  • With the advancement of technology, the density of IT equipment, heat load and power consumption continue to increase in high density internal-load dominated buildings as datacenters. To improve the HVAC system's energy performance and efficiency, there is a need to find methods of using outside air. Through cooling tower control that is based on outside wet-bulb temperature, the water-side economizer made it possible to achieve a maximum energy performance improvement of about 16.6% over the basic chilled water system, whereas the air-side economizer, through control based on outdoor air enthalpy, made it possible to achieve about 42.4% improvement.

  • The heating, ventilating, air conditioning (HVAC) system is a very important part of an automotive vehicle: it controls the microclimate inside the passenger's compartment and removes the frost or mist that is produced in cold/rainy weather. In this study, the numerical analysis of the defrost duct in an HVAC system and the de-icing pattern is carried out using commercial CFX-code. The mass flow distribution and flow structure at the outlet of the defrost duct satisfied the duct design specification. For analyzing the de-icing pattern, additional grid generation of solid domain of ice and glass is pre-defined for conductive heat transfer. The flow structure near the windshield, streakline, and temperature fields clearly indicate that the de-icing capacity of the given defrost duct configuration is excellent and that it can be operated in a stable manner. In this paper, the unsteady changes in temperature, water volume fraction, and static enthalpy at four monitoring points are discussed.

  • The purpose of this study was to analyze the energy consumption according to the HVAC systems in 122 elementary schools. To do this, we classified schools according to the HVAC systems. Selected schools were classified to the following groups by the HVAC equipments: EHP, EHP and GHP together and GHP. In addition we divided schools by the number of classes. The main results are as follow: 1) Annual average energy consumption at schools was about 300~900(kWh/students), $30{\sim}50(kWh/m^2)$, 9,000~29,000((kWh/class) 2) The smaller schools, the higher the energy consumption per class; energy usage of 10~19 classes's schools were approximately 3 times higher than 40 classes's schools. 3) Schools where the EHP was installed had the lowest energy costs and energy usage. The difference in energy costs was lower than the difference in energy usage because of the fuel price and the ratio of energy sources.

  • A detailed literature review is presented for the applications of the heat pump technologies on the electric vehicles Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system. Due to legal regulations, automotive manufacturers have to produce more efficient and low carbon emission vehicles. Electric vehicles can be provided these requirements but the battery technologies and energy managements systems are still developing considering battery life and vehicle range. On the other hand, energy consumption for HVAC units has an important role on the energy management of these vehicles. Moreover, the energy requirement of HVAC processes for different environmental conditions are significantly affect the total energy consumption of these vehicles. For the heating process, the coolant of internal combustion (IC) engine can be utilized but in electric vehicles, we have not got any adequate waste heat source for this process. The heat pump technology is one of the alternative choices for the industry due to having high coefficient of performance (COP), but these systems have some disadvantages which can be improved with the other technologies. In this study, a literature review is performed considering alternative refrigerants, performance characteristics of different heat pump systems for electric vehicles and thermal management systems of electric vehicles.

  • Although the importance of good conservation of historical sites including ancient royal tombs is well aware, still not much attention has been paid for facilities to realize it. There are numerous ancient royal tombs spread in Korean peninsula which are opened and some of them are selectively on display for public access. However, the conservation measures of these sites have not been seriously investigated. Even the level of understanding of the underground environment of tombs is not satisfactory. In the present study, we focus on the dehumidification loads to maintain appropriate conservation conditions in terms of temperature and humidity. Two experimental tombs different in size were built in KNU (Kongju National University) campus with the dimensions ($L{\times}W{\times}H$) of $1.0m{\times}2.8m{\times}1.0m\;and\;1.3m{\times}3.0m{\time}1.2m$, respectively, HVAC systems are installed to maintain a suitable condition for conservation, i.e., $22{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ in temperature and $55{\pm}5%$ in relative humidity. The condensed water are measured to estimate the dehumidification loads while the temperature and the humidity inside the tombs were maintained within the specified range.
