Liquid atomization by means of a spinning cup is widely used as a device for combustion, in cooling and spray drying. In this study, the blowing type rotary atomizer was experimental carried out the investigations on the characteristics of the blowing type rotary atomizer which is an air flow energy of blower instead of an electric motor most commonly used to a driven energy. The analysis on the rotary cup speed, air velocity with the blower conditions was performed and also the drop size was measured using LDPA. It was tried to analyzed on air-nozzle size and liquid flowrate as the result. It was found that the increase of the relative velocity between liquid and air improve significantly atomization liquid, and decrease of the liquid flowrate improved the maximum drop size though the mean drop size is really the same.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the air tightness of Zero Energy Solar House(ZeSH) and to propose the construction improvement of junctions and penetrations where air infiltration was identified. Air leakage rate were measured by means of blower door test in accordance with ASTM E779-87. The results showed that ZeSH has an excellent airtightness with ACH50/20 (air change per hour at a pressure difference of 50 Pa between inside outside) of 0.34hr-1 and leakage class E by normalized leakage area of ASHRAE.

The blower erosion phenomenon was investigated to develop a long-life blower with a volume flow rate of 10,000 ㎥/min with the required total pressure efficiency of 83% or more. The blower performance and blower erosion were predicted through numerical analysis by computational fluid dynamics(CFD). The conditions used for numerical analysis were an air volume of 16,200 ㎥/min, a rotation speed of 893 rpm, and a temperature of 330℃. The specific gravity, particle size, and amount of the dust was 3.15, 90 ㎛~212 ㎛, and is 265 kg/min, respectively. To examine the effects of a dust deflector on erosion, erosion analysis was performed by comparing the models with and without a dust deflector. Numerical analysis showed that when the dust deflector is installed, the average tended to decrease by 167% in the impeller and 133% in the boss. CFD using the Finne's model for erosion revealed a parallel restitution coefficient of 1 and a perpendicular restitution coefficient of 0.1. The blower performance of case 5 was 691.7 mmAq, and the efficiency was 83.3% when the rotation speed and the air volume flow rate were 880 rpm and 16,200 ㎥/min, respectively.

The design procedure for centrifugal blower with high inlet resistance is not presented yet. Overall fluid dynamic performance is estimated for comparison between the case of atmospheric inlet condition and the present model. Detail information between blades is prepared by using a commercial program, SCRYU-Tetra. A centrifugal blower with large inlet pressure is adopted in an air purifier having filtering devices. As the inlet residence increases the flow rate of the system is decreased. In parallel, outlet area of the system affects the performance of the system in the sense of flow balance. Consequently, the flow balance between the inlet and outlet becomes an important parameter for the design of the scroll casing for the centrifugal blower with high inlet pressure.

The air blowers for fuel cell electric vehicle usually have big difference between inlet and outlet pressure. When the casing of the air blowers is designed, the stress analysis is required. (Approximately Inlet pressure is 0.5bar and outlet pressure is 2bar.) Gap distance between the casing and the impeller is 0.3mm. Therefore, if the amount of maximum deformation of casing is larger than 0.3mm, impeller crashed the casing. In order to avoid crashing, both the thickness and number of rims are changed and carried out simulations on each cases.

The purpose of this study is to investigate an airtightness of typical Korean detached houses with field measurements. Air leakage testings by means of blower door test in accordance with ASTM E79-8 were measured in 22 detached dwellings in Daejeon and Geumsan. The results showed that detached dwellings have an average airtightness with ACH50/20 (air chang per hour at a pressure difference of 50 Pa between inside outside) of 0.82 $hr^{-1}$ which is a higher range than for typical apartments and leakage class G by normalized leakage area of ASHRAE.

Airtightness of buildings is one of critical aspects of its energy performance. To build up references of airtightness of wooden houses built in Korea, blower door tests have been carried out in 42 houses since 2006. Causes of air leakage were investigated recently. The average value of air change rate was $3.7h^{-1}$ for light frame house and $5.5h^{-1}$ for post-beam construction at ACH50 (air change per hour at 50 Pa air pressure difference). Foam type insulation was more advantageous in ensuring building airtightness than glass fiber batt. Airtightness of wooden houses which were constructed after 2010 was improved to have less than $1.5h^{-1}$ of ACH50, threshold for application of artificial air change. The average air change rate of CLT (cross laminated timber) houses showed the lowest value, $1.1h^{-1}$, among the tested structures.

In general, surface mounted PM synchronous motors (SPMSMs) are mainly adopted as a driving motor for high-speed applications, because they have high efficiency and high power density. However, the SPMSMs have some weak points such as the increase of magnetic reluctance and additional losses as a consequence of using a non-magnetic sleeve. Especially, the magneto-motive force (MMF) in the air-gap of the SPMSMs is weakened due to the magnetically increased resistance. For that reason, a large amount of PM is consumed to meet the required MMF. Nevertheless, it cannot help using the sleeve in order to maintain the mechanical integrity of a rotor assembly in high-speed rotation. Thus, in this paper, a multi-layer interior PM synchronous motor (IPMSM) not using the sleeve is presented and designed as an alternative of a SPMSM. Both motors are evaluated by test results based on a variety of characteristics required for an air blower system of a fuel cell electric vehicle.

This paper presents a design and characteristics analysis of novel 2-phase 4/3 switched reluctance motor (SRM) with short flux path for an air-blower application. The desired air-blower is unidirectional application, and requires a wide positive torque region without torque dead-zone. In order to get a wide positive torque region without torque dead-zone during phase commutation, asymmetric inductance characteristic with non-uniform air-gap is considered. The proposed motor could be started at any rotor position with high efficiency drive. The proposed 2-phase 4/3 SRM is verified by finite element method analysis.

The present study has conducted the analysis of flows in a blower with double suction. The air handling system is for supplying air flows into a plant. The present system has a couple of impellers in axial direction for enhanced flow rate. Main interest lies on the improvements of static pressure rise and total efficiency of the system. The present treatment of the reform is to secure a spatial distance between the fan and the casing of the system and change the shape of the cut-off part. The resultant performance after the reform shows increased pressure-rise and efficiency of the system
