For high quality storage of agricultural products, temperature, humidity and gas conditions in a storage house should be controlled properly. But most of the low temperature storage house is depending on temperature control. This study aimed to develop an automatic control system for low temperature storage house that can control storage conditions such as temperature, humidity and $CO_2$ gas concentration. The developed system alarms the user, by telephone or beeper, when abnormal condition has occurred. The farmer can also monitor the inside condition of warehouse in his residence, by Internet. From the results of the performance test, the temperature and relative humidity in the warehouse is controlled within the range of ${\pm}0.5^{circ}C$ and ${\pm}2%$, respectively.

Various automatic temperature control systems have been used widely in Korea for the conservation of heating energy and the enhancement of thermal comfort in residential buildings. But the heating control performance for automatic temperature control systems extensively vary with the design and operational conditions of the heating system, the climate condition and others. It was introduced in this study a numerical calculation program package to analyze heating control characteristics of the automatic temperature control system. This package is able to analyze the room air temperature, return water temperature, supplied heating flux and flow rate, and so on. One the other hand, the simulation results were verified by comparing with the field test results.

The air conditioning is defined the process of treating air so as to control simultaneously its temperature, humidity, cleanliness , and distribution to meet the requirements of the conditioned space. As in the definition, the important actions involved in the operation of an air condition system are temperature and humidity control , air purification and movement. This paper proposes full automatic control system of these conditions for the bus. The system has cooling, heating and dehumidifying mode, and is governed by dual 8-bit microprocessors. These modes are broken down into sub-modules dealing with control of sub-engine, blower speed, damper position, air purifier, ventilators, preheater, air mixing damper and so on.

현재의 시설하우스에서의 난방 방식은 한 곳에 고정되어져서 위치에 따른 온도 편차가 심해 질 수밖에 없는 실정이다. 채소나 과일 작물 등을 재배하는 시설하우스는 적정 온도의 유지가 필수적인데 하우스 내부의 상하 온도 차이로 인해 적정 난방 또는 냉방을 위한 에너지 소모가 많다. 본 논문에서는 하우스 내부의 공기 순환을 효율적으로 할 수 있는 새로운 형태의 난방 방식인 수직형 교반 히터 자동 제어 시스템을 제안한다. 시설하우스 상 하부의 온도를 이용하여 수직형 교반 히터의 공기 순환 팬과 히팅을 상황에 맞게 독립적으로 제어함으로써 최소한의 전기 소비로 난방의 효율을 극대화 시켜 계획 가능한 작물 생산과 난방비 절감이 가능하다.

As the current heating control of the greenhouse is located in specifically designed place, there is an inevitable difference in degrees depending on the latitude in it. Even though it is necessary to maintain the proper temperature in the greenhouse producing vegetables and fruit plants, the difference between ups and downs in the facilities results in the increasing energy consumption to both warm and cool down the facilities. The newest heating method, automatic control system of vertical agitation heater, which manipulates the inner air circulation efficiently, is suggested in this paper. The proposed system utilizes both the upper temperature and the lower temperature, and controls the air circulation fan and heating independently, so that maximizes the efficiency of heating with the minimum energy and implements predictable planning of farm products.
