Korea which has change of clear season is using unique heater by the name of On-dol being invented since ancient times. Floor-heating device has no radiator, and generates no noise and dust. It can obtain satisfied heating sense than other heating system in low room temperature. And also it is a pleasant system that equals bottom and top temperature in a room. The purpose of this study is to develop the Floor-heating device using pulsating heat pipe. It propose floor-heating device using pulsating heat pipe of the dry process which alternative polyethylene pipe(low XL pipe) that is used widely to existent floor heating system and produce pilot Experiment and analyzed operation condition and performance of most suitable. In this study, main purpose is to develop floor-heating system using pulsating heat pipe by finding an optimum working condition according to changing ratio and evaluating a performance.

As a basic study to develop heating panel, the purpose of this study was to know possibility as a floor heating panel. We investigated working conditions and performance of pulsating heat pipe. Tests were conducted under the next conditions; Working fluid were R-22 and R-134a, charging ratio 40% and 50%, temperature of inlet water $60^{\circ}C$ and $70^{\circ}C$, flow rates $1{\sim}3kg/min$. The experimental results indicate that the pulsating heat pipe charged 50% showed better performance than 40%, R-22 is more suited to the working fluid than R-134a, and it has a possibility which can be applied to floor heating panel using a pulsating heat pipe.

When metallic alloys are reacted to hydrogen, heat transfer of storage tank effects hydrogen storage rate and capacity. If pulsating heat pipe are used to improve heat transfer efficiency, production of hydrogen storage tank can be more simple and economical. Experiment of heat pipe was conducted by varying working fluids and heat flux. According to supply heat flux, test indicate that R-22 and R-l42b were found lower temperature difference between evaporator and condenser than R-134a and Ethanol. Thermal resistances of R-22 and R-142b were also lower than others. Using R-142b as a working fluid, heat pipe type hydrogen storage tank is tested in absorption and desorption processes.

In this paper, heat transfer and pressure oscillation characteristics on oscillating capillary tube heat pipe(OCHP) according to input heat flux, mixture ratio of working fluid and inclination angle were investigated and were compared single working fluid(R-142b) with binary mixture working fluid(R-142b-Ethano1). OCHP was made to serpentine structure of loop type with 10 turns by drilling the channels of length 220mm, width 1.5mm, and depth 1.5mm on the surface of brass plate. In this study, R-l42b and R-l42b-Ethanol were used as working fluids, the charging ratio of working fluids was 40(vol.%), the input heat flux to evaporating section was changed from 0.3W/㎠ to 1.8W/㎠, and mixture ratio of working fluid was R(100%), R(95%)-E(5%), R(90%)-E(10%), and R(85%)-E(15%). From the experimental results, it was found that the effective thermal conductivity of single working fluid was better than that of binary mixture working fluid. But, in case of binary mixture working fluid, critical heat flux was higher than that of single working fluid. And, the higher the mixture ratios of working fluid, the lower heat transfer performance. In case of pressure oscillation, as the inclination angle was lower, pressure wave was more irregular. These phenomena were more serious when the working fluid was binary mixture. Besides, when mixture ratio was higher, saturated pressure was increased, more irregular wave was observed and the mean amplitude was increased. For the same input heat flux, inclination angle and charging ratio, when pressure oscillation has sinusoidal wave, mean amplitude was small, and saturated pressure was low value, the heat transfer was excellent.

In process of reinforced concrete (RC) box structure, the heat of hydration may cause serious thermal cracking. This paper reports results of hydration heat control in mass concrete using the oscillating heat pipe. There were three RC box molds ($1.2m{\times}1.8m{\times}2.4m$) which were different from each other. One was not equipped with pulsating heat pipe. The others were equipped with pulsating heat pipe. All of them were cooled with natural air convection. The pulsating heat pipe was composed of 10 turns of serpentine type copper pipe whose outer and inner diameters were 4 and 2.8 mm respectively. The working fluid was R-22 and charging ratio was 40% by volume. The temperature of the concrete core was approximately $55^{\circ}C$ in the winter without pulsating heat pipe. For a concrete with pulsating heat pipe, however, the temperature difference with the outdoor one reduced up to $12^{\circ}C$. The index figure of crack was varied from 0.75 to 1.38.
