The international competition in refrigerator markets has continuously required the research for sound quality of a refrigerator to improve the quality of a life. In this paper, A new method for evaluation of the sound quality of a refrigerator is developed based on human sensibility engineering by using ANN(artificial neural network). In this paper, the loudness and the sharpness of the refrigerator's signals was used for the input value in ANN's training process because the loudness and the sharpness has a good correlation between the output of the ANN and the target of the individual evaluation In the training process. Two input factor was used repeatedly in the training process to get more optimum weighting value. And then finally we developed the sound quality index of a refrigerator. The developed sound quality index was confirmed by the 96.5 % of correlation between the output of the ANN and the real evaluation. It will be applied to evaluate the sound quality of a refrigerator in the industry.

Sub-Kelvin cooling has been generally demanded for the fields of low temperature physics, such as physical property measurements, astronomical detection, and quantum computing. The refrigeration system with a small size can be appropriately introduced when the measurement system does not require a high cooling capacity at sub-Kelvin temperature. The dilution refrigerator which is a common method to reach sub-Kelvin, however, must possess a large ³He circulation equipment at room temperature. As alternatives, a sorption refrigerator and a magnetic refrigerator can be adopted for sub-Kelvin cooling. This paper describes those coolers which have been developed by various research groups. Furthermore, a cold-cycle dilution refrigerator of which the size of the ³He circulation system is minimized, is also introduced. Subsequently, a new concept of dilution refrigerator is proposed by our group. The suggested cooler can achieve sub-Kelvin temperature with a small size since it does not require any recuperator and turbo-molecular vacuum pump. Its architecture allows the compact configuration to reach sub-Kelvin temperature by integrating the sorption pump and the magnetic refrigerators. Therefore, it may be suitably utilized in the low temperature experiments requiring low cooling capacity.

Miniature Joule-Thomson refrigerators have been widely used for rapid cooling of infrared detectors, optoelectronic device, and integrated circuits of micro electronics. The typical J-T refrigerator consists of the recuperative heat exchanger with the double helical tube and fin configuration, J-T nozzle, a mandrel, Dewar and a compressed gas storage bottle. In this study, to predict the thermodynamic behaviors of the refrigerator with a compressed gas storage bottle during the cool-down time, numerical study of transient characteristics for a J-T refrigerator was developed. A simplified transient one.dimensional model of the momentum and energy equations was simultaneously solved to consider the thermal interactions of the each component of the refrigerator. To account for effects of the thermal mass of the solid, the heat capacities of the tube, fins, mandrel and Dewar are considered. The results show the charged gas pressure of the gas storage bottle has significant effects on the performance of the J-T refrigerator. At the elevated gas pressure of the gas storage bottle, the large capacity of the compressed gas storage does not need to get the fast cool-down performance of the J-T refrigerator in the cool-down stage.

본 연구는 가정용 냉장고를 대상으로 냉동실과 냉장실의 설정온도를 각기 달리할 경우 냉동실과 냉장실 고내의 온도를 실측하여 냉장고 식품 보관 온도분포를 추정하고자 한다. 또한, 각 실의 설정온도를 중심으로 상하로 온도차가 얼마나 큰가를 파악하고, 설정온도로 회복하는데 소요되는 시간을 파악하고자 한다. 그리고 설정된 온도로 회복하기 위해 소비하는 전력량을 측정함으로서 가정용 냉장고의 최적 설정조건을 제시하고자 한다. 그 결과, 냉동실 온도가 $-18^{\circ}C$를 실현한 조건은 Case 3, Case 6, Case 8, Case 9로 냉동실 조건보다는 냉장실의 설정온도를 저온으로 할 경우에만 냉동실의 온도가 적정온도를 나타냈다. 이 조건에서 냉장실의 온도는 최저 $-1.1^{\circ}C$, Case 6은 $-1.5^{\circ}C$, Case 8은 $-1.1^{\circ}C$, Case 9는 $-0.8^{\circ}C$로 영하의 온도를 보였다. 또한 각 케이스의 운전시작 10시간 동안 누적소비전력량은 Case 4를 제외하고는 냉동실 및 냉장실의 설정온도가 낮을수록 컸으며, Case 4는 운전시작이 13:30분에 시작되었기에 09시경에 운전을 시작한 다른 조건보다는 낮시간의 환경온도가 높은 이유로 전력소비가 크다는 것을 확인하였다.

Liquid hydrogen has the best storage capacity per unit mass and is economical among storage methods for using hydrogen as fuel. As the demand for hydrogen increases, the need to develop a storage and supply system of liquid hydrogen is emphasizing. In order to liquefy hydrogen, it is necessary to pre-cool it to a maximum inversion temperature of -253℃. The Gifford-McMahon (GM) refrigerator is the most reliable and commercialized refrigerator among small-capacity cryogenic refrigerators, which can extract high-efficiency hydrogen through liquefied hydrogen production and boil of gas re-liquefaction. Therefore, in this study, the optimal conditions for liquefying gas hydrogen were sought using the GM cryocooler. The process was simulated by PRO/II under various cooling capacities of the GM refrigerator. In addition, the flow rate of hydrogen was calculated by comparing with specific refrigerator capacity depending on the pressure and flow rate of a refrigerant medium, helium. Simulations were performed to investigate the optimal values of the liquefaction flow rate and compression pressure, which aim for the peak refrigeration effect. Based on this, a liquefaction system can be selected in consideration of the cycle configuration and the performance of the refrigerator.

Basic refrigeration effect and efficiency of a thermoacoustic refrigerator is studied. The refrigerator model for numerical simulation is composed of half wavelength resonator and appropriate stack of plate. Theoretical model for thermoacoustic refrigeration suggested by Swift et. al is adapted for numerical calculation. The model contains arbitrary viscosity effect of the gas filled in the resonator. The wave equation is integrated by using 4-th order Runge-Kutta algorithm to give pressure distribution along the stack of plate. Heat flux and COP are also calculated based on the energy flux equation. By analyzing the numerical simulation results, optimum values of design parameters for thermoacoustic refrigerator are obtained.

A Miniature inertance pulse tube refrigerator was designed and tested with a 10 W compressor. Erperiments were carried out for different pulse tube length and inertance tube length. An adiabatic model which considered the pressure drop in the regenerator was used to analyze the performance of the pulse tube refrigerator. Among various design parameters which should be optimized, the pulse tube length and the inertance tube length were optimized. PdV work and several different loss mechanism were included in the analysis to simulate more accurately the physical phenomena in the pulse tube refrigerator. Nevertheless, the simulation program could not completely predict the porformance of the refrigerator. The possible reason for the difference of the optimal point between the simulation and the experiment was explained.

This paper deals with the issue of door height difference (DHD) which occurs for SBS refrigerator necessarily. In order to identify the cause of DHD, analysis of refrigerator structure and entire process from door manufacturing to usage have been investigated. From diverse experiments, it was found that the flatness of the floor was a main causing factor. In order to decrease the DHD , the effects of 6 design parameters to control of cabinet deformation have been investigated by using DOE(design of experiment) and finite element analysis. Based on the correlation equation, it was possible to estimate the DHD for new refrigerator design.

Optimization for the insulation thickness and external shape of a household refrigerator is peformed in order to minimize thermal load through the insulation wall. The one dimensional conduction heat transfer model is adopted to calculate thermal load. Calculus of variation is employed to optimize the thickness and shape of refrigerator or freezer. The uniform distribution of an insulation thickness and cubed external shape make thermal load minimize. Finally, by using both of the computational and experimental method, the thermal load is minimized for a refrigerator/freezer. It is shown that there exists optimal thickness of insulation walls and external shape for given the external cabinet dimensions and freezer and refrigerator internal volumes, Also, the analytical results are well agreed with the experimental results.
