A district heating(DH) system supplies environmentally-friend heat and is appropriate for reduction of energy consumption and/or air pollutions. The objectives of this paper are to systematize data processing of transition temperature, investigate its effects on fatigue life of DH pipes and optimization for size of DH pipes. A relational database management system as well as reliable fatigue life evaluation procedures is established for Korean DH pipes. Also, since the prototypal evaluation results satisfied both cycle-based and stress-based fatigue criteria. Through the optimum design process, the cross section diminished 18.64% and the CUF diminished 23.35%. So, it can be used as useful information in the future for optimal design, operation and energy saving via setting of efficient condition and stabilization of water temperature.

우리는 원자력발전시스템에서부터 상수도까지 많은 배관시스템을 사용하고 있다. 그리고 이들 배관시스템의 적절한 운용을 위하여 배관시스템의 유지 및 보수 등을 수행하고 있다. 특히 한국지역난방공사와 같은 대형플랜트 배관시스템의 고장은 기업의 생산성과 이익에 직결된 문제일 뿐만 아니라 국민의 안전과 편익과 같은 매우 중요한 문제를 유발할 수 있기 때문에 빠른 대응과 안전한 수리가 가장 중요한 문제로 대두되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 한국지역난방공사 사용 중인 이중보온 열수송관(300A)의 유지보수를 위하여 액화질소를 이용한 배관 동결차수공법을 개발하였다. 본 연구에서는 전산해석기법을 채용하여 대상 열수송관과 전용 재킷에 대한 내부 유동 및 열전달 해석을 수행하여 최적의 시스템을 선정하고, 상세 모델을 설계, 제작하였다. 실험실 규모 시험장치를 개발하여 차수공법에 대한 자체시험을 수행하고, 한국지역난방공사 세종지사 Test bed에서 현장적용 성능평가 시험을 수행하였다.

A new district cooling system using ice slurry for the uncertain cooling load of the future is presented. The chilled water produced by the absorption chillers is used for the base cooling load. The temperature of the chilled water is reduced by mixing of ice slurry depending on increasing of the cooling load. Finally, IF of the ice slurry is increased up to 10% at the peak load. The transporting mass flow rate is decreased down to 44.7%, and the diameter of the main pipe is decreased down to 66.7%, but the diameter of the branched pipe is designed as the same size of the chilled water.

This study aimed to elucidate causes of corrosion of heat transport pipes and air vents installed under a manhole of heat transport facilities and suggest effective anticorrosive measures by applying paints or adhesive tapes. It was found that air vent corrosion was attributed to corrosion under insulation caused by the inflow of water and the enrichment of chloride ions. The infiltrated water caused a hydrolysis of polyurethane foam (PUF) insulation by concentrating chloride ions at the interface between a pipe and the PUF. As insulator deteriorated, more chloride ions were eluted as confirmed by ion chromatograph (IC) analysis. As an effective method to prevent air vent corrosion, different types of paints and adhesive tapes with higher corrosion resistance on chloride ions were applied and environmental resistance tests were performed with those samples. Based on environmental test results of samples exposed to 10% HCl solution, it was revealed that a wax tape was the most adequate from a viewpoint of stability at operating condition, environmental resistance, surface treatment, and field applicability.

The air vent connected to a heat supply pipeline in the district heating system has been used to eliminate the existing air in the pipe, which has a detrimental effect on corrosion durability and heat efficiency. Recently, the air vent installed under a manhole for 22 years was corroded and several pinholes were detected in the front-end of the air vent. To identify the cause of the failure, thickness reduction, corrosion products, and water quality were examined. The corrosion damage was significant at the outside of the front-end of the air vent where the insulator was covered. While a thin oxide layer was formed in the interior of the tube, the coarse and porous corrosion products consisting of magnetite and hematite were found externally. Water flowing into the thermal insulator was absorbed by the insulator following hydrolysis. The hydrolyzed insulator ejected the corrosion factors such as Cl^-, SO₄^2-, and NH₄⁺. The findings suggest that the corrosion under insulation due to rain water is the main cause of the underlying failure in the air vent.

In the present study, optimal heat supply algorithm which minimize the heat loss through the distribution pipe line in group energy apartment was developed. Variation of heating load of group energy apartment building in accord with the outdoor air temperature was predicted by the heating load-outdoor temperature correlation. Supply water temperature and mass flow rate were controlled to minimize the heat loss through distribution pipe line. District heating apartment building located in Hwaseong city, which has 1,473 households, was selected as the object building for testing the present heat supply a1gorithm. Compared to the previous heat supply system, 10.4% heat loss reduction can be accomplished by employing the present method.

The drag reduction(DR) for Betaine+Amin and Xantan Gum as kinds of surfactant and Polyacrylamide as kinds of polymer solution according to the fluid velocity, temperature and surfactant concentration were compared experimentally. For this study, two kinds of experimental apparatus for short time and long time measurement were established. Each experimental appratus was equipped with hot water storage tanks, pumps, testing pipe network, flowmeter, two pressure gauges and data logging system was built for them. Results showed that Betaine+Amin and Xanthan Gum as kinds of surfactant had appeared optimal DR around 200-500 ppm and their DR tended to be decreased when flow velocity increased but Polyacrylamide as kinds of polymer solution showed the opposite trend to be increased when flow velocity increased. The both of them showed above 40% DR in the case of better condition by the short term measurement. But Polyacrylamide as kinds of polymer solution showed more degradation than Betaine+Amin and Xanthan Gum as kinds of surfactant by the long term measurement. As a result, Betaine+Amin and Xanthan Gum as kinds of surfactant showed better materials to use to the district heating system.

A district heating(DH) system supplies environmentally-friend heat and is appropriate for reduction of energy consumption and/or air pollutions. The DH transmission pipe, composed of supply and return pipes, has been used to transmit the heat and prevent heat loss during transportation. The two types of pipes are operated at a temperature of $75\~115^{\circ}C\;and\;40\~65^{\circ}C$, respectively, with an operating pressure of less than 1.568MPa. The objectives of this paper are to systematize data processing of transition temperature and investigate its effects on fatigue life of DH pipes. For the sake of this, about 5 millions temperature data were measured during one year at ten locations, and then available fatigue lift estimation schemes were examined and applied to quantify the specific thermal fatigue life of each pipe. As a result, a relational database management system as well as reliable fatigue lift evaluation procedures is established for Korean DH pipes. Also, since the prototypal evaluation results satisfied both cycle-based and stress-based fatigue criteria, those can be used as useful information in the future fer optimal design, operation and energy saving via setting of efficient condition and stabilization of water temperature.

지역난방은 국내에 1985년 처음 도입되었다. 지하 열배관망의 사용연한이 30년 이상 증가함에 따라, 지하에 매설된 열수송 배관 특성상 유지관리가 중요한 문제로 대두되고 있다. 노후화가 진행된 열배관망 유지보수를 위한 정기적인 점검, 운영관리 시 다양한 복합 기술이 필요하다. 특히 현장에서 경제적 관점에서 최적 유지보수 및 교체시점을 도출하기 위하여 의사결정에 활용될 수 있는 모형개발이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 한국지역난방공사 수도권 5개 지사열 배관망 운영 시 보수이력과 사고성 데이터를 바탕으로 분석하였다. 정성적 분석과 이항 로지스틱 회귀분석의 통계적 기법을 도입하여 파손확률 모델을 개발하였다. 보수이력 및 사고성 자료의 정성적 분석 결과, 파이프라인 손상의 가장 중요한 원인으로 건설 시공불량, 배관의 부식과 자재 불량이 전체의 약 82%를 차지했다. 통계 모델 분석에서는 분류의 분리 점을 0.25로 설정함으로써 열배관 파손 및 비 파손 분류의 정확도가 73.5%로 향상 되었다. 파손확률 모델 수립을 위해 Hosmer와 Lemeshow 검정과 독립변수의 유의성 검정, 모델의 Chi-Square 검정을 통해 모델의 적합성을 검증 하였다. 열배관망 파손의 위험순위 분석결과에 따르면 파손확률을 가장 높이는 경우는 겨울철 서울지역 자동차 도로에 있는 10년 이상 된 250mm이하 배관 Reducer에서 F 건설회사가 시공했던 열배관망으로 분석되었다. 본 연구결과는 열배관망 시스템의 유지관리 및 예방점검, 교체 사업 우선순위를 정할 때 활용 가능하다. 또한 이를 통하여 점검 유지보수 등 사전에 사고예방 계획을 수립하여 대처함으로써 열배관 파손의 빈도를 감소시키고 보다 적극적인 열배관망 관리에 이용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

축열조는 집단에너지를 공급하는 지역의 고도와 열부하에 따라 높이와 용량이 결정된다. 이는 축열조의 수두를 이용하여 열배관망에 압력을 가하고 배관망내의 비등을 방지하며 온도변화에 따라 체적이 팽창하면 이를 흡수하고 수축 시에는 부족한 중온수를 배관망에 공급하는 기능을 해야 하기 때문이다. 또한, 축열조의 역할은 주로 열수요량의 변화가 심한 계절별 주간 야간 시간대에 적절한 용량을 갖추고 잉여 열량을 저장한 후 필요한 시간대에 지역난방 열원으로 이용하면 열생산 설비의 운전 조건에 영향을 받지 않으면서 독자적으로 지역난방 열수요를 공급할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 연구는 지역난방에 건설되어 운영 중인 축열조 27기 중 폴리우레탄 폼의 단열 재료로 시공된 18기의 축열조에 대하여 단열재의 재질과 축열조의 운전방법에 따른 단열재의 손상원인에 대한 고찰과 단열재 손상이 축열조 부식에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 고찰하였다.
