An important component of a cooling tower is an axial fan, and there happens distortion in its shape which brings significant loss of efficiency. In this paper, a surface profile measuring system for large size axial fan of cooling towers is developed. A laser sensor is used as a measuring device and aluminum profiles and stepping motors are engaged into the system as frame structure and driving devices respectively. The measuring data are compared to the design data to compute the distortion of the axial fans. Two types of errors, axial and twist errors, are used to represent the precision of axial fan distortion. Genetic algorithm is used to solve the optimization problem during computing the precision. Results are displayed three dimensionally in a solid-modeler as well as 2-D drawings to help users find it with ease.

The cryogenic system for 6.6 kV/200 A inductive superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) was developed at Yonsei university in 2003. The sub-cooled nitrogen cryogenic system could be applied to not only SFCL but also many other applied high-Tc superconducting (HTS) devices like superconducting motor, superconducting generator and superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES). Generally, the cooling capacity of GM-cryocooler depends on the load temperature. Therefore it is necessary to perform the cooling capacity test at no load condition to calculate the exact cooling power and heat load of cryogenic system. In this research, the cooling capacity test of GM-cryocooler was executed and the heat load of developed cryogenic system was calculated. The long run operation test results of sub-cooled nitrogen cryogenic system were successful in pressure and temperature condition. Moreover, the design and fabrication method of cryogenic system were introduced and the test results were described.

본 논문은 압전소자의 주기적인 발진운동을 탄성 변환하여 유체유동을 유발하는 압전소자 팬의 수치해석 모델에 대한 연구이다. LED 모듈 등의 고밀도 열이 발생하는 소형 전자장치의 냉각에 적용이 가능한 압전소자 냉각팬의 성능 향상을 위해 CFD 도구를 이용하였다. 본 논문의 결과는 압전소자의 길이 5cm와 방열판의 길이 3cm라는 비율이 효과적이었다. 이는 기하학적으로 비슷한 형태를 가지고 다른치수를 가지는 모델에서 기초적인 설계를 하는데 도움이 될 것이다.

The Stirling refrigerators have been widely used for the cooling of the infrared detector and HTS to the cryogenic temperature. The Stirling refrigerator with the rotary compressor are applicable to the cooling device for the compact mobile thermal imaging system, because the refrigerators have the compact structure and light weight. The typical performance factors of the Stirling refrigerator are the cool-down time, cooling capacity at the desired temperature and the input power. And the above performance factors are depends on the thermal insulation characteristics of the Dewar. In this study, the steady thermal load of the Dewar and the performance of the Stirling refrigerator were measured. The results show the dependency of the input power and the charging pressure on the performance of the refrigerator.

In all larger hardmetal workshops furnaces for dewaxing, vacuum sintering or vacuum and overpressure sintering are today's standard. The furnace technology is well established. Equipment specifications such as operating overpressure, determine sintering cost, product quality, safety and reliability of the furnace and ultimately influence the competitiveness of the hard metal procucer in the global market. Essential furnace requirements are an efficient utilization of the furnace, an environmental friendly dewaxing system, high temperature uniformity, metallurgical treatment with process gases, as well as reduced cooling time by means of rapid cooling. Examples of reduced sintering costs are described achieved using a new design of vacuum sintering furnace with an improved rapid cooling device, cooling times are reduced by up to 45%. Additionally, a cost comparison of two different designs of vacuum overpressure sintering furnaces are included.

With the advantages of power savings, increased life expectancy and fast response time over traditional incandescent bulb, LEDs are increasingly used for many applications including automotive, aviation, display, and special lighting applications. Since the high heat generation of LED chips can reduce service life, degrade luminous efficiency, and cause variation of color temperature, many studies have been carried out on the optimization of LED packaging and heat sinks. In this study, a fin expansion type cooling device using heat pipe, instead of a solid aluminum heat sink, was designed for LED security lightings based on thermal resistance analysis. Numerical analysis and experimental validation were carried out to evaluate its cooling performance.

A double-heterostructure mesa-stripe-geometry laser diode integrated with thermoelectric Peltier cooler has been designed and fabricated. Epi-layers have been grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition(MOCVD) method. Peltier cooling effect has been measured for devices with a mesa width of 14$\mu$m and a cavity length of 380$\mu$m. The effects of thermoelectric cooling could be shown by measuring the optical output of the laser with the increase of the current in the thermoelectric cooler. While the input courrent of the laser was maintained at 250mA, the optical output was decreased from 4.8mW to 3.8mW due to heating, but with the thermoelectric cooler on the optical output power was recovered by more than 40%. The results show that the complicated cooling device is not needed since the cooling can be achevied by the developement of the fabrication processing.

This paper presents the results of a series of performance tests for the Stilting cryocooler. A free piston and free displacer(FPFD) Stilting cryocooler for cooling infrared and cryo-sensors is currently under development at KIMM. Our coolers are specifically designed to work in the thermal imaging device and to meet requirements such as cooling capacity, COP and high reliability. In this work, Stilting cryocooler is designed, manufactured and fabricated, and performance characteristics for the cooling capacity / applied input power and cool down time are investigated. This cooler delivers approximately 0.9W cooling at 80K for 30W ~ 40W of input power. And, It takes approximately 2 minutes to cool down to 80K at the ambient temperature of 23$^{\circ}C$.

The vortex tube is a sample device for separating a compressed gaseous fluid stream into two flows of high and low temperature without any chemical reactions. The phenomena of energy separation through the vortex tube were investigated experimentally, to see the effects of the number of nozzle holes on the energy separation. The experiment was carried out with the number of nozzle holes from 1 to 10 by varying inlet pressure and cold mass fraction. The experimental results were indicated that the effective number of nozzle holes for the best cooling performance was found as 4. Also, to find effective use in a given operation conditions, the temperature difference of cold air and the cooling capacity of vortex tube was compared. The result is that cooling capacity was more important than temperature difference of cold air.

A numerical investigation on the conduction-natural convection-surface radiation conjugate heat transfer in the enclosure having substrate and chips has been performed. A 2-dimensional simulation model is developed by considering heat transfer by conduction, convection and radiation. The solutions to the equation of radiative transfer are obtained by the discrete ordinates method using S-4 quadrature. The effects of Rayleigh number and the substrate-fluid thermal conductivity ratio on the cooling of chip are analyzed. The result shows that radiation is the dominant heat transfer mode in the enclosure.
