This study deals with the development of an electrofusion welding machine that is capable of joining plastic pipes using a recently developed electrofusion fitting. This fitting has built-in conductive plastics that are used to weld the joint together as a heating element. In order to explain the mechanism of the new machine, 1) the resistance characteristics of the heating element were explained, 2) the method of electric welding that uses the electrofusion fitting was described, and 3) the method of power supply based on controlling the firing angle was explained. A control system for an intelligent electrofusion welding machine was proposed. This system has the ability to recognize the diameter of an electrofusion fitting using a lookup-table based on the difference of resistance curves according to fitting types, and it is able to weld the fittings regardless of the ambient temperature. A new algorithm was developed to control the power of electric welding through the recognition of feature points from the resistance curve of the heating element. In order to evaluate the performance of the developed welding machine, tests involving the welding of 16 mm- and 20 mm-type fittings were carried out. Examining the welding results, we concluded that the proposed welding machine will offer high productivity and reliability in the field of electrofusion welding.

지하수의 오염을 막기 위하여 음식물의 매립은 법적 제재를 받는다. 따라서 음식물을 퇴비나 사료로 사용할 수 있는 시스템을 갖추는 것이 바람직하다. 이러한 필요에 따라 음식물 쓰레기 처리용 원적외선 가열기를 법랑 및 전열선을 사용하여 설계하였고, 가열의 효과를 돕기 위한 원적외선 발열 교반기도 설계하였다. 또한 물을 많이 포함하고 있는 음식물 쓰레기의 발효에 알맞은 발열체의 온도가 190℃ 부근임과 원적외선 발열체의 인적외선 방사효율을 조사한 결과 흑색의 법랑이 적절함을 확인하였다.

An experimental study was conducted to analyze performance of a heating system with variation of control logic of the system. The system uses a solar as heat source and composed with heat pump that uses R-22 as working fluid. The difference between the developed system and the commercially available heating system is working fluid. The solar assisted heating system which was widely distributed in the market uses water as a working fluid. It could be freezing in case of the temperature drops down under freezing point. The anti-freezing fluids such as methyl-alcohol or ethylene-glycol are mixed with the water to protect the freezing phenomena. However, the system developed in this study uses a refrigerant as a working fluid. It makes the system to run under zero degree temperature conditions. Another difference of the developed system compare with commercial available one is auxiliary heating method. The developed system has removed an auxiliary electric heater that has been used in conventional solar assisted heating system. Instead of the auxiliary electric heater, an air source heat exchanger which generally used as an evaporator of a heat pump was adapted as a backup heating device of the developed system. As results, an efficiency of the developed system is higher than a solar assisted heat pump with auxiliary electric heater. The merit of the developed system is on the performance increment when the system operates at a lower solar energy climate conditions. In case of the developed system operates at a normal condition, COP of the solar collector driven heat pump is higher than the air source heat exchanger driven heat pump's.

Ac, dc and impulse dielectric strengths of $LN_2$ at 0.1MPa were investigated experimentally, referring to the behavior of thermally induced bubble, which might be generated at quenching condition of immerged-cooling superconducting devices. The experimental results show that the bubble shape under electric field stress depends significantly on the applied voltage waveform. With ac voltage, the breakdown voltage of $LN_2$ falls suddenly near to one of the saturated gas at the threshold heater power of boiling onset. In control to this, the reduction of impulse breakdown voltage with heater peter is gradual and the time to breakdown depends on the existence of thermal bubble. These breakdown characteristics can be explained satisfactorily by the bubble behavior under electric fields.

Characteristics of a phase change type micro actuator have been studied. The micro actuator has been designed for a micro-pump in an active direct methanol fuel cell(DMFC), consisting of an actuating chamber, a membrane, an electric heater, and a sensor of resistance temperature detector (RTD). In the present study, researches have been focused on the response of the actuator to control algorithm of the heater. The experiments demonstrated that the displacement of the membrane increase with temperature variation which is a function of applied voltage, duty ratio, and operating frequency of heating. The results also showed that operation of the actuator with high voltage at small duty of heating is more efficient than the same power consumption of heating with low voltage at large duty.

In upcoming Post Stage-V and Tier 5 regulations of construction machineries, nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions are strictly limited in cold start conditions. In response to this, a method of improving NOx conversion efficiency has been applied by installing an electric heating catalyst (EHC) in front of conventional urea-SCR systems so that the evaporation and thermal decomposition of urea-water solution can be promoted in cold start conditions. In this strategy, the evaporation and thermal decomposition of urea-water solution and corresponding NOx conversion efficiency are governed by temperature conditions inside the EHC. Therefore, characterizing the temperature distribution in the EHC under various operating conditions is crucial for the optimized operation and control of the EHC in Urea-SCR systems. In this study, a 1-D modeling analysis was performed to predict the heater surface temperature distribution in EHC under various operating conditions. The reliability of prediction results was verified by comparing them with measurement results obtained using an infrared (IR) camera. Based on 1-D analysis results, the effects of various EHC operation parameters on the heater surface temperature distribution were analyzed and discussed.

Central control air-conditioning systems are being replaced with individually controlled air-conditioning system in the university. The amount of growth of electricity consumption is due to the increasing demand of electric heat pump. In winter and summer, the energy consumption showed a tendency to increase. On the other hand, showed less energy in spring and autumn. Increase the amount of electricity than the degree of decline in gas consumption was higher. Can be considered as transitional phenomena. Because electric heat pump, gas driven heat pump and the absorption chiller-heater are used at the same time in some of the buildings.
