본 연구에서는 일반 가정에서 많이 쓰이고 있는 15,000 Kcal/hr용량의 유류 보일러에 대한 제반 실험을 통하여 보일러 운전자료를 제공함은 물론 방열코일의 열교환 실험을 통하여 시중에 유통되고 있는 방열코일의 방열량 비교와 공기와 냉각수와의 열관류율을 비교함으로서 보일러 시공에 필요한 기초 자료를 얻었다. 연소에 필요한 급기량은 매연농도가 문제시 되지 않는 Smoke Scale No.가 1 이하인 공기비 1.45 이상으로 운전이 되어야 하며 송수온도는 t2=-0.0781XGw+85($^{\circ}C$)의 실험식으로 표시할 수 있다. 공기중에서 코일의 방열량은 X-L관이 외경의 차이로 인해 동관보다 높게 나타났다.

As a radiant heating panel gets more popularity, the need to study on evaluation method of thermal output of the panel also becomes increasing. Generally, the chamber using method is applied to evaluate the thermal output through an experiment. However, the chamber using method cannot be used due to the limitations on space and cost. EN1264 addresses the test equipment to evaluate the thermal output by using simpler experimental setup, and introduces application method in detail. However, there is not enough description of control methods to meet the experiment condition, and it is difficult to meet this when practical experiment. Therefore, this paper analysed the control error factors of when the thermal output experiment is performed. When EN1264 method is applied to evaluate the thermal output of the radiant floor heating panel, the error factor which is caused by the characteristic of test equipment cannot be removed by the control methods of chamber using method. In addition, the error factor can be occurred at the element which is located out of the control system. These possible error factors are defined as the characteristic error factors.

In this study we investigated the effects of symmetrically arranged heat sources on the heat release performances of extruded-type heat sinks through experiments and thermal fluid simulations. Also, based on the results we suggested a high-efficiency and cost-effective heat sink for a solar inverter cooling system. In this parametric study, the temperatures between heaters on the base plate and the heat release rates were investigated with respect to the arrangements of heat sources and amounts of heat input. Based on the results we believe that the use of both sides of the heat sink is the preferred method for releasing the heat from the heat source to the ambient environment rather than the use of a single side of the heat sink. Also from the results, it is believed that the symmetric arrangement of the heat sources is recommended to achieve a higher rate of heat transfer. From the results of the thermal fluid simulation, it was possible to confirm the qualitative agreement with the experimental results. Finally, quantitative comparison with respect to mass flow rates, heat inputs, and arrangements of the heat source was also performed.

In this study, to maximize the heat release from the heat generating environment, such as a high-capacity inverter, the heat release performance of the extruded-type heat sinks with the variation of the base thickness were investigated using the experimental and numerical methods. The base thickness was varied from 5 to 14 mm. The heat release was characterized by the amount of heat released through the heat sink, the surface temperature of heat sink base between the heat sources, and temperature of heat sources. The surface temperatures between heat sources and the amounts of heat release were improved more as the base thickness was decreased. In contrast, the temperatures of the heat sources decreased with increasing base thickness. Based on the case study of these heat sinks, it is believed that a heat sink with a 9.5mm-thick base was optimized for the heat release.

The thermal performance of storage brick, containing microencapsulated PCM(phase change material), was investigated for utilization as a floor heating system. Sodium acetate trihydrate($CH_3COONa{\cdot}3H_2O$) was selected for the PCM and was encapsulated. The thermal storage brick was manufactured with mixing cement mortar having 10%, 20% PCM contents, respectively. Four different flow rates and three different cooling temperatures was used in this work for analyzing the heat charging and discharging characteristics of the thermal storage brick. The result showed that cycle time was shortened as the PCM content was increased and as the mass flow rate was increased. The same effect was obtained when the cooling temperature was decreased. For each thermal storage brick the overall heat transfer coefficient(U-value) was constant for a 0% brick, but was increased with time for the bricks containing microencapsulated PCM.

Heat exchangers have been used for the automotive, HVAC systems, and other various industrial facilities, so the market is very wide. In general, high-efficiency heat exchangers with louver fins are used in the dust-free environment while heat exchangers with wavy fins are used for dusty environment such as construction site, etc. In this study, numerical analysis has been performed for typical heat exchangers, used as oil coolers or fuel coolers, with dual cell model that can handle different grids for the air-side and oil-side of heat exchangers. First wind tunnel tests were conducted to obtain one-dimensional thermal performance data of heat exchangers. Then, heat release rates with varying air flows were numerically predicted using the three-dimensional dual-cell model. The model can greatly enhance the accuracy of thermal design since it includes the effects of nonuniformity of air flows across heat exchangers.

본 논문에서는 300kW급 모듈형 NPC 인버터의 방열 설계를 위해 전력반도체 스위치 소자의 손실을 분석하여 열적 특성을 고려한 인버터 모듈을 설계하고 제작을 하였다. 전력반도체 스위치의 손실은 스위칭 손실과 도통손실로 구분되며, 대부분 열손실로 나타나기 때문에 발열량을 토대로 방열판의 구조 및 크기를 결정하였다. 인버터 높은 출력비를 얻기 위해서는 열 손실을 고려한 방열판 설계는 반드시 필요한 과정으로 설계 과정의 타당성을 검증하기 위해 PLECS를 통한 시뮬레이션과 실험결과를 비교하였다.

In this study, we evaluated the heat release performance of two extruded-type and two swaged-type heat sinks used in an inverter for solar power generation. The number of fins and heat transfer areas of the two swaged-type heat sinks, namely S-62 and S-98, are 62 and 98 and $2.8m^2$ and $5.3m^2$, respectively. Those for the two extruded-type heat sinks, namely, E-38 and E-47, are 38 and 47 and $1.8m^2$ and $1.9m^2$, respectively. The heat release fractions of S-62 and S-98 were measured as 82.7 % and 86.3 %, respectively. Those of E-38 and E47 were measured to be 79.6 % and 81.6 %, respectively. In this experiment, despite the mass flow rates of air entering the heat sinks being almost the same, the heat release fractions increased with heat transfer area. Furthermore, despite S-62's heat transfer area being 47.4 % higher than that of E-47, its heat release fraction was higher by only 1.3 %. We believe that this indicates the better heat transfer property of the extruded-type heat sink. S-98's heat release is only 4.4 % higher than that of S-62, but its heat transfer area is 89.3 % higher; this suggests that its heat transfer area need to be optimized.

To ensure proper functioning of electrical and mechanical systems, cooling devices are of great importance. A heat sink is the most common cooling device used in many industries such as the semiconductor, electronic instrument, LED lighting, and automotive industries. To design an optimal heat sink, the required surface area for heat radiation should be calculated based on an accurate expectation of the heat flow rate in the target environment. In this study, the convective heat flow characteristics were numerically investigated for a vertically installed typical heat sink and a horizontally installed one in free convection using ANSYS CFX. Comparative experiments were carried out to reveal the quantitative effect of the installation direction on the cooling performance. Moreover, the result was analyzed using the dimensionless correlation with the Nusselt number and Rayleigh number and compared with well-known theories. Finally, it was observed that the cooling performance of the vertically installed heat sink is approximately 10~15% better than that of the one in natural convection.
