Since 2001, the Building Energy Efficiency Rating and Certification System have been implemented in Korea. For rating the energy efficiency performance, the evaluation tool for Building Energy Efficiency Rating System has been used. In this study, the evaluation tool was compared with detailed analysis programs(Trnsys 16, ESP-r) through simulations of heating energy needs for apartment, and we checked the character of the evaluation tool.

A variety of Certification systems are initiated, as increased demands for housing quality of building & house owner. New building and apartment built in Seoul metropolitan should acquire Building Energy Rating System and Housing Performance Grade indication System, Green Building Certification System. Building Energy Rating System could be acquired through the certification from energy performance index of environment grade in Housing Performance Grade Indication. Between Housing Performance Grade Indication and Green Building Certification System, There are troublesome to acquire certification because a lot of assessment items are overlapped. At a result, the rational and efficient certification system should be initiated not only to avoid overlap among those certification systems and promote Green Building market share but also efficient certification system operation. We will discuss on assessment items between Housing Performance Grade Indication System and Green Building Certification System and release the improvement method those Certification Systems to avoid overlapping to assessment items.

Entering in the time of high oil price, seriousness of an energy effect sector has given a huge impact and the importance of energy is growing. Especially, building energy occupying 24% of total demand of energy can be expected to reduce energy demand more than other section. To do this, the Building Energy Rating System is applied and implemented in Apartment houses on Jeju, South and Central region. This system calculates into energy saving rate, and certifies the building energy rating. This study evaluates the energy saving rate and rating and compares the difference in energy savings considering to each region and the thermal performance of the window. In result, the standard of the assessment house which is applied to the build energy rating system is demanded to distinguish the thermal performance of window according to regional variation.

TRNSYS 16 had just a wall area and azimuth as an input value about a building shape. So, a geometrical shape of a building was not considered in simulation using TRNSYS 16. In this study, we suggested the more appropriate modeling method for simulation considering of building geometry in TRNSYS 16. To suggest this method, we simulated energy needs affected by shading effect that caused by a geometrical shape of a building, and compared the result to the simulation result of non-shading environment.

The measuring apparatus such as heat meter is legally obliged to be installed and used for heat rating with heat or flow rate in residential buildings in Korea. There are two kinds of apparatus to measure heat consumed at each households, i.e., heat meter and hot water flowmeter. Contrast to the most of buildings with hot water flowmeter well being used for rating, heat meters have been used only 42.6% in the buildings with central heating system. But there is a critical problem in the course of using hot water flowmeter for heat rating, yielding distorted and unfair result which is different from the real value of heat supplied. Experiments with several parameters were carried out in this study to analyze this phenomenon quantively and alternative methods were proposed for rational heat rating.

Energy loss from windows accounts for large scores of heating and cooling loads also in energy saving apartments that is reduced over 30% of total energy consumption. Movable reflective insulations, insulation shutters, blinds, insulated shades are used to reduce energy loads from windows. In this study, energy saving performance of insulated shades was simulated by control methods. According to installation of insulated shades, heating loads were decreased about $10.5{\sim}11.3%$, and cooling loads are decreased about $11.0{\sim}15.5%$ on an energy saving apartment. The heating peak load was reduced about 9.5% by insulated shades, but the cooling peak load is hardly ever decreased. Because in the condition of cooling peak load, latent cooling loads accounts for large score of cooling loads. Difference of the energy loads by a schedule control method and an outdoor detection control was no more than 5% for a base model. In the case of insulated shades with automatic control system, simple time schedule control system would be more efficient than outdoor detection control system that should use several sensors.

Geothermal energy is the heat contained in the earth and its internal fluids. Geothermal energy is stored as sensible or latent heat. Supplied by both internal and external sources, it represents a vast supply which is only started to be tapped for generation of electric power. In general, this is natural dry or wet medium to high enthalpy steam at temperatures above $150^{\circ}C$. For some time, binary systems employing substances with a lower boiling point than water in a secondary circuit have been used to generate vapor for driving turbines at a lower temperature level. The utilization of binary plants and the possibility of production from enhanced geothermal systems can expand its availability on a worldwide basis. The geothermal electricity installed capacity is approaching the 10,000GW threshold. Geothermal energy is not present everywhere, but its baseload capability is a very important factor for its success.

A ground-loop heat exchanger in a ground source heat pump system is an important unit that determines the thermal performance of a system and its initial cost. The size and performance of this heat exchanger is highly dependent on ground thermal properties. A proper design requires certain site-specific parameters, most importantly the ground effective thermal conductivity, the borehole thermal resistance and the undisturbed ground temperature. This study was performed to investigate the effect of some parameters such as borehole lengths, various grouting materials and U-tube configurations on ground effective thermal conductivity. In this study, thermal response tests were conducted using a testing device with 9-different ground-loop heat exchangers. From the experimental results, the length of ground-loop heat exchanger affects to the effective thermal conductivity. Among the various grouting materials, the bentonite-based grout with silica sand shows the largest thermal conductivity value.

This paper describes the multi-heat pumps applied in an ground source heat pump system for an actual building. The performance of a ground source multi-heat pump installed in the field was investigated at heating season. The average COP of the systems with single U-tube and double tube type GLHXs were 4.8 and 5.0, respectively. It is needed to investigate the long term performance of double tube type GLHX, because the reduction of inlet temperature of OD HX for this GLHX was larger than it for U-tube GLHX.

A ground-loop heat exchanger for the ground source heat pump system is the core equipment determining the thermal performance and initial cost of the system. The size and performance of the heat exchanger is highly dependent on the ground thermal properties - the ground effective thermal conductivity, the borehole thermal resistance and the undisturbed ground temperature. Nowadays, precast concrete piles using steel reinforced precast concrete piles - energy piles - are used to reduce the installing cost of the ground-loop heat exchanger. We were carried out some tests to investigate the effects of some parameters such as borehole length, grouting materials and U-tube configuration of the energy piles. 4 concrete piles, each measuring $250mm{\sim}400mm$ in diameter and approx. 10m in length, and rigged with single spiral and 3 U-tube loop of $16mm{\times}2.3mm$ PB piping. The thermal response tests were conducted using a testing device for 4-different ground-loop heat exchangers. During the heating period, the energy piles absorb the heat of 0.89kW to 1.37kW.

Because of their low operating and maintaining costs, ground-source heat pump(GSHP) systems are an increasingly popular choice for providing heating, cooling and water heating to public and commercial buildings. Despite these advantages and the growing awareness, GSHP systems to residential sectors have not been adopted in Korea until recently. A feasibility study of a residential GSHP system was therefore conducted using the traditional life cycle cost(LCC) analysis within the current electricity price framework and potential scenarios of that framework. As a result, when the current residential electricity costs for running the GSHP system are applied, the GSHP system has weak competitiveness to conventional HVAC systems considered. However, when the operating costs are calculated in the modified price frameworks of electricity, the residential GSHP system has the lower LCC than the existing cooling and heating equipments. The calculation results also show that the residential GSHP system has lower annual prime energy consumption and total greenhouse gas emissions than the alternative HVAC systems considered in this work.

If we can supply accurate minute flow rate to the households, we can solve many problems that are occurring in consequences of uncontrolled flow rate for the households. Therefore, this paper presents an innovative solution to the source of the problems by illustrating how we can control the flow rate to the household. This paper proves such problems even can be solved in a case when there is a room turned off the heating.

The field of the large volume heat exchanger for wasted heat recovery ventilation system is being expanded enormously seeing as the fact that the quantity of reducing energies are huge due to the large volume heat exchanger for wasted heat recovery system at large buildings and factories, which consume large amount of energies while it has been arising huge amount of losses in Korea because of the lack of technology.

This study practically investigated the effects of the newly developed isolation-heat paints applied into the buildings and the roads in Japan. After 1970 since the gravitation of population toward the cities has got more deeply involved due to the development of industries, the increased paved roads and the heats come out from the industrial chimneys cause the heat island effect. The dark colored paints on the roads and the stagnations of air blocked by large buildings turned out to be also the main reasons for the heat island effect. Therefore, in order to cool down the heats accumulated in buildings and roads, the developed isolation-heat paints applied into several different regions and the decreased temperatures and heats were accurately measured and reported.

Window system is an essential component for lighting, ventilation and thermal environment in buildings. Moreover, as balcony extension in apartment houses become legalized, the performance requirements of window systems in balcony space are getting complicated. However, at this moment, five properties of the windows are used to represent the performance aspects of the system, including wind resistance, air tightness, water tightness, sound insulation, thermal resistance. And such single properties are not capable to express the performance of a space with the window systems in terms of performance concept. A performance analysis with wholistic approach is required to see the effect of the window system in built environment. Thus, performance-based approach should be established, which will be able to evaluate the goal/function and comfort of occupants/owners. As the first step to develop the performance indicator for the window systme for balcony space, this study conducts a survey to find the required performance aspects. A complete set of performance-based indicators will be developed with verification methods in the later stage of research.

Buildings with multi-complex spaces designed for architectural values and functional requirements give rise to technical challenges in terms of energy efficiency and thermal comfort. Since spaces in such buildings are connected with openings with geometrical complexity, it is hard to define zoning plan and to control heating/cooling loads effectively. This paper presents a case study on the evaluation of operation strategy for a building with multi-complex spaces using computer simulation. The modelling methodology and the results of the simulations are also described.

This study has been conducted to describe the establishment of national measures to reduce world energy consumption and $CO_2$ Emission. Particularly, Reductions in energy consumption from building operation is the most important part to achieve these national objectives. Element to evaluate the quantitative effects of these systems by having rationalized regulation and operation is essential, when planning for building energy reduction design. USGBC(US Green Building Council) have operated sustainable assessment method called LEED, which introduces baseline performance and evaluation direction for building simulation techniques. This research analyzed Quantitative assessments of the building energy consumption and analyzed baseline figures to provide comparative analysis with standard building settings.

These days, the super high-rise buildings construction plans are increased in Korea. But the stack effect in the super high-rise building interrupts the smoke control system's operation because of pressure difference, so it is more dangerous than the general building when firing. Therefore it needs to study about the pressure difference in the super high-rise buildings. We research the smoke control influence factor in the super high-rise building. Reflecting the influence factor, the simulation is practiced the case by case.

The platform screen door(PSD) is installed in the station of the Seoul Metro 9th line for passengers' safety and comfortable environment of the station. The track way exhaust system(TES) is also operated with PSD to exhaust heat released from train. TES can also be used for the purpose of the heat and smoke control in an emergency case of the carriage fire. When the fire is occurred, operation of TES is switched to the smoke exhaust mode form its normal ventilation mode. In the present study, a subway station of Seoul Metro 9th line is modeled, and a 3-D CFD simulation is performed to investigate effectiveness of designed TES in case of fire. A scenario that a train under fire is arriving the station is simulated for several possible operation modes of the TES using moving mesh technique. As a result, temperature and CO concentration distribution in the station is obtained for each operation modes of TES. The effectiveness of TES operation in case of fire is also discussed.

In the present study, a numerical simulation of passenger evacuation in a subway station was performed. Algorithm for passenger flow analysis based on DEM(Discrete Element Method) has been improved to simulate passenger flow in detailed geometry. The effect of grid density was assessed in the present study to show the advantage of using finer grid in the simulation. The method of coupling passenger flow and fire simulation has also been investigated to analyze passenger evacuation flow under fire. In this method the CO distributions in the subway station was used to assess fire hazards of passenger by means of FED(Fractional Effective Dose) model. Using the coupled algorithm a simulation for passenger evacuation flow and fire analysis were performed simultaneously in the simplified subway station. This algorithm could be used in the design of subway station for the purpose of passengers' safety in case of fire.

This paper considers the age of air in a ventilated space with multiple supply inlets. The local mean age of air at a point from one supply inlet is different from those from the other supply inlets. It is the purpose of the present paper to investigate theoretically the relations between the LMA's from each supply and overall combined LMA whether or not to trace the origins of supply air. Transient concentration distributions are calculated with a step-up injection of tracer gas at each supply inlet, and at both inlets simultaneously. The steady state concentration with a continuous tracer injection at a supply inlet works as a weighting factor for the corresponding LMA in calculating the average overall LMA from multiple inlets.

The vortex ventilation system (VV) which uses a rotating finned swirler installed coaxially with the exhaust duct is a very effective local ventilator. VV can enhance the capture depth by a factor of 3-5 compared to the conventional exhaust hood, in the absence of any solid walls nearby. In real situations there may exist ceiling, side wall and floor, all of which can affect the flow field and suction performance by way of the no-slip condition on the walls. 3D CFD simulation was performed in order to see the effect of the floor on the capture performance of the VV. The presence of floor reduced suction flow velocity, and increased the critical rotational speed which is the rotational speed required for stable vortex formation. Flow velocity profile along the axis could be well approximated by a universal functional form when the distance from the exhaust inlet is non-dimensionalized by the distance to the floor. Capture depth, define by the distance from the exhaust inlet to a point of velocity decreased to 10% of that at the inlet, is reduced by about 10% when the floor distance is 6 times the exhaust hood diameter.

Condensing gas boiler units may make a big role for the reduction of energy consumption in heating industries. In order to decrease the energy consumption of a boiler unit, the effective operation is necessary. In this study, the supply water temperature algorithm of a condensing gas boiler was developed. This includes the setpoint algorithm and the control algorithm of the supply water temperature. The setpoint algorithm was developed by the fuzzy logic and the control algorithm was developed by the proportional integral algorithm. In order to analyse the performance of the supply water temperature algorithm, the dynamic model of a condensing gas boiler system was used. Simulation results showed that the supply water temperature algorithm developed for this study may be practically applied for the control of the condensing gas boiler.

We conducted performance test of a 350 kW class wood pellet boiler installed at a dormitory whose total area is $1,354\;m^2$. The maximum heating capacity of the boiler is 350 kW(300,000 kcal/kg). The wood pellet boiler consists of 3 parts; boiler, hot water storage tank and wood pellet storage tank. In testing the boiler, we shut off hot water utility supply and open up floor heating water system in order to measure exact value of the heating output of the wood pellet boiler. To determine the efficiency and heating output of the wood pellet boiler, we measured mass flow rate of wood pellet, the lower heating value(LHV) of the wood pellet, mass flow rate and temperature of water for floor heating and so on. We measured the mass flow rate of fuel, wood pellet with respect to rotational speed of auger, wood pellet feeding screw. We also measured the flue gas concentration of the wood pellet boiler by using a gas analyser. The result shows that the efficiency of the wood pellet boiler is 80.6% based on lower heating value at 124 kW of heating output. At this condition, O2 concentration of the flue gas is 6.0%, CO and NOx concentrations are 85 and 102 ppm.

We developed a program, "CogenSim-$\mu$," to simulate the operation of micro-combined heat and power (${\mu}CHP$) system. The CogenSim-$\mu$ can reflect the variation of energy efficiency by handling the real-time loads (heat and power) fluctuation. The result obtained using this program was compared with the real operation of 30 kWe gas engine driven ${\mu}CHP$. It was found that the CogenSim-$\mu$ could predict the amount of generated-power, recovered-heat and consumed-fuel with the error less than 3%, and heat and power efficiency with the error less than 4%. The CogenSim-$\mu$ reconstructed the profile of on-off cycle, which represented the operation of a facility, with more than 93% accuracy. The CogenSim-$\mu$ can reflect the effects of various factors such as size of thermal storage tank, desired temperature of reservoir water, natural frequency of generator, etc. As a result, the CogenSim-$\mu$ can be used to optimize the ${\mu}CHP$ operation.

The purpose of this study is to investigate planning of urban energy supply systems configuration and operating conditions for the district heating and cooling system using combined heat and power system. Generally the district heating and cooling system has been known to one of the effective way for energy saving, cost reduction and demand side management of energy. Economical analyses were carried out and operating characteristics for some systems were examined in terms of GER factor which represents to the ratio of gas and electricity costs. Rates of the energy consumption and the $CO_2$ emission were compared from the system configuration of the energy supply system with new district cooling system with the conventional one.

RFID method is a non-contact automatic identification technology, which attaches microchips and antennas to an object in a tag form, to send and process information sent to the network using wireless frequency. Drying and curing process is extremely important which minimizes the resistivity of RFID antennas. This research is about the drying characteristic of conductivity ink, and analyzes and compares the hot-air drying process and infrared drying process. Also, the research was done for the improvement in drying performance by using combined process of hot-air and infrared mechanism. The experiment result shows that the hot-air or infrared drying system used alone cannot meet the required performance in drying printing method using conductivity ink. The combined drying system of hot-air and infrared ray showed resistance low enough in short drying and curing time, and this mechanism makes drying and curing process for mass and continuous production possible on-line.

In a gas engine based cogeneration system, heat is recovered from two parts, which are jacket water and exhaust gas. The heat from the jacket water is often recovered by a plate type heat exchanger and used for the room heating and/or hot water supply. Depending on the operating conditions of engine and heat recovery system, there should be imbalance in the flow rate and supply pressure between engine and heat recovery side of the heat exchanger. The imbalance cause the deformation of the plate, which affects the pressure drop characteristics. In the present study, the pressure drop inside the heat exchanger has been investigated in a 1/5 scaled test rig and compare with the experimental correlations, which are used for the design.

The objectives of this study are to analyze of energy consumption and operation conditions of each cooling system for gas and electric driven systems, and to compare operating cost for five different cooling systems; ice storage system, system air-condition, turbo chiller as the electric driven cooling systems, and absorption chiller and Gas driven Heat Pump (GHP) as the gas driven cooling systems. The sample designs are carried out based on the types of business, capacity, installation region and year.

In this study, the domestic and abroad policies and regulations on the gas cooling systems have been analyzed. First, the current policies were investigated in Korea and other countries to stimulate the distribution of the gas cooling systems. The advantage and disadvantage for each policy were evaluated. Finally, several policies were proposed for the effective distribution of the gas cooling systems.

To reduce the peak demand the promotion of gas cooling(absorption chillers and GHPs) is required. In this study the effect of electric power peak-cut has been analyzed using two methods. One is based on monthly LNG consumption data and the other is using the gas cooling capacity installed. Both methods agreed well with each other within the uncertainty of 20%. It was found that the gas cooling had the peak cut effect of 1,500-2,000 MW for recent 5 years (2003 - 2007). The ratio of gas cooling to the whole cooling demand was 12-15%, which is needed to be increased.

Cost related to building equipment accounts for about 85% of the life cycle cost of buildings. Therefore proper selection of air-conditioning system is important for reducing the overall cost of buildings. In this study, large capacity ice thermal storage and absorption chiller-heater for air-conditioning a building with a floor area of $9,900\;m^2$ are compared economically. For easy input and analysis, an Ms Excel VBA program has been developed. To consider all the factors of initial and operation costs effectively, an annual equal payment method is proposed. Under the assumptions made in this study, overall cost of an absorption chiller-heater is less than that of an ice thermal storage, but this is not absolute and different outcome may result if different assumptions are made. This study is useful for those who are interested in choosing an economical air-conditioning system for large-size buildings with simple calculations.

Performance curve of the desiccant rotor is an important information when developing and selecting the desiccant dehumidifier. The effective utilization of the energy is major capacity for the system and the desiccant performance curve is a design ability for a designer. By the rotor supply contract with DRI, ECO-DRY programs would be offered. Moreover, it could make remarkable progress in the desiccant system and energy saving. It is good to introduce the programs with the amicable help of DRI.

The Desiccant air conditioning system has been designed as the industrial dehumidifier under the leadership of developed countries, considering CFC problems in 1990, indoor air quality(IAQ) and outdoor air intake rates. This could make the technical differences between them and us. Nowadays, domestic technology has been developed in some parts but there still remain many challenges to be managed. In this study, these tasks would be handled according to the desiccant air conditioning system market and prospects.

After analyzing the characteristics of the cooling dryer, the mixed cooling dryer was developed by adding the desiccant dryer which supplement the cooling dryer's demerits. Also, the hybrid desiccant cooling dryer was developed to use effectively the exhaust heat energy of the cooling dryer. It could make a more that 20 percent reduction in energy compared with the mixed desiccant cooling dryer. It has become essential to supply this equipment and search the suitable drying product.

The present study has been conducted to reduce the cold air drying rate. According to the cold air drying method, the quality-excellent product could be made and there would be little change of color, taste and smell. As compared with the hot air drying, the cold air drying equipment has the superior dehumidification in a constant drying zone. However, in a falling drying zone that equipment is not energy-efficient because the drying period could be longer by the dehumidificated.

For the energy's effective utilization, the mixed humidifier has been developed and popularized by combining the cooling dehumidifier with the desiccant humidifier properly. This has contributed in many ways to the industry. Hybrid Desiccant Dehumidifier that would be shown in this study could be indispensible in site due to the reduced equipment, with more than 50% reduction in energy.

The mixed cooling dryer has been developed significantly by adopting both advantages of cooling dryers and desiccant dryers. In this study, it is introduced that the desired effect, such as drying rate period reduction and energy-saving, could be achieved only by adding the desiccant dryer if an existing cooling dryer is used. The experiment should be conducted for quite long time due to the material selection, so it is regrettable that there are not enough data.

The present study numerically investigated the effect of the geometry of the flattened tube on the thermal performance of a high temperature generator (HTG) of a double effect LiBr-water absorption system. The heat transfer tubes of the HTG were arranged behind a metal fiber burner. The heat transfer of the tubes of HTG were consisted with a set of circular and flattened tubes in series. FLUENT, as a commercial code, was applied for estimating the thermal performance of the HTG. Key parameters were the tube arrangement in the HTG. Temperature and velocity profiles in the HTG were calculated to estimate the thermal performance of the HTG. The heat transfer rate of a HTG tube was increased, and the gas temperature around the flattened tube was decreased as the pitch ratio was increased. The heat transfer rate for the circular tube bundle with the pitch ratio of 2.48 were larger by 10% respectively than that of 2.10 and the heat transfer rate for the flattened tube bundle with the pitch ratio of 1.88 were larger by 36% respectively than that of 1.63.

The characteristics of hybrid type absorption chiller are studied numerically to use a waste hot water effectively. In the case of the full load, the concentration and temperature of LiBr solution are increase about $11^{\circ}C$, 1.3% respectively at the single effect generator by hot water. As a result, the heat of the high temperature generator are decrease, so the energy can be saved. As the partial load decreased the consumption ratio of fuels are decreased and the reduction ratio of fuels are increased. The variation of COP with the inlet temperature of hot water is higher than that of the flow rate of hot water. The effect of mean temperature difference with solution and hot water of the generator are higher that of flow rate of hot water, it can effect on COP which is sensitive to heat of generator.

Bubble jet loop heat pipe is what heat pipe operate in the horizontality. It is consist of one heating part creating bubble and one rounded U tube type radiator. This study shows whether the heat pipe operates well in the horizontality or not, and what optimized refrigerant charging rate is in the tube. But flow visualization of bubble jet heat pipe was not known. The purpose of this study is to visualize bubble jet loop heat pipe. The experiment was performed by changes of charging rate. Working fluid was R-141b. And heater of 220 V & 100 W was used. we take a photograph of flow visualization of bubble jet loop heat pipe in slow motion.

The stack-effect in high-rise buildings in winter causes many problems such as difficulties in opening or closing doors, infiltration, energy loss, noise and fire protection. Stack effect is influenced by temperature difference between the interior and exterior of building and the height of building. As an attenuation method for stack effect, the architectural methods are generally used. However, as though architectural methods were fully adopted, the problems are reported as ever in tall building. In this study, a new method to reduce stack effect will be suggested. As an active control method against the stack effect, E/V shaft natural cooling method is suggested. In this paper, the concept of E/V shaft natural cooling system and its reduction performance of stack effect by simulation and field measurement will be reported.

Many kinds of problems by stack effect occur in the high-rise buildings that have the simple plan on the first floor designed only by an external wall and an E/V shaft wall. Therefore, some buildings in the foreign countries has made the additional inside walls between lobby and E/V hall as a countermeasure on stack effect. An additional wall in the lobby is very useful countermeasure on stack problems because lobby is a main airflow path in the building. Decreasing effect on stack problems by an additional wall of lobby is reported in this study. An ordinary office building that has a simple lobby plan is simulated and measured in this study. The results show that characteristics on stack effect are changed by methods of applying additional walls and that alternations of countermeasures which building conditions like the kinds of problems and the problem's velocity etc. are considered are very important.

High-rise buildings have some problems by stack effect. And, the solutions on the problems should be determined by considering an overall building. But, ordinarily, the countermeasures on the problems are applied to local part of the building. Local countermeasures often can be possible to arouse the secondary problems accompanied by the stack-effect. In this study, the usefulness of local countermeasures are evaluated in terms of both the reduction effect on problems and the possible secondary problems with simulations. The simulation results show that the application of countermeasures on an overall building is very important and that local countermeasures can be used optionally according to building's conditions.

The unpredicted worldwide oil price makes the energy efficiency technology be more importance than any other period. The small cogeneration system is one of the most representative technology among the energy efficiency technologies, and the Stirling engine cogeneration system has been concerned and investigated due to the preferable characteristics - low toxic emission, low noise and vibration level, and the various form of fuel. A tiny, 1kW of electrical output, gas fueled Stirling engine cogeneration system was investigated. The electrical efficiency and thermal efficiency of the system were measured. The experiment was executed at an independent Stirling engine mode, independent secondary burner mode, and the combined mode. Part load characteristics of the Stirling engine cogeneration system were investigated also. With the efficiency characteristics, the $O_2$ and NOx emission characteristics were measured.

Thermoeconomics or exergoeconomics can be classified into the three fields of cost estimating, cost optimization, and internal cost analysis. The objective of cost estimating is to estimate each unit cost of product and allocate each cost flow of product such as electricity or hot water. The objective of optimization is to minimize the input costs of capital and energy resource or maximize the output costs of products under the given constraints. The objective of internal cost analysis is to find out the cost formation process and calculate the amount of cost flow at each state, each component, and overall system. In this study, a new thermoeconomic methodology was proposed in the three fields. The proposed methodology is very simple and obvious. That is, the equation is only each one, and there are no auxiliary equations. Any energy including enthalpy and exergy can be applied and evaluated by this equation. As a new field, the cost allocation methodology on cool air or hot air produced from an air-condition system was proposed. Extending this concept, the proposed methodology can be applied to any complex system.

The unpredicted worldwide oil price makes the energy efficiency technology be more importance than any other period. The small cogeneration system is one of the most representative technology among the energy efficiency technologies, and recently, the household cogeneration system has been the center object of attention because of the loss of power transmission and the reasonable energy consumption relative to the household (condensing) boiler producing heat only. A tiny, 1kW of electrical output, gas fueled internal combustion engine cogeneration system was investigated. The electrical efficiency and thermal efficiency of the system were measured. With the emission characteristics, the cogeneration system was analyzed. It was showed the gas engine cogeneration system produced the lowest NOx level compared any other cogeneration system due to the three-way catalyst.

In this paper, a simulation approach for the optimum design of cogeneration system is described. For the purpose of the systematic analysis, a simulation tool is developed with which the prediction of the energy load, calculation of operation data according to prime mover or capacity of it, and estimation of economic gains can be carried out. As for the criterion of the optimum design, the economic gains by adopting cogeneration system is taken. Based on the capital, operation, and maintenance costs etc, LCC analysis is to be carried out for the scenarios respectively. In this study, the simulation for the apartment complex is performed and the analysis of the results are described in detail. The effects of the operation parameters such as capital cost, fuel cost, and unit cost for the purchase or sale of heat and electricity on overall economy are also be considered by sensitivity study.

The importance of the evaluation and verification of small-size cogeneration system has been emphasized because there is no KS-code related to the small-size cogeneration system.

Air-conditioning system by ocean thermal energy has been developed in the areas of Europe, North America and Japan because there are abundant amount of thermal energy potential in the ocean and permanent free use for the thermal energy using the air-conditioning system. In the case of domestic ocean thermal energy resource, ocean thermal energy potential exists about 27,155Tcal/year and totally 20,285Tcal/year of possible thermal energy use by heat pump, which are reported from the survey of the 7 domestic near shore cities. Present study is aimed to survey the current development status of domestic and overseas air-conditioning system by ocean thermal energy, especially, for the air-conditioning facility technologies using sea water.

As a unutilized energy, treated sewage water locates widespread near urban areas. From the previous survey, the sewage water is reported to hold energy potential up to 36,000 Tcal/year, which was 2.1% of the total domestic energy consumption and 9.7% of the energy usage in the household and business sector in 2006. Temperature of the sewage water differs locally, but its range is observed in a range of $20{\sim}25^{\circ}C$ in summer and $8{\sim}13^{\circ}C$ in winter. Since the temperature range of the sewage water has a better seasonal distribution about $5{\sim}10^{\circ}C$ compared to ambient air, it is a promising heat sink for summer or heat source for winter. The sewage water is also a high quality heat source from its abundant quantity and uniform temperature. Considering the ambient temperature of Korea is very low in winter, a heat pump system using the sewage water can be an alternative to prevent problems of capacity deficiency and frost formation.

미분탄 순산소 연소는 기존의 연소 방법과는 달리 산화제로 O2/CO2를 사용함으로써 NOx의 발생을 감소시킬 수 있으며, 고농도의 CO2를 쉽게 회수 할 수 있어 큰 주목을 받고 있다. NOx의 배출저감을 위한 기술로는 로 내에서의 재연소(reburning), 단계(staging) 연소등이 있으며, 후처리 NOx 저감기술로는 SCR, SNCR등이 있다. 그러나 이러한 기술들은 비용이 비싸다는 단점이 있으며, 미분탄 순산소 연소조건에서는 화염 안정성이 감소하는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 화염의 안정성과 밀접한 관련을 가지는 화염전파속도에 대해 미분탄 순산소 연소에서 석탄 입자의 물성치와 주위 기체의 특성이 화염전파속도에 미치는 영향을 수치적 방법을 통하여 해석하였으며, NO 저감의 한 방법인 연소가스 재순환(Flue Gas Recirculation)에 따른 연소특성 및 NO 생성 메커니즘의 영향과 석탄을 가스화 시키는 방법에 따른 연료의 연소특성에 대해 해석하였다.

Desiccant based air conditioning system offers a promising alternative to conventional one using vapour compression refrigeration for energy saving and greenhouse gas reduction. It is a heat driven cycle which has high potential for the use of low grade heat source such as the waste heat from the cogeneration plant or the solar thermal energy. In this study, the cooling performance of a desiccant cooling system incorporating a regenerative evaporative cooler was characterized in various operation conditions through numerical simulation.

The polymeric desiccant rotor is made from the super absorbent polymer by ion modification. The moisture sorption capacity of the super desiccant polymer(SDP) is 4 to 5 times larger than those of common desiccant meterials such as silica gel or zeolite. It is also known that SDP can be regenerated even at the relatively low temperature. To fabricate the desiccant rotor, firstly the SDP was laminated by coating the SDP on polyethylene sheet. Then corrugated and rolled up into a rotor. The diameter, the depth, the dimensions of the corrugated channel, etc. were pre-determined from numerical simulation on the heat and mass transfer in the desiccant rotor. The dehumidification performance was tested in a climate chamber. The relevant tests were carried out at the process air inlet temperature of $32^{\circ}C$, the regeneration air inlet temperature of $60^{\circ}C$ and the inlet dew-point temperature of both the process air and the regeneration air of $18.5^{\circ}C$, when the rotation period is long, the moisture sorption is not effective. In the desiccant rotor developed in this study, the optimum rotation period is found about 350s at the regeneration temperature of $60^{\circ}C$. It was found from further experiments that the optimum rotation tends to decreases as the regeneration temperature increases. Meanwhile, the outlet temperature of the process air deceases monotonically as the rotation period increases.

In this study the performance analysis and cooling capacity of desiccant cooling system incorporating regenerative cooler and direct evaporative cooler in the regeneration air inlet were investigated on the condition of low regeneration temperature and time rotation 180s and area ratio of regeneration to dehumidification section 0.7. The cooling capacity and COP are evaluated at various effectiveness values of the direct evaporative cooler or the regenerative evaporative cooler. As either of effectiveness of the regenerative and direct evaporative coolers of desiccant cooling system increases, both the cooling capacity and COP increase, but effectiveness value of regenerative cooler gives the opposite effect on the system performance. It is found that effectiveness of regenerative cooler less than 0.7 shows the optimum cooling capacity.

This study presents the new idea of liquid desiccant system with extended surface to reduce the system size. The extended surface is inserted between vertical cooling/heating tubes to increase the mass transfer area, and the liquid desiccant flows through the tube wall and the extended surface. Mathematical models for heat and mass transfer between liquid desiccant and air stream at tube wall and extended surface are provided. Dimensionless design parameters governing heat and mass transfer phenomena around the tube and the extended surface are identifier, and dimensionless operating parameters depicting system operating condition including flow rate ratio between dehumidification/regeneration processes, and mass flow rate ratio between air stream and liquid desiccant are explained. The effects of the parameters on system performance are summarized.

Liquid desiccant cooling technology can supply cooling by using waste heat and solar heat which are hard to use effectively. For compact and efficient design of a dehumidifier, it is important to sustain sufficient heat and mass transfer surface area for water vapor diffusion from air to liquid desiccant on heat exchanger. In this study, the plate type heat exchanger is adopted which has extended surface, and hydrophilic coating and porous layer coating are adopted to enhance surface wettedness. PP(polypropylene) plate is coated by porous layer and PET(polyethylene terephthalate) non-woven fabric is coated by hydrophilic polymer. These coated surfaces have porous structure, so that falling liquid film spreads widely on the coated surface foaming thin liquid film by capillary force. The temperature of liquid desiccant increases during dehumidification process by latent heat absorption, which leads to loss of dehumidification capacity. Liquid desiccant is cooled by cooling water flowing in plate heat exchanger. On the plate side, the liquid desiccant can be cooled by internal cooling. However the liquid desiccant on extended surface should be moved and cooled at heat exchanger surface. Optimal mixing and distribution of liquid desiccant between extended surface and plate heat exchanger surface is essential design parameter. The experiment has been conducted to verify effective surface treatment and distribution characteristics by measuring wall side flow rate and visualization test. It is observed that hydrophilic and porous layer coating have excellent wettedness, and the distribution can be regulated by adopting holes on extended surface.

In this study, a consumer willingness to pays for residential heating systems are estimated by economic valuation method. The major Korean residential heating systems in apartments are central heating system (CH), district heating system (DH), and individual heating system (IH). However, DH and IH systems are adopted in newly constructed apartments. Each heating system has own characteristics which residents can identify and value. 700 households in apartment were surveyed to analyze the preference of the residential heating systems and to estimate willingness to pay. We find that the households in DH system are more satisfied with their heating system than the households in other systems overall and that consumers prefer an apartment with DH system than with IH system and the willingness to pay for IH system is less than DH system.

The research are performed to check the characteristics of the ice slurry transport system for the district cooling. The system are installed at the 1st floored building which is as large as the $1204\;m^2$ ($86\;m{\times}14\;m$), and the pumping power and branching characteristics are measured by transporting of the ice slurry. The ice slurry transporting pipe is as long as 200 m. For the same cooling load, the higher IPF is, the lower the transporting flow rate and the pumping power are. But when the IPF is higher than 15%, no less decrease of the pumping power does happen. For the branching characteristics, through the branch pipe where the flow resistance is higher, the higher IPF is measured. A little higher IPF is measured at the thermal expansion branch.

Maintaining an IAQ with fresh in school building is very important because the good IAQ can be possible to improve the academic performance. Since school buildings are very dense and require a lot of fresh air, the need for ERV(Energy Recovery Ventilator) has become obvious. While opening a window does provide ventilation, the building's heat and humidity will then be lost in the winter and gained in the summer, both of which are undesirable for the indoor climate and for energy efficiency. ERV technology offers an optimal solution: fresh air, better climate control and energy efficiency. However, when the outdoor air condition is favorable to control the indoor environment such as spring and autum in Korea, heat exchange in ERV would rather increase the cooling load than diminish.

In Korea, since the implementation of the GMO Law, the intrest of biosafety level 3(BL3) lab. is increasing. In this study, using CONTAM which is applying multizone modelling, the multizone simulation for design verification of BL3 lab. was performed. In BL3 lab., because required air change rate is greater than general estimated air-conditioning load and it is difficult to maintain room pressure difference efficiently, to maintain pressure difference between laboratory rooms is important through sealing condition of doors and proper airflow control of laboratory rooms.

Multizone simulation results show that these approach methods are used as a tool for the design and verification of BL3 lab.

In the perspective of saving energy in buildings, the high performance of insulation and air tightness for improving the heating and the cooling efficiency, has brought economically positive effects. However, these building energy saving technologies cause the lack of ventilation, which is the direct cause of increasing the indoor contaminants, and is also very harmful to the residents, because they spend over 90% of their time indoors. Therefore, the ventilation is important to keep the indoor environment clean and it can also save the energy consumption. In this study, a HEPA type nano ceramic filter is designed as a passive ventilation system to collect airborne particles and to supply fresh outdoor air. The double layer filter, which has $30{\mu}m$ in diameter at the conditions of 10wt% of concentration and 3kV/cm of the electric intensity, is produced by electrospinning.

The photovoltaic/thermal collectors (PV/T collectors) combine the solar thermal collector and photovoltaic modules. They can produce thermal energy in the form of hot air or hot water, and converts solar radiation into electricity. The collecctors can improve the electrical performance of PV modules as the heat from the PV module carried away by the thermal part of the system keeping temperatures lower. The basic water cooled PVT collector has metallic water pipes attached to the back of a PV collector. There are main parameters affecting the performance (electrical and thermal) of PVT collectors. This paper analyzed the experimental performance of glazed water PVT module, considering the parameters of solar radiation, inlet water temperature and ambient temperature.

Using the numerical model, the heat transfer characteristics of spiral type receiver for dish-type solar thermal systems are known and the thermal performance of the receiver can be estimated.

The excess heat that is generated from PV modules can be removed and converted into useful thermal energy. A photovoltaic-thermal(PVT) module is a combination of photovoltaic module with a solar thermal collector, forming one device that receives solar radiation and produces electricity and heat simultaneously. In general, two types of PVT can be classified: glass-covered PVT module, which produces high-temperature heat but has a slightly lower electrical yield, and uncovered PVT module, which produces relatively lower temperature heat but has a somewhat higher electrical performance. In this paper, the experimental performance of two types of the PVT combined module(water type), glazed(glass-covered) and unglazed, was analyzed. The electrical and thermal performance of the PVT combined modules were measured in outdoor conditions, and the results were compared.

In this study, dimensionless correlations of frost properties (i.e. the thickness and surface temperature of frost) on heat exchanger fin with nonuniform temperature distribution are proposed from frosting experiments. We analyzed the local fin temperature distribution, frost thickness and frost surface temperature on a 2D fin; in the airflow direction and the direction perpendicular to airflow. As a result, the frost growth on the fin had a close relation with fin heat conduction. The dimensionless correlations for the average frost properties were expressed as a function of dimensionless temperature, humidity ratio, Reynolds number, and Fourier number. These correlations agreed well with experimental data with the error less than 14%.

The present study measured frost pattern on a cylinder to propose empirical correlation equations for the local and average frost thickness, frost density and frost mass. The key parameters were diameter of the cylinders (7mm, 20mm), cooling surface temperature of the circular tube, absolute humidity of air, air temperature and air velocity. A 50% ethylene glycol aqueous solution was applied as a coolant. The frost thicknesses at both front and rear were larger than those at the other parts, while they were increased as diameter of the cylinder was increased. The local frost thicknesses at high air velocity were more uniform than those at low air velocity. The values predicted by Kim et al. under the freezer condition showed larger by the maximum of $30{\sim}50%$ than the measured data under heat pump condition. The empirical correlations for the local and average frost thickness and frost mass were proposed. The correlation equations for the frost thickness and frost mass under the heat pump condition in the present study might predict more accurate than the other correlation equations. The proposed correlations might be applied for the freezer condition within the maximum 15% deviation from the previous correlations under freezer condition.

The water is faster about 30% than paraffin in cooling-down time of heat storage materials with load and unload.

Binary nanoemulsions which are defined as the, oil-droplet suspensions in binary solution ($H_2O$/LiBr), are developed to enhance the heat and mass transfer performance of absorption refrigeration systems. In this study, a novel two-step method is proposed to prepare the stable oil-in-binary solution (O/S) emulsion. Polymer is used as a steric stabilizer to stabilize the oil-droplets in a strong electrolyte ($H_2O$/LiBr). It is found that the thermal conductivity of the binary nanoemulsion is inversely proportional to the emulsion size while the concentrations of oil and $H_2O$/LiBr are less dominant for the thermal conductivity of binary nanoemulsions.

Due to environmental concerns $CO_2$ has been reintroduced as a potential candidate to replace HFCs in refrigeration systems. Oils are always required in a vapor-compression cycle, and thus actual working fluid in the system is $CO_2$-oil mixtures even though the oil concentrations are low at the heat exchangers and the expansion device. The cooling heat transfer coefficients for $CO_2$-oil mixtures under supercritical condition are required to designing of the gas cooler in the $CO_2$ refrigeration system properly. In the present study, the gas cooling heat transfer coefficients for $CO_2$-PEC9 was estimated by using the Gnileinski correlation, and the Kim and Ghajar model through the previous prediction models for the thermo-physical properties of $CO_2$-oil mixture. The Gnileinski correlation was used when the oil wt.% in the mixture is less than 1.0, and for the higher oil concentration the Kim and Ghajar model was applied. The estimated results agree with the experimental results conducted by the Dang et al.

Exergy is the amount of reversible work obtainable when some matter is brought to a state of thermodynamic equilibrium with ambient. This exergy is availability or useful work induced from carnot cycle, and this can calculate the irreversible loss work which occurs within any thermal or power cycle. The exergy ratio is the value of exergy divided by enthalpy of ambient reference, where the quality of energy or enthalpy in substances is evaluated by exergy ratio. Exergy is very important in optimal design method of thermal system or each component, and the value of exergy at given state is calculated by equation. Here, designer can easily understand and find the value of enthalpy because enthalpy is graphically drawn in chart, however exergy did not. In this paper, exergy and exergy ratio of air were drawn on temperature-entropy chart, and we wish to this chart is a help to design, analysis and education.

In this paper, confined multiple slot jet impingement with exhaust ports is investigated numerically. A flow cell, defined as volume sectioned by the impingement and confinement surfaces and the centerlines of adjacent nozzle and exhaust port, is chosen for computational domain. The effects of Reynolds number and geometrical parameters on the heat transfer performance and the flow characteristics are studied. For turbulence, the Abe-Kondoh-Nagano version of the low-Reynolds k-$\varepsilon$ model is employed. The results showed that the local Nusselt number distribution is shifted down and show poor heat transfer performance for small Reynolds number and small ratio of the lateral and axial length of flow cell. The rest of range, except the range of the shift phenomenon, can be classified into three groups by heat transfer characteristics.

Several nuclear power plants in Korea have experienced wall thinning damage in the area around the impingement baffle-installed downstream of the high pressure turbine extraction stream line inside number 5A and 5B feedwater heaters. At that point, the extracted steam from the high pressure turbine is two phase fluid at high temperature, high pressure, and high speed. This paper describes operation of experience and numerical analysis composed similar condition with real high pressure feedwater heater. This study applied several impingement baffle plates to feedwater heater same as previous study. In addition, it shows difference of pressure distribution and value between single phase and two phase based on experience and numerical analysis.

Feedwater heaters of many nuclear power plants have recently experienced severe wall thinning damange, which will increase as operating time progresses. Several nuclear power plants in Korea have experienced wall thinning damage in the area around the impingement baffle inside feed-water heater installed downstream of the turbine extraction stream line. At that point, the extract steam from the turbine is two phase fluid at high temperature, high pressure, and high speed. Since it flows to reverse direction after impinging the impingement baffle, the shell wall of feedwater heaters may be affected by flow-accelerated corrosion. In this paper, to compare wall thinning range according to change entrance nozzle diameter and position with reference numerical analysis model's wall thinning range, various numerical analysis models applied. In case of changing diameter, four different diameter is applied. And a side of nozzle position, two different position-vertical type and parallel type-is applied. And then this paper describes operation of numerical analysis which is composed similar condition with real feed water heater. In conclusion, this study shows effective design for shall wall thinning by changing nozzle diameter and position.

Test models which have geometrical similarities with a real room air conditioner (RAC) have been manufactured including visualization windows so that a laser beam can pass through a cross flow fan. Then, flow distributions of the RAC have been investigated using a visualization technique such as a Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) to analyze an efficiency and noise of the RAC. Pitot tubes have also been used to measure the flow velocity inside the RAC with various positions to confirm the measurement accuracy of the PIV technique. The measured flow velocities have been analyzed and new designs of the RAC have been proposed to improve the efficiency and to reduce the noise for the RAC in this study.

In this study, the numerical study has carried out to analyze the leakage in a steam turbine labyrinth seal. We modified tooth shape of the labyrinth seal and finds out difference of leakage in this study. Original model is straight labyrinth seal and its modified model is slant labyrinth seal. The numerical analyses are implemented on two models. The numerical results show that each leakage of tooth shape are found 0.4781 kg/s and 0.4485 kg/s, respectively. Slant labyrinth seal seals in a steam better than straight labyrinth seal. Since, actual clearance of the stream function in the slant model is smaller than the straight model.

The drag reduction(DR) for Betaine+Amin and Xantan Gum as kinds of surfactant and Polyacrylamide as kinds of polymer solution according to the fluid velocity, temperature and surfactant concentration were compared experimentally. For this study, two kinds of experimental apparatus for short time and long time measurement were established. Each experimental appratus was equipped with hot water storage tanks, pumps, testing pipe network, flowmeter, two pressure gauges and data logging system was built for them. Results showed that Betaine+Amin and Xanthan Gum as kinds of surfactant had appeared optimal DR around 200-500 ppm and their DR tended to be decreased when flow velocity increased but Polyacrylamide as kinds of polymer solution showed the opposite trend to be increased when flow velocity increased. The both of them showed above 40% DR in the case of better condition by the short term measurement. But Polyacrylamide as kinds of polymer solution showed more degradation than Betaine+Amin and Xanthan Gum as kinds of surfactant by the long term measurement. As a result, Betaine+Amin and Xanthan Gum as kinds of surfactant showed better materials to use to the district heating system.

The quantity of discharged oil from a compressor is one of the most important issues for proper operation of refrigeration system. If the oil is increased in the system not only pressure drop is increased in other components, such as evaporator and gas cooler but also heat transfer coefficient in the heat exchangers is decreased. In addition, the lack of oil in the compressor may cause a critical of the system failure. In this study, one stage single rotary compressor is used for measuring oil circulation ratio(OCR). Carbon dioxide and PAG oil are used as refrigerant and lubricant. Using a U-tube densimeter, mixture density is measured. Characteristics of oil circulation ratio have been investigated for $CO_2$ rotary compressor in the range of operation frequency 45 Hz to 63 Hz and the suction temperature range of $0^{\circ}C$ to $15^{\circ}C$. The results obtained indicate that the oil circulation ratio is increased as the suction temperature or compressor operating frequency is increased.

Recently, research and development of the linear compressor are being active. The reason is that the one has not only higher efficiency than reciprocating type, but also lower noise. But because the dicharge valve of linear compressor is operated in high pressure and temperature circumstance, it is important to prevent leakeage. In this paper three other plastic reinforced composite materials were used. Those are TPI, PEEK and PEK which were containing other volume and kind of carbon fibers. First, for assessing mechanical properties, we measured the hardness and the heating property of the trst sepecimen by the microvickers hardness tester and the differential scanning calorimeter respectively. Finally, through FALEX tester, we could know the characteristics of the wear proving the results of before-conducted experiments.

In this paper, a rolling piston rotary compressor having a combined vane and roller unit has been introduced. In a conventional rotary compressor, sliding motion takes place between the vane nose and roller. By combining the vane and the roller in one unit, gas leakage through a clearance between the vane nose and the roller can be eliminated, and the frictional loss between them can also be reduced to almost nought. Compressor model with the combined vane and roller has been fabricated and tested in a compressor calorimeter and computer simulation program has been developed to confirm merits of the new mechanism. In a test, cooling capacity has been found to be increased by 1.4%, and the compressor input decreased by 0.3%, resulting in 1.7% increased in EER. Simulation program confirmed the calorimeter test results and the merits of the new model as mentioned above.

For large reciprocating compressors in parallel operation, an analytical study has been carried out on the gas pulsation in associated discharge piping lines. Since the pressure pulsation at a valve, valve dynamics, and the gas flow rate through the valve are interrelated, affecting one another, these need to be solved simultaneously. Acoustic transfer matrix method, which relates acoustic pressure and velocity at one location to those at another location, has been adopted to calculate the effect of the gas flow at one valve location on the gas pulsation at other valve locations.

In this study, lubrication characteristics of sliding members were compared with the change of the hardness of friction surfaces and the application of nano-oil. The materials of the specimens were gray cast iron (AISI 35, AISI 60) and nickel chromium molybdenum steel (AISI 4320). The Friction coefficients and the temperature variations of on the frictional surfaces were measured by disk-on-disk tribotester under the condition of fixed rotating speed. The friction surfaces were observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). In the results, the friction coefficients of the disk surface were increased as hardness difference was increased. The friction coefficient lubricated in nano-oil was less than mineral oil. This is because a spherical nano particle plays a tiny ball bearing between the frictional surfaces, improved the lubrication characteristics.

Due to the law of use of sustainable alternative energy recently legislated, many public institutions are ordered to use renewable energy. So it gets people's eyes on Geothermal energy system among other suggested renewable energy. Since there is hardly existence of a volcanic region, Geothermal heat pump system is generally used most in Korea. However, the important technology and materials are not localized and further, with only our technical skills it is arduous to popularize and develop Geothermal energy because of lack of revitalization related to the law and the regime for locally suitable Data-base. Moreover, an access of renewable energy is too much hard because of people's low interests about Geothermal energy. But fortunately, the well-studied about Geothermal heat system started to be adopted in many other provinces. Therefore, we study this with intend to popularize and develop Geothermal energy.

Energy planning for hybrid energy system is important to increase the flexibility in the urban community and national energy systems. Expected maximum loads, load profiles and yearly energy demands are important input parameters to plan for the technical and environmental optimal energy system for a planning area. The method for energy demand prediction has been based on artificial neural networks(ANN). The advantage of ANN with respect to the other method is their ability of modeling a multivariable problem given by the complex relationships between the variables. This method can produce 10% of errors hourly load profile from individual building to urban community. As the results of this paper, energy demand prediction system has been developed based on simulink.

In order to improve the efficiency of the main transformer in a tilting train, the optimal operation of a cooling system is necessary. Mathematical models of a main transformer cooling system were developed. These include models for the main transformer, the oil pump, the oil cooler, and the blower. The optimal oil temperature algorithm was also developed. This consists of the optimal setpoint algorithm and the control algorithm. A simulation program was developed by using mathematical models and the optimal oil temperature algorithm. Simulation results showed that the dynamic behavior of a main transformer cooling system was predicted well by mathematical models and a main transformer cooling system was controlled effectively by the optimal oil temperature algorithm.

This paper presents precise temperature control of oil outlet in an oil cooler with hot-gas bypass control as an industrial refrigerator. The control system was designed for obtaining precise temperature control performance even though abrupt disturbances based on flow rate control of hot-gas bypass. PID controller was adopted in feedback control system. We showed that the gain of PID could be easily determined by using gain-tuning methods without any numerical model. Through some experiments, excellent control performances such as overshoot within 1.7%, steady state temperature error within ${\pm}0.1^{\circ}C$ were established by a simple PI controller. We expect that the system can control the target temperature within error of $0.33^{\circ}C$ under abrupt disturbances.

A dynamic model has been developed to investigate the operability of a single and double-effect solar energy assisted parallel type absorption chiller. In the study, main components and fluid transport mechanism were modeled. And solar radiation and the solar collector also were also modeled along with its control design. The model was run for the single mode with solar energy supply only and the solar/gas driving double effect mode. From the simulation results, it was found that the present configuration of the chiller is not capable of regulating solution flow rates according to variable solar energy input. And the issues of the excessive circulation flowrate and the mismatch between available solar power and cooling load discourages the use of the single mode, but the dual use of gas and solar power is recommendable in view of controllability and enhanced COP.

Noise is one of the major environmental problems in human life. But hot water distributers with the flow rate control valve bring about often noise according to the heating control condition in residential buildings. The sound power level increased as the flow rate and pressure difference increased. And thus, experimental analyses for the flow rate control and the pressure difference control were carried out in this study to reduce the noise emitted from the flow rate control valve. As the results, the flow rate control method using a SMA(Shape Memory Alloy)-valve and the flow rate control system using a pressure difference sensor can be expected to control noise in the region of below 50 dB of sound power level.

In vapor compression systems which use refrigerant as a working fluid, the oil is commonly used for compressor lubrication. Since the presence of lubrication oil can change the characteristics properties of refrigerant, the oil affects the heat transfer performance of heat exchanger to a large extent. In this paper, we focus on the effect of PVE oil experimentally on heat transfer performance of the fin-tube heat exchangers which use R410A as a refrigerant. To evaluate the heat transfer performance, the refrigerant to air type test facility chamber has been used. Fin-tube heat exchanger with grooved has been tested while according to the oil mass fraction variation from nearly zero to 1.7 wt%. It was found that the low level of oil mass fraction has an obvious effect on heat transfer performance, while the high level seems no significant influence. The influence of the oil mass fraction to heat transfer performance, however, is different between evaporation and condensation.

Beside, the micro-channel heat exchanger could be appled to $CO_2$ system appropriately because of a small pressure drop and high heat transfer rate.

The plate heat exchanger(PHE) in heat pump has two flow streams of the refrigerant and water. The flow direction of the refrigerant, unlike that of water, can be changed by a 4-way valve depending on operating condition. Therefore the flow arrangement is a parallel flow for heating and a counter flow for cooling, respectively. In this study, the effects of the flow direction of the water on the heat transfer rate are investigated experimentally. The experiments are carried out for brazed plate heat exchangers under a parallel and counter flow conditions in evaporation and condensation. The experimental parameters in this study include the mass flux of the refrigerant 410A from 3 to $14\;kg/m^2s$ and the flow patterns for the pressure of PHE fixed at 0.97 and 2.46 MPa. The results show that both the heat transfer rate and frictional pressure drop across the PHE increase with the mass flux. The heat transfer rate of the refrigerant 410A for evaporation show great sensitivity to flow direction of the water. The heat transfer rate for evaporation with a counter flow are 5-30% higher than that with a parallel flow.

The results from this correlation equation showed fairly good agreement with experimental data.

The refrigerant R-134a flow distributions are experimentally studied for a round header/ten flat tube test section simulating a brazed aluminum heat exchanger. Three different inlet orientations (parallel, normal, vertical) were investigated. Tests were conducted with downward flow for the mass flux from 70 to $130\;kg/m^2s$ and quality from 0.2 to 0.6. In the test section, tubes were flush-mounted with no protrusion into the header. It is shown that normal and vertical inlet yielded approximately similar flow distribution. At high mass fluxes or high qualities, however, slightly better results were obtained for normal inlet configuration. The flow distribution was worst for the parallel inlet configuration. Possible explanation is provided based on flow visualization results.

On the other hand, the performance of pressure drop for zigzag channel $100^{\circ}$ is remarkably higher than that of zigzag channel $180^{\circ}$, about 1.4 times.

The performance of louver-finned flat-tube and fin & tube radiators for computer CPU liquid cooling were experimentally investigated. In this study, 7 samples of radiators with different shape and pass number (1, 2, 10) were tested in a wind tunnel. The experiments were conducted under the different air velocity range from 1 to 4 m/s. The water flow rate through a pass was 1.2 LPM.

In the present study, the flow and heat transfer characteristics of a large plate heat exchanger are investigated numerically. The flow passages are very complicated due to the grooved corrugation patterns of the plate surface so that the detailed mesh and the large amount of the computation time have to be required in the numerical simulation for the conjugate heat transfer analysis. In order to accomplish the efficient and fast analysis of the heat transfer characteristics in the plate heat exchanger, a semimicroscopic method using the porous media model has been investigated numerically. The results showed that the characteristics of the heat transfer and pressure drop, which are respectively presented with Colburn j-factor and Fanning f-factor, are in a good agreement between the detailed mesh and the porous media model. The results of the present study could be applicable to the numerical analysis of entire flow passages in the large plate heat exchanger using porous media treatment.

Fin-tube heat exchangers are widely used in refrigeration systems. To improve the performance of fin-tube heat exchangers, the shape of plain fin was developed in slit fin and louver fin. These pins have higher heat transfer performance as well as larger pressure drop. Recent studies of a delta winglet vortex generators(DWVG) show less heat transfer capacity than louver fin. However, the DWVG have very small pressure drop. This paper compares the performance for the plain fin and DWVG fin in terms of flow characteristics and heat transfer based on CFD analyses. The DWVG generate vortex and delayed flow separation and leads to a reduction of a wake region behind a tube. The results show that the DWVG produce improved heat transfer and reduced pressure drop compared to a plain fin. This result is opposite to the Reynolds analogy.

Parametric studies were performed to compare the effects of fin length, fin height, the ideal number of fins, and heat flux on the average temperature of a heat sink and the average heat transfer coefficient from the heat sink array. Correlation to predict the average Nusselt number was presented.

One of the results shows that the relative error of heat loss between one dimensional method and two dimensional method is within 0.7% in the range of given parameters in this study.

A manipulator is operated for the motion of mechanical hands or arms. When a cup including liquid inside is shifted by a manipulator, it is important to know how a free surface of the liquid moves. In this study, non dimensional parameters have been found that affect the rise of the free surface in a cup moving with constant acceleration. The non-dimensional parameters are the dimensionless time, the ratio of inertia effect to viscous effect (the Reynolds number), aspect ratio of the liquid inside the cup and the acceleration ratio (the Froude number). Through this study, the height of the free surface rise in a cup has been predicted and the detailed velocities in the liquid have been examined. Generally, the maximum rise of the free surface is dependent on the Reynolds number and Froude number strongly, but on the aspect ratio weakly. However, the influence of the aspect ratio on the maximum rise of the free surface is not negligible in the range of 10 < Re < 100.

In this paper, $CO_2$ liquefaction system is treated in focus of liquefaction efficiency & production rate. Presently $CO_2$ is transported in ships or trucks at a pressure of 14-20 bar. Considering this, the liquefaction pressures of 20, 15, 6.5 bar are selected. Compressor work and cooling capacity are calculated and compared. In order to investigate the effect of intercooling, the compressed gas after compressor work is cooled by ambient air or seawater. In case of applying the intercooling to the system, consuming energy can be saved larger than 20%. In the lower liquefaction pressure, the more $CO_2$ can be obtained due to higher density. In the liquefaction pressure of 6.5 bar, its $CO_2$ production is about 35% higher than that of the system with the liquefaction pressure, 20 bar.

Natural gas liquefaction plant and LNG carrier needs large capital investment. Therefore a lot of small or middle scale natural gas fields aren't developed due to poor profitability. If natural gas is made to gas hydrate instead of liquefaction, developing small-scale natural gas field can be profitable because building cost of gas hydrate plant and carrier are economical. Because the process of making gas hydrate consumes much energy, the gas hydrate formation process has to be optimized for energy consumption. In this study, gas hydrate formation process was investigated experimentally. Experimental apparatus consists of reactor, pressure regulator, chiller, and magnetic stirrer. 99.95% methane was used to make gas hydrate. Tests were conducted at variable pressure and temperature condition.

The meridional shape of vane diffuser was set from the impeller shape, distribution of cross sectional area and maximum diffuser diameter. The angle of impeller blade and diffuser vane was designed by using inverse design method. The predicted overall performance by using commercial CFD code(ANSYS CFX-11) shown good agreement with design goals.

Drying process in the cylindrical thin film layer of sludge with the thickness less than a few millimeters has been investigated. Thin film drying is specially designed and used to dry the viscous materials like sewage sludge. The thin film layer of sludge is dried on the metallic cylindrical surface through which thermal energy is supplied to the layer during drying. The wall temperature is assumed to be constant during drying in the present study for the simplification. In order to solve the equations, the mass transfer rate on the drying surface should be determined. The mass flux of evaporated water vapor on the surface is estimated with the formulation given in the literature. The effect of some physical parameters on drying has been examined to figure out the drying characteristics of the sludge layer.

If water-chillers are arranged in series-series counterflow, compressor lift of each chiller will be decreased in comparison with water-chillers in parallel. That means that compressor power of the chillers in series will be lower than that of chillers in parallel. However, the pressure drop of the water flow through the chillers in series will increase, and thus increase the power of water pumps. This disadvantage will be made good by increasing the temperature difference of water flow through evaporator and condenser, but the water flow rates will decrease. This paper explores the optimal parameters in system of series-series counterflow for central chilled water plants such as the leaving chilled water temperature, the leaving condenser water temperature, condenser water flow rate and number of chillers in series.

This test was progressed in the test house of KICT as sectional research of Center for Sustainable Housing.

Secondly, the result of this test exposes that the leakage in the residence is about $20{\sim}25%$. Especially, the outdoor air flowing through the gate occupies 50% of the total leakage.

In order to comply with the global energy crisis and environment problem, it is necessary to research and develop the energy utilization technology with the reduction of the primary energy usage. Although the increasing rate of energy consumption started to attenuate, the entire consumption of energy as well as $CO_2$ emission rate tends to increase steadily along with an economic growth in Korea. The energy demand in Korea increases by annual 3.7% during the period from 2000 to 2006. And it is expected that we should take a charge of the greenhouse gas reduction obligation by the Climatic Change Convention(Kyoto Protocol) during the 2nd pledge period($2013{\sim}2017$). According to the IEA report in 2005, the emission amount of carbon dioxide is the 10th place in the world, and the increasing rate is 4.7% annually. Considering the economic scale of Korea, the degradation of energy usage is inevitable when the greenhouse gas reduction obligation come into effect. Therefore, effective energy usage is a very important issue to minimize baneful influence on industrial and economic activities.

In addition, an array of filter was also inappropriate. As a result, present fume collector need to improvement.

A proprietary device is adopted to break out the membrane of cell in the rigid polyurethane foam. As it is known, the membrane of cell is hardly tearing-off thoroughly in a mechanical way due to both its elastic characteristic and micro sized pores. In this study, a novel experimental approach is introduced to burst out all gases inside the cells of the rigid polyurethane foam by abrasively grinding micro-cells completely into fine powder. The biggest advantage of this approach is to be capable of releasing all gases out from the cell even in the micro pores. As clearly reflected from the repeatability, the accuracy of the result is highly improved and high confidence in the data sets as well. For the measurements of not only gas composition but partial pressure for each gas simultaneously as well, a precision gas mass spectrometer is used in-line directly to the abrasive grinding device. To control the starting point of the polyurethane foam, all samples were prepared on site in the laboratory. Manufactured time is one of the most critical factors in characterization of cell gas composition because it is known that one of gas composition, especially, carbon dioxide, is diffused out dramatically in a short period of time as soon as it is foamed.

In recent decades, exergy analysis has been holding spotlight as a useful tool in the design, assessment, optimization, and improvement of energy system. This paper presents the results of the energy and exergy analysis of a steam turbine cogeneration system for industrial complex using two efficiency concepts of conventional one and exergetic one. In order to obtain the destroyed exergy of each component, mathematical analysis is conducted by using exergy balance and the second law of thermodynamics, according as the parameters are changed, such as the ratio of returned process steam, process steam supplied, temperature and pressure of boiler and power. The computer program developed in this study can determine the efficiencies and exergy destroyed at each component of cogeneration system. As a result of this study, a component having the largest destroyed exergy was boiler. And closed and opened feedwater heater had the lowest one. The affects to the cogeneration system due to the variation of process steam flow and return rate of condensed water is shown that the total electric power efficiency(${\eta}_E$) is decreased as increasing the return rate of condensed water under constant process steam flow. As the boiler pressure is increased for the more production of electricity, the efficiency of cogeneration system was decreased.

Combustion instability is a major issue in design of co-generation gas turbine combustors for efficient operation with low emissions. Combustion instability is induced by the interaction of the unsteady heat release of the combustion process and the change in the acoustic pressure in the combustion chamber. In an effort to develop a technique to predict self-excited combustion instability of co-generation gas turbine combustors, a new stability analysis method based on the transfer matrix method is developed. The method views the combustion system as a one-dimensional acoustic system with a side branch and describes the heat source as the input to the system. This approach makes it possible to use not only the advantages of the transfer matrix method but also well established classic control theories. The approach is applied to a simple co-generation gas turbine combustion system, which shows the validity and effectiveness of the approach.

Flow field in a roller conveyor system, induced from the movement of a cassette in which glasses for flat panel display are loaded, is numerically studied in this paper. Contamination on the glass surface by dust particles produced from mechanical friction between roller and cassette is predicted from the analysis results of flow fields. Results show that a large swirl flow is formed under the moving cassette with constant speed. This swirl flow is confined only under the cassette because two main streams from the backward and the fan filter unit on the top ceiling are sufficiently strong. Therefore, it can be said that possibility of the contamination by the particles originated from the friction is relatively low. It is also revealed that flow direction between glass plates is changed according to the speed of the cassette movement due to the shear force of glass plates.
