The operational cost for maintaining the superconductivity of high-temperature superconducting (HTS) cables needs to be reduced for feasible operation. It depends on factors such as AC loss and heat transfer from the outside. Effective operation requires design optimization and suitable operational conditions. Generally, it is known that critical currents increase and AC losses decrease as the operational temperature of liquid nitrogen ($LN_2$) is lowered. However, the cryo-cooler consumes more power to lower the temperature. To determine the effective operational temperature of the HTS cable while considering the critical current and AC loss, critical currents of the HTS cable conductor were measured under various temperature conditions using sub-cooled $LN_2$ by Stirling cryo-cooler. Next, AC losses were measured under the same conditions and their variations were analyzed. We used the results to select suitable operating conditions while considering the cryo-cooler's power consumption. We then recommended the effective operating temperature for the HTS cable system installed in an actual power grid in KEPCO's 154/22.9 kV transformer substation.

In this study we investigated the gas to solid heat transfer of bubbling fluidized bed bottom ash cooler installed at the Donghae power plant in South Korea. Several different analyses are done through 1-D calculations and 3-D CFD simulation to predict the bottom ash exit temperatures when it exits the ash cooler. Three different cases are set up to have consideration of unburnt carbon in the bottom ash. Sensible heat comparison and heat transfer calculation between the fluidization air and the bottom ash are conducted and 3-D CFD analysis is done on three cases. We have obtained the results that the bottom ash with unburnt carbon is exiting the ash cooler, exceeding the targeted temperature from both 1-D calculation and 3-D CFD simulation.

최근 공작기계 분야에서 가공속도와 가공정밀도 같은 시스템 성능이 한층 요구되고 있다. 특히 가공속도가 증가함에 따라 공작기계와 수가공 분야의 공작물 가공 부위에 유해한 열 발생을 초래하게 된다. 이 열은 가공 정밀도를 저하시키는 주된 원인으로 작용한다. 따라서 온도를 제어하는 오일쿨러는 공작기계에서 필수적이다. 일반적으로 두 가지 대표적인 제어기법인 핫가스 바이패스 방식과 압축기 가변속 제어 방식이 오일쿨러에 채택 되었다. 본 논문에서는 오일 출구 온도를 설정값으로 유지하기 위해 압축기의 속도를 제어하였다. 공작기계의 정밀 가공이 요구되는 추세에 맞추어 ${\pm}0.1^{\circ}C$의 고정도 온도 제어가 가능한 오일쿨러가 요구된다. 그러나 정밀 온도제어가 가능한 오일쿨러는 가격이 고가이다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 on/off(릴레이) 제어방식 대신에 PID 제어기와 위상각 전력제어 방식을 사용하여 정밀 온도제어가 가능한 오일쿨러용 제어기를 제안한다. 제안한 제어기를 제작하고, $23^{\circ}C$, $24^{\circ}C$ 그리고 $25^{\circ}C$에서 실험하였다.

In this paper, we propose an efficient image equipment implementation for the detector characteristics of various detectors by analyzing un-cooled thermal detector that exhibits nonlinear changes due to external temperature effects. First, we explain Thermal Electric Cooler for un-cooled detector temperature control system and Non-image correction methode for IR system. Second, we present the results of a study on an efficient control technique that can minimize the deterioration of image quality by controlling a un-cooled thermal detector without a thermal electric cooler(TEC) inside. Third, we suggest Image Correction Methods for Uncooled IR TECless Detector with Non-linear characteristics due to Temperature Change. So, we analyze and present the results of Image correction methods for various un-cooled thermal detector.

냉동냉장창고 내 열부하 감소를 위한 유압 구동식 냉각기의 특성을 실험적으로 평가한 결과 고내 온도강하에 있어서 초기에는 급격하게 이루어지고, 설정온도가 낮아질수록 온도 강하율은 적게 나타났다. 기존 전기 구동식과 비교한 결과 유압식이 더 빠른 온도 강하율과 냉동기 운전시간이 짧게 나타나 실제냉동창고의 경우, 입고 물품의 품질저하 방지 및 전력 절감에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다. 그리고 고내 설정온도가 낮을수록 소비동력은 급격히 증가하였고, 유압식이 더 적은 동력을 소비하는 것으로 나타났으며, 두 방식 모두 설정온도에 도달함에 따라 성능계수는 지속적으로 저하하였고, 유압식이 최대 25%정도 높게 나타났다. 고내 온도유지에 있어서는 설정온도가 낮을수록 냉동기의 운전 횟수가 적고, 운전시간이 길어 소비동력이 많아지는 것으로 나타났으며, 유압식이 약 21~25%정도 적게 나타났다.

The three-dimensional numerical analysis has been carried out to figure out the effect of the thermoelectric element thickness on the thermal performance of the thermo-electric micro-cooler. The small-size and column-type thermoelectric cooler is considered. It is known that tellurium compounds currently have the highest cooling performance around the room temperature. Thus, in the present study, $Bi_{2}Te_{3}$ and $Sb_{2}Te_{3}$ are selected as the n- and p-type thermoelectric materials, respectively. The thermoelectric leg considered is less than $20{\mu}m$ thick. The thickness of the leg may affect the thermal and electrical transport through the interfaces between the leg and metal conductors. The effect of the thermoelectric element thickness on the thermal performance of the cooler has been investigated with parameters such as the temperature difference, the current, and the cooling power.

In this paper, in-situ heat cooling with temperature monitoring is reported to solve thermal issues in electric vehicle (EV) batteries. The device consists of a thick graphene cooler on top of the substrate and a platinum-based resistive temperature sensor with an embedded heater above the graphene. The graphene layer is synthesized by using chemical vapor deposition directly on the Ni layer above the Si substrate. The proposed thick graphene heat cooler does not use transfer technology, which involves many process steps and does not provide a high yield. This method also reduces the mechanical damage of the graphene and uses only one photomask. Using this structure, temperature detection and cooling are conducted simultaneously using one device. The temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) of a $1{\times}1mm^2$ temperature sensor on 1-$\grave{i}m$-thick graphene is $1.573{\times}10^3ppm/^{\circ}C$. The heat source cools down $7.3^{\circ}C$ from $54.4^{\circ}C$ to $47.1^{\circ}C$.

In the hydrogen refueling station (HRS), it is need the pre-cooling system (PCS) to limit the inside temperature ($85^{\circ}C$) of the onboard thank (700 bar) and to charge the hydrogen at short time (within 3 minutes) to fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV). From those safety reasons, the temperature of hydrogen gas must be controled $-33^{\circ}C$ to $-40^{\circ}C$ in PCS. The cooling test of the gaseous ($N_2$, He, $H_2$) was carried out using heat exchanger (pre-cooler) by indirect cooling and direct cooling method. It was confirmed that the temperature of hydrogen gas had below $-40^{\circ}C$ at below $-75^{\circ}C$ of chiller temperature in direct cooling.

본 연구에서는 수평형 열전 냉각 소자의 열전 냉각 성능 극대화를 위해 모사 해석을 수행하였다. ANSYS Workbench의 Thermal-Electric 프로그램을 활용한 모사 해석을 진행하였으며 해당 프로그램은 열전 효과에 초점이 맞춰 있어 보다 정확하고 효과적인 모사 해석이 가능하다. 수평형 열전 냉각 소자는 n-type의 $Bi_2Te_3$와 p-type의 $Sb_2Te_3$ 및 Au 금속 전극으로 가정하였으며, Joule 발열이 소자 중앙 하부에서 발생되는 것으로 가정하였다. 모사 해석을 통해 최대 $13^{\circ}C$의 냉각 효과를 확인하였으며, 이런 기하학적인 변수들로부터 냉각 성능을 최적화 할 수 있는 디자인을 제시하였다.

In this study, a $CO_2$ air-conditioning system was investigated with different types of electrically driven compressors, parallel flow type gas cooler, four-pass type evaporator, internal heat exchanger integrated with accumulator, and electric expansion valve. The experimental study was conducted under various operating conditions (ie., different rotational compressor speeds, air inlet temperatures and air velocity coming into heat exchangers). The experimental results showed the cooling capacity was 3.5kW at $35^{\circ}C$ ambient temperature when the vehicle was idle (ie., the worst condition for cooling off the gas cooler). In terms of performance effect of the compressor, the e-RP model had a slightly better cooling capacity and coefficient of performance than the e-GR model under the same test conditions. An experimental equation for optimum cooling-performance control was also suggested based on the results. A high-pressure control algorithm for the super critical cycle was determined to achieve both maximum cooling performance and efficient energy consumption. The results from the experimental equation coincided with those of previous experimental studies.
