본 연구는 최근 신소재 단열재로 주목받고 있는 실리카 에어로겔을 이용하여 현재 사용되고 있는 다겹보온커튼의 단점을 보완하고 보온성을 유지 및 향상시킬 수 있는 새로운 조합의 다겹보온커튼을 제작 하여 현장에 설치함으로써 보온성과 경제성을 분석하고자 한다. 실험에 사용된 다겹보온커튼은 실리카 에어로겔이 함유된 부직포를 사용하여 2가지의 조합으로 제작하였으며 시중에 판매, 사용되고 있는 관행 다겹보온 커튼과의 차이에 따른 온습도변화와 연료소비량을 측정하여 비교분석하였다. 실험결과 단동온실과 연동온실에서 다겹보온커튼 차이에 따른 온습도변화는 미세하게 나타났으나, 거의 비슷한 온습도 값을 유지하였다. 이는 실리카 에어로겔을 이용한 다겹보 온커튼이 관행 다겹보온커튼에 비해 온습도 제어 측면에서 문제가 없음을 나타냈다. 난방에너지 비교분석 결과, 실리카 에어로겔을 이용한 다겹보온커튼이 관행 다겹보온커튼에 비해 연료소비량은 단동온실에서 약 15%, 연동온실에서 약 20% 의 연료소비량을 절감한 것으로 나타나 온실의 규모와 사용기 간이 증가함에 따라 난방에너지는 절감될 것으로 판단된다. 실리카 에어로겔 이용 다겹보온커튼이 관행 다겹보온커튼에 비해 통기성과 보온성이 증가되는 것이 확인되었다. 그러나, 연동온실에서 사용된 다겹보온커튼은 관행 다겹보온커튼에 비해 무게가 증가하고 뻣뻣하여 시공성과 작동성이 떨어지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이에 단동온실에서 사용된 다겹보온 커튼에서는 개선사항을 적용하였다. 내부단열재의 교체를 통해 두께를 감소시키고 뻣뻣함을 개선함으로써 농가가 사용하 기에 충분한 가능성이 있다는 것을 확인하였다.

본 연구는 일정한 풍환경하에 온실 피복재 관류전열손실을 분석하기 위하여 온실 열손실 분석용 소형 풍동을 제작하고 그 성능을 분석하였으며 모형온실을 적용하였을 때의 관류전열손실을 분석하였다. 소형 풍동은 시험부 측 공기흐름이 정상상태를 유지하고 편차를 최소화하기 위하여 풍동의 각 요소를 반영하여 구성하였으며 송풍부, 확산부, 정류부, 축소부, 시험부로 구성하였다. 소형 풍동의 형태는 개방형, 토출식으로 결정하였고, 시험부 규격은 제작하고자 하는 모형온실의 규격과 상사비율, 시험부의 단면 폐쇄율을 감안하여 결정하였다. 상사비율을 풍동실험에 적용할 모형은 농업시설 중 가장 큰 비중을 차지하고 있는 단동 비닐온실을 대상으로 하였다. 소형풍동 내 풍속을 조절함에 따라 나타나는 모형온실 피복재의 관류전열계수는 피복재 면을 크게 지붕면과 측벽면, 앞뒷면으로 나누고 각 면별 계측 데이터를 평균 내어 산출하였다. 지붕면은 풍속이 증가함에 따라 전열계수도 증가하나 증가폭이 감소하는 구간은 배치각도에 따라 1-2ms-1과 2-3ms-1으로 구분되어지는 것으로 판단되었다. 측벽면의 전열계수가 증가하는 폭이 큰 구간은 0-1ms-1 구간인 것으로 판단된다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the distribution characteristics of mist spray particle size by devising a rotary mist spraying device to develop the evaporative salt water desalination system. The rotary mist spraying device was consisted of a BLDC sirocco fan, a spinning fan, a fan fixed shaft and a salt water supply device etc. In this study we analyzed the characteristics of spray particle size and distribution according to the variation of sirocco fan surface roughness(Ra, μm), revolutions(rpm) and salt water flow rate(mL/min). When sirocco fan surface roughness( Ra) was in the range of 0.27~7.65 μm, the spray particle size was 0.117~1.360 μm. And then more than 90% of spray particles were found to be less than 0.50 μm. When sirocco fan surface roughness(Ra) was in the range of 12.70~22.84 μm, the spray particle size was 2.51~184.79 μm and more than 98% of spray particles were found to be less than 13.59 μm. To analyze the effect of fan rotation speed on the size and distribution of spray particles, when surface roughness Ra was fixed 0.27 μm and fan rotation speed and salt water flow rate was respectively changed at 3,800~5,600 rpm and 2.77~8.28 mL/min, spray particle size was 0.341~0.541 μm. And when salt water flow rate was 9.74 mL/min and fan rotation speed was 3,800~5,200 rpm, spray particle size was in the range of 29.29~341.46 μm and in case of 5,600 rpm more than 98.23% of spray particles were in the range of 2.51~13.59 μm.

The purpose of this study is to suggest structural model and analyze design factors for the development of small greenhouse standardization model. The average dimensions of small greenhouse desired by urban farmers were 3.3m in width, 1.9m in eaves height, 2.7m in ridge height, 5.7m in length. The cladding materials for small greenhouse were preferred to glass, PC board and plastic film, framework to aluminum alloy and steel, and heating method in electrical energy. In addition, it was analyzed that small greenhouses need to develop structural model by dividing them into entry-level type and high-level type. The roof type that was used for entry-level type was arch shape, framework was steel pipe, cladding material was plastic film. On the other hand, high-level type was used in even span or dutch light type, framework with square hollow steel, cladding materials with glass or PC board. In consideration of these findings and practicality, this study developed four types of small greenhouses. The width, eaves height, ridges height, and length of the small greenhouses of even span type, which were covered with 5mm thick glass and 6mm thick PC board were 3m, 2.2m, 2.9m, and 6m, respectively. The small greenhouse of dutch light type covered with 5mm thick glass was designed with 3.8m in with, 2.2m in eaves height, 2.9m in ridges height, and 6m in length. The width, eaves height, ridges height, and length of the arch shape small greenhouse covered with a 0.15mm PO film were 3m, 1.5m, 2.8m, and 6m, respectively.

The multi-layer insulating curtains used in the experiment was produced in six combinations using non-woven fabric containing aerogel and compared and analyzed by measuring heat flux and heat perfusion rates due to weight, thickness and temperature changes. Using silica aerogel, which have recently been noted as new material insulation, this study tries to produce a new combination of multi-layer insulating curtains that can complement the shortcomings of the multi-layer insulating curtains currently in use and maintain and improve its warmth, and analyze the thermal properties. The heat flux means the amount of heat passing per unit time per unit area, and the higher the value, the more heat passing through the multi-layer insulating curtain, and it can be judged that the heat retention is low. The weight and thickness of multi-layer insulation curtains were found to be highly correlated with thermal insulation. In particular, insulation curtains combined with aerogel meltblown non-woven fabric had relatively higher thermal insulation than insulation curtains with the same number of insulation materials. However, the aerogel meltblown non-woven fabric is weak in light resistance and durability, and there is a problem that the production process and aerogel are scattering. In order to solve this problems, the combination of expanded aerogel non-woven fabric and hollow fiber non-woven fabric, which are relatively simple manufacturing processes and excellent warmth, are suitable for use in real farms.

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.

of the marketed multi-later insulating curtain was carried out. Experiments is conducted by fabricating a test apparatus for investigating the heat flux characteristics. The multi-later insulating curtain used for the experiment was compared using the P, N, S, U and T company, which are commercially available, and the heat flux due to temperature difference between the experimental apparatus and the outside was compared and analyzed. When the internal temperature of the experimental result is the maximum temperature 60℃, the heat flux of multi-later insulating curtain is T Co.(73.1W/m2) > S Co.(119.5W/m2) > U Co.(155W/m2) > N Co.(163.1 W/m2) > P Co.(177.7W/m2). The heat flux means the quantity of heat passing through the unit time per unit area, and the higher the numerical value, the higher the quantity of heat passing through the multi-layer insulating curtain. This can be determined that high heat fluxes produce low heat resistance. Further, it has been found that the weight of the insulating curtain is largely unrelated to the heat insulating property, and the heat insulating curtain having a thickness containing a high internal air layer is excellent in the heat insulating property. In the future when manufacturing a heat insulating curtain, It is judged that it is desirable to manufacture a combination of heat insulating materials that contain a high internal air layer content and that can maintain the air layer even for long-term use while minimizing the volume.

본 연구는 방울토마토 재배 단동온실에 공기순환팬을 설치하고 공기순환팬이 온실 내 온도 및 습도 분포, 에너지소비량에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 공기순환팬은 날개 크기 230mm의 Stainless 팬으로, Lee 등(2016)의 연구결과를 참고하여 시험구 온실에 9m 간격으로 총 18 대를 설치하였다. 온실 내부 온습도는 온실 길이방향으 로 4등분하여 1/4 지점과 3/4 지점의 중앙에 센서를 설치하고 0.8m, 1.8m 높이 2곳의 온습도를 난방을 주로 하는 야간(오후 6시~다음 날 오전 7시)에 5분 간격으로 측정하였다. 에너지소비량은 각 온실에 위치한 온수펌프의 유량, 온수 출수부와 환수부의 온도차를 측정하여 계산하였다. 공기순환팬을 사용하지 않았을 때 측점 간 온도차 및 습도차의 평균값은 0.75oC, 2.19%였으며 공기 순환팬 사용 시 측점 간 온도차 및 습도차의 평균값은 0.42oC, 1.27%로 감소하였다. 공기순환팬 설치 온실과 미설치 온실의 누적 에너지소비량은 각각 4,673kWh, 4,009kWh로 공기순환팬 설치 온실에서 약 14.2%의 에너지를 적게 소모하였다. 이러한 결과로 보아 온실 내 공기순환팬 사용은 공기를 지속적으로 교반시켜 주어 온실 전체의 온도 및 습도를 균일하게 만들고, 공기의 온도가 빠르게 변하지 않도록 해주어 난방 장치의 가동 시간과 에너지소비량을 줄일 수 있다.

In this study, a hot water pipe and a blowing fan were combined for developing zone heating technology for cherry tomato. The concept of this system was that hot air was firstly made by hot water pipe in one layer plastic duct and then a blowing fan made the hot air formed in a duct discharge through a duct hole to a shoot apex or a flower cluster which was temperature-sensitive part of cherry tomato. This system mainly consisted of hot water boiler, thermal tank, heat radiation plastic duct with the function of moving up and down electrically depending on the height of shoot apex. Developed system was applied to the cherry tomato greenhouse located in Jangam Chungcheongnamdo from Dec. 28, 2015 to Feb. 16, 2016 and compared with conventional entire space heating system of cherry tomato greenhouse and looked into cumulative yield for the estimate of growing state and energy saving rate from the conventional consumed energy. The result showed that cumulative yield was 3% higher and consumed energy was 32% lower than those of control greenhouse. The average temperature of shoot apex zone was 0.4~1.1℃ higher and the average relative humidity of shoot apex zone was 2,2~2.3% lower than those of entire space during night time in a shoot apex zone heating greenhouse and the average temperature of shoot apex zone was 0.7~1.4℃ lower and the relative humidity of shoot apex zone was 2.9~8.3% higher than those of entire space during night time in a entire space heating greenhouse.

본 연구는 폭 7m, 길이 25m, 동고 3.2m의 토마토를 재배하는 온실에 공기순환팬을 설치하고 순환팬이 온실 내 온도 및 습도 분포에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 기존의 순환팬 설치 기준(ASAE, 1997)을 참고하여 시험 온실에 순환팬 10대를 2열 및 다른 방향으로 설치하여 18시부터 다음날 8시까지 온실 내 온습도를 측정하였다. 온실 내 온습도는 온실을 9개의 격자망으로 나눈 후 온실 중앙부에서는 0.7m, 1.7m 및 2.7m 높이, 온실 좌우 측에는 0.7m, 1.7m 높이에 센서를 설치하였다. 공기순환 팬을 사용하지 않았을 때 온실 상하부의 온도 및 습도의 평균값은 14.7oC, 74.8%와 13.0oC, 85.6%로 온습도 차는 평균적으로 1.7oC, 10.8% 발생하였다. 공기순환팬 10대를 2열 및 다른 방향으로 설치하여 운용했을 때 온실 상하부의 온습도는 14.6oC, 75.9%와 14.5oC, 79.1% 로 온습도 차는 각각 0.1oC, 3.2%였으며 순환팬을 사용 하지 않았을 때와 비교하여 온실 상하부의 온도 및 습도 차가 감소하였다. 순환팬을 6대 및 5대로 줄여서 운용했을 때 온실 상하부의 온습도 차는 각각 0.3oC, 3.4%와 0.3oC, 4.0%로 나타나 순환팬 10대를 사용했을 때와 비슷한 효과를 보였다. 순환팬 10대를 2열 및 같은 방향으로 설치했을 때의 온실 상하부의 온습도 차는 0.5oC, 4.9%로 팬을 다른 방향으로 설치했을 때보다 온습도 차가 크게 나타났다. 온실 좌우측면, 전후면의 온습도 차를 살펴보면 순환팬을 사용하지 않았을 때 좌우 측면의 온습도 차는 0.3oC, 1.7%로 작아 팬을 사용했을 때와 큰 차이가 없었으나 순환팬을 사용하지 않았을 때 1.0oC, 4.2%로 나타났던 전후면의 온습도 차는 순환팬을 사용함으로써 감소하였다. 이는 공기순환팬이 온실 내 공기를 순환시켜 온풍난방 시 상부에 정체된 더운 공기나 열손실로 인해 온도가 다른 공기를 교반시킴으로써 온도 및 습도 차가 감소한 것이다. 폭 7m, 길이 25m, 동고 3.2m인 단동온실에서 날개 크기 230mm, 풍량 11m3/min의 공기순환팬을 사용하고자 할 때는 순환팬 5대를 2열로 설치하되 각 열을 방향을 다르게 하고 9m 간격으로 설치하여 운용하는 것이 가장 경제적이고 효과적일 것이다.

This study was conducted to develop and evaluate an appropriate control device for a purge type controlled atmosphere (CA) storage in Korea. To determine ideal performance, oxygen and carbon dioxide control capability and airtightness were analyzed according to the postharvest management manual of CA storage of Fuji apples. In shortened experiments for CA storage, the condition was delayed CA at 0-0.5oC for three days and stored at 0.1-0.5% carbon dioxide levels for 3 days and then further stored 6 days under 1% carbon dioxide. As a result, the temperature control range of a developed CA container was 0.0-0.5oC, and the relative humidity was more than 90%, except for the defrosting step for the freezer during the storage period. The rate of pressure reduction for the CA container in the negative and positive pressure states was 0.45 and 0.21 mmH2O/min, respectively, and it was twofolds higher than standard airtightness for CA storage. After nitrogen injection, oxygen concentration was achieved at 2%, and carbon dioxide concentration was maintained at 0.1-0.5% for 6 days. Afterwards, carbon dioxide levels were tightly controlled between 0.1-1.0%. These results suggest that a developed purge type CA container could be effective in commercially maintaining the quality of agricultural products.

This study was conducted to develop the domestic production of a controlled atmosphere (CA) storage system, including nitrogen generator and carbon dioxide eliminator using selective gas separation membrane and operating program. Generally, the gas composition inside general cold stores constantly changes due to the metabolic activity of the respiring vegetables and fruits and leakage of gases through doors and walls. However, the CA container developed by our research team is able to control of the level of oxygen and carbon dioxide inside the reefer, making it simple and effective in operation. The efficiency of the nitrogen generator to replace oxygen with nitrogen inside the CA container was approximately 1.33% per hour. The change in oxygen concentration inside the CA container during the operation refrigerator almost did not show any difference for 8 days. Therefore, CA storage container should be a promising approach to maintaining the high quality of agricultural products during storage.

The aim of our study was to provide a basic data for the development of a small greenhouse model suitable for urban farmers. The study analyzed installation inclination, positive and negative reasons for installation, location of installation, preferred crops in small greenhouses, plans for use of products, and expected effects by using small greenhouse. Positive opinion on small greenhouse installation was 80.4% of the survey respondents. The most positive reason for the installation of small greenhouses was fresh and safe food supply, and the negative reason was maintenance difficulties. The results obtained in our survey indicated that small greenhouses were more likely to be installed near the house, and urban farmers tended to grow organic leafy vegetables in soil. The expected benefits of small greenhouse operation were largely divided into ‘benefit for the improvement of the quality of life’ and ‘benefit for economic profits’, and expectation for the improvement of the quality of life was higher than economic benefit. As a result of the Likert 5-point scale analysis, ‘benefit for the improvement of the quality of life’ by using a small greenhouse was graded as high as 4.17∼4.60. On the other hand, the ‘benefit to economic profits’ was rated as low as 3.51∼4.14.

마늘의 냉동에 따른 생리활성을 변화를 분석함으로서 생리활성 효능이 유지되는 최적의 냉동 온도를 선정하고자 냉동조건에 따른 마늘 추출물의 항산화 및 항균활성을 비교 분석하였다. 마늘 추출물의 페놀 화합물 함량은 6.91±0.69 μg GAE/g으로 냉동 조건(-20, -80, -196℃)에 따라 큰 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 플라보노이드 함량은 -80℃에서 0.327±0.058 μg QE/g에 반해 -20℃ 에서 0.263±0.015 μg QE/g으로 소폭 감소를 나타내었다. DPPH 라디칼 소거능 분석에서는 2 mg/mL의 추출물에서 4℃와 -80℃에서 61%로 나타난 것에 비해 -20℃와 -196℃에서는 51%가량으로 10%정도 라디칼 소거능이 감소하는 경향을 나타내었고, 마늘 추출물의 SOD 유사활성은 4℃ 대조군에 비해 냉동조건에서 전반적으로 증가 경향을 나타냈다. 아질산염 소거능은 pH 3.0 조건에서 18% 수준에서 소폭 증가가 나타난 반면 환원력 비교에서는 700 nm의 흡광도가 1.6 abs 수준에서 냉동조건에 따라 감소하는 경향을 나타내었고 -80℃에서 감소폭이 가장 적게 나타났으나 유의적인 수준은 못 되었다. 항균활성 비교 실험에서는 마늘 추출물이 E. coli, S. typhimurium, V. vulnificus, S. aureus와B. cereus에 대해 높은 항균활성을 나타냈으며, 마늘의 냉동 조건에 따라서는 유의적 차이를 보이지 않았다. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 마늘의 냉동 후 추출물의 생리활성은 실험조건에 따른 변화 폭이 크지는 않지만 페놀 화합물과 플라보노이드 및 이에 의한 항산화 및 항균 활성이 안정적으로 유지되는 최적 온도는 -80℃로서, 마늘의 냉동 저장 중 품질특성 뿐만 아니라 생리활성기능 유지라는 두 가지 측면에서 -20℃ 관행 냉동보다는 저온급속냉동이 필요하다고 판단된다.
