하절기 고온으로 인한 작물의 열악한 생육 환경개선을 위하여 미포그노즐을 이용하여 패트온실에서 증발 냉각 시험을 수행하였다. 본 연구에 사용된 미포그노즐의 분무특성을 말븐입자분석기로 분석한 결과 분무압 70kg/ cm2에서 분무입자의 크기는 평균 27μm로 나타났고, 이때의 분무량은 분당 100ml였다. 또한 평균 분무 입자의 크기가 27μm인 경우에 분무낙하량을 조사한 결과 낙하거리 150cm에서 총분무량의 88%가 공중에 부유하는 것으로 나타났다. 냉방시스템의 주요 구성 부분은 고압노즐, 양수펌프, 필터 및 미포그노즐 32개로 이루어졌고, 1분 분무-1분 환기로 이루어진 연속 분무 시험 결과 외기온 30℃의 조건에서 온실내 기온을 40℃에서 32℃로 강하시킬 수 있었다 또한 분무시험시 측정한 온실내의 온습도 값을 psychrometric equation에 대입하여 온실내의 수분변화량을 분석할 수 있었으며, 이와 같은 분석을 통하여 온도강하정도와 온실내 공기의 절대습도비 변화량을 예측할 수 있는 실험식을 정립할 수 있었다. 이 실험식을 이용하여 우리 나라 표준형 온실 1-2W, 3-2G-3S에서 실내온도를 40℃에서 30℃로 강제 냉각시킬 때 필요한 분무수량을 분석한 결과 분무입자 27μm에서의 분무수량은 각각 80.7, 99.9l였으며, 포그시스템에 필요한 노즐의 수는 분당분무량 100ml의 경우 3분 분무기준으로 각각 270, 333개가 소요될 것으로 계산되었다. 앞으로 포그시스템을 활성화하기 위해서는 온실의 기상조건에 따른 증발율과 분무입자에 대한 심층적 연구가 요망된다.

According to a NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies report, temperatures have risen by approximately 1 °C so far, based on temperatures recorded in 1880. The 2003 heatwave in Europe affected approximately 35,000 people across Europe. In this study, a cooling fog, which is used in smart cities, was designed to efficiently reduce the temperature during a heatwave and its pilot test results were interpreted. A model experiment of the cooling fog was conducted using a chamber, in which nano mist spray instruments and spray nozzles were installed. The designed cooling fog chamber model showed a temperature reduction of up to 13.8 °C for artificial pavement and up to 8.0 °C for green surfaces. However, this model was limited by constant wind speed in the experiment. Moreover, if the cooling fog is used when the wind speed is more than 3m/s in the active green zone, the temperature reduction felt by humans is expected to be even greater. As a second study, the effect of cooling fog on temperature reduction was analyzed by installing a pilot test inside the Land Housing Institute (LHI). The data gathered in this research can be useful for the study of heat reduction techniques in urban areas.

Background : Cnidium officinale M. is a medicinal plant used a lot of herbal and functional food ingredients. Recently, the area of cultivation has been increased due to the increase in domestic demand. By the way, this plant is very vulnerable to high temperature, and recently it is difficult to cultivate due to abnormal high temperature and so on. Therefore, in this study, in order to effectively reduce the high temperature of the field, we investigated the degree of temperature reduction and the growth condition of the plant after installed mulching, irrigation and the fog facilities. Methods and Results : In order to reduce the temperature of C. officinale M. cultivation field, the black and white double vinyl mulching, drip irrigation and fog spray treatment were applied and the results were as follows. The survey was conducted at about 2:00 pm on a clear day in August, and the temperature was about 33℃ at the time of measurement. In the case of only black vinyl mulching without watering, the soil temperature was 43.5℃, the surface temperature was 61.4℃, and the mortality rate of the C. officinale M. was 98.0%. The temperature of soil and surface were lowered to 33.1℃ and 38.6℃, respectively, when treated with black vinyl mulching and drip irrigation and fog spraying. In the case of black and white double vinyl mulching, the effect of temperature reduction was better. The soil surface temperature of the non-irrigation treatment was 37.9℃, the surface temperature was 48.5℃ and the mortality rate was decreased to 6.7%. In case of combined drip irrigation and fog spraying, soil temperature was reduced to 31.5℃, surface temperature was 35.8℃, and mortality rate was 0%. Conclusion : As a result of this study, the temperature of soil and surface dropped by up to 12. 0℃ and 25.6℃, respectively, when combined with black and white double vinyl mulching and drip irrigation and fog spray treatment. The mortality rate declined from 89.0% to 0%. Therefore, Therefore, if the results of this study are applied to the cultivation of C. officinale M., it is expected that the production stability will be improved.

In order to accelerate the biodegradation of easily organic materials in landfilled waste before excavating a closed solid waste landfill and prevent to be dried the landfilled wastes at the same time, this study has suggested the Dual Step Biostabilization System (DSBS), which could inject air with dry fog into its body. In addition, the applicability of the DSBS was estimated by means of field test at a closed landfill. As a result of field test, the reduction of oxygen consumption rate for landfilled wastes (48%) stabilized by air with dry fog was higher than that of landfilled wastes (38%) stabilized by only air. Three lysimeter experiments were, also, performed for the landfilled wastes sampled from the closed landfill. The production of cumulative carbon dioxide for landfilled wastes stabilized by air with dry fog was estimated to be highest (1,144.8 mL). In case of lysimeter that moisture was not introduced was found to be 1,051.9 mL, while another lysimeter that moisture was introduced through horizental trenches was 1,095.8 mL. It is clear that the DSBS can accelerate the biodegradation of organic compounds. In terms of volatile solids, the reduction amount of volatile solids for air with dry fog was higher than that of the other conditions.

A New spary chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflorum) cultivar ‘ater Fog’was bred by open pollination of ‘ngaesoguk’ Its characteristics were investigated three times from 2004 to 2006 under forcing culture in spring and retarding culture in autumn. The natural flowering time of ‘ater Fog’was 24 October, but year-round production was possible by shading and lighting. It had flower diameter of 2.3 cm, 46.5 petals and 34.4 flowers per stem in autumn. The petal was narrow(0.4cm) and the color of petal was white with presence of green at flower center. Days to flower from short-day start for ‘ater Fog’ was about 48 in spring. ‘ater Fog’showed the vase life of 22.6 days in autumn. This cultivar was registered for a commercialization in 2007. ‘ater Fog’would be cultured under greenhouse and rain shelter condition in Korea.
