The operating parameters considered in this study include evaporating and condensing temperature, degree of subcooling and degree of superheating. in R744-R717 cascade refrigeration system and R744 two-stage compression refrigeration system with the range of low temperature -50℃∼-30℃. The coefficient of performance(COP) of R744-R717 cascade refrigeration system is about 16∼20% greater than that of R744 two-stage compression refrigeration system in the range of evaporation temperature of -50℃∼-30℃. R744 two-stage compression refrigeration system is unstable because its coefficient of performance changes significantly depending on the evaporating temperature and total compression work, and compression efficiency decreases. In this case, not efficient for long-term use. Whereas R744-R717 R744-R717 is a cascade refrigeration system using eco-friendly refrigerants. And this system is a high-efficiency refrigeration system that performs well even under various operating conditions. This is why it can be configured by selecting a refrigerant suitable for the high temperature side and the low temperature side.

Complaints about foul odors are emerging as an issue, and the number of complaints is steadily increasing every year. Biofiltration is known to remove harmful or odorous substances from the atmosphere by using microorganisms, and full-scale biofilters are being installed and operated in various environmental and industrial facilities. In this study, the current status and actual odor removal efficiency of full-scale biofilters installed in publicly owned treatment facilities such as sewage, manure, and livestock manure treatment plants were investigated. In addition, the effects of design and operating factors on their efficiency were also examined. As a result, it was found that odor prevention facilities with less than 30% odor removal efficiency based on complex odors accounted for 40%-50% of the biofilters investigated. In investigating the appropriate level of operating factors on odor removal efficiency, it was found that compliance with the recommended values p lays a significant role in improving odor removal efficiency. In the canonical correlation analysis for the on-site biofilter operation and design data, residence time and humidity were found to be the most critical factors. The on-site biofilter operation and design data were analyzed through canonical correlation analysis, and the residence time and humidity maintenance were found to be the most important factors in the design and operations of the biofilter. Based on these results, it is necessary to improve the odor removal efficiency of on-site biofilters by reviewing the effectiveness of the operation factors, improving devices, and adjusting operating methods.

본 연구는 ISO19030 - 선체 및 프로펠러 성능 모니터링 방법을 실선 178 k 벌크선박에 적용한 결과에 관한 것이다. 최근 온실가 스 저감 규정 대응과 해운 경쟁력 확보를 위해 에너지 저감 솔루션을 선박에 적용하려는 시도가 증가하고 있다. 하지만 정량적으로 선박 성능을 분석하기 쉽지 않아 에너지 저감 솔루션의 평가가 쉽지 않았다. 이러한 해운 산업의 요구에 따라 2016년 ISO19030이 표준화되어 선박 성능 분석을 정량화할 수 있는 기반이 마련되었다. 하지만 ISO19030에서 제안하는 환경 보정법은 각 날씨 영향을 고려한 보정이 아닌 정수(Calm Sea) 상태에서 운항한 데이터만 분석하는 방식이다. 이러한 분석 방식은 선박의 운항 구간에 따라 데이터가 필터링 되는 편차가 심하고 정확한 환경 보정을 하지 않아 6개월 이하의 분석은 신뢰하기 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 ISO19030을 실제 3척 선박 3년 이상 장 기간 운항 데이터에 적용하였다. 적용 결과를 토대로 ISO19030 효용성과 한계점을 파악하고 ISO19030에서 제안하는 필터링 방식 대신 ISO15016의 파도 보정(STA-WAVE2)을 통해 성능 분석 방법을 개선하고자 한다.

In this study, the performances of the refrigeration unit for the box under actual operating conditions were examined by using the constant temperature and humidity chamber (air enthalpy method). For this purpose, the degree of superheat, pressure, and temperature were measured while changing the EEV opening, the compressor speed, the outdoor temperature, and the load in the refrigeration cycle of the refrigeration unit. The highest cooling performance was found at EEV 33%. However, EEV 35% with low compression ratio and degree of superheat was the most reliable in terms of reliability. Considering the compressor speed and cooling performance, the refrigeration unit was in an optimal condition at the compressor speed 3,040RPM. The results of this study will be provided as basic data for the optimal design of refrigeration units for box.

In order to apply rotary atomizer to agricultural spraying system, the motor direct coupled rotary atomizer was proposed. The effect of operating conditions such as atomizing air flow rate, working fluid flow rate, and rotation speed of spinning cup on the atomization performance was investigated for the proposed direct coupled rotary atomizer. The motor speed was controlled in the range of 6,000 to 12,000 rpm using an alternating current transformer, and the atomizing air was supplied by the compressor. In this study, LDPA was used to analyze the spray characteristics of the rotary atomizer. The representative particle diameters of D10, SMD, MMD, D90, and DMax tended to decrease as the atomizing air flow rate and the motor speed increased, but increased as the working fluid flow rate increased. Also, SMD was found to be influenced by order of atomizing air flow rate> motor speed> working fluid flow rate, and DMax was influenced by order of operating fluid supply> motor speed> atomizing air flow rate.

Due to the concern on global warming, refrigerants having high GWP(Global Warming Potential) are being replaced to low GWP refrigerants. As for small slush maker, R-134a is being to replaced to R-290, whose GWP is 3. In this study, performance tests were conducted on the slush maker having dual evaporator, which was designed to operate using R-290. Results showed that the optimum refrigerant charge amount was 100g. At the charge amount, 61 minutes was needed to make a slush from a raw milk substance, which contained 10% sucrose. The power consumption was 0.89 kW, which yielded COP of 0.252. Tests were further conducted changing the outdoor air temperature. It was resulted that slush-making was possible at all outdoor temperatures except at an extreme temperature of 43°C. Even at the temperature, slush-making was possible if the machine operated with a single evaporator. The COP increased with the decrease of the outdoor temperature.

Forward osmosis (FO) process has been attracting attention for its potential applications such as industrial wastewater treatment, wastewater reclamation and seawater desalination. Particularly, in terms of fouling reversibility and operating energy consumption, the FO process is assumed to be preferable to the reverse osmosis (RO) process. Despite these advantages, there is a difficulty in the empirical step due to the lack of separation and recovery techniques of the draw solution. Therefore, rather than using FO alone, recent developments of the FO process have adapted a hybrid system without draw solution separation/recovery systems, such as the FO-RO osmotic dilution system. In this study, we investigated the performance of the hollow fiber FO module according to various operating conditions. The change of permeate flow rate according to the flow rates of the draw and feed solutions in the process operation is a factor that increases the permeate flow rate, one of the performance factors in the positive osmosis process. Our results reveal that flow rates of draw and feed solutions affect the membrane performance, such as the water flux and the reverse solute flux. Moreover, use of hydraulic pressure on the feed side was shown to yield slightly higher flux than the case without applied pressure. Thus, optimizing the operating conditions is important in the hollow fiber FO system.

PTO 토크는 경심에 따라 평균 160~350N․m으로 측정되었으며, 로터리 경운과 펌프 구동에 사용되는 PTO동력(9.0~19.8kW)이 소비동력의 대부분을 차지하였다. 따라서 복합기의 운용은 견인 동력효율에 맞춰져서는 이점이 나타나지 않으며 작업결과의 질 즉, 파종상토와 멀칭작업의 품질에 초점이 맞춰져야 한다. 상부견인 또는 하부견인에 따라 부하의 위치와 크기가 변화되고 작업기의 균형이 결정되므로 작업기의 고품질 작업을 추구하기 위하여 하부 링크의 독립적 제어를 제안한다.

Pressure retarded osmosis(PRO) has attracted much attention as potential technology to reduce the overall energy consumption for reverse osmosis(RO) desalination. The RO/PRO hybrid process is considered as the most logical next step for future desalination. The PRO process aims to harness the osmotic energy difference of two aqueous solutions separated by a semipermeable membrane. By using the concentrated water(RO brine) discharged from existing RO plants, the PRO process can effectively exploit a greater salinity gradient to reduce the energy cost of processing concentrated water. However, in order to use RO brine as the draw solution, PRO membrane must have high water flux and enough mechanical strength to withstand the high operational pressure. This study investigates the development of a thin film composite PRO membrane and spiral wound module for high power density. Also, the influence of membrane backing layer on the overall power density was studied using the characteristic factors of PRO membranes. Finally, the performance test of an 8-inch spiral wound module was carried out under various operating conditions(i.e. hydraulic pressure, flow rate, temperature). As the flow rate and temperature increased under the same hydraulic pressure, the PRO performance increased due to the growth of water permeability coefficient and osmotic pressure. For a high performance PRO system, in order to optimize the operating conditions, it is highly recommended that the flow pressure be minimized while the flow rate is maintained at a high level.

In this study, UV irradiation reactors were used to eliminate 4 types of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in various experimental conditions. The 4 types of VOCs used include acetone (AC), chlorobenzene (CB), dichloromethane (DCM) and methylbenzene (MB). An ozone producing low-pressure mercury lamp that emits UV irradiance at 254 nm and 185 nm was used. The tested operating conditions included UV light intensity, inlet VOCs concentrations, empty bed retention time (EBRT), background gas and relative humidity (RH) of the gas. Firstly, higher UV light intensity is confirmed to have higher VOCs removal efficiency (RE). Higher inlet VOCs concentration will result in lower VOCs RE, and the decreasing trends of different VOCs are not identical. At the same inlet VOCs concentrations, increasing the EBRT will result in a rise in VOCs RE, but a further increase in EBRT will bring about less enhancement in RE. Moreover, UV irradiation in oxygen has the highest VOCs RE compared with that in air and nitrogen gas (N2), indicating that photolysis and photooxidation are both important. Finally, there was no increase the VOCs RE at the increase in RH. All the experimental results indicate that an identical set of operating conditions should be applied when the removal capacities of different VOCs according to the UV irradiation amount are compared.

A series of high capacity soft carbons with different phosphorus contents were successfully prepared by carbonizing petroleum cokes treated with hypophosphorous acid at 900˚C. The effect of phosphorus content on the electrochemical performance of the soft carbons was extensively investigated. The P-doped soft carbons exhibited greatly enhanced discharge capacities and outstanding rate capabilities with increasing phosphorus content. In addition, the influence of temperature on the electrochemical behaviors of the soft carbons was investigated in a wide temperature range of 25˚C to 50˚C. Surprisingly, the electrochemical properties of the pristine and P-doped soft carbons were highly sensitive to the operating temperature, unlike conventional graphite. The pristine and P-doped soft carbons exhibited significantly high discharge capacities of 470 and 522 mAh/g, respectively, at a high temperature of 50˚C.

Fishing efficiency of the squid jigging vessel using the LED and metal halide fishing lamp combination was analyzed to reduce the cost for fishing operation utilizing the fishing light system for high degree of efficiency in the squid jigging fishery (one of the representative coastal and offshore fisheries in Korea). This study aims to improve the nature of existing LED lamps and to develop fan-shaped LED lights having 180W of power and ±45˚ angle of light intensity distribution. The marine experiment for making a comparison of their fishing efficiency was tested by a 9.77 tons fishing vessel from Oct. through Dec. 2012. As a result, experimental fishing vessel showed slightly higher fishing efficiency than the average of metal halide lamp-equipped vessel and 20% energy savings. This means that the combination of LED and metal halide lamps would provide an efficient way to lower energy consumption while maintaining fishing efficiency.

A three dimensional numerical analysis was performed to study the PEMFC performance characteristics. Operating pressure and operating temperature were selected as simulation parameters. Operating pressure was varied as 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 atm. Operating temperature was varied as 323, 333, 343, 353, and 363 K. For a constant cell voltage condition, the maximum current density was obtained at operating pressure of 5 atm and operating temperature of 323 K. As operating pressure increases, current density increases because concentration of reactant gases increases. As operating temperature increases, current density decreases because concentration of reactant gases decreases due to high overpotential condition for the considered PEMFC.

One of representative Korean fisheries, jigging and angling has 5,700 vessels for squid and hairtail. Hairtail angling is the most typical fishery in Jeju and has an enormous impact on regional economy. However, the price hike in oil and labor costs triggered the necessity of developing a high efficient and energy saving fish luring lamp in recent times. For that reason, this study aimed to analyze the fishing performance of the aircooled LED lamp targeting hairtail angling fishery. The experiment was conducted from September through October in 2009-2011 for a 9.77 ton of fishing vessel setting up 100 lamps. The fishing performance was tested compared with 6 vessels using metal halide lamps in the same waters. As the LED lamp's performance goes up, different lamps were used in 2008 for 80W, 2009 for 120W and 2011 for 180W respectively. The catch and CPUE of the experimental vessel have gradually increased respectively taking the 4th and 6th place in 2009, the 4th and 2nd place in 2010, the 1st and 1st place in 2011 among the 7 vessels. In summary, the LED fishing lamp showed higher fishing performance than comparison groups. It saved 33% of oil consumption and cut down on operating expenses and greenhouse gases emission.

Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) performance degrades when hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is present in the fuel hydrogen gas; this is referred to as H2S poisoning. This paper reveals H2S poisoning on PEMFC by measuring electrical performance of single cell FC under various operating conditions. The severity of H2S poisoning depended on H2S concentration under best operating conditions(65℃ of cell temperature and 100% of anode humidification). H2S adsorption occured on the surface of catalyst layer on MEA, but not on the gas diffusion layer(GDL) by analyzing SEM/EDX data. In addition, MEA poisoning by H2S was cumulative but reversible. After poisoning for less than 150 min, performance of PEMFC was recovered up to 80% by just inert nitrogen gas purging.

This study was aimed to evaluate the effects of effluent recycling on the UASB reactor performances at the various organic loading rates and influent substrate concentrations. The organic removal efficiency of the reactors operated with effluent recycle were above 85%. However, the efficiencies of the reactors operated without the recycle were below 40% even though the effort to increase the efficiencies was made by changing the influent substrate concentrations and the organic loading rates, and introducing the effluent recycle at the final stage of the experiment. It was realized that the certain amount of effluent recycling from the start-up stage in UASB reactors seemed to be necessary to provide the effective contact chances between the substrate and granular sludge for better performances of the UASB
