The work presented here is a design and an implementation of PID control system to regulate a supply duct outlet air temperature in PEM (Personal Environment Module). In PEM, the air is heated to the required temperature while it flows through the supply duct without any mixing chamber. This makes the control of air temperature in PEM difficult. A simulation is done first to understand the relationship between a temperature distribution in working area, flow rate and the outlet air temperature of PEM. Then a linear dynamic model of heating process in PEM is derived. P, PD and PID type control systems, to provide the rapid response without overshoot and saturation in heater command voltage, are designed using a linear model obtained. Experimentally obtained data shows that the control system satisfies the design criteria and works properly in controlling the supply duct outlet air temperature.

Steady components and unsteady components of second-order velocity and temperature within pulse tube refrigerators were obtained. Second-order solutions were obtained from the first-order solutions of continuity, momentum and energy equations, assuming that the amplitude of the piston motion is small. The axial temperature gradient was considered in the analysis. The flow direction of the streaming was consistent with previous experimental observations. Effects of axial temperature gradient on secondary flow and second-order temperature were shown.

A numerical analysis has been performed for natural convection in an air conditioner duct system. The governing equations were solved a finite volume method using a SIMPLE algorithm. In the calculation mode of duct, the room temperature was preserved at $25.0^{\circ}C$ and duct wall temperature had a temperature of 15, 20.0, 22.5, 23.75, 26.25, 27.5 30 and $35^{\circ}C$. The results of velocity vectors and contours have been represented for various parameters. Based on the numerical data, the relationships between temperature difference and flow rate into room was represented. In the case of $T_\gamma>T_\omega$, the equation for temperature difference and flow rate was $Q=0.0285\triangleT^0.4005$, and in the case of $T_\gamma>T_\omega$, the equation was $Q=0.0099\triangleT^0.4752$. The duct system has an important relation to room temperature and duct wall temperature.

Nowadays, the thermal environments of classrooms are usually adjusted by the ceiling type air-conditioning system with a temperature sensor installed on inlet of an air-conditioner. However, it is not clear that the conventional temperature sensor position is proper to satisfy both thermal comport and energy saving in summer especially. Therefore, this study is aimed at finding out the best position of the temperature sensor on the purpose of the comfort thermal environment and energy saving. The different 5 positions for the temperature sensor are supposed in this paper to analyze thermal environment by CFD. From the analysis through the CFD simulations, the best position of the temperature sensor satisfying for both comfort thermal environment and energy saving is obtained.

The purpose of this research is to study the characteristics of the coefficient of perform-ance (COP) of the small absorption refrigeration system. This experimental study is performed with two selected variables, the temperature of the generator and the input temperature of the cooling water. In order to determine the input temperature of the generator which gives maximum COP, the experimental data are obtained with controlling the temperature of the generator in the range of $20-32^{\circ}C$ of the temperature of the cooling water. The range of the generator heat suppling temperature which gives maximum efficiency is about $90-95^{\circ}C.$ The temperature range depends on the characteristics of the equipment unit. The most important result in this experiment is the trends of the COP in accordance with the variation of these temperatures. This trend will furnish the informations and knowledges for designing and operating the absorption refrigerator.

For the purpose of investigating the effective removal of heating/cooling load from light-weighted building envelope, two air-conditioning systems, conventional parameter air-conditioning system and air-barrier system, are evaluated and compared by both experiment and simulation with six different cases during heating and cooling season. In addition, the characteristics of window-side building thermal load are assessed by varying supply air velocity in order to seek the optimal system operation condition. The results are as follows. 1) Air-barrier system is more effective to remove heating/cooling load at perimeter zone than conventional parameter air-conditioning system. Moreover, the better effectiveness appears during cooling season than during heating season. 2) The experiment during cooling season provides that indoor temperature of air-barrier system shows $1^{\circ}C$ less than that of the conventional system with similar outdoor air temperature profile, and indoor temperature distribution is more uniform throughout the experimented model space. It concludes that air-barrier system can achieve energy saving comparing to the conventional system. 3) The capturing efficiency of air-barrier system is 0.47 on heating season and 0.2 on cooling season with the same supply air volume. It results that the system performs effectively to remove building thermal load, moreover demonstrates high efficiency during cooling season. 4) The simulation results provide that capturing efficiency to evaluate the effective removal of building load from perimeter zone shows high value when supply air velocity is 1 m/s.

This paper analyzed the characteristics of heat transfer in quadangle duct with absorber plate by solar radiation. Effects o( Reynolds number on increasing temperature at outlet for variation of absorber plate temperature were analyzed by using numerical analysis technique. And also the effects of turbulent intensity of inlet flow on increasing temperature at outlet for various duct height and effects of inlet aspect ratio of quadrangle duct and position of heating surface on the outlet temperature were analysed. As the results, Outlet temperature was greatly influenced in low Reynolds number. And the highest outlet temperature distribution appeared on the inlet aspect ratio 2 because of the buoyancy effect.

Freezing of saturated porous media contained in a rectangular cavity has been studied experimentally. Water and different diameter glass beads consitituted the liquid and porous media. Solidification front shape, the effects of bead diameter and initial liquid temperature was investigated. When the hot wall temperature was below $4^{\circ}C$, the freezing rate was higher at the top than at the bottom due to the density inversion, but with increasing the hot wall temperature the freezing rate at the top was effected by the liquid temperature and was lower than at the bottom. With increasing the bead diameter, the difference of freezing rate between top and bottom was increased and depends on thermal conductivity. When the liquid temperature was low in the beginning, the freezing rate was high, but with increasing the time almost the same with those of high temperature liquid.

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.

Performance evaluation for an air conditioning system is conducted at a specified test conditions. One is low temperature and the other is high temperature condition. Most of the manufactures tried to improve the performance at higher outdoor temperature. One of the reasons is that the customer wants to get ore capacity at high temperature climate. To cope with these kinds of demand, manufactures are tried to achieve higher capacity at high temperature with minimum power consumption even with same size of the system. Consequently, previous studies on performance of the air conditioning system are focused on capacity and performance improvement at high outdoor temperature.
