빙축열 시스템과 같은 열교환 시스템을 이용하여 심야의 전력 경부하 시 주간에 이용할 냉방부하를 축열하였다가 주간에 공급함으로써 전력의 평준화와 전력 설비의 효율적 운용을 기할 수 있어 전력의 안정적인 수급과 에너지의 효율을 극대화할 수 있다. 하지만 빙축열 시스템의 제어 운전을 전적으로 운전자의 경험에 의존하는 경우에 충분한 냉방 부하를 공급하기 위한 잉여축열에너지가 비경제적으로 많아져서 빙축열 시스템의 경제성이 저하되고 사용 효과가 낮아지는 문제점이 많이 발생되고 있다. 경제적인 활용 효과를 고려하여 빙축열 시스템을 효율적으로 운용하기 위해서는 냉방부하량이 기후 특성에 의해 결정되므로 기후를 정확하게 예측하고 이를 토대로 다음날의 시간별 냉방부하를 예측하여 적정한 축열량을 결정하여야 하는 어려움이 따른다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 연구에서는 신경망을 이용하여 기상 데이터를 토대로 다음날의 온도와 습도를 예측하고 예측된 온도와 습도 및 냉방부하 실적 자료를 기반으로 신경망을 이용하여 시간별 냉방부하를 예측하는 알고리즘을 제시하였다. 제안된 냉방 부하예측 알고리즘에 의해 구축된 한국전력공사 속초생활연수원의 부하예측모델을 이용하여 온도, 습도, 냉방부하를 예측한 결과 기존 방법에 의한 것보다 우수한 예측 성능을 보였다.

During the day time in summer, peak of air conditing load, and electric power management system lies under overloaded condition. The reason is the enlarged peak load value of electric power caused by increased air-cooling load in summer. To prevent load concentration during day time and overloaded condition of power management system, some energy storage methods are suggested. One of these methods is ice storage system. Water has some good properties as P.C.M.(Phase Chang Material) : Its melting point is the range of required operation temperature. It has large specific latent heat and is chemically stable compared to other organic or inorganic substances. It is cheap and easy to treat. This study represents experimental results of heat transfer characteristics of P.C.M. under the outward melting process in a vertical cylinder. We experimented with twelve combinations of conditions, i.e., three different inlet temperatures($7^{\circ}C,\;4^{\circ}C\;and\;1^{\circ}C$), two working fluid directions(upward and downward), and two aspect ratios, H/R(4 and 2). At the inlet temperature of $7^{\circ}C$ and $4^{\circ}C$, there was temperature stagnation region where the temperature of P.C.M. remains constant at $4^{\circ}C$ regardless of aspect ratio and direction of working fluid. This temperature stagnation occurs as the water, at its maximum density, flows down to the lower region. The phase change interface formed bell-shaped curve as the melting process continued. With a new set of conditions(4H/R, inlet temperature $4^{\circ}C$ and $1^{\circ}C$, downward/upwerd inlet direction), the movement of phase change interface was faster when the working flued inlet direction was downward. With the same set of conditions, melting rate and total melting energy were larger when the working fluid inlet direction was downward. The results were reversed when the other sets of conditions were applied.

Cold air or ice water are used to chill poultry carcasses after slaughter. In order to compare the microbial reduction effect of two different chilling systems in poultry carcasses, Pre-and post-chilled carcass samples were tested for contamination agents such as aerobic bacteria counts, E. coli counts and Salmonella spp. counts. Water chilling system showed higher reduction ratio of bacteria than air chilling system during the three seasons. Also, aging of slaughter facility was related with bacterial contamination of pre-chilld carcasses. And additional volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) test were conducted in poultry packing meats and it increased steadily during 15 days. VBN at 8~9 days were over 13 mg% with putrid smell. Poultry packing meats by water chilling system were fresher than air chilling system during early storage time. But those decayed faster after 9 days.

A microbial cryoprotectant formulation using a W/O/W multiple emulsion system was developed. The psychrotolerant microorganism, B4, isolated from soil in South Korea, was observed by the drop freezing method, in which the microorganism sample inhibited ice nucleation activity. The antifreeze activity was eliminated when the microorganism sample was treated with protease, indicating that the antifreeze activity was due to the presence of antifreeze protein. The result of the l6S rDNA sequencing indicated the B4 strain was most closely related to a species of the genus Bacillus. Culture broth of B4 strain (Bacillus sp.) and rapeseed oil containing 1 % polyglycerine polyricinolate (PGPR) were used as core and wall material, respectively. The most stable W/O emulsion was prepared at a core/oil ratio of 1:2. The highest W/O/W emulsion stability was achieved when the primary emulsion to external aqueous phase containing 0.5% caster oil polyoxyethylene ether $(COG25^{TM})$ ratio was 1:1. Microcrystalline cellulose showed better W/O/W emulsion stability than other polymer types. The viability of cells in a W/O/W emulsion was higher than free cells during storage at $37^\circ{C}$. An acidic pH and UV exposure decreased the viability of free cells, but cells in W/O/W emulsion were more stable under these conditions.

This study aims to analyze the performance of Heated-nonslip using renewable energy to prevent nonslip freezing during winter. For this purpose, power generation system and congratulatory devices using solar energy are designed, and it is designed to provide regular electricity to heat up nonslip through Electrical storage system(ESS). In this study, It is intended to analyze the level of electrical energy suitable for nonslip using 24V or 48V, and to measure the temperature changes and temperature distribution according to the location of the test object. As a result of the experiment, nonslip's frame temperature was measured at $-7.5{\sim}-5^{\circ}C$ on average, and $-1{\sim}-2^{\circ}C$ on the heating cable during the supply of 24V and this could not be the solution for defrosting freezing nonslip in the winter. As a result of heating nonslip by supplying 48V with an electrical power of 8W, the temperature of the nonslip was shown to be between $5^{\circ}C$ and $11^{\circ}C$ to $13^{\circ}C$. Even if the power supply was switched on and off every minute, the temperature did not drop below $4^{\circ}C$ and the frozen ice melted on the nonslip without freezing.

The ice storage system uses water for low temperature latent heat storage. However, a refrigerator capacity are increased and COP are decreased due to supercooling of water in the course of phase change from liquid to solid. This study investigates the cooling characteristics of the TMA-water clathrate compound including TMA (Tri-methyl-amine, $(CH_3)_3N$) of 20~25 wt% as a low temperature latent heat storage material. The results showed that the phase change temperature are increased and the supercooling degree and the specific heat are decreased according to the weight concentration of TMA increased. Especially, the clathrate compound containing TMA 25wt% has the average phase change temperature of $5.8^{\circ}C$ and the supercooling degree of $8.0^{\circ}C$, retention time of liquid phase for 651sec and specific heat of 3.499 kJ/kgK in the cooling process. This expressed good than different concentration of TMA cooling characteristic. Like this, to apply TMA 25wt%-water clathrate compound is determined by advantageous as the low temperature latent heat storage material.
