A numerical study has been carried out to investigate the heat and mass transfer of an oil pumping system with a variable shape of the housing using the CFD method. Especially, the electric motor and the pump combined together, accomplishes a research about the oil supplying system. In this study, the temperature and velocity distribution of the oil pumping system by varying the flow rate of supplying oil have been investigated. The temperature changes with each five conditions(flow rate of supply oil : 2, 4, 8, 12, and 16 liter/min) have also been studied. The numerical results show that the exhaust temperature decreases as the flow rate of the supplying oil increases. It also reveals that the temperatures change differently with the housing shape.

The objective of this study is to investigate the cooling performance of the roof mounted air-conditioning system using electric driven scroll compressor for zero emission vehicles. This air conditioner with air source was used R-134a as a refrigerant and tested under various operating conditions such as refrigerant charge amount and indoor temperature, and compressor frequencies. Experimental results revealed that at all tested compressor frequencies, heat transfer rate of the evaporator increased and the cooling COP increased with the indoor temperature. In addition, the heat transfer rate of the evaporator was over 25.0kW sufficient for the cooling loads of an electric bus.

Generally, the generation methods of cooling energy are electric air conditioning (EAC) and gas air conditioning (GAC). The EAC system is caused by increasing peak power during summer. Because the electric energy has a characteristic of non-storage, the peak electric load has been issued social problem annually whether the facility to supply is enough or not. Another way to supply cooling energy, GAC system is worked by gas energy. The absorption chiller and gas engine heat pump have been commercialized for cooling. However, the total capacity of GAC is much less than EAC and it almost depends on EAC for small market. This paper described the status of cooling energy consumption in domestic and expected the cooling energy to be consumed by electric and gas energy up to 2024 year. And also the benefit of GAC was analyzed with the case of its expansion and it was aimed to give background to fit the GAC policy.

A scroll expander has been designed to produce a shaft power from a R134a Rankine cycle for electricity generation. Heat was supplied to the Rankine cycle through a heat exchanger, which received heat from another cycle of water. In the water cycle, water was heated up in a boiler using biogenic solid fuel. The designed scroll expander was a horizontal type, and a trochoidal oil pump was employed for oil supply to bearings and Oldham-ring keys. For axial compliance, a back pressure chamber was created on the backside of the orbiting scroll base plate. Numerical study has been carried out to estimate the performance of the designed scroll expander. The expander was estimated to produce the shaft power of about 2.9 kW from a heat supply of 36 kW, when the temperature of R134a was $80^{\circ}C$ and $35^{\circ}C$ at the evaporator and condenser of the Rankine cycle, respectively. The expander efficiency was about 70.5%. When the amount of heat supply varied in the ranges of 7.5~55 kW, the expander efficiency changed in the range of 45.6~70.5%, showing a peak efficiency of 70.5% at the design shaft speed.

Since the revision of the Rationalization of Energy Use Law, the spread of new and renewable energy in buildings has been promoted. In addition, the production of electric power and thermal energy is an important issue in the change of energy paradigm centered on the use of distributed energy. Among them, geothermal energy is attracting attention as a high-performance energy-saving technology capable of coping with heating / cooling and hot water load by utilizing the constant temperature zone of the earth. However, there is a disadvantage that the initial investment cost is high as a method of calculating the capacity of a geothermal facility by calculating the maximum load. The disadvantages of these disadvantages are that the geothermal energy supply is getting stagnant and the design of the geothermal system needs to be supplemented. In this study, optimization design of geothermal system was carried out using optimization tool. As a result of the optimization, the ground heat exchanger decreased by 30.8%, the capacity of the heat pump decreased by 7.7%, and the capacity of the heat storage tank decreased by about 40%. The simulation was performed by applying the optimized value to the program and confirmed that it corresponds to the load of the building. We also confirmed that all of the constraints used in the optimization design were satisfied. The initial investment cost of the optimized geothermal system is about 18.6% lower than the initial investment cost.

Lithium-ion batteries are commonly employed in hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), and achieving high energy density in the battery has been one of the most critical issues in the automotive industry. Because liquid cooling containing antifreeze is important in automotive batteries to enable cold starts, an effective geometric configuration for high-cooling performance should be carefully investigated. Battery cooling with antifreeze has also been considered to realize successful cold starts. In this article, we theoretically investigate a specific property of an antifreeze cooling battery system, and we perform numerical modeling to satisfy the required thermal specifications. Because a typical battery system in HEVs consists of multiple stacked battery cells, the cooling performance is determined mainly by the special properties of antifreeze in the coolant passage, which dissipates heat generated from the battery cells. We propose that the required cooling performance can be realized by performing numerical simulations of different geometric configurations for battery cooling. Furthermore, we perform a theoretical analysis as a design guideline to optimize the cooling performance with minimum power consumption by the cooling pump.

The cogeneration system can operate at efficiencies greater than those achieved when heat and power are produced in separate. The optimal system can be determined by selecting the auxiliary system combined with cogeneration system. In the present study, economic investigation has been conducted with the cogeneration electric heat pump(EHP) system and the cogeneration absorption chiller(AC) system to install in a school dormitory. To analyze life cycle cost(LCC), cost items such as initial investment costs, annual energy costs and maintenance costs of each system have been considered. The initial investment cost is referred to the basis of estimated costs, and annual energy costs such as the electric power and gas consumption are based on the data in a school dormitory. LCC is evaluated with the present worth method. Considering investigated results, the initial investment cost of the cogeneration EHP system is more profitable about 24% than that of the cogeneration AC system. The energy cost of the cogeneration EHP system is more profitable about 8% than the cogeneration AC system. The LCC shows that the cogeneration EHP system is the most effective system in the school dormitory.

In this paper, some ideas are proposed to establish the infrastructure of all-electric houses which are able to reduce primary energy consumption and $CO_2$ emission by adopting heat pump systems and induction heating cookers excluding the use of fossil fuel energy. This electrification concept is based on the consumption of only one type of energy which means electricity as secondary energy and the conventional fossil fuel energy is just consumed to generate electricity as primary energy. All-electric house is laid on the extension of the hydrogen economy in a long-term viewpoint so that the effectiveness of this new conceptual house is estimated analyzing the reduction of $CO_2$ emission. In this analysis, the balance of electricity supply and demand is considered including the construction of new power plants by renewable energy such as nuclear, IGCC and fuel cell because decarbonization is an essential element of hydrogen technology and economy and this action is accomplished in both supply and demand side of electricity. The results are able to contribute to develop various useful hydrogen policies and strategies and some detail researches are required previously to make the best application of this new conceptual house.
