This research discusses the correlation about fire mechanism based on real fire cases. Electric power condenser failure mechanism is classified into 7 steps and fire mechanism is classified into 12 steps. In the 5th step, the procedure of operating a protection channel of a protection relay was identical in the case of the failure and fire. As the fire occurrence mechanism was applied from the 6th step, internal pressure was increased because of gas generation produced by internal combustion phenomenon and arc. This caused explosion in 10st step of fire occurrence mechanism. In 11th step, the flame such as arc gushed out with insulating oil which caused fire and leaded to second accident. This kind of step correlation could play an important part to examine fire.

For recycling of tantalum from obsolete condenser, physical separations and chlorination of tantalum scraps with $Cl_2$ and $CCl_4$ were investigated. The recovery ratio of tantalum from obsolete condenser was 98% by using a multidisciplinary process of crushing by stamp mill, wet gravity separation by the shaking table, and air classification. In the chlorination reaction of non-oxidized Ta anode with $Cl_2$, the highest weight loss ratio is at least 60%, while in the chlorination reaction of Ta anode with $CCl_4$, the reaction rate for the oxidized Ta anode is faster than that of the non-oxidized Ta anode.

In order to investigate the cooling capacity of an air-conditioner applying a variable capacity compressor and the temperature characteristics on a condenser and an evaporator, the experiment on the operation characteristics of the air-conditioner was performed along a compressor operation ratio and an indoor/outdoor temperatures, under a cooling operation mode. The system characteristics were measured by the psychrometric calorimeter. The cooling capacity increased with decreasing the outdoor temperature and increasing the indoor temperature. Also, it increased with increasing the compressor operation ratio. The temperature of the condenser was more sensitive for the variation of the outdoor temperature and the temperature of the evaporator was more sensitive for the variation of the indoor temperature. The operation characteristics of the cycle used in this present were also analyzed by a pressure-enthalpy chart.

Condenser tube which is used for a cooling system of automobiles is mainly manufactured by conform extrusion. However, direct extrusion using porthole die in comparison with conform extrusion has many advantages such as improvement of productivity, reduction of production cost etc. In general, the porthole die extrusion process is useful for manufacturing long tubes with hollow sections and consists of three stages(dividing, welding and forming stages). Especially, Porthole die for producing condenser tube is very complex. Thus, in order to obtain the detailed mechanics, to assist in the design of proper die shapes and sizes, and to improve the quality of products, porthole die extrusion should be analyzed in as non-steady state as possible. This paper describes FE analysis of non-steady state porthole die extrusion for producing condenser tube with multi-hole through 3D simulation in the non-steady state during the entire process to evaluate detailed metal flow, temperature distribution, welding pressure and extrusion load. Also to validate FE simulation of porthole die extrusion, a comparison of simulation and experiment results was presented in this paper.

This paper presents the numerical model development of a microchannel heat exchanger in mobile air-conditioning and heat pump applications. The model has been developed based on the effectiveness-NTU method using a segment-by-segment modeling approach. State-of-art correlations are used for refrigerant- and air-side heat transfer coefficients and pressure drops. The calculated heat condenser capacities are in good agreement with experimental data, with an average difference of 1.86%. The current model can be used for microchannel condenser simulations under various operating conditions. It is anticipated to improve productivity in designing and optimizing microchannel heat exchangers with folded louver fin geometry.

In this study, it is important that we have an understanding of the metal flow for manufacturing condenser tube in porthole die extrusion, because this need to provide for household appliances market that is expected to grow into the major market of the cooling system hereafter. Condenser tube is mainly manufactured by conform exclusion. However, this method was not satisfied a series of the needs for manufacturing condenser tube as compared with porthole die extrusion. The deforming skill recently is required high-productivity, high-accuracy and reducing lead-time, thus it is essential to substitute conform exclusion by porthole die exclusion. Porthole die extrusion has many advantages such as improvement of productivity, reduction of production cost etc. In general, the porthole die extrusion process consists of three stages(dividing, welding and forming stages). In order to obtain the detailed mechanics, to assist in the design of proper die shapes and sizes, and to improve the quality of products, porthole die extrusion should be analyzed in as non-steady state as possible during the entire process to evaluate detailed metal flow, temperature distribution, welding pressure and extrusion lead, and therm stress analysis was practiced to obtain effective stress and elastic deformation value. A analytical results provide useful information the optimal design of the porthole die for condenser tube.

The present study was conducted to elucidate the characteristics of temperature at the inlet and outlet pipes of a refrigerator drain condenser and suggest the method to predict the temperature of the refrigerant at the inlet and outlet pipes of the drain condenser. For this purpose, a built in style refrigerator was installed in a constant temperature chamber to measure temperatures at the inlet and outlet pipes of the drain condenser. From the results of the present analysis, it could be seen that the measured temperatures changed from $37^{\circ}C$ to $46^{\circ}C$ and the actual refrigerant temperatures were higher than the measured temperatures with the difference magnitude of $8^{\circ}C$ to $22^{\circ}C$. The present study suggested that the temperatures of the refrigerator could be calculated with the measured temperatures by introducing curve fitting of the measured temperature. The predicted refrigerant temperatures by the present study had the accuracy within 6% error of the actual refrigerant temperatures.

This paper, we analyzed that the measured data of the radiated power spectrum of electromagnetic waves of the normal spark ignition system and the spark ignition system with feed through type ceramic condenser. The results show that the strength of power spectrum radiated from the system with feed through type ceramic condenser is weaker than the normal system, and the density of power spectrum radiated from the system with feed through type ceramic condenser is smaller than the normal system. From these results, the feed through type ceramic condenser can reduce the electromagnetic waves radiating from the spark ignition system which is the spurious emission, and it can be concluded that the ignition coil of the spark ignition system generating high voltage pulse is equivalent to the radio frequency oscillator which is oscillating high frequency from a electronic point of view.

Recently, automobile air conditioning systems have applied an alternative refrigerant that can replace the high GWP refrigerant R134a due to the global warming problem. This study simulated the performance of an automobile climate control system with an internal heat exchanger and TXV. Refrigerant R1234yf was applied as the working fluid. Amesim, a commercial software program, was used to model the main components of the compressor, condenser, TXV, evaporator, and internal heat exchanger. As the outside temperature increased from 30℃ to 40℃, the cooling capacity of the system decreased by 3.1%, and the power consumption of the compressor increased by 17.1%. In addition, The performance characteristics of the refrigeration cycle were simulated by increasing the fin pitch of the condenser from 0.8 mm to 1.4 mm. When the fin pitch was larger than 1.0 mm, the condenser capacity decreased, and the system COP was lowered by 5.9%. When the fin pitch of the condenser was 0.8 mm, which was smaller than 1.0 mm, there was no significant change in the system performance. Hence, the optimal performance was observed at a fin pitch of 1.0 mm.
