Roses are one of the most produced flower species in the world, and cut roses are produced in the greenhouses all year round. Recently, due to the increase in the temperature in the greenhouses in summer, the quality of cut roses is seriously deteriorated, such as shortening the stem length. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of the growing seasons on the qualities of cut roses and also to test the effect of cooling at night in high temperature season on the cut flower qualities of roses. Comparing the qualities and yields of cut roses for each season, the major cut flower qualities such as flower stem length, stem diameter and fresh weight were statistically significantly decreased in roses (‘Pink Beauty’ and ‘Pink Shine’) produced in summer. The yields didn’t show a statistically significant difference in both cultivars. Investigating the cut flower qualities, the flower stem length increased by 15% for ‘Pink Beauty’, 11% for ‘Ararat’, and 12% for ‘Pink Shine’ when treated with cooling at night in warm season than the untreated control. In addition, when treated with cooling at night in warm season, the fresh weight of all three cultivars increased by 20-30% statistically significantly than conventionally cultivated control. It is expected that cooling at night in warm season will be helpful to improve the cut flower quality deterioration in summer.

In order to develop greenhouse cooling and water saving technologies suitable for desert climate, the performance evaluation of the cooling packages and condensate water recovery from cooling fan coil unit. As a result of the application for tomato greenhouse in summer, the root zone temperature of root zone cooling+duct cooling case and root zone cooling case was 25℃ during the day and 20℃ at night, which was suitable for tomato growth. When the nutrient solution tank was cooled, the temperature of the nutrient solution was maintained at 20 degrees, but otherwise, the temperature exceeded 30℃, causing the root zone temperature to rise. Condensate water recovery per fan coil unit was 93L on average per day in August, and was proportional to relative humidity in greenhouse and temperature difference between dew point temperature and the surface temperature of heat exchanger. Tomato growth was found to be improved in the order of root zone cooling+duct cooling, root zone cooling, duct cooling and control. It was analyzed that the yield of root zone cooling+duct cooling, root zone cooling and duct cooling increased by 35%, 28% and 11%, respectively, compared to the control.

In the present study, the experimental study was conducted using a multi-calorie meter, to investigate the cooling performance and cycle operation changes of the multi-heat pump (3 indoor units) for the low outside temperature in summer. The test temperature condition was the low cooling temperature, and the normal performance and dynamic behavior of 3 rooms, 2 rooms, and 1 room were measured to understand the operating characteristics of seven 7 indoor unit combinations. As a result of the experiment, the cooling capacity and COP of the multi-heat pump at low cooling temperature were about 10% and 6% higher than those of the cooling standard temperature. In addition, the dynamic behavior of the indoor units of 3 and 2 rooms was observed differently due to the load difference according to the indoor unit combinations and the non-uniformity of the refrigerant amount. And, when starting the heat pump, the compressor had a maximum peak value and stabilized by repeating the decrease and increase for each indoor unit combination.

Test of the operating characteristics and energy saving performance of a container cooling system that reduces the operating energy of a refrigeration system using a loop thermosyphon heat exchanger that removes heat by temperature difference between outdoor and indoor was performed. As a result of the experiments, when the loop thermosyphon and the refrigeration system were operated simultaneously, the refrigeration system operated intermittently by reducing the heat load. As the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor increased, the operating time of the refrigeration system decreased and the energy efficiency rate increased. Energy efficiency rate showed a tendency to increase with increasing temperature difference, and the predicted correlation of energy efficiency rate using the performance of the loop thermosyphon heat exchanger and the refrigeration system was relatively consistent with the experimental value.

In the present study, to investigate the cooling characteristics of the multi-heat pump with 3 indoor units, 7 indoor unit combinations and 3 setting temperatures are selected to study the cooling characteristics during steady-state operation. The cooling capacity, power consumption, COP, compressor high and low pressure of the heat pump are tested under the cooling standard temperature conditions using an air enthalpy multi-calorimeter. The experimental results show that, except for an operation with an indoor unit capacity of 30% or less, the cooling capacity, power consumption, and compressor operation frequency increase as the capacity of the indoor unit increases and the setting temperature of the indoor unit decreases. COP increases or decreases according to the compressor frequency, and is the best at 50-80% capacity of the indoor unit. As the compressor frequency increases, the compressor outlet pressure increases by about 30%.

본 연구는 근권부 냉방이 토마토 육묘 시 묘 생육에 미치는 영향을 구명하고자 수행되었다. 생장상 하부 파이프 냉방을 이용하여 근권부 온도를 20°C와 25°C로 설정하여 실험을 수 행하였다. 전 생육기간동안 초장, 근장, 엽수는 두 온도 처리구 간 차이를 보이지 않았다. 엽면적, 지상부와 지하부의 생체중 및 건물중, 엽록소 함량은 파종 28일 경과 시 25°C 처리구가 더 높았으며, 실험 종료 시 두 처리구 간 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 이상의 결과로 근권부 온도 20°C와 25°C에서 토마토 생육 차이를 확인하지 못했다. 따라서, 본 연구는 고온기 토마 토 묘 생산 시 온실 냉방 효율을 높이기 위한 국부 냉방 기술 확 립에 도움을 줄 수 있을 것이다.

In order to experimentally investigate the operation characteristics of the multi-heat pump with 3 indoor units, the dynamic characteristics of the cooling cycle is studied using the psychrometric multi-calorimeter. The compressor of the heat pump is the scroll inverter type, and since 3 indoor units operate cooling at the same time, it is operated at 100% full load. In particular, 3 types of indoor unit temperatures (20, 24, 26°C) are selected to understand the operation process of the multi-heat pump by the setting temperature. From this experiment, the compressor controls the EEV opening for each indoor unit while varying the frequency according to the initial start, transient, and steady operation. In addition, as the setting temperature increases in the steady range, the frequency of the compressor and the average opening degree of the EEV decrease.

The new & renewable energy including solar heat has been widely used to reduce the fossil fuel. Air-heating collector of solar heat is usually known as technology that supplies the hot air to indoor room. However, this study aims to investigate the possibility of cold room by air-heating collector of solar heat. The thermal flow in cold room was simulated using ANSYS-CFX program and thus the behaviors of cold air were evaluated with standard k-ε turbulence model. As the results, there was space in indoor room not showing cooling effect in case that both inlet and outlet were installing at bottom. Inlet temperature showed greater cooling effect than inlet velocity. Furthermore it was confirmed that the location and the temperature, respectively, capable of cooling indoor room could be predicted by changing the attached position of inlet and outlet.

본 연구에서는 하절기 토마토 재배 시 주간 포그 냉방, 야간 히트펌프 냉방을 처리를 하여 냉방 처리가 온실 내 온습도, 작물의 생육 및 수확량에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 하절기 주간에 차광 처리한 대조구 온실의 평균 온습도는 32.1°C, 59.4%였고, 포그 처리한 시험구 온실의 평균 온도는 30.0°C, 74.3%로 나타났다. 이 때 외부의 평균 온습도는 31.4°C, 57.7%로 대조구 온실의 온도는 외기보다 0.7°C 높았으나 시험구 온실의 온도는 외기보다 1.4°C, 대조구보다 2.1°C 낮게 나타났다. 평균 습도는 시험구 온실 74.3%, 대조구 온실 59.4%로 포그 처리를 한 시험구에서 높게 나타났다. 야간 대조구 온실의 평균 온습도는 25.2°C, 85.1%였고, 히트펌프로 냉방을 한 시험구 온실의 평균 온습도는 23.4°C, 82.4%, 로 나타났다. 야간 외부의 평균 온습도는 24.4°C, 88.2%로 대조구 온실의 온도는 외기보다 0.8°C 높았으나 시험구 온실의 온도는 외기보다 1.0°C, 대조구보다 1.8°C 낮게 나타났다. 평균 습도는 시험구 온실 82.4%, 대조구 온실 85.1%로 나타나 시험구 온실의 습도가 더 낮게 나타났다. 작물 생육은 정식하고 8주 후에는 두 온실 간의 큰 차이는 없는 것으로 나타났으나 냉방 처리 후에는 시험구 온실의 작물이 대조구에 비해 경경, 초장, SPAD 값이 높게 나타났다. 토마토의 수확량은 냉방을 시작하고 2주 후까지 총 생산량의 차이는 1.2%로 큰 차이 없었으나 3주 후와 4주 후의 일 생산량이 시험구에서 대조구보다 많게 나타났다. 최종적으로는 시험구의 수확량이 81.3kg, 대조구의 수확량이 73.8kg으로 시험구가 대조구에 비해 10.2% 많게 나타남으로써 하절기 주간 포그 냉방, 야간 히트펌프 냉방이 작물 성장에 적합한 환경을 조성해 줌으로써 생육 및 생산성에 영향을 미친 것으로 판단된다. 냉방 처리에 따른 경제성을 비교해보면 대조구 온실에서는 142,166원의 수익이 있었던 반면 시험구 온실에서는 28,727원의 손해가 발생하여 냉방 처리는 경제성이 떨어지는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 재식 밀도, 히트펌프 운용 시간 및 기간을 조절하여 에너지 사용은 줄이면서 생산성을 증가시킨다면 경제성도 확보할 수 있을 것으로 기대되며 이에 대한 추가 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단 된다.

This study was conducted to provide a basis for raising farm income by increasing the yield and extending the cultivation period by creating an environment where crops can be cultivated normally during high temperatures in summer. The maximum cooling load of the multi-span greenhouse with a floor area of 504 m2 was found to be 462,609 W, and keeping the greenhouse under 32°C without shading the greenhouse at a high temperature, it was necessary to fog spray 471.6 L of water per hour. The automatic fog cooling control device was developed to effectively control the fog device, the flow fan, and the light blocking device constituting the fog cooling system. The fog cooling system showed that the temperature of the greenhouse could be lowered by 6°C than the outside temperature. The relative humidity of the fog-cooled greenhouse was 40-80% during the day, about 20% higher than that of the control greenhouse, and this increase in relative humidity contributed to the growth of cucumbers. The relative humidity of the fog cooling greenhouse during the day was 40-80%, which was about 20% higher than that of the control greenhouse, and this increase in relative humidity contributed to the growth of cucumbers. The yield of cucumbers in the fog-cooled greenhouse was 1.8 times higher in the single-span greenhouse and two times higher in the multi-span greenhouse compared to the control greenhouse.

In this study, the cooling and heating amount, temperature, flow rate of turbine type heat meter for water source heat-pump system were experimentally investigated at the standard operating conditions. The obtained cooling and heating capacity from the heat meter were deviated within 5.0%, 3.8% comparing with the precise values calculated from an accredited test facility. Even though the accumulated cooling and heating amount values of the heat meter had a small difference comparing with the precise values, the temperatures of heat meter showed greatly different values comparing with the precise temperature. Therefore, it is highly recommended to develop the heat meter which is appropriate for the water source heat pump systems.

Experiments of local cooling and heating on crown and root zone of forcing cultivation of strawberry ‘Seolhyang’ using heat pump and root pruning before planting were conducted. During the daytime, the crown surface temperature of the crown local cooling treatment was maintained at 18 ~ 22oC. This is suitable for flower differentiation, while those of control and root zone local cooling treatment were above 30oC. Budding rate of first flower clusters and initial yields were in the order of crown local cooling, root zone local cooling and control in root pruning plantlet and non pruning plantlet, except for purchase plantlet. Those of root pruning plantlet were higher than those of non pruning plantlet. These trends were evident in the yield of the first flower cluster until February 14, 2018, and the effect of local cooling and root pruning decreased from March 9, 2018. The budding rates of the second flower cluster according to the local cooling and root pruning treatments were not noticeable compared to first flower cluster but showed the same tendency as that of first flower cluster. In the heating experiment, root zone local heating(root zone 20oC+inside greenhouse 5oC) and crown local heating(crown 20oC+inside greenhouse 5oC) saved 59% and 65% of heating fuel, respectively, compared to control(inside greenhouse 9oC). Considering the electric power consumption according to the heat pump operation, the heating costs were reduced by 55% and 61%, respectively.

In this study, we have investigated the optimal control method and the energy saving possibility when the dimming control for lighting and the suspended particles display(SPD) glass for window were applied to reduce the lighting load and the cooling load in office buildings. Simulations were carried out during from 8:00 am to 7:00 pm of typical one day on summer, winter and intermediate season. Simulation results showed that the cooling and lighting energy usage was reduced to 21.2% compared to the baseline model. Therefore, it was possible to predict the optimum control method of the suspended particles display(SPD) window to control the transmittance for energy saving and the dimming control for lighting during summer season.

Cooling operation characteristics of multi-A/C(air conditioner)s were experimentally investigated for combination of indoor units (A+B, A+C, B+C) and operating conditions (standard, overload, low temperature and low temperature freezing). The operating data and performance of the air conditioner were measured using a multi-calorimeter. We also observed compressor frequency and pressure variations. From the experimental results, it was found that the cooling performance and the operating characteristics depend on operation combination of indoor units, in the case of 2 room simultaneous operation. In the four types of cooling tests, the cooling capacity and COP of the 3 room simultaneous operation and 2 room simultaneous operation were similar. Through this experimental study, data on the simultaneous operation characteristics of 2 room simultaneous operation according to the changes of indoor and outdoor temperature of four kinds were obtained.

The cooling operating characteristics of the 3 room air conditioner are experimentally investigated for the number of the indoor units (A, B, C) and the operating conditions (standard, overload) under the cooling operation. The cooling capacity and COP were calculated using a multi-type calorimeter. Also, EEV opening, compressor frequency, and superheat degree were obtained when the compressor started. From the experimental results, we can see that the performance and operation characteristics of the air conditioner depend on the indoor unit operation method. In case of simultaneous and single operation, the cooling overload performance was measured lower than the standard condition. Also, in the overload operation, the power consumption of the compressor was greatly increased and the COP was also decreased.

간척지 온실의 환경설계 기술 개발을 위한 기초자료 제공을 목적으로, 첨단 시설원예단지 설치 계획이 있는 국내 7개 대규모 간척지 주변의 기후조건을 분석하였으며, 새만금 간척지 내에 설치된 3연동 플라스틱 온실을 대상으로 하절기에 시설 내외의 열적 환경계측 실험을 통하여 자연환기 및 온도 상승 특성을 분석하고, 간척지 온실의 환경 설계에 적용해야 할 부분을 검토하였다. 작물의 유무에 따른 온실의 환기율을 비교한 결과, 작물이 있으면 온실의 환기율은 낮아지지만 작물의 증발산에 의해 실내기온 상승은 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 작물이 있는 경우 온실의 환기회수는 대체로 0.3~0.9회/min의 범위에 있었고, 평균 0.7 회/min으로 나타났다. 실외기온 대비 실내기온 상승은 1~5oC정도의 범위에 있었고, 평균 2.5oC로 나타났다. 간척지에 설치된 실험온실의 자연환기 성능은 여름철 권장 환기율을 거의 만족시키고, 실외기온 대비 실내기온 상승도 작물재배 환경을 크게 벗어나지 않으므로 새만금 간척지에서는 냉방설비 없이 자연환기 만으로 온실의 작물 재배가 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 간척지는 해안에 위치하고 있어 내륙지역에 비하여 바람이 강하고, 안개가 자주 끼는 특성을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같이 강한 풍속은 온실의 환기율을 증가시키므로 냉방부하의 감소요인으로 작용하게 될 것으로 판단된다. 또한 안개지속시간이 내륙지역에 비하여 현저하게 길기 때문에 기간냉방부하는 감소할 것으로 예상되며 이는 냉방 설비의 운전경비 측면에서 유리할 것으로 판단된다. 또한 간척지 온실의 환기 및 냉방시스템 설계 시에는 주변의 기상관측소 자료를 그대로 이용하지 말고, 온실 설치 지역에서 실측한 기상자료 또는 현장 여건을 반영하여 보정된 기상자료를 사용하여 설계하도록 할 필요가 있다.
