The tracheostomy directs external air into the airway tract. This process causes mucosal dryness, irritation and inflammation in the tracheo-bronchial tree. In order to prevent such problems, several methods are applied; ointment application, humidification and careful suction etc. The heat-moisture exchanger (HME) is commercially sold device that assists heating and humidification of the inhaled air. The authors experienced successful treatment outcome of intractable tracheitis caused by repetitive and vigorous intra-tracheal suction by applying HME in a total laryngectomized patient. We report an interesting and didactic case with a brief literature review.

In order to characterize the thermal conductivity and viscosity of grout materials used for backfilling ground heat exchangers, nine bentonite grouts and cement grouts being adapted in the United State have been considered in this study. The bentonite grouts indicate that the thermal conductivity and viscosity increase with the content of bentonite or filler (silica sand). In addition, material segregation can be observed when the viscosity of grout is relatively low. The saturated cement grouts appear to possess much higher thermal conductivity than the saturated bentonite grouts, and the reduction of thermal conductivity in the cement grouts after drying specimens is less than the case of the bentonite grouts. Maintaining the moisture content of grouts is a crucial factor in enhancing the efficiency of ground heat exchangers.

The objectives of this paper are to study the effects of thermal and geometric conditions on the performance of indoor heat exchangers with R-410A for Gas Engine Driven Heat Pump (GHP) application and to find the optimum design conditions of indoor heat exchangers by parametric analysis for the key parameters. The key parameters are number of tube row, number of tube pipe, fin pitch and transverse tube pitch. In the air side, moisture out of the humid air condenses on the fin surface while the refrigerant (R-410A) boils inside the smooth tube. Therefore this study uses Log Mean Enthalpy Difference (LMHD) method to analyze the heat transfer from the humid air to the refrigerant. This study determines the heat exchanger size, air side/refrigerant side pressure drop and overall heat transfer coefficient. Optimum design conditions for the key parameters are also determined by the parametric analysis. The results show that number of rows and pipes, fin pitch have significant effect on the heat exchanger size. It is also found that the tube length of the louver fin is $17{\sim}30%$ shorter than that of the plate fin.

To obtain the physical properties of grout materials, that is the thermal conductivity and viscosity, which are used for backfilling ground heat exchangers, nine bentonite grouts and cement grouts being adapted in the United State have been considered in this study. The bentonite grouts show that the thermal conductivity and viscosity increase with the content of bentonite or filler (silica sand). The saturated cement grouts appear to possess much higher thermal conductivity than the saturated bentonite grouts, and the reduction of thermal conductivity in the cement grouts after drying specimens is less than the case of the bentonite grouts. To investigate the performance of cement grouts, fifteen samples were prepared by varying the water/cement ratio and the amount of sand and bentonite added into the cement mortar. Maintaining the moisture content of grouts is a crucial factor in enhancing the efficiency of ground heat exchangers.

In conventional air-conditioning systems, when the circulated air from the air-conditioned space pass through the cooling coil in the air-conditioning system, the air is over-cooled to eliminate the moisture as well as to decrease the temperature. The purpose of this study is to test and evaluate performance of the cooling/reheating system which can save both cooling energy and reheating energy by exchanging heat between the cooled air and reheated air. Experimental apparatus consists of fan, ducts, polymer exchangers, cooling coil, electronic auxiliary heater and data acquisition system. Two types of polymer exchanger, plate type and dimple type, made of polypropylene for cooling/reheating system are designed. Heat transfer and dehumidification characteristics of system are tested. The results show that the energy saving is up to 40% in the range of present experimented conditions, and it decreases with increasing velocity, inlet temperature and specific humidity.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of after-treatment equipment and thermal storage devices for a heat recovery and combustor-type $CO_2$ generator fuelled a kerosene. To reduce the levels of harmful exhaust gases produced by a $CO_2$ generator, a catalyzed particulate filter(CPF) has been selected as an after-treatment device, by considering back pressure and exhaust gas temperature. The CO conversions of the catalyzed SiC filter(full plugging) were 92%, and the concentration of PM(particulate matter) was near ambient. A thermal recovery device was used to recover 13% of the heat energy from the exhaust gas through heat exchangers installed on the exhaust line of the $CO_2$ generator. 69% of the moisture within the exhaust gases was removed by condensing water, in order to minimize excessive humidity within the greenhouse.

지열 냉난방 시스템은 친환경적이며 비고갈성인 지열 에너지를 이용함으로서 에너지 자원이 부족한 우리나라에 유용한 대체 에너지 시스템이다. 본 연구에서는 지중 열교환기의 뒤채움재로 사용되는 그라우트 재료의 열전달 및 점도 특성을 파악하고자, 국내 시공 현장에서 사용 중인 벤토나이트계 그라우트 9종과 충남 보령의 해성점토, 그리고 미국 등 선진국에서 사용 중인 시멘트계 그라우트를 선택하여 열전도도 실험과 점도실험을 수행하였다. 벤토나이트계 그라우트는 벤토나이트의 무게비가 증가 하거나 첨가제(천연규사)의 비율이 증가 할 때 열전도도와 점도가 증가하는 경향이 나타났다. 또한, 첨가제 사용 시 그라우트의 점도가 낮을 경우 그라우트와 첨가제의 재료분리 현상이 나타났다. 해성점토에 대한 실험에서는 해성점토가 벤토나이트에 비해 팽윤성이 낮아 그라우트 재료로는 부적합 하다는 결론을 내렸다. 시멘트계 그라우트의 열전도도 실험에서 습윤 상태의 시멘트계 그라우트가 벤토나이트계 그라우트 보다 높은 열전도도를 가지는 것으로 나타났으며 건조 상태로 변할 때 벤토나이트계에 비해 열전도도 감소폭이 작은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 그라우트의 함수비 유지가 지중 열교환기의 열전달 효율에 중요한 역할을 하는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Thermal conductivity of ground has a great influence on the performance of Ground Heat Exchangers (GHEs). In general, the ground thermal conductivity significantly depends on the density (or porosity) and the moisture content since they are decisive factors that determine the interface area between soil particles which is available for heat transfer. In this study, a large number of thermal conductivity experiments were conducted for soils of varying porosity and moisture content, and a database of thermal properties for the weathered granite soils was set up. Based on the database, a 3D Curved Surface Model and an Artificial Neural Network Model (ANNM) were proposed for estimating the thermal conductivity. The new models were validated by comparing predictions by the models with new thermal conductivity data, which had not been used in developing the models. As for the 3D CSM, the normalized average values of training and test data were 1.079 and 1.061 with variations of 0.158 and 0.148, respectively. The predictions became somewhat unreliable in a low range of thermal conductivity values in considering the distribution pattern. As for the ANNM, the 'Logsig-Tansig' transfer function combination with nine neurons gave the most accurate estimates. The normalized average values of training data and test data were 1.006 and 0.954 with variations of 0.026 and 0.098, respectively. It can be concluded that the ANNM gives much better results than the 3D CSM.
