The purpose of this study is to develop a snow melting system using the pulsating heat pipe(PHP). The experimental apparatus is consisted of a PHP, a concrete structure, a constant water thermostatic bath and a flowmeter. The experiment was performed at the outdoor air temperature of $-8^{\circ}C$ and inlet temperature of hot water of $75^{\circ}C$. PHP is the closed and non-loop type heat exchanger which is charging R-410A as an operating fluid. As experimental results, the temperature profile of vertical and horizontal orientation of concrete structure was measured with operating time. The heat flux of the snow melting was required more than 300 $W/m^2$. We confirmed that the snow melting system using the PHP was useful for anti-freezing road.

A sliding accident on the road have a high percentage by road freezing, especially, it is often appeared at bridges and tunnel of freezing areas. Thus, the stability of road operations is enhanced by preventing a partial freezing phenomenon. According to the geothermal snow melting system analysis, a pattern of thermal conductivity is found out about pavement materials of concrete and asphalt when it is buried. For the feasibility study on geothermal snow melting system, analysis of the ground melting point when operating system, life evaluation of pavements and safety evaluation of pipes are performed.

This study proposes a hybrid geothermal system combined with heating mode and snow-melting mode for winter season in order to increase the annual operating efficiency of the GSHP(Ground Source Heat Pump). The purpose of this study is to get effectiveness of the hybrid geothermal system by the site experiments. In case of snow-melting only mode, the GSHP COP is 0.7 higher than system COP in average. And in case of hybrid mode, heating GSHP COP is 0.5 higher than snow-melting GSHP COP. And it is also found out that all COP obtained through measurement periods is higher than nominal COPs given by GSHP manufacturer. As a conclusion, it is clear that the proposed hybrid geothermal system is expected as a highly efficient system.

Thermosyphons are simple devices that can passively transport thermal energy over relatively long distance with little temperature degradation. These attributes permit the use of low grade thermal energy for thermal control of structures including the snow melting and deicing to the pavement surface. The thermosyphon system requires no costly energy input and Is completely maintenance free. This paper presents the experimental results of the snow melting system in which thermosyphon was utilized to transfer the geothermal energy to the pavement to obviate slipping traffic accidents due to freezing of pavement in winter.

The snow melting system by electric heating wires which is adopted in this study is a part of road facilities to keep surface temperature of the road higher than freezing point of water for melting the snow accumulated on it. The system is designed to increase traffic safety and capacity. The electric heating wires are buried under paved road at a certain depth and operated automatically and manually. Design theory, amount of heating, and installation standard vary according to economic situation, weather condition, and installation place where the system applies. It is tried to figure out that the appropriate range of required heat capacity and installation depth and intervals for solving snowdrifts and freezing problems with the minimum electric power consumption. The most important factors to design the system are calculation of heating capacity depending on weather condition and depth and interval of the electric heating wires depending on air condition respectively. The study were performed under the range of the air temperatures($-2^{\circ}C,\;-5^{\circ}C,\;-8^{\circ}C$), the intervals of the electric heating wires(70mm, 100mm, 125mm), and the installation depths(50mm, 70mm, 100mm). The ready made commercial program package was used to verify the experimental results.

Because of the climate changes and the development of building technologies, the cooling loads have been increased. Among the various renewable energies, geothermal energy is known as very useful and stable energy for heating and cooling of building. This study proposes a road snow-melting system of which heat is supplied from GSHP(Ground source heat pump) in viewpoint of the initial investment and annual running performance, which is also operating as a main facility of heating and cooling for common spaces. The results of this study is as followings. From the site measurement, it is found out that the road surface temperature above the geothermal heating pipe rose up to $5^{\circ}C$, which is the design temperature of road snow-melting, after 2 hours' operation and average COP(Coefficient of performance) was estimated as 3.5. The reliability of CFD has confirmed, because the temperature difference between results of CFD analysis and site measurement is only ${\pm}0.4^{\circ}C$ and the trend of temperature variation is quite similar. CFD analysis on the effect of pavement materials clearly show that more than 2 hours is needed for snow-melting, if the road is paved by ascon or concrete. But the road paved by brick is not reached to $5^{\circ}C$ at all. To evaluate the feasibility of snow-melting system operated by a geothermal circulation which has not GSHP, the surface temperature of concrete-paved road rise up to $0^{\circ}C$ after 2 hour and 40 minutes, and it does never increase to $5^{\circ}C$. And the roads paved by ascon and brick is maintained as below $0^{\circ}C$ after 12 hours geothermal circulation.

고체상의 눈 또는 얼음의 안정동위원소 값은 과거의 기후를 복원하고 동위원소 수문분리의 단성분으로 기여율을 계산하는 데에 사용되어 왔다. 융해와 냉동이 일어나면서 눈 또는 얼음과 액체상의 물 사이의 동위원소 분별작용이 일어나는데, 융해는 상대적으로 현장, 실험 및 모델연구를 통해 연구결과가 제시되어 있지만, 냉동에 대해서는 알려진 것이 많지 않다. 본 논평에서는 평형 냉동이 발생할 때 물의 두 안정동위원소인 산소, 수소의 선형관계 및 레일리분별과정을 통해 냉동에 의한 동위원소 분별과정을 고찰하였다. 해양에서 증발한 수증기에 의해 응축된 눈은 기울기 8을 가지는 지구천수선을 따라 움직이지만, 냉동 및 융해가 발생하게 되면 기울기 19.5/3.1~6.3을 가지는 선형관계를 나타내게 된다. 평형냉동 동안 레일리분별과정에 의해 액체상인 물은 열린 계와 닫힌계에서 같은 동위원소변동을 보여 주었다. 눈 또는 얼음이 제거되는 열린 계에서는 남아있는 물의 안정동위원소와 분별계수만큼의 차이를 가지면서 높은 값을 나타내었다. 닫힌 계에서는 초기 액체상의 물의 동위원소 값으로 눈 또는 얼음은 수렴하였다. 냉동에 의한 눈 또는 얼음의 동위원소변동과정은 고기후 연구 및 수문분리의 정확도를 증가시킬 것으로 기대된다.

해외 선진국에서는 2000년 자연재해대책법 개정을 통해 차도 중심의 융설시스템에서 인권위주의 보행자 전용시스템으로 확대 적용하고 있으나, 국내에는 2006년 선진국형 융설시스템이 도입되어 도로 부문에 일부 시공 되었지만 보행자를 위한 융설시스템 개발 및 적용 사례는 전무한 편이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 열선의 열이 보도블록 상부로 효율적으로 전달되도록 함으로써 지반으로 손실되는 열을 최소화하고 충격에 따른 열선의 손상 방지 및 공정을 단순화하여 원가 및 공정을 절감할 수 있는 블록형 보도포장 기술을 개발하고 이를 현장 적용하였다. 품질시험 결과 휨강도는 KS기준보다 약 5배, 흡수율은 7배~10배의 성능이 향상된 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 현장 시험결과 기존 융설시스템은 노면의 온도가 영상으로 올라가는데 약 180분이 소요되었으나 블록형 보도포장 기술은 약 10분 정도 소요되었으며 30분 경과 후 노면 평균 온도는 $3.5^{\circ}C$를 유지하였다. 이처럼 조립식 보도블록 기술개발을 통해 겨울철 보행자 낙상방지를 통한 국민안전확보 및 화학제설제 사용 억제를 통한 환경오염 방지에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
