  • The insatiable desire of consumers to want more and more performance from computer equipment has driven the powers of this equipment to levels that are putting a strain on the thermal management of data centers housing this equipment. Equipment powers have been rising steadily over the past 10 years at a rapid rate. When the industry switched from bipolar to CMOS back in the early 90's industry experts had thought that the low power CMOS technology would resolve all problems associated with power and heat. Little did they know that now the problems associated with the CMOS equipment has surpassed anything installed with the bipolar technologies 10 to 15 years ago. Data centers are being designed with 15 to 20 years life spans and customers we asking how to plan for the power and cooling within these data centers. This paper addresses some of the current issues with cooling of equipment in data centers and describes some of the on-going efforts to under the thermal environment. To set the stage far describing the data center thermal management issues the power trends from the microprocessor to the rack will be described.

  • The cooling system, including a fan is a one of the major sources to generate the radiated noise of construction equipment. Therefore, it is required to reduce the flow noise induced by a fan in order to reduce the noise level. In this study, we made an engine room model to carry out a variety of experiments. And then, the flow noise analysis technique using the CFD code was applied to the cooling system of construction equipment. These analyses results agree well with the measurement results. These results make it possible to understand the flow noise characteristics and to design the low noise cooling system in the design stage.

  • As the OLED industry develops, display equipment is becoming larger. As a result, the stage required for display equipment is getting bigger. This enlargement led to increase in OLED production and industrial development. However, due to the large scale of the stage, other problems due to overheating and overheating caused by heavy load on the linear motor, which is mainly used in the stage, must be solved. In this study, a linear motor equipped with a cooling channel is modeled and the three - dimensional heat conduction flow analysis for this model is simulated using Fluent to analyze the cooling efficiency and cooling efficiency according to the cooling water flow rate. As a result, the cooling channel was effective and the cooling effect and efficiency were the best when the flow rate was about 5 ~ 10 L./min. In addition, the cooling effect is increased when the flow rate is increased, but the efficiency is significantly lowered when the flow rate is more than the predetermined value.

  • Vacuum chamber or vacuum tube for the exhaust process of vacuum glazing is presently used, where excessive time and expenses are required to make the whole vacuum chamber or tube vacuum. To solve this problem, multifunction equipment for vacuum exhaust and ultrasonic joining at atmospheric pressure has been developed, in which a piezoelectric vibrator experiences excessive temperature rise resulting in optimizing the cooling of the equipment. Therefore, in this study, cooling effects of natural convection and forced convection methods were identified by numerical analysis and experiments, and cooling performance of the multifunction equipment was optimized.

  • Seoulmetro has operated the air cooling equipment for 57 stations to improve services focused on our customers who use Seoulmetro during the summer season and has established every year. However, a new set of problems has arisen with the cooling tower to support a heat exchange of cooling water. The most important matter is loss of efficiency in the cooling tower. The leading cause of this problem is that we use an indoor type. As the cooling tower room is located in the underground of the city because of the residents near the station. Therefore It is difficult to establish the cooling tower on the ground. But it is unsuitable for the location requirements of the underground type because it has a limited space to set up the air cooling equipment, for example, the cooling tower and a ventilating opening. As a result of such an unfavorable condition, the cooling tower doesn't work efficiently and the warmth of cooling water because of insufficiency of a heat exchange and a refrigerator's technical obstacle such as a high-temperature and a high-pressure has arisen. To prevent this situation, the operator tend to reduce refrigerant. Accordingly, the efficiency of the air conditioning is getting lower and lower. Study wishes to analyze the matter to improve indoor cooling tower efficiency and recommend a best practice for a person who manage the establishment.

  • Cooling the electronic equipment is one of the major focal points of the design process and the key to successful product launch. The two-phase loop thermosyphone which is a good candidate among many available options was investigated fur cooling of the high power amplifiers. The system is composed of evaporator which contains 6 parallel cold plates, fan cooled condenser, gas-liquid separator, and interconnecting tubes. Experiments were performed for several refrigerant charging values, hs and as a experiment result, the optimum charging value fur this system was proposed. In order to optimize the system design, the operating cycle pressure and inlet/outlet temperatures of evaporator and condenser are measured and analyzed. The effect of the three parameters such as flow rate and temperature of condenser cooling air, and thermal load on the evaporator are investigated. The lower the operating pressure and the cycle temperatures are also better to prevent the leakage of the system. The system invesigated in this paper can be directly used for cooling of a real unmanned wireless communication station.

  • There are so many types of construction equipment. Excavator is one of typical construction equipment which is working under the tough and severe environments. It's important for engineers to design CE components by the vibration durability point of view. Traditionally, two typical vibration durability methods to verify the durability of components. The first is experimental method which is using the vibration durability test bench. But experimental approach on vibration durability is needed a lot of cost and time. The second is analytical method which is using the vibration durability analysis such as Dirlik, Stainberg, Lalanne and others methodologies. The one of main advantages on vibration durability analysis can reduce the cost and time. We present a vibration durability analysis process and methodology on the guardrail system in excavator.

  • Electric and telecommunication industries are constantly striving towards miniaturization of electronic devices. Miniaturization of chips creates extra space on PCBs that can be populated with additional components, which decreases the heat transfer surface area and generates very high heat flux. Even though an air-cooling technology for telecommunication equipment has been developed in accordance with rapid growth in electrical industry, it is confronted with the limitation of cooling capacity due to the rapid increase of heat density. In this study, liquid-cooling heat exchangers with MPCM slurries were designed and tested by varying geometry and operating conditions. The liquid-cooling heat exchangers with 4-paths showed higher cooling performance than the others. The cooling performance of liquid cooling heat exchanger with MPCM slurries was more enhanced than that of the air cooling system. It's performance was also slightly superior to that of the water cooling system at the inlet temperature of $19^{\circ}C$.
