In this paper, as there are many cases of fires occurring due to the failure or inoperability of the thermostat of electronic products, the purpose is to test and analyze the risks and probabilities through fire cases and reproduction experiments, and suggest countermeasures. Among electronic products, water purifiers are composed of a refrigerant system with a compressor to make cold water, a heating device to make hot water, and an electric device used as an energy source. Due to the nature of the water purifier manufacturing, these devices are subject to a lot of moisture and dust. etc. exist in large quantities and use electrical energy, so there is a possibility of fire due to short circuit in the wire, electrical abnormal overheating (tracking phenomenon) in the thermostat, electronic board, starting relay, etc., and overheating of the heating device (Band Heater). there is. Therefore, in order to prevent fires from these devices, a system to remove foreign substances inside the water purifier is necessary, the use of heat-resistant (fire-resistant) wires for electrical devices is essential, and the use of non-combustible materials (semi-combustible materials) for each part is necessary to prevent fire. The risk must be eliminated through prevention and combustion expansion prevention devices.

In this study, we performed thermal safety design of the electric module of a heat-loaded equipment with consideration of its heat dissipation performance. Initially, we calculated the heat dissipation of natural convection to choose a cooling method. Based on this, we found that some modules required forced convection and selected an air-cooling method with an outdoor temperature of 43 degrees Celsius, which is the maximum temperature in Korea. Prior to module production, we performed thermal analysis of each module and proceeded with a design to increase the thermal conductivity of the module as a primary step, and subsequently proceeded with Heat Sink design to maximize the heat dissipation performance. After considering various constraints according to the system requirements and designing the cooling path, we experimentally and analytically secured thermal safety at the operating temperature of the equipment.

Electro-accel pedal is needed to raise fuel efficiency by controlled pedal angle signal regardless driver’s willings to fast start or stop pedaling, and to reduce muscle fatigue by designed Ergonomic structure. For this purpose, in this study, we designed new mechanism of accel pedal in a double linkage with two springs to minimize the force of pedaling on main pedal period for HECV in close the future. We have achieved the simulation to dynamic characteristics and experimented to measure the pedal force with proto sample, and confirmed the potentialities this new mechanism.

This paper is on developing the advanced method in diagnosis electronic control of gasoline and LPG engine. The experimental methods using oscilloscope were employed to measure waveform of hot wire, hot film, oxygen, ignition coil and injector. Through these analysis, emission reduction and fuel economy improvement were expected by depict vehicles. The experiment was carried out during no-load condition. A summary of the important results are as follows. 1. The factors affecting the secondary ignition waveform from the primary ignition waveform were reverse surge voltage and induced voltage . Actually shape of primary ignition waveform was normal, but a secondary ignition waveform was measured badly. 2. The area of the voltage-time diagram of secondary ignition waveform means the value of the effective discharge of energy. This value is negative, the fuel economy could be predicted badly and is positive, good value of fuel economy could be predicted. 3. Inspection and maintenance of DLI ignition vehicles compared to DIS ignition vehicles were essential. The secondary ignition waveform of the C type vehicle were worst compare to those of the different type vehicles. The injection duration of injector was largest C, D types in the order named, was shortest E, F type. As a result, E, F type are most effective among Gasoline vehicles.
