A numerical study is carried out for increasing heat removal using indirect cooling system. Computation is performed for nine cases as variation of flow condition in the lower channel. As the result of this study, water is more effective than air at the same pressure loss in spite of the lower inlet velocity. In channel configuration, the vertical channel is more effective than horizontal channel because of the buoyancy effect. Under the condition that heat generation is the same, counter flow effectively decreases the temperature difference among blocks. Parallel flow is more effective than counter flow when average temperature of all blocks is considered. In the case of installing obstacles in the lower channel, it is desirable to install obstacles in the bottom of lower channel. Heat transfer rate increases as the height of obstacles increases.

In this research, a heat pump system with a heat source network is suggested which utilizes solar heat and ground heat as heat source for cooling and heating. This paper describes the summary of the suggested system and the results of the annual energy simulation. The heating and cooling loads, the electric consumption and the COP were calculated by TRNSYS 16 and evaluated in the cases of different local conditions and different system compositions. In the results, the superiority of the suggested system has been quantitatively evaluated comparing with the conventional heat pump system using one heat source. Furthermore, it was more significant in cold climate, in which the heating COP was 146% increased compared the air source heat pump system, than it in subtropical climate, 119% increased.

An air source heat pump using liquid injection technique, which can be applied for very low temperature climate, has been simulated to examine the design options. Comparison between the simulation and experiment has been carried out to validate the simulation method. Effects of various design parameters such as liquid injection rate and injection pressure are Investigated to optimize the performance of the heat pump. Finally, optimal liquid infection rate and injection pressure to maintain sufficient heating capacity and moderate discharge refrigerant temperature are suggested when the heat pump was operated at very low outdoor temperature.

In the present paper, a single stage fresh water generator was modified and extended to 2 effect desalination system. The inlet temperatures of hot water and feed water were selected as experiment parameters to get operating conditions and fresh water generating rates. The impacts of these parameters on operating conditions and fresh water generating rates were described in detail.

In this study, numerical modeling was performed to analyze air flow including radiation heat transfer inside a small chamber. Characteristics of heat transfer between source plate and target through glass are investigated for various surface temperature of heat source plate with buoyancy effect due to gravity force. Conduction heat transfer through the glass is considered and heat source plate is assumed to be a black body. Target surface temperature is largely affected by the radiation heat transfer. It can also be seen that as the source temperature increases target surface is dominated by radiation rather than convective heat transfer by air.

An air source heat pump system producing the ice and water storage energy for cooling and heating of building has been proposed. Cycle design and simulation considering energy balance between heating and cooling capacity has been carried out. The roles of the capacity controlled compressor, refrigerant heating device and air preheating are investigated in detail. System control logic for meeting the predetermined heating capacity when the system is operated at cold climate condition is suggested. Some anticipated problems of the proposed system are also described.

In recent years, heat source systems which have a principal effect on the performance of buildings are difficult to design optimally as a great number of design factors and constraints in large and complicated buildings need to be considered. On the other hand, it is necessary to design an optimum system combination and operation planning for energy efficiency considering Life Cycle Cost (LCC). This study suggests a multi-level and multi-objective optimization method to minimize both LCC and investment cost using a genetic algorithm targeting an office building which requires a large cooling load. The optimum method uses a two stage process to derive the system combination and the operation schedule by utilizing the input data of cooling and heating load profile and system performance characteristics calculated by dynamic energy simulation. The results were assessed by Pareto analysis and a number of Pareto optimal solutions were determined. Moreover, it was confirmed that the derived operation schedule was useful for operating the heat source systems efficiently against the building energy requirements. Consequently, the proposed optimization method is determined by a valid way if the design process is difficult to optimize.

기존의 섬유부자재 생산은 피도물의 접점(고리자국)으로 핀홀(pine-hole)에 녹의 발생하여 제품고급화가 어렵고 작업 시 분진 발생 및 유기물질 배출로 열악한 실정이다. 국내 생산방식은 대부분 위와 같은 방식으로 생산하고 있으나 이는 불량률이 높고 열효율이 떨어지는 단점이 있다. 기존의 저가제품은 중국 및 후발국가의 추격으로 세계시장에서 경쟁력을 잃어가고 있으며 선진국의 경우 섬유부자재의 고급화를 위한 무접점 대형코팅 설비 생산 및 연구개발을 하고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 무접점 코팅설비의 개발로 피도물에 접점이 없어 녹발생의 원인인 핀홀이 근본적으로 발생하지 않으며, 일괄생산체제를 도입하여 기존의 작업방법 대비 생산성이 향상되고 불량률 및 에너지사용이 감소되며, 또한 원천적으로 분진 및 유기용제 등의 유해물질 배출이 없는 기술을 확보하고자 한다. 개발된 장비의 평가 및 실제 생산현장에서 요구되는 성능을 반영하기 위해 기존 생산설비를 조사하였고, 기존 작업환경에 따른 불량률 및 생산성을 조사하였다. 새로 개발되는 무접점 코팅설비는 기존의 문제점이 보완되며, 에너지 효율 향상 및 작업환경 개선된 One-stop 공정으로 설계하였으며 그 특징은 아래와 같다. 도료 코팅을 위한 파우더 공급 및 제거 공정의 단일화로 생산성을 향상 시키면서 기존보다 분진발생이 거의 없는 도입부 개발 및 밀폐형 코팅부 도입을 통하여 불필요한 열원 낭비를 최소화 시킬 예정이다. 향후 개발된 각 단위 유닛의 최적화를 통한 생산성 향상 및 One-stop 공정에 따른 열효율 개선 및 에너지 사용 절감 효과를 알아보고 피드백하여 최종 개발품에 적용할 예정이다.

Optimization procedures of performance analysis for ORC(Organic Rankine Cycle) system are established to the characteristics of low temperature heat sources such as open-type and closed-type. Effective heat recovery and heat extraction related to maximum power of the cycle as well as heat quality and thermal efficiency must be considered in the case of the open-type low temperature heat source. On the other hand, in the case of the closed-type low temperature heat source, only thermal efficiency is important due to constant heat input. In this study, thermal efficiency and exergy efficiency representing a level of close to Carnot cycle are studied, as useful index for the optimization of the ORC system. To validate the results of cycle analysis, those are compared with appropriate experimental data of ORC system as a thermal efficiency point of view.
