High concentrations of PM2.5 were generated in new apartments before moving in, and PM2.5 reduction efficiencies using air cleaners and ventilation systems were evaluated. The experimental results for different air cleaner capacities showed that the PM2.5 reduction efficiencies for 46.2 m2, 66 m2, and 105.6 m2 areas were 81.7%, 92.9%, and 92.5%, respectively. Thus, the larger the air cleaning application area, the higher the PM2.5 reduction efficiency. However, there was no difference in the efficiency of overcapacity air cleaners above a certain capacity. The efficiencies of air cleaners located at the living room center, interior wall, and edge were 81.7%, 79.2%, and 75.8%, respectively. There was, therefore, no significant difference in the PM2.5 reduction efficiencies of air cleaners in different locations. Furthermore, the PM2.5 reduction efficiencies at distances of 1 m, 2 m, and 3 m were 81.7%, 81.3%, and 81.7%, respectively. Therefore, there was also no significant difference in efficiency with distance. The PM2.5 concentration decreases rapidly during natural ventilation. Therefore, when the indoor PM2.5 is higher than the outdoor PM2.5, the air cleaner should be used after natural ventilation. The efficiency of PM2.5 reduction using an air supply-type ventilation system in apartments was 35%, which is not high. The simultaneous operation of the ventilation system and kitchen range hood was effective, showing a PM2.5 reduction efficiency of 69.1%. However, a water sprayer was not effective, showing a PM2.5 reduction efficiency of 24.3%. The results of this study suggest that PM2.5 reduction performance should be standardized by evaluating the efficiency of different ventilation systems. Effective usage and maintenance standards for ventilation systems need to be disseminated, and ventilation systems and air cleaners should be used effectively.

In this study, We evaluated the efficiency of the smart ventilation system being developed at the test-bed(KCL). Smart ventilation system improve the indoor air quality by absorbing carbon dioxide. It is reducing the infusion of outside air can be reduced to minimum energy consumption. To evaluate the energy savings and carbon dioxide removal efficiency. It was more effective when working with air conditioning and ventilation system at the same time.

The purpose of this study is to investigate information on performance of ventilation in high-tech microelectronicscleanrooms using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). One liquid crystal display (LCD) company was examinedfor evaluating the relationship between workplace concentration and ventilation rate efficiency by using CFDsoftware, Airpak 3.0v. Acetone concentration in cleanroom for final packing process, which is inspected LCD was40.1ppm (GSD 1.91) (n=55) as geometric mean, ranged 7.8~128.7ppm and weakly correlated with ventilationrate efficiency (R²=0.37, p<0.01). Resulting from computational fluid dynamics (CFD), acetone concentrationcan be reduced 62% when install booth type local exhaust system, the most efficient way among 10 other differentventilation methods like increasing volume of general ventilation, changing the location of workers, supply orexhaust diffusers and install downstream type local exhaust system, etc. We found that volitile organic compoundsin cleanroom can be a matter of adverse health effects and the concentration was correlated with ventilation rateefficiency. The most optimized plan to control the contaminants in solvent cleaning work in cleanroom was boothtype local exhaust system.

Recently, the air pollution have bad effects on the indoor environment. Many buildings around the world use natural ventilation. to remove the air pallutant. But, nowadays, ventilation requirements can be demanding, as modern systems require greatly improved reliability and control. The fan and the duct are used to remove air mechanically from the space. Until now, apartment houses have been relying on the duct supply system ventilation rather than other system ventilations. Therefore, the establishment of a prediction method based on optimal ventilation energy consumption using duct supply system and ductless is the ultimate goal of this study. As a result, this study found that the characteristics of duct and ductless supply system ventilation are dependent to each exhaust system. Consequently, the local supply indices of the duct supply system is definitely superior about 24.6% ~ 26.4 % than those of ductless supply system. However, the duct supply system has greater pressure drop in ventilation area than ductless, and duct system needs a lot of ventilation energy. In this study, The ductless supply system has advantage over the duct system about 14.8 % as duct exhaust system and 20.0% as ductless exhaust system in terms of modified local supply indices.

In order to improve indoor air quality of apartment, indoor ventilation system had to be installed in each unit, from 2006 in Korea. However, a duct which is connecting each room in ventilation system became a flanking path of sound. Sound which is generated in one room can easily transmitted into the adjacent room by the duct and speech privacy in apartment room can be seriously degraded. In this study, low noise duct system consisted of noise diffuser and multi drop chamber was developed and noise reduction performance was measured in mock-up system. Noise reduction performance of low noise duct system was compared with conventional duct system. From the result of measurement, it was found that noise diffuser reduce more than 10 dB in the range of 200 Hz and higher frequency band, also multi drop chamber was effective in 2000 HZ and higher frequency band. Noise reduction performance of low noise duct system is effective in the frequency range (from 300 Hz to 4000 Hz bands) of speech conversation.

In this paper, it is intended to investigate the condensation characteristics of a supply vent cap, which is designed and developed for natural ventilation systems for ondol heating spaces. Numerical simulations are conducted using a CFD package to analyze airflow and thermal conditions around the vent cap. Temperature and humidity distributions are obtained to predict condensation on the surface, depending on the material properties. As the thermal conductivity decreases, decreased is the condensation surface area. The thermal conductivity of the vent cap is found to be less than 1 W/mK in order to prevent condensation under the winter design condition of Seoul. An experimental technique is introduced to visualize condensation on surfaces using water-absorbing mud film. Analytical results are in good agreement with experimental observations. Discussion are also included for the thermal comfort and flow characteristics around the vent cap observed by the flow visualization and temperature visualization studies.

지하 동굴식 처분장의 건설, 운영 및 중-저준위 방사성폐기물을 처분한 이후 발생하게 되는 오염물질(Rn, CH CO, HS, Radiolysis에 의한 방사능 가스 등)은 적절한 공기량을 필요로 한 곳에 정확히 분배시킬 수 있는 환기시스템에 의해 통제되도록 하여야한다. 특히 지하 처분장은 여러 개의 진입 터널, 저장 터널, 공기 유입-배기 터널, 수직갱 등으로 이루어진 복잡한 회로망의 형태로 나타나기 때문에 이에 적절한 기술적 접근이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 환기시스템 구축을 위한 기술적 접근을 위해 미국의 WIPP (Waste Isolation Pilot Plant)처분장과 스웨덴의 SFR (Slutforvar for Reaktoravfall) 중-저준위 처분장을 모델로 하여 두 처분장의 소요환기량을 선정하고 설계상 통풍로의 단면적, 길이, 표면 거칠기 등을 고려한 환기회로를 구성하였으며, 수학적으로 계산되는 각 회로의 저항에 대해 기술하였다. 또한 이를 바탕으로 적절한 선풍기의 용량과 수직갱 운용방안을 설계하였다. 두 처분장의 지형상의 규모 및 환기시설 비교 결과, SFR 처분장에 비해 WIPP 처분장에서와 같이 병렬구조가 많을수록 처분장 전체의 저항이 감소되며 이러한 결과로 환기시스템의 운용비 절감효과를 얻을 수 있다는 결론을 얻었다. 따라서 처분용량 증대를 위한 대단면의 SFR 처분장 구조와 전체 저항 감소를 위한 WIPP 처분장의 병렬구조를 조합한 형태가 가장 합리적이며 효율적인 환기가 이루어질 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

A ventilation system comprising a dielectric barrier discharger and UV‐TiO2 photocatalyst filters was designed and tested for simultaneous removal of gaseous and particulate contaminants in a test chamber. The DBD was used as the 1st stage of ESP for particle charging and gas decomposition. Charged particles were collected in the 2nd stage of ESP by an applied DC electric field. The UV‐TiO2 photocatalyst filters were used for decomposing gaseous species including O3 which was inherently produced by the DBD. Particle removal efficiencies based on mass and number were approximately 83.0% and 88.8%, respectively, after the ventilation system was operating for 5 hours. HCHO removal efficiency was approximately 100% for 1∼5ppm of upstream concentration condition. TVOC removal efficiency was 99.0% and 99.6% for 1 ppm and 5 ppm of upstream concentration conditions, respectively.

포그냉방시스템의 냉방효과는 온실 내부의 상대습도, 공기유동과 밀접한 관계가 있다. 냉방설계용 VETH선도에서 냉발효율은 환기회수의 증가와 그에 상응하는 분무수량의 증가로 인하여 개선될 수 있다. 시간제어방식을 이용한 무차광 실험온실에서 분당 환기회수가 평균 0.77회, 분무수량이 2,009g 일 때 온실 내부의 기온이 31℃로 외부기온과 거의 같게 나타났으며, 이 때의 증발효율은 82%이다. 분당 환기회수가 평균 0.26회, 분무수량이 1.256g인 경우 무냉방 온실의 기온과 비슷한 37.1℃였다. 차광율 70%인 실험온실의 분당 환기환수가 평균 2.59회, 분무수량이 2,009g 일 때, 내부의 상대습도는 증가하나 기온은 하강하지 못했다. 그러나 분당 환기회수가 평균 2.33회, 분무수량이 2,009g인 경우 내부의 기온이 31.4℃로 이 때 온실의 유입구 풍속은 최고 1.9m.s-1였다. 시간제어의 경우 일정간격으로 일정한 수량을 분무하기 때문에 분무입자가 모두 증발하지 못하고 온실 내부에 누적되어 온실 내부의 상대습도를 증가시켜 냉방효율을 감소 시키는 원인이 되고 차광망이 온실내부의 공기흐름을 차단하여 증발효율을 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다. 포그냉방시스템의 냉방효율을 높이기 위해서는 온실 내부의 상대습도에 의한 제어방식과 내부 공기의 순환에 대한 연구가 필요하다.

A study on ventilation design using the spreadsheet model is carried out to propose means of available design. A sample of complex ventilation system in the non-standard condition is used to illustrate this spreadsheet model. In developing the spreadsheet model, this study has attempted to it general by using computional equations and design parameters that can be readily applied to any spreadsheet software. Also, most design data is contained in the spreadsheet template. This template provides the same design information as the ACGIH worksheet, and operates quickly and efficiently, and is flexible enough to use under different conditions. spreadsheet model allows the ventilation engineer to design quickly and accurately the ventilation system, without spending too much effort in the design process. By storing on computer and diskette, the design data computed finally can be used as a permanent record of specific ventilation system, and because of flexibility to be able to design over and over again while making only slight changes to the input data, the spreadsheet model is used availably to accomplish the design optimazation by redesign and troubleshooting by review from field measurements. Also, the spreadsheet model is available for designing ventilation system under different condition or evaluating existing system or design drawing, because changes in the layout or formulae can be readily made to fit the needs of the designer.

Industrial ventilation is a crucial engineering measure to protect workers from hazardous airborne contaminants. Designing a ventilation system is not an easy task. To solve this problem, many U. S. computer programs and softwares have been developed. In Korea, asoftware, called as VPMC, was developed by Korea Industrial Safety Corporation. But VPMC could not stand alone since it can be used to design not a hood, but a ventilation system. In this research, therefore, a preprocessing software was developed. It can be used to design general ventilation system, canopy hood, open surface tank hood. The program was written in Microsoft Visual Basic. In near future, this software will be incorporated into a total package software which can be used to design a whole ventilation system.
