This study was conducted to obtain basic data which affected engine performance of the power tiller being widely used in the rural area. Among the various factors being influenced engine performance, factors of radiator, of capacity of cooling water, and of efficiency of cooling fan were considered as the major factors in this study. Because diesel engine being used to power tiller are scarce of cooling water, it is over-heated in time of rated power. Therefore, a experiment was performed to determine the capacity of cooling water of engine with circuit system of cooling water adhered.

The transmission current in a power cable is determined under the condition of separate pipe cooling. To this end, the thermal analysis is conducted with the standard condition of separate pipe cooling system, which constitutes one of the underground power transmission system. The changes of transmission current in a power cable with respect to the variation of temperatures and flow rates of inlet cooling water as well as the cooling spans are also determined. As a consequnce, the corresponding transmission current is shown to vary within allowable limit, resulting in the linear variation of the current for most of the cable routes. The abrupt changes of current, however, for the given flow rate of inlet cooling water in some cooling span lead to the adverse effects on the smooth current transmission within the underground power transmission system. In practice, it is expected that the desinging of the separate pipe cooling system in conjunction with the evaluation of system capacity should take into account the effects of design condition on the inlet cooling flow rate.

There is a chilled ceiling panel which carries out the air conditioning by radiation and convection between the room and cold ceiling panel surface. In order to verify heat transfer characteristics between them in cooling system with radiant chilled ceiling panel, analytical and experimental studies were performed for various design and operating parameters such as tube space and diameter, inlet water temperature, mass flow rate, cooling load, and so on. In this study, we found that the tube space and inlet water temperature were more important elements than the tube diameter and water flow rate for the performance of radiant chilled ceiling panel. The cooling capacity of the radiant chilled ceiling panel had the maximum value of $65W/m^{2}$ because the highest cooling capacity was limited by the condensation on the panel surface. The results of comparison between numerical analysis and experiment showed a resonable agreement qualitatively, especially for low cooling capacity.

The performance of a heat pump using river water as a heat source was compared with that of a conventional air-conditioner for cooling and a boiler system for heating. The heat pump system using river water considered the 1-stage cycle for cooling and the 2-stage cycle for heating. The COPs of the river water source heat pump were $0.5{\sim}1.1$ higher than those of the conventional system in the cooling season. The LCC of the river water source heat pump system was lower 13.5% and 32.4% than that of the conventional system I and II. In addition, when the initial cost ratios of the river water source heat pump system to the conventional system I and II were less than 1.2 and 1.4, respectively, an acceptable payback was found to be less than 5 years.

The experiment of thermal performance about closed-wet cooling tower was conducted in this study. A closed cooling tower is a device similar to a general cooling tower, but with cooling tower replaced by a heat exchanger. The test section for this experiment has the process that the cooling water flows from the top of the heat exchanger to the bottom side in the inner part of the tube, and spray water flows in the gravitational direction in the outer side. Air comes in direct contact with the spray water at the outer side of the tube while passing from the lower the upper part having a counterflow to the spray water. The heat transfer pipe used in this experiment is a bare-type tube having an outer diameter of 15.88mm. The heat exchanger is consisted of seven rows and fifteen columns. In this experiment, thermal performance of the cooling tower is derived from overall heat transfer coefficients between the process fluid and sprayed water and volumetric overall mass transfer coefficient between sprayed water and air.

As one of the forced cooling method of the underground power transmission system, external water cooled system with trough in tunnel was investigated. This study is performed on thermal analysis for a standard condition to determine the cable transmission current of the underground power transmission system about the cooling facility. A parametric study was performed for the inlet water temperatures, flow rates, the inlet air velocities, flow rates and the cooling spans. This study shows that the cable transmission current varies within the allowable limitation in compliance with the variation of inlet water temperatures and flow rates. It exhibits little variations for the most intervals in compliance with the variation of inlet air temperatures and flows. But, the cable transmission current fast reduces for a specified interval and consequently affects the underground transmission system. As a result, when the actual forced cooling system is designed, the design conditions of inlet air have to be considered as the most important parameters in determination of the cable transmission current.

Recently in order to protect the ocean environment and to reduce energy consumption, shipbuilders have been developing highly economized ships. This research analyzed the possibility of adopting the onshore absorption refrigerator to offshore ships having a cooling system with refrigerant by using the waiste heat of the engine jacket cooling water instead of compression refrigerators. The results showed that R236fa could be a suitable medium for absorbing the heat of the absorber and condenser in an absorption refrigerator. The cooling system using R236fa achieved a high COP of 0.798, which is 15% and 5% higher than an air cooling system with a cooling tower and a water cooling system with a heat exchanger, respectively. The cooling system with R236fa achieved high efficiency with a 25% reduction in flow rate of LiBr solution and only 15.7% flow rate of cooling medium as compared to the water cooling system. The heating of sea water by the engine jacket water flowing out from the generator can prevent the crystallization of LiBr solution due to the low temperature of sea water.

A heat pump system is a highly efficient, eco-friendly device which consumes a small amount of energy and supply a lot of energy for heat formation. In addition, it is a single device system that has low generation effect about carbon dioxide. There are many researches related to the electronic expansion valve and the heat pump, but the detailed data analysis of each influence is insufficient. In this study, the cooling capacity and COP of the heat pump system were investigated by varying frequency of the inverter connected to compressor, inlet temperature of chilled water into evaporator and inlet temperature of cooling water into condenser. The results are as follows : (1) The cooling capacity increased as the inverter frequency, inlet temperature of chilled water into evaporator increased, and inlet temperature of cooling water into condenser decreased. (2) The COP increased as the frequency of inverter, inlet temperature of cooling water into condenser decreased and the inlet temperature of chilled water into evaporator increased.
