This paper presents a heating source of carbon nanofibers for the efficiency and the drying performance of laundry dryer, and focuses on the applicability-evaluation of its source. To design the proposed heating module, experiments were conducted in terms of surface temperature and surface temperature distribution characteristics of carbon nanofiber lamps. The surface temperature of the lamps increased linearly with increment of a current to flow a lamp and revealing the increasing pattern as the length of the ramps is shorter. The proposed heating source was evaluated based on drying efficiency, moisture evaporation rate at laundry, and internal temperature of a drum during drying process. The drying efficiency satisfied a 45% which is specified in KS C 9319. The moisture evaporation rate and the internal temperature of the drum were respectively 98.88% and $61.1^{\circ}C$, which are similar to that of S's company dryer. From the evaluation and actual drying test results, the proposed carbon nanofiber lamp heating module is considered to be applicable as a heat source for laundry dryer in terms of drying efficiency and drying performance. it is possible to obtain a heat source at a high temperature, an excellent calorific value, an improvement in drying performance, and an effect of sterilizing laundry due to the emission of far-infrared rays. In addition to the applicability, the difference of the drying efficiency between the dryers was analyzed in detail based on the power consumption of the heat sources.

This study analyzes the explosion hazard of dry cleaning solvent recovery machine in laundry shop in two aspects, i.e. combustible and ignition source, and determines the explosive conditions of this machine by conducting mockup explosion tests repeatedly, varying conditions and using real dry cleaning solvent recovery machines. As to combustibles, two kinds of combustibles used widely in Korea have been selected and tested. The flash points, LEL's, and saturation vapor pressures of those combustibles have been measured, and their explosion specific curves have been drawn, based on the results of the measurements, so that the explosion risks of those materials may be determined, depending on the temperatures. Potential voltages generated from materials for laundry and foreign materials of metals have been assumed to be the ignition sources in this application, and their potential voltages have been measured, depending on temperature, humidity, and antistatic agent, by using real materials for laundry and a potential voltage measuring device. Tests have been conducted, varying the quantities, concentrations, and operating temperatures of materials for laundry. As a result, explosions have not been generated with potential voltages of materials for laundry, but explosions have been observed when applying artificial spark energy of 2.0 mJ.

우리가 일상생활에서 사용하는 가전제품 중에서 소음 진동이 발생하여 생활에 영향을 미치는 제품으로 세탁기를 들 수 있다. 세탁기의 종류는 회전하는 축의 방향에 의해 수직축(vertical axis)과 수평축 (horizontal axis) 방식으로 나누며 국내, 일본및 동남아시아 등에서 사용하는 펄세이터식(pulsator type) 세탁기와 미국을 비롯한 미주에서 사용하는 애지테이터식(agitator type)세탁기는 전자에 속하고 유럽에서 사용하는 드럼식(drum type) 세탁기는 후자에 속한다. 드럼 세탁기의 장점은 물을 적게 사용하고, 삶는 세탁이 가능하며, 건조 기능을 갖고 있으므로 별도의 건조기가 필요없어서 공간을 절약하는 것이다. 또 빨래가 펄세이터나 애지테이터 등의 교반체와 직접 접촉하지 않기 때문에 빨래의 마모가 적다. 드럼식 세탁기의 단점으로는 가격이 펄세이터식이나 애지테이터식에 비해서 비싸고, 무게가 무거우며, 탈수시에 소음과 진동이 심하다. 특히 탈수시 발생하는 소음과 진동은 이방식의 세탁기의 가장 큰 약점이다. 지금까지는 드럼식 세탁기의 진동 소음을 감소시키려는 적극적인 노력이 없었는데, 볼밸런스를 적용한 드럽 세탁기를 개발하여 소음과 진동을 획기적으로 감소시켰다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the structural properties of 100% wool fabrics knitted with various stitch types and to evaluate dimensional stability from shrinkage in wet cleaning and drying. Materials were weft-knitted from twenty-four different stitches with 7 gauge using a computerized flatbed knitting machine. Weight, thickness, density, and length were measured. A domestic washing machine and a tumble dryer were used for the shrinkage test. The results are as follows: Knitted fabrics were divided into 3 groups based on weight per unit area. Porous knits show light weight whilst milano, pintuck, rib stitches belong to the heaviest group. A positive correlation between weight and thickness was found and the same result was obtained for wale density and weight. Dimensional shrinkage of knitted fabrics was increased during repetitive wet cleaning and drying regardless of knit stitches. Especially, fabrics knitted with float, tuck, cable, and links & links stitches samples were contracted more than 15% in the first treatment whereas 2x1 rib stitch showed 1% shrinkage rate. Fisherman and milano stitches contracted in both course and wale direction with similar shrinkage rates. However, porous knits with float and tuck stitches shrank in course direction by 20% as well as cable samples contracted from 5% to 20% after repeated washing and drying. On the other hand, 30% and 15% contraction of wale direction occurred in orderly float and links & links stitches, respectively. Machine dried knits have a higher shrinkage rate than air-dried knits, but the drying method did not affect to the direction of contraction. In conclusion, variations of knit, tuck, and float stitches affect knit construction and dimensional stability from shrinkage in wet cleaning and drying of wool knitted fabrics.

Recently, the chance of dew condensation in apartment buildings is increasing because of several reasons. For example, ventilation rate has been decreased because of high-insulations and airtightness for saving energy. Besides, the humidity has been made by drying washes, cooking and bathing inside of apartment buildings. However, there is lack of resonable design criteria for preventing condensation in real life and real surroundings. Therefore, this study is aimed at making a resonable design criteria of preventing condensation by measuring the indoor temperature and humidity in real life. In addition to this, it is aimed at making a resonable outdoor condition and classifying regions by using weather data. The following are the results. The interior criterion for condensation was set up $25^{\circ}C$ and a relative humidity of 55%. The outdoor criterion for condensation was set up $20^{\circ}C$, $-15^{\circ}C$, and $10^{\circ}C$ respectively for the hard frost, middle, and southern areas.
