This study was carried out to investigate the presence of L. pneumophila in indoor air and water collected from 692 air conditioning cooling towers at different public facilities. For these 4 years (2001～2004) of investigation, water samples were collected in high air conditioner operating month (from July to September) at department stores, hotels, offices, hospitals, discount stores, and public agencies. It was found that L. pneumophila was present in water samples from 47 air conditioning cooling towers. The detection rate of L. pneumophila was 7.6% in 2001, 10.7% in 2002, and 9.5% in 2003, respectively. When we compared the 4 air conditioner operating months, the highest rate of L. pneumophila detection was obtained in the water samples of July. The detection rate of L. pneumophila differed among different facilities. The highest detection rate of 17.9% was found in samples from department stores. L. pneumophila was detected similarly in water samples from hospitals (8.3%) and offices (8.2%). pH, temperature, and turbidity in the 47 L. pneumophila positive water samples ranged from pH 7 to 9, from 25℃ to 38℃, and from 1.0 to 3.5, respectively.

대한해협과 동중국해에서 1985년과 1986년에 관측한 수온, 염분자료를 사용하여 수괴를 분석하였다. 대한해협과 동중국해 수심 50m에서의 수괴 분포 특성은, 겨울과 봄철에는 쿠로시오 해수(수괴 K) 및 쿠로시오계 혼합수(수괴I), 여름과 가을철에는 대륙 연안수의 영향을 많이 받은 혼합수(수괴 I∼IV)의 수괴분포가 넓게 나타났다. 겨울과 봄에 수심 loom의 동중국해는 주로 쿠로시오 해수(수괴 K) 및 쿠로시오계 혼합수(수괴 I)가 넓게 분포하고 있었다. 여름에는 혼합수(수괴 I∼III)가 널리 나타나 연중 여름에 가장 혼합이 많이 된 수괴가 분포하고 있는 것이 특징이었다. 가을에는 쿠로시오계 혼합수(수괴 I)가 주요 수괴였다. 대한해협에서는 겨울과 봄에는 쿠로시오 해수(수괴 K), 여름과 가을에는 혼합수(수괴 I∼IV)가 주로 분포하고 있었다. 겨울과 봄철에 대기로부터의 냉각에 의한 보정을 하면,쿠로시오 해수(수괴 K)의 분포해역이 줄어든 대신에 쿠로시오계 혼합수(수괴 I)의 분포 해역이 늘어났다. 즉, 동중국해와 대한해협에서 겨울과 봄에 주로 쿠로시오 해수(수괴 K)가 분포하는 것처럼 보이지만,실제는 약간 변질된 쿠로시오계 혼합수(수괴 I)가 넓게 분포하고 있는 것이다. 계절별 해황특성으로 여름철에 표층 저밀도수의 분포가 대한해협과 오끼나와 쪽으로 향하는 두 갈래 혀 모양의 형태를 나타내고 있었다. 이것은 중국대륙 연안수와 혼합된 저밀도 표층수의 흐름이 대한해협과 동중국해 동남쪽으로 향하고 있는 것으로 사료된다.

극심한 고온으로 인해 정상적인 작물의 재배가 어려운 여름철의 온실 내 기온을 억제시키기 위한 방법 중 가장 효율을 인정받고 있는 증발냉각법은 실내 습도의 증가로 인해 그 사용에 제한을 받게 된다. 본 연구에서는 온실에서 증발냉각법의 냉방효율을 높이기 위한 방법으로 냉수파이프를 설치하여, 그 열적 특성을 분석하고, 제습효과를 조사하였으며, 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 동파이프와 아연도금스틸파이프의 총열전달량을 비교한 결과, 동파이프가 다소 크게 나타났으나, 유의성이 없었으며, 두 가지 파이프 모두 이론값 보다 실측값이 더 작게 나타났다. 냉수파이프 표면에 응축되어 제거된 수증기의 양은 동파이프와 아연도금스틸파이프 사이에서 큰 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 두 가지 파이프 모두에서 제습효과는 충분히 큰 것으로 나타났다. 냉수파이프를 설치함으로써 증발냉각시스템의 냉방효율을 평균 48%만큼 높일수 있으며, 평균 1.3℃만큼의 실내기온을 추가로 냉각시킬 수 있는 것으로 예측되었다. 또한, 냉수파이프를 이용해 증발냉각시스템의 가동으로 인한 실내의 과습문제를 해결하기 위해서는 파이프표면의 응축된 수분을 효과적으로 제거할 수 있는 장치나 방법에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

The purpose of this study is analyzing the performance of sea water cooling system under various refrigerant pipe length. In sea water cooling system, the increase of refrigerant pipe length cause increases of pressure drops. These pressure drops cause fresh gas in liquid pipe and increase specific volume in gas pipe outlet, so sea water cooling system capacity is decreased by decrease of refrigerant mass flow rate. Sea water cooling system capacity in refrigerant pipe length 70m is decreased more than 30% when compared with pipe length 10m and the decrease of the coefficient of performance is nearly 20%.

Experimental and theoretical analyses were carried out to investigate the heat exchange characteristics of the nutrient solution cooling system utilizing ground water. The material of heat exchanger used in the experiment was polyethylene and the cross-flow type was adapted in which nutrient solution was mixed and ground water unmixed. For the exchanger surface area of 0.33m2 and flow rates of ground water of 1-6l/min, NTU(number of transfer units) and effectiveness of experimental heat exchanger were 0.1-0.45 and 10-35％, respectively. Therefore these results showed that the hydroponic greenhouse of 1,000m2(300 pyong) with the ground water of 10m2/day could cover about 55-70％ of maximum cooling load in summer.

As the Photovoltaic system market increases, various technologies are emerging to improve system operation efficiency. Such additional systems of the power generation system are generally referred to as ‘Balance of System’, for example a panel cooling, a panel cleaning and a panel angle adjusting apparatus. In this paper, we discuss an algorithm to calculate the target temperature of cooling in response to changes in the installation environment conditions of the power generation system so that the efficiency improvement rate target set by the user can be achieved with respect to the control method of the cooling water injection system among various panel cooling apparatuses. In order to calculate the target temperature of cooling, the output enhancement coefficient is calculated experimentally based on the temperature change according to the solar radiation condition of the PV panel, and the required reduction temperature of each irradiation condition is calculated considering the efficiency improvement rate. In addition, the efficiency improvement ratio is calculated considering the installation condition of the general power generation system without a separate control group. The thermal performance coefficient of the PV panel test body for calculating the expected temperature of the PV panel is calculated experimentally. The target temperature of cooling is calculated as the sum of the expected temperature of the PV panel and the required reduction temperature, and the injection system that tracks the target temperature by cooling water injection is constructed and compared with the power generation improvement rate and the user setting efficiency improvement rate.

This research was done to clarify the cooling effect of water particles generated from a fountain. This effect is a one way to control the heat island effect of big cities. The result of this research was drawn by setting the jets of water in a certain height, and then studying the diffusion of water particles, which is affected by the size of the particles and the wind speed, and the cooling effect caused by the diffusion. 1) When a diameter of a water drop was 500 ㎛ and the wind speed was 2.0 to 6.0 m/sec, the water drop diffused 75 to 190m, and the water vapor spread over 175 to 440 m. As a result, there was more than 0.5℃ of cooling effect on the temperature in the atmosphere 130 to 330m around the water fountain. 2) When a diameter of a water drop was 750 ㎛ and the wind speed was 2.0 to 6.0 m/sec, the water drop diffused 65 to 150 m, and the water vapor spread over 160 to 405 m. Moreover, there was more than 0.5℃ of cooling effect on the temperature in the atmosphere 110 to 275 m around the water fountain. 3) After studying on the relationship between the diameter of water drop and the wind speed, and the diffusion of water particles and the range of the atmosphere that was cooled, a result could be drawn from the research that the smaller the diameter of the water vapor gets and the faster the wind speed becomes, the wider the water particles diffuse and the cooler the atmosphere around the fountain becomes. 4) This research further extrapolates that when the ordinary water(tap water, water from river and stream) is used in a fountain, the cooling effect of the air near the fountain can be approached similarly. If the seawater is used in a fountain, there is to be more to concern not only on cooling effect on the air, but also on other effects on surrounding environment generated by the salt in seawater.

This study was investigated to control the corrosion and scale at the cooling water system in steel works. Laboratory and field tests were performed for the indirect cooling water system of plate mill. Throughout the experiment, various factors such as leakage of pipes, heating rate and capacity, and the reaction between existing and substitute inhibitors were carefully monitored. The results showed that the harmful effect of high temperature could be minimized, and satisfactory corrosion/scale controls were effectively achieved using inhibitor, even at the increased temperature of 80℃. The batch and field tests in the gas scrubbing cooling water system of blast furnace and cooling water system of corex plant indicated that the new inhibitor was more effective for the prevention of corrosion and scale than the existing one.

This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of water quality of cooling tower on Legionella pneumophila disinfection using Ru/Ti electrode. The influences of parameters such as pH, turbidity, CaCO₃ and TOC were investigated using laboratory scale batch reactor. Oxidants such as free Cl, ClO₂, H₂O₂ and O₃ were measured. The results showed that all of the water quality parameters of cooling tower had deteriorated disinfection of Legionella pneumophila. When the turbidity, CaCO₃ and TOC was increased, oxidants which was generated during electrolysis was decreased. pH, free Cl, ClO₂ and H₂O₂ concentration were decreased with the increase of pH, whereas O₃ concentration was increased with the increase of pH. The order of effect of water quality on the disinfection performance for Legionella pneumophila was turbidity > CaCO₃ > TOC > pH. To obtain the safety standard (1000 CFU/L), the simultaneous increase current and NaCl dosage was needed.
