The design of the new type of solar water heater built into the facades did not come from chance. It relies on "prerequisites" and previous studies, namely a) knowledge of the constitution of the solar water heater with its two components solar collectors and storage b) The existence of the well-known Trombe wall concept, c) The facade heating itself formed by solar air collector, d) Our patented innovation since 1989 for the integrated storage solar water heater. The solar water heater type integrated storage solar collector is integrated to the wall facade to reduce the cost and to better intercept solar radiation in winter when the need for hot water are the most important. Moreover, to save hot water for several days, we rely on another concept which is the thermosiphon solar water heater that we have developed and innovated by removing all threaded connections and / or Internal soldering to the solar collector and storage of hot water, thus resulting in innovation of solar water heater wall with thermosiphon, where the collector is in the facade and storage inside. The solar water heating system performs well since a temperature of 64°C should be reached in winter.

In this paper, we have implemented the low temperature fluidity test system with the composited package fuel heater, which has tested the low temperature fluidity and start time to evaluate the performance. Then we have compared the separation and the unified fuel heater type at + 20 ~ -30 . Also, we have tested the flowing pressure and start time, power consumption of heater. By comparing the performance with several condition, the experimental results obtain an improved start time of 23% and low temperature fluidity of 19%.

Typical wet floor systems applied in most Korean housing units require refurbishing as they have a shorter lifespan than buildings. Construction waste, yielded by such refurbishing, can cause social problems such as environmental issues. In order to reduce such problems, a dry double floor system had been developed with the use of recycled materials. In this study, we evaluated performances of a developed double floor system, such as impact sound and radiant heat. As a result, floor impact sound was around 40 dB for light-weight types and around 48 dB for heavy-weight types, respectively. Moreover, radiant heat generated from the double floor system increased by approximately 28% compared with one of the existing Korean wet-floor heater type systems. Eventually, other evaluations were performed for items including environmental harm as required by the Korean building code, and the results showed that the developed dry floor system met all applicable Korean standards.

One of the obstructing factors against managing dairy fm has been heavy labor requirement for feeding dairy cows. A Power-tiller TMF mixer was developed to reduce the cost and to provide economic benefit. The TMF mixer was desisted by the feeding capacity of 20∼30 heads at a batch with various functioning systems of auger type mixer, delivery conveyer, weighing console, pipe heater type heating system, power transmission train and mounting trailer. According to the study resulted, it showed that 1,200rpm, 1,600rpm, 2,000rpm and 2,300rpm were 6ps. Bps, lops and 12ps respectively. and that reduced shaft output by 15%. On the fodder mixer attached powertiller, initial output was necessary large torque. And the heating system was maintaining uniform temperature 60 relatively.

The study aimed to determine the influence of heater type on performance of laying hens during starter period and to identify the heater that produce the best performance in layer starter period. A total of 360 layer starter period is divided into two treatment groups of brooding cage with 2 of type heaters: heater ducting and heater portable. The data were then analyzed using t test. The results of the experiment indicated that the type of heater did not affect feed and consumption, body weight gain, feed conversion and uniformity of body weight of the layer starter period.

We have developed synthesis methods for 9-(4-[(18)F]fluoro-3-hydroxymethylbutyl)guanine ([(18)F]FHBG) using two commercial automatic chemistry modules, Tracerlab MX and Explora RN, and compared radiochemical yields. Synthesis conditions and sequence programs were modified for two modules because both these modules have different mechanical structures, including heater type, vacuum system, reactor, and tubing size. Synthesis using the Tracerlab MX module showed a 21.0+/-3.8% yield of radiochemical, which was 98+/-0.9% pure; the total preparation time was 63.0+/-5.0min including an HPLC purification step. In contrast, synthesis using the Explora RN module showed a 32.0+/-1.2% yield of radiochemical, which was 99.0+/-0.6% pure; the total preparation time was 38+/-2min, using different HPLC purification conditions and without the HPLC solvent evaporation step.

The Tanks Focus Area (TFA) identified a major task to address performance limitations and deficiencies of the Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) now in its sixth year of operation. Design, installation, testing, monitoring, operability, and a number of other characteristics were studied by research personnel collaboratively at a number of facilities: Savannah River Technology Center (SRTC), Clemson Environmental Technologies Laboratory (CETL), Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), and the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL). Because the potential limiting feature to the DWPF was identified as the pour spout/riser heater, researches on alternative design concepts originally proposed in the past were revisited. In the original works, finite element modeling was performed to evaluate temperature distribution and stress of the design currently used at the DWPF. Studies were also made to define the requirements of the design and to consider the approaches for remote removal/replacement. Their heater type/location, their remotely replaceable thermocouples, and their capabilities for remote handling characterized the five alternative designs proposed. Review comments on the alternative designs indicated a relatively wide range of advantages and disadvantages of the designs. The present report provides an overview of the design criteria, modeling results, and alternative designs. Based on a review of the past design optimization activities and an assessment of recent experience, recommendations are proposed for future consideration and improvement.

We investigated Legionella and Pseudomonas contamination of hot water in a cross-sectional multicentric survey in Italy. Chemical parameters (hardness, free chlorine, and trace elements) were determined. Legionella spp. were detected in 33 (22.6%) and Pseudomonas spp. in 56 (38.4%) of 146 samples. Some factors associated with Legionella contamination were heater type, tank distance and capacity, water plant age, and mineral content. Pseudomonas presence was influenced by water source, hardness, free chlorine, and temperature. Legionella contamination was associated with a centralized heater, distance from the heater point >10 m, and a water plant >10 years old. Furthermore, zinc levels of 50 microg/L appeared to be protective against Legionella colonization [corrected]. Legionella species and serogroups were differently distributed according to heater type, water temperature, and free chlorine, suggesting that Legionella strains may have a different sensibility and resistance to environmental factors and different ecologic niches.
