In this study a hybrid heating system based on geothermal source and solar heat was developed in order to save energy for greenhouse heating and its field performance was evaluated. Developed system are composed of following parts: water tank, heat exchanger, heat pump, fan coil unit and heat storage unit. The working performance test was carried out in a greenhouse cultivating oriental orchids being managed by $23^{\circ}C$. Field performance test results showed that average heating coefficient of performance ($COP_h$) was 3.4 for the period from mid-January to mid-March 2013. Heating coefficient of performance ($COP_h$) of developed hybrid heat pump system was more sensitive to water tank temperature than outside air temperature. This study showed that developed hybrid heat pump system has a potential to save the heating costs up to 91% compared to conventional agricultural oil heaters.

Interest in heat pumps is increasing as an eco-friendly and energy-saving heating method. In particular, in order to develop a heat pump capable of heating in a low-temperature area, research to prevent frost on the surface of the outdoor unit is increasing. In other words, when heating through a heat pump in a low-temperature area, a frost layer is formed on the surface of the outdoor unit, which lowers the heat transfer performance, thereby reducing the heating capacity. Therefore, in this study, an adsorption-type dehumidification system is attached to remove the moisture vapor of the air into the outdoor unit of the heat pump. It is believed that this study can suggest the most effective dehumidification method in low temperature regions. In addition, it is expected that a heat pump with high energy efficiency can be developed by attaching an adsorption dehumidifying system to the front of the outdoor unit of the heat pump.

Heating and cooling performance has been analyzed for the water-source heat pump system using raw water from Daechung reservoir. During heating operation from March to May, water temperature is not good condition for a heat source due to the higher atmospheric temperature. Avearged heating load ratio is only 14.3%, and the averaged unit COP and system COP are estimated to be 2.46 and 2.15 respectively. The COP is affected considerably by the water temperature, and the unit COP is increased from 2.16 at $5^{\circ}C$ to 2.95 at $11^{\circ}C$. Cooling performance is analyzed with the measured data from June to August. During cooling operation, raw water has lower temperature by 4. $5^{\circ}C{\sim}4.7^{\circ}C$ than the atmosphere. The load ratio is 39.2%, and the averaged unit COP and system COP are estimated to be 7.25 and 6.13 respectively. The heating COP is affected by the load ratio rather than water temperature. The COP is increased for 20%~40% load ratio, while is decreased for 40%~60% load ratio. It is estimated that the compressor operation combination for 3 (two constant speed and one inverter) compressors is changed for the load ratio.

Our government will make a plan regulating the cooling limit temperature of the summer season to 26 degree and the heating limit temperature of the winter season to 20 degree for energy saving. Where, the key point of this politic pursuit can be the charge system on heating and cooling cost. We have suggested new cost allocation methodology as a worth evaluation method in the precedent study, and preformed the worth evaluation and cost allocation on four kind of warm air produced from a heating system as an example. In this study, we applied the suggested method to four kind of cool air, and preformed the worth evaluation and cost allocation on each cool air. As a result, similarly to the precedent study, the more energy a customer saved, the more cooling unit cost decreased, and the more energy a customer consumed, the more cooling unit cost increased. From this analysis, we hope that the suggested methodology can offer a theoretical basis to the energy charge policy of government, and induce the spontaneous energy saving of consumers.

The low salt seasoned jeotkal, salted and fermented fisheries product, may has some problems, such as short shelf-life, its putrefaction by mixing some microorganism from additives. It was considered that most microorganism in seasoned jeotkal were introduced from red pepper powder. Therefore, it is important to pasteurize red pepper powder for improving its microbial quality. When red pepper powder was pasteurized by ohmic heating, the survival cell concentration in red pepper powder was reduced to 1-log-unit at 500 V/m, 700 V/m, above 8$0^{\circ}C$. But viable cell counts were reduced from 8.5$\times$10$^{6}$ CFU/g to 2.1 $\times$ 10$^2$CFU/g, i.e. 4.6-log-unit, during ohmic heating at 9$0^{\circ}C$ for 40 min. Color values of red pepper powder during ohmic heating with different holding time were not changed significantly. When squid-jeotkal was manufactured by using the pasteurized red pepper powder, viable cell counts of the product were decreased by about three log cycles, compare with control product. And also the counts of fungi were significantly decreased.

The present study has conducted cycle design and control technology of a water source VRF heat pump system. Previously, study of a simultaneous heating and cooling in an air source VRF heat pump system has been conducted. However, performance data and design methods for simultaneous heating and cooling in a water source VRF heat pump system are limited in the literature, due to various system parameters and operating conditions. In this study, the operating characteristics and performances of a simultaneous heating and cooling heat pump system are carried out, in simultaneous operation modes. Control logics of an EEV are developed for flow rate control to the outdoor unit, and are verified. When the control logics are applied, the simultaneous cooling and heating performances are sufficiently achieved, and system COPs are increased by up to 23.4%.

In the present study, the cooling and heating operation characteristics of a multi-heat pump have been experimentally investigated for the number of the indoor units(A, B, C) and the operating conditions. The heat pump was controlled by an inverter scroll compressor. The performance of the heat pump was measured by the multi-calorimeter of an air enthalpy method. Cooling and heating capacities and COPs were obtained at the cooling and heating temperature conditions and the setting temperatures of an indoor unit. With increasing the operation frequency of the compressor, the cooling and heating capacities of the heat pump increased linearly. The operation frequency region of the compressor was different as the combination of the indoor unit and the cooling/ heating condition.
