat pump of 2 RT for cooling with a 150 m vertical U-bend ground heat exchanger, solar collectors of 4.8 m2 and gas fired backup boiler. The averaged coefficient of performance of geothermal module during cooling and heating seasons are evaluated as about 4.5 and 3.8, respectively.

This study describes energy and exergy analysis of the Maeeum-Ri Geothermal District Heating System(MGDHS) of Ganghwa Island, Incheon, Korea. Design data are used to assess the performance of the geothermal district heating system. Geothermal resources of MGDHS are found to be low quality with specific exergy index of 0.029. Exergy losses occur in the pumps and heat exchangers as well as in the geothermal Quid and direct discharge. As a result, the total exergy losses accounts for 5.2% in pumps, 47% in the discharge, and 3.3% in heat exchanger based on the total exergy input to the entire MGDHS. The overall energy and exergy efficiencies of the system are found to be 28.8% and 44.5%, respectively.

A sliding accident on the road have a high percentage by road freezing, especially, it is often appeared at bridges and tunnel of freezing areas. Thus, the stability of road operations is enhanced by preventing a partial freezing phenomenon. According to the geothermal snow melting system analysis, a pattern of thermal conductivity is found out about pavement materials of concrete and asphalt when it is buried. For the feasibility study on geothermal snow melting system, analysis of the ground melting point when operating system, life evaluation of pavements and safety evaluation of pipes are performed.

In this study, the control characteristics and effects of control methods on heating performance and energy consumption for the hot water floor radiant heating control system of a residential apartment were research by experiment. As a control method, On-Off control and outdoor reset control methods with GRNN(General Regression Neural Network) and without GRNN are considered. Also, the control performances with regard to improvement of indoor thermal environment and reduction of energy consumption are compared, respectively. Experiment results show that the performance of the control method with GRNN is better than that of conventional on-off control method without GRNN in the responses of room set temperature and energy saving.
