Recently, the distributed power generation market using natural gas is expected to expand gradually according to the government's future energy conversion policy. Distributed power generation means small power generation source near the power demand site, which has the advantage of reducing the construction costs of the transmission and distribution infrastructure, operating cost and power loss. A typical example of distributed generation using natural gas is the trigeneration system. In this study, we conducted a basic study on the performance analysis of trigeneration desiccant system for dehumidifying / cooling / heating in the air conditioner room by using the cold and engine waste heat energy generated in the trigeneration system. It shows that the system efficiency increases and the energy consumption decreases as the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet of the trigeneration system increases compared with the general air conditioning system.

우리나라의 여름 기후는 고온 다습한 특징을 갖고 있다. 고온 다습한 지역에서는 습도가 쾌적성을 결정하는데 중요한 요소가 되기 때문에, 습도가 높으면 온도가 그다지 높지 않더라도 쉽게 무더위를 느낀다. 이러한 계절적 특성을 없애 쾌적한 생활을 영위하기 위하여 생활의 질적 향상과 더불어 공조장치의 수요가 매년 두드러지게 증가하고 있다. 특히, 실내의 경우에는 공조장치 중 대표적인 에어컨(air conditioner)으로 냉방을 행함으로써 고온 다습한 여름철의 거주공간을 개선하고 있다. 그러나 고온 다습한 환경하에서의 과다한 에어컨 사용은 인체의 온열 환경적 측면에서 오히려 불리하다. 왜냐 하면, 에어컨에서는 여름철에 잠열(latent heat)을 고려해야 함에도 불구하고 단지 현열비(sensible heat factor)로 취출온도를 결정하고 있기 때문이다. 그 결과, 실내가 과다하게 냉각되어 재실자에게 불쾌감은 물론, 심지어 냉방병도 초래할 수가 있다.

최근에 국내외 에너지 이용 효율성 증대 문제, CFCs등으로 인한 오존층 파괴문제, $CO_2$ 등으로 인한 지구온난화 문제, 실내공기질(IAQ)과 관련된 건물 환기량 증대요구로 인한 건물용 공조시스템(HVAC)의 설계변경 문제 등으로 인해 다양한 종류의 대체 냉방기기가 연구되어 오고 있다. 현재 미국에서는 ASHRAE Standard 62-1989에 의해 실내거주자의 필요한 IAQ와 쾌적함을 유지하기 위해 환기량을 기존의 경우보다 약 3배 이상이 되도록 권장하고 있고 또한 대다수의 미국 주 정부에서 건물설계에 관련된 조례로 ASHRAE Standard 62-1989를 적용하고 있다. 따라서 빌딩공조 설비관계자들은 늘어난 환기 요구량에 따라 잠열냉방용량이 크게 증대되므로 이를 처리하기 위한 새로운 냉방공조기기 시스템기술에 대해 관심이 증대하고 있다. 이에 따라 건조제를 x이용한 냉방 및 제습 시스템이 대체 냉방시스템 또는 기존의 냉방 시스템과 더불어 잠열부하를 처리하는 복합 시스템으로 최근에 다시 상당한 주목을 받고 있다.

A hybrid desiccant cooling system (HDCS) that uses a heat pump driven by district heating instead of a sensible rotor can provide an increased energy efficiency in summer. In this paper, the summer operation costs and initial costs of both the HDCS and traditional systems are analyzed using annual equal payments, and national benefits are found from using the HDCS instead of traditional systems. In the analysis results, the HDCS reduces the operation cost by 30 compared to the traditional systems, and each HDCS unit has 0.079 TOE per year of primary energy savings and 0.835 $TCO_2$ per year of $CO_2$ emission reduction more than the traditional systems. If HDCSs were to be installed in 680,000 households by 2020, this would produce a replacement power effect of 463 MW. Despite this savings effect, HDCSs require a government subsidy before they can be supplied because the initial cost is higher than that of traditional systems. Thus, this paper calculates suitable subsidies and suggests a supply method for HDCSs considering the national benefits.

The present study has been conducted to study the performance of dedicated outdoor air handling unit in central and personal air-conditioning. With conventional central and personal air-conditioning systems which are designed according to the maximum load, humidity increase above comfort level can not be avoided as the cooling load decreases. The adoption of dedicated outdoor air handling unit, however, can solve this problem. Moreover, the dedicated outdoor air handling unit has the characteristics of anti-bacteria due to dry coil, energy saving and good indoor air quality. During cooling seasons, dedicated outdoor air handling unit can save energy up to 30% than the conventional cooling+reheating system for controlling both temperature and humidity.

In summer electrical energy is consumed in very high rate. It is used to operate conventional air conditioning system. Hot and humid air can germinate mould spores, encourage ill health, and create physiological stress (discomfort). Dehumidifier solar cooling effect is the one alternative solution saving electrical energy. We use surplus heat energy in the summer, to get cooling effect and then to get human reach to comfort condition. These devices have two system, dehumidifier and regeneration system. This paper will be focus in dehumidifier system. Dehumidifier system use for absorbing moisture in the air and decreasing air temperature. When the liquid desiccant as strong solution contact with the vapor air in the packed tower, it works. The heat and mass transfer performances of flow pattern in the packed tower of dehumidifier are analyzed and compared in detail. In this experiment was introduced, the flow patterns are parallel flow and counter flow. The performance of these flow patterns will calculate from air side. Which is the best flow pattern that gave huge mass transfer rate? The proposed dehumidifier flow pattern will be helpful in the design and optimization of the dehumidifier solar cooling system.

This study is experimentally performed for using the oyster shell as a desiccant in the batch type system. The peltier element(thermoelectric device) is used for absorbing and releasing the adsorption and desorption heat generation. The cooling and heating effects of peltier element exist in this experiment and these effects are generally known phenomena among some references. The increase in electric current induced into peltier element is effectively release the heat generation of adsorption and desorption. Consequently, the non-dimensional adsorption and desorption amount would increase with increase in electric current. However, in the case of adsorption, the increase of induced current into peltier element, the heat of cold side can not release sufficiently. So the heat of hot side of peltier is transferred into the cold side.

Solar energy is one of the important renewable energy resources. It can be used for air heating, hot water supply, heat source of desiccant cooling system and so on. And many researches for enhancing efficiency have been conducted because of these various uses of solar thermal energy. This study was performed to investigate the air heating performance of hybrid solar air-water heater that can heat air and liquid respectively or simultaneously and finding method for improving thermal performance of this collector. This collector has both liquid pipe and air channel different with the traditional solar water and air heater. Fins were installed in the air channel for enhancing the air heating performance of collector. Also air inlet & outlet temperature, ambient temperature and solar collector's inner part temperature were confirmed with different air velocity on similar solar irradiance. As a result, temperature of heated air was shown about $43^{\circ}C$ to $60^{\circ}C$ on the $30^{\circ}C$ of ambient temperature and thermal efficiency of solar collector was shown 28% to 73% with respect to air velocity. Also, possibility of improvement of thermal performance of this collector could be ascertained from the heat transfer coefficient calculated from this experiment. Thus, it is considered that the research for finding optimal structure of hybrid solar air-water heater for enhancing thermal performance might be needed to conduct as further study based on the method for improving air heating performance confirmed in this study.

In order to improve the recovery efficiency of heavy water vapour from the atmosphere inside a reactor building, and to recover and upgrade the heavy water which escape, special treatments, such as reducing the ingress of light water vapour, are studied in the design of the CANDU reactor systems. This is considered in controlled method of the humidity over drawing fresh air through a desiccant dehumidifier which dries the air by absorption. Comparing with the moisture loads between summer and winter operations, the moisture removal rates are calculated. Those are proportional to the difference between the controlled space and the surrounding environment Installation of a new dehumidifier will be able to reduce the moisture loads from the cooling systems, improving overall system efficiency and saving operating costs.
