펠티에 소자는 전자부품이나 장비에서 발생하는 열을 냉각하기 위한 방법으로 많이 사용되고, 히트싱크는 이러한 열을 외부로 방출하기 위한 방법으로 많이 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 내부터널의 형상을 가지는 히트싱크에 대한 냉각 및 히팅성능을 자연대류와 강제대류 상태에서 열전달 특성에 대하여 고찰하였다. 또한, 시간에 따른 히트싱크의 열전달 특성 및 온도분포의 변화에 따른 실험을 수행하였고, 자연대류와 강제대류에 따른 히트싱크의 열전달 특성, 온도분포의 변화를 실험을 통해 비교 연구 하였다. 냉각 실험에서 A형상 및 B형상 냉각 핀 히트싱크는 자연대류보다는 강제대류에서 온도가 더 감소하는 것을 알 수가 있었고, 강제대류와 자연대류에서 A, B형상 모두 $-15^{\circ}C$까지 떨어지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 전압이 증가 할수록 강제대류와 자연대류 상태에서 A, B형상 냉각 핀 히트싱크 모두 온도가 감소하였다. 히팅실험에서 A형상 및 B형상 냉각 핀 히트싱크는 자연대류보다는 강제대류에서 온도가 더 증가하는 것을 알 수가 있었고, 강제대류와 자연대류에서 전압이 13V일 때, A형상 냉각 핀 히트싱크는 전압이 $150^{\circ}C$, 강제대류에서 B형상 냉각 핀 히트싱크는 $145^{\circ}C$까지 증가하였다. 전압이 증가할수록 강제대류와 자연대류 상태에서 A, B형상 냉각 핀 히트싱크 모두 온도가 증가하였다.

This paper presents development of an special metal hydride(SMH) actuator system using a peltier module. The newly developed simple SMH actuator, consisting of the plated hydrogen-absorbing alloy as a power source, Peltier elements as a heat source and a cylinder with metal bellows as a functioning part, has been developed. The SMH actuator is characterized by its small size, low weight, noiseless operation and a compliance similar to that of human body. A new SMH actuator that uses reversible reactions between the heat energy and mechanical energy of a hydrogen absorbing alloy. It is well known that hydrogen-absorbing alloys can reversibly absorb and desorb a large amount of hydrogen, more than about 1000 times of their own volume. To improve the thermal conductivity of the hydrogen-absorbing alloy, an electro-less copper plating has been carried out. For this purpose, the effects of the electro-less copper plating and the dynamic characteristics of the SMH actuator have been studied. The hydrogen equilibrium pressure increases and hydrogen is desorbed by heating the hydrogen-absorbing alloys, whereas by cooling the alloys, the hydrogen equilibrium pressure decreases and hydrogen is absorbed. The SMH actuator has the characteristic of being light and easy to use. Therefore, it is suitable for medical and rehabilitation applications.

The SMH actuator is characterized by its small size, low weight, noiseless operation, and compliance similar to that of the human body. The simple SMH actuator, consisting of the plated hydrogen-absorbing alloys as a power source, Peltier elements as a heat source, and a cylinder with metal bellows as a functioning part has been developed. To improve the thermal conductivity of the hydrogen-absorbing alloy, an assembly of copper pipes has been used. It is well known that hydrogen-absorbing alloys can reversibly absorb and desorb a large amount of hydrogen, more than about 1000 times of their own volume. The hydrogen equilibrium pressure increases when hydrogen is desorbed by heating of the hydrogen-absorbing alloys, whereas by cooling the alloys, the hydrogen equilibrium pressure decreases and hydrogen is absorbed. The new special metal hydride (SMH) actuator uses the reversible reaction between the heat energy and mechanical energy of a hydrogen absorbing alloys. The desirable characteristics of SMH actuator, which makes it suitable for the uses in medical and rehabilitation applications, have been also studied. For this purpose, the characteristics of the new SMH actuator for different temperature, pressure, and external load were explored.

This study was performed to develop a dryer for home clothes using thermoelectric module. The thermoelectric module was used as a heat source and a dehumidification device because it has heating part and cooling part at once. To design for maximizing the energy efficiency and the rate of dehumidification, the parameters of the dryer using thermoelectric module are heat capacity and air flow rate. This study showed that the thermoelectric module can be used in the clothes dryer and energy efficiency of clothes dryer be better than that of electric heating dryer.

In this study, develop the thermal pump using water evaporation and condensation. Vapor from heating room moves up to pumping room and press the water of pumping room. Consequently water is pumped out to water tank. Then hot vapor direct contact with cold water in condensing room after pumping process. At this time, pressure of condensing room is down to-5kPa and suck in water of tank. This pump executes self ping and good durability because of no mechanical moving parts. Thermal pump is pumped cyclic so that, this pump is not used single. Therefore thermal pump of hot water boiler used to multi-stage for stable pumping rate. As the result of performance test, the developed thermal pump proves pumping action of water evaporation/condensation. And total volume flow rate is 500liter during one hour. If three thermal pump is installed parallel, this pump can use to the hot water boiler in the 300,000kcal/h class.

플라스틱 제품의 휨을 개선하기 위한 방법은 사출성형 공정에서 일어나는 불균일한 냉각을 균일하게 만들어 플라스틱 제품의 잔류응력을 제거하는 방법이다. 본 연구는 균일한 냉각을 위하여 펠티에 소자를 사용하여 급속가열 냉각 장치를 개발하였다. 급속냉각 가열 장치(RCHD)를 제작하여 전통적인 수냉 장치(TWCD)방식과 급속냉각 가열 장치방식에 따른 휨을 비교 분석하였고, 비결정성 수지인 ABS 수지를 사용하였다. 사출성형 조건인 보압시간, 금형온도, 냉각시간, 보압에 따라 휨의 변화량을 측정 비교하였고, 비결정성 ABS 수지에서 급속가열 냉각 장치 냉각방식이 전통적인 수냉방식 보다 휨이 더 적게 발생하고, 위의 결과들로 보아 조금 더 균일하게 냉각되는 것을 알 수 있었다. ABS 폴리머의 분포 상태를 SEM 사진을 통해서 확인하였다. 전통적인 수냉방식은 폴리머의 분포상태가 조밀하게 분포되어 있고, 급속냉각 가열 방식은 전통적인 수냉방식 보다 넓게 분포되어 있었다. 이것은 냉각이 균일하게 이루어지고, 금형의 온도가 서서히 진행되면서 폴리머의 입자가 커지게 되는데, 이것은 내부응력이 줄어든 것을 의미한다.

Micromanufacturing is a useful system for reducing energy consumption. For micromanufacturing, tool clamping and workpiece clamping are important components to realize the machining process. Therefore, a shape memory alloy (SMA) ring type tool holder is developed. In addition, this holder needs cooling and heating processes to execute the tool clamping process. This study suggests a cooling/heating device based on peltier elements. The device will be applied to the heating/cooling process of an automatic tool changer (ATC) for the SMA tool holder. This study introduces the configuration and operating principle of the proposed ATC system. The description and prototype evaluation of this system were given. Plastic bolt and aluminum block were selected to enhance the cooling performance, and the installed tool was changed in 17 s during the experiments.

Preterm children require a controlled environment that is as close as possible to that inside the womb. Incubators are well equipped to fulfill this requirement; however, they are cumbersome and expensive, thereby restricting their portability and availability in less developed and rural areas. This research comprises the development and system validation of a portable incubator. The system consists of a collapsible baby enclosure that can be stowed inside the system base when not in use. The enclosure is made from acrylic such that it is easy to clean and allows unhindered visual observation of the occupant while being robust enough to withstand transit conditions. The system can be powered either by a mains supply or a 12-VDC automobile power supply. Additionally, it has an onboard battery to ensure a continuous supply during transit. A Peltier plate controlled using a microcontroller ensures the desired enclosure temperature irrespective of the ambient temperature. Built-in sensor probes can measure the skin temperature, pulse rate, blood oxygenation level, and ECG of the infant and display them on the system screen. The system function is validated by testing its peak power consumption and the heating and cooling performances of the environment control system.
