In order to find out whether solar air conditioning system could be applied to building or not, the performance and evaluation on thermal environment of the system suggested was done during summer. A solar model house was constructed to find out the performance and thermal environment evaluation when it actually operated outside. As a result, regeneration rate increased rapidly when LiCl solution temperature was over $50^{\circ}C$ and the regeneration rate was $13\sim15kg$ during 9 hours operation. Furthermore the dehumidification rate was 12kg at maximum during 10 hours operating of a dehumidifier and indoor temperature and relative humidity was $28.4^{\circ}C$ and 39.1% in average respectively. On evaluation of thermal environment during summer, PMV value was slightly high, but thermal sensation vote was 71% within the comfort zone.

A mathematical model was developed and programmed for computer simulation of a prototype hot water boiler system with rice hull furnace to predict the temperature distributions in the rice hull furnace and water tank, mass flow rate of hot water and thermal efficiency of the system under various operation and design conditions. The effects of feed rate of rice hull, thickness of the furnace wall, the type of heat exchanger, diameter of the water circulation pipe, etc, on the performance of the system can be evaluated with this model. The validity and simulation results of this model will be published in the next paper.

The ASME strainers have been newly installed at the suction side of each reactor coolant pump to get rid of the foreign materials which may damage the pump impeller or interfere with the coolant path of fuel flow tube or primary plate type heat exchanger. The strainer was designed in accordance with ASME SEC. III, DIV. 1, Class 3 and the structural integrity was verified by seismic analysis. The screen was designed in accordance with the effective void area from the result of flow analysis for T-type strainer. After installation of the strainer, it was confirmed through the field test that the flow characteristics of primary cooling system were not adversely affected. The pressure loss coefficient was calculated by Darcy equation using the pressure difference through each strainer and the flow rate measured during the strainer performance test. And these are useful data to predict flow variations by the pressure difference.

Detection of gas leak from a tube is a very important issue in the quality control of machines such as the heat exchanger of an air-conditioner, because leakage of operating gas directly reduces the performance of machines. The acoustic emission (AE) method is a common way to detect leak of gas, however its application under the environment of mechanical vibration is restricted since most AE detectors are very sensitive to external vibration noise. In order to overcome this problem, we propose a method based on the mode analysis of the Lamb wave. In this method, the dominant Lamb mode and its frequency are found first, and then a proper band-pass filter is used to retain only this frequency component. In this way, we could improve the SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) of AE signal generated by gas leak from the tube even under vibratory environment.

본 연구에서는 공조용 실외기의 고효율화 및 소형화를 위해 응축기로 사용되고 있는 핀-관 열교환기를 동일한 전면면적의 PF 열교환기로 변경하여 성능변화 및 특성을 조사하였다. 이를 위해 3종의 PF 열교환기를 적용하여 공조기의 성능을 비교평가 하였다. 실험은 공기 엔탈피식 칼로리미터에서 공조기의 냉방능력과 소비전력을 측정하여 COP를 계산하였다. PF 열교환기를 적용한 경우에 핀-관 열교환기보다 냉방능력은 증가하고 소비전력은 감소하여 COP가 향상되었다. PF 열교환기의 핀 피치가 클수록 냉방능력과 COP는 감소하였다.

대부분의 산업분야에서 사용되는 공업로는 연소 시 $1000^{\circ}C$이상의 고온 배기가스가 배출되고 있기 때문에, 이들 배기가스로부터 폐열을 회수하여 에너지를 절감하고자 열교환기를 사용하고 있다. 하지만 현재 사용되고 있는 금속 소재의 열교환기의 경우 사용온도가 $800^{\circ}C$로 제한되어 있으며, 산화, 부식, creep등의 문제가 대두되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 세라믹 소재의 열교환기를 제작하여 열전달율, 공기누설율등을 평가하는 성능실험을 하였다. 실험방법은 연소시작 후 정상상태에 도달하기까지의 경향을 알아보고 공기유량과 가스유량에 변화를 주었을 때, 열전달율과 공기누설율등을 평가하고 이론적인 데이터와 비교하였다. 실험 결과, $1300^{\circ}C$이상의 환경에서도 정상적으로 작동하였으며, 외부환경조건을 고려하였을 때, 이론적인 데이터와 근접한 데이터를 얻을 수 있었다. 그러나 대류열전달에 의한 열손실과 공기누설등이 문제점으로 지적되었다. 향후 연구에서는 대류열전달에 의한 열손실을 고려한 연구와 효과적인 씰링으로 누설을 줄일 수 있는 실험장치를 개발할 필요가 있다.

Experiments were performed to verify if performance and characteristic curves obtained from the temperature differential defrosting method, where surface temperature is measured to judge defrosting condition, can be reproduced by the photoelectric technology where defrosting condition is judged by photoelectric sensors. The output voltage of a phototransistor and heating capacity, power consumption, and surface temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger are compared. The results showed that the photoelectric sensors can be used as a defrost control device. On-off control timings in temperature differential defrosting method are in good agreement with those predicted by the high and low threshold output voltages of the photoelectric sensor.

For an analysis of the horizontal-type geothermal heat exchanger system, an understanding of the ground temperature distributions is required in order to predict system performance. Because it is difficult to decide on the underground temperature due to the adjustment of its temperature cycle, numerous calculations are required in order to decide on the temperature cycle. In this paper, Buggs formula is utilized to decide a phase shift for outdoor temperature and ground surface temperature, which are obtained from Korea Meteorological Administration. Overall, the underground temperature distribution in the Changwon region is predicted as $10.5^{\circ}C{\sim}20.3^{\circ}C$ at a depth of 3 m.

A 1 MV A single phase high temperature superconducting (HTS) transformer was manufactured. In order to reduce AC loss generated in the HTS winding, winding was concentrically arranged. Operation temperature is set at 65K to increase the critical current and reduce the amount of HTS tape usage and the volume. The cryogenic system which consists of main cryostat with the windings and secondary cryostat with 2 GM coolers and cryopump on top and heat exchanger inside is also designed and the cooling performance is simulated with Fluent. Temperature distribution of the windings is investigated whether the windings are kept under designed operation temperature.
