The thermoelectric effect is the direct conversion of temperature differences to electric voltage and vice versa. A thermoelectric device creates a voltage when there is a different temperature on each side. Conversely when a voltage is applied to it, it creates a temperature difference. This effect is used in this paper to cool objects or to heat them. A cooling/warming system with thermoelectric device is introduced and controlled with PC and LabVIEW.

최고급 품질의 홍삼제조를 위한 공정을 개발하고자 건조기를 제작하였다. 건조기는 온도, 습도의 계측이 가능하고 이를 컴퓨터와 연결하여 사용자가 원하는 온도, 습도로의 제어가 가능하도록 설계하열다. 건조기의 작업용량은 1회에 원료수삼 30지가 처리되도록 설계되었다. 이를 위한 건조챔버의 크기는 6년근 1등급 수삼의 크기를 고려하여 700$\times$700$\times$1500mm로 결정하였고 건조과정중의 수삼의 상태변화를 알기 위하여 건조챔버 전면에 유리를 설치하여 육안 관찰 및 영상처리장치에 의한 모니터링이 가능하도록 하였다. 수삼의 균일한 건조를 도모하기 위하여 대나무 채반을 속도조절이 가능한 모터와 체인을 이용하여 챔버 내에 서 0~10rpm의 속도로 회전되도록 설계하였다. 그리고 건조시 챔버 내의 공기상태 계측 및 제어용 프로그램을 개발하였다. 제작된 홍삼제조용 건조기의 성능 평가결과 설정된 온도와 습도를 정밀하게 계측제어 할수 있었으며, 원하는 건조수준을 유지는데 성공했다. 건조기 내부에서의 온도 분포와 풍속분포를 SAS통계 package GLM을 이용하여 유의수준 5%의 범위에서 Student T~test를 한결과, 계측지점간의 유의 차가 없어 온도와 풍속의 분포가 균일한 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this research is the study of characteristics of heat transfer in a heat pipe controlled by solenoid valve. A solenoid valve located to the adiabatic section between evaporator and condenser of heat pipe was used to control the valve action for effective energy transfer of the industrial exchanger machine. By the results presented in this study temperature difference between evaporator and condenser increases with increasing the temperature frequency and with decreasing the temperature amplitude. When inclination angle and flow rate of cooling water increases, the temperature amplitude is reached to the steady state rapidly with increasing the temperature frequncy.

Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) has recently received attention in developing implantable surgical equipments and it is expected to lead the future medical device market by adequately imitating surgeons' flexible and delicate hand movement. However, SMA actuators have not been used widely because of their nonlinear behavior called hysteresis, which makes their control difficult. Hence, we propose a parameter, $t_1$, which is necessary for temperature control, by analyzing the open-loop step response between current and temperature and by comparing it with the values of linear differential equations. $t_1$ is a pole of the transfer function in the invariant linear model in which the input and output are current and temperature, respectively; hence, $t_1$ is found to be related to the state variable used for temperature control. When considering the parameter under heat treatment conditions, $T_{max}$ was found to assume the lowest value, and $t_1$ was irrelevant to the heat treatment.

본 논문에서는 온도 센서로부터 얻어지는 데이터를 전송하고 실시간으로 처리하기 위하여 RF방식을 이용한 단 방향 데이터 전송 시스템을 설계하고 그 특성을 측정하였다. 설계된 무선 전송기능의 온도 측정 시스템은 온도센서 및 제어부, 데이터 전송용 RF module로 구성되었다. 온도 측정을 위한 센서는 AD590 전류 구동 형 전압출력 센서이며 제어부는 PIC one-chip microprocessor를 사용하였다. 또한 데이터의 무선 전송을 위해 433MHz 주파수 대역의 반 이중 RF Module을 사용하여 system을 구현하였다. 실험은 10M 이내의 실내 공간 내에서 수행되었고, 임의의 온도측정 구간에 따른 온도 변화 환경에서 3가지 경우의 (3M,5M,10M) 거리 변화를 두고 데이터를 측정 및 비교 분석하였다. 실험결과 10M 이내의 거리에서는 온도센서로부터 얻어진 데이터를 실시간으로 송수신하여 결과를 처리할 수 있었으며 이를 이용한 다중 Sensor 시스템 구현이 가능한 결과를 얻었다.

In the paper, velocity controller of switching module and temperature controller for the high-voltage static var compensator are proposed. Because of the continuous increase in demand for electric power, transmission and distribution facilities of power plant are required. There is a bottleneck problem of transportation routes according to new construction and expansion of power transmission facilities. Therefore there are researches to maximize the utilization of existing facilities and to increase transmission capacity without new construction. The previous static var compensator detects voltage of input circuit of power, switches the SCR directly and generates switching noise. The proposed method increases switching velocity and decreases noise using switching control based on the voltage between both sides of SCR. Also the proposed method enhance the stability using realtime temperature control for heating of the system from increase of switching velocity. We experiment the velocity and temperature control of the proposed high-voltage static var compensator in the real environment and verify the performance of the proposed system by applying in the real field.

New thermal crack control system for mass concrete was developed to increase quality and to save construction period and cost. The principle of this system is that the curing water having proper temperature is supplied automatically to the surface of mass concrete member to keep the temperature difference between center and surface of concrete less than generally recommended temperature difference ($20^{\circ}C$). Mock-up test was conducted to investigate the validity of newly developed curing system. As a result, no crack was founded in the specimen using automated curing system developed in this study, while many cracks occurred in another specimen without automated curing system. It was also confirmed that the strength and the durability of the concrete cured by automated curing system were improved.

Two field cooling tests were conducted to evaluate the cooling characteristic of paddy with a prototype grain cooler. The first test was carried out during summer season in a steel bin with 180.3ton of paddy at Sunchon. And the second test was carried out during harvesting season in a steel bin with 272.2ton of paddy at Ulsan. At the first test, initial paddy temperature of 23.6$^{\circ}C$ was dropped to 14$^{\circ}C$, and initial moisture content of 19.9% was dropped to 19.3% after 52.5 hours of cooling. At the second test, initial paddy temperature of 16.1$^{\circ}C$ dropped to 5.5$^{\circ}C$ after 78.0 hours of cooling. And, at the first test, the average air flow rates of chilled air leaving the grain cooler and penetrating the grain layer were 77.5 ㎥/min and 42.5 ㎥/min, respectively. To prevent leakage of chilled air from plenum chamber of steel bin, which was about 45% of the average air flow rates of chilled air leaving the grain cooler, a proper method was required. The average total power consumption at the first test during summer was 22.1 ㎾ with control of fan damper. At the second test, it was 17.4 ㎾ due to controlling the capacity of compressor with unloading solenoid valve and changing the flow rates of hot refrigerant gas flowing into evaporator and reheater from compressor, resulting in 27% reduction of energy consumption.

본 연구에서는 실제 조건과 유사하게 모사된 사무실 공간을 대상으로 냉방시 급기 위치에 따른 기온, 기류속도, 복사온도를 측정하여 열환경을 평가하였다. 사무실 공간은 실제의 조건과 유사하게 인체, 조명, 사무기기의 부하를 전기히터로 모사했으며, 외기부하는 벽체에 설치된 열교환기를 통과하는 부동액의 온도를 제어함으로써 모사하였다. 실험 결과 냉방 조건에서는 바닥급기 방식의 경우 평균온도가 천장급기에 비해 낮아 에너지 절약 측면에서 유리함을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 천장급기에 비해 수직온도차가 크고 급기구 근처에서는 수직온도차에 의한 불쾌감과 빠른 기류속도에 의한 드래프트의 위험이 있는 것으로 나타났다.
