When NaOCl was generated and put into sea-water cooling machine in order to overcome the biological hindrances against sea-water cooling machine, it was converted into metallic ion, particularly Ca and Mg, as a hydrate in sea-water and is to stick to electrolyte as a side reaction. This phenomena make the distance between the electrolytes narrow to decrease the flow rate, which induces the local vortex flow which erodes the pole plate. Moreover, this increases the resistance of the electrolyte as well as voltage to decrease the electrolytic efficiency, which has curtailed a chlorine yield and caused a pole plate cut. We are able to overcome these problems by chemical cleaning and intend to extend the life-time of electrolyte and to increase output of the sea-water electrolysis facilities by studying optimal policy regarding chemical cleaning of electrolytic cell. Cleaning time of electrolytic facilities is determined when both increase in electrolytic efficiency and decrease in pole-plate voltage are 10%. At this time as operating current of electrolytic facilities is high, operating time is diminished. Whereas, parameter of end point determination according to cleaning is Mg ionic concentration in solution. When we use Cleaner as a 7wt% HCl, cleaning time is about 80min proper. We are able to maintain pole plate performance by protecting against pole plate cut by means of electrolytic by-product, improve operating rate of facilities, and cut down on maintenance expenditure after acidic cleaning.

In order to produce the high quality rehydrated acorn Mook(Korean tradition gel flood) that enhance acceptability, the optimum condition was investigated for the rehydration process of dried Monk as salt concentration(0, 1, 2%), temperature(20, 70, 80, 90$^{\circ}C$) and time. The estimation of moisture gain, rehydration efficiency was analyzed statistically. The surface color md seniory evaluation were undertaken to evaluate the rehydrated Mook quality The optimum rehydration time was decided to 15 minutes and it takes 3 minutes for the cooling tilde. The moisture gain increased as the rehydration temperature increase. And the moisture gain and moisture gain rate were higher at 1% salt solution than other concentration. As the rehydration efficiency, surface color and sensory properties of rehydrated Mook, 1% salt treatment was superior.

This paper proposes photovoltaic thermal hybrid module to get the electrical and Thermal performance of building integrated photovoltaic(BIPV) system. BIPV system is decreased the system efficiency because output of PV is decreased by the thermal rising on generating. In order to improve the efficiency of BIPV module, water cooling system is applied and generated thermal is used the warm water system. Water cooling system uses the flux control algorithm considering water temperature and power loss. Electrical and thermal performance of proposed photovoltaic thermal hybrid module is confirmed through the actual experiment and herby proved the valid of this paper.

In order to improve efficiency, an outdoor unit using a refrigerant cooling method is designed into many air conditioner systems. The heat exchanger is composed of a Cu tube and an plate. The optimal design for the cold plate is very important because the efficiency of the heat transfer depends on the contact area between the Cu tube and the cold plate. The current study focused on the design of the cold plate to obtain a uniform contact between the Cu tube and the cold plate. Both FE(finite element) analysis and optimization were used in the design. The contact area between the tube and plate was predicted and improved by 16% through the press forming simulations. The springback after press forming was also reduced when the optimized design parameters were used. To verify the validity of the optimal cold plate design, a verification test was conducted. As a result, the performance of the heat exchanger improved by 34% when compared to benchmarked products.

To study the applicability of a scroll type compressor to small capacity refrigerators, a R600a scroll compressor with algebraic scroll wrap has been designed. Its size and performance have been compared to a reciprocating type of the same displacement volume. By employing scroll wrap based on algebraic curve, high compression ratio can be accomplished without increasing the wrap angle much so that compact scroll may be obtained. Compared to a reciprocating one, the designed scroll compressor has diameter and height reduced by about 50% and 80%, respectively. By numerical simulation, it has been estimated that the scroll compressor provides 38.6% more cooling capacity than reciprocating type with 8.9% more power consumption, resulting in 27.3% increase in COP for ASHRAE low back pressure condition. With increasing the operating pressure ratio from 9.5 to 15.3, the overall compressor efficiency of the scroll compressor decreases from 72.6% to 65.2%, while that of the reciprocating compressor increases from 55.7% to 59.8%.

Perimeter zone is one of the weakest area in buildings and it makes an increase of heating and cooling loads, in addition to condensation or discomfort with cold-draft to residents in winter. Because of this, it needs to be reinforced by active systems. However, they use fossil fuel, and ultimately greenhouse effect is urged. Thus, we proposed BIPV system functioned as solar collector which can substitute active system. As an fundamental stage, heat balance equation in steady-state by Fortran was used not only, in winter for pre-heating effect and electric power capacity during the day, but also in summer, for the latter during the day and sky radiation effect during the night. Especially, we should have considered shading on PV by IES Suncast, since even a little bit of it makes the efficiency too low for the PV modules to work. As a result, in summer day, the PV panel should be tiled in 70 degrees to gain the most electric power. Moreover, we could verify that this model makes higher temperature and heat flux under 0.02 m/s. On the other hand, the PV had the high efficiency with high velocity because of cooling effect behind the PV. Therefore, we should regard the air current distribution later on.

A $CO_2$ cycle shows large throttling loss during the expansion process. The application of an expander into the $CO_2$ cycle can reduce the throttling loss and then improve system performance. In this study, the performance of a transcritical $CO_2$ cycle with an expander was analytically investigated in order to improve the cooling performance of the system. The expander was applied to the single-stage and two-stage compression cycles. The performance was analyzed with the variations of compressor frequency, outdoor temperature, and expander efficiency. The single-stage and two-stage compression cycles with the expander showed COP improvement of 25% and 32%, respectively, over the single-stage cycle with an EEV.

Recently, many researchers have analyzed the performance of the transcritical $CO_2$ refrigeration cycle in order to identify opportunities to improve the system energy efficiency. The reduction of the expansion process losses is one of the key issues to improve the efficiency of the transcritical $CO_2$ refrigeration cycle. In this study, the analytical study on the performance characteristics of $CO_2$ cycle with an ejector carried out with a variation of outdoor temperature, gascooler inlet air velocity, evaporator inlet air velocity, and evaporator inlet air temperature. As a result, the system performance could be improved over 85% by using an ejector for various operating condition because of the reduction of compressor work. Moreover, the cooling capacity increased about 18% for variable outdoor condition. Therefore, the high performance of an ejector system could be maintained for wide operating conditions and system reliability could be improved compared to that of a basic system.
