This research aimed to experimentally study of solar panel efficiency with water cooling. Three mono-crystalline solar panels with the capacity of 80 W (for each panel) were used for this test. The first panel was a solar panel without water cooling. The second panel was a panel with water spray cooling. The last panel was a solar panel with water drop cooling. The cooling water flow rate was varied to 50 75 and 100 LPH. From the test it was found that the temperatures of all solar panels had the similar trends. The solar panel efficiency decreased when the temperature of solar panel increases. The solar panel efficiency increased when the cooling water flow rate was increased for both of water spray cooling and water drop cooling. For all water cooling flow rates the water spray cooling solar panel performed higher efficiency than water drop cooling solar panel. The highest solar panel efficiency in this test occurred when the water spray cooling flow rate of 100 LPH.

The objective of this research is to study the suitable factor level for the improvement of annealing furnace for rolled coils steel sheet. The experimenting has been performed to find suitable oxygen level by 5 annealing furnace experiment. The research has been started by collection the combustion. After that the burning adjustment by changing combustion technology with 5 levels of BGCV control valve open as 23% 40% 50% 75% and 100% has been implemented. The combustion adjustment data are recorded analyzed and compared with incomplete combustion value. The research result has been found that after improvement the combustion value. The percentage of oxygen level are improved to the better quality which standard at MV0-49% equal 2.5-4 O2% and MV50-100% equal 1.5-2.5 O2% conclusion 1 furnace as follows at the MV23.1% MV40% MV50% MV75% and MV100% level of oxygen as 2.5% 3% 3% 2% 1.5% and level of carbon monoxide as 0 ppm 2 ppm 2 ppm 2 ppm and 0 ppm respectively. Resulting of fuel energy consumption in the annealing process has been reduced around 225608 baht /year/furnace. Therefore it can depict that energy saving and annealing furnace efficiency improving are increased. The modified parameters will be applied to be the new standard reference values for the further engineer’s operational manual.

Presently Rental office is famous in downtown that near food center and have good transportation. In Thailand office buildings usually have operating time 8-10 hours per day. So need to improve the building for energy conservation and employee’s comfort. Glasses are one way that heat transfers occur highly. Overall Thermal Transfer Value (OTTV) is a tool for measure heat transfers through building envelope. From OTTV calculation for existing building OTTV is 92.94 W/m2 that over ministerial regulations indicate 50 W/m2. Improving building envelope by add more thickness of glasses can reduce OTTV 1.3% and improving building envelope by film installation can reduce OTTV 47.2% and improving building envelope by add shading can reduce OTTV 48.5%. However each improving policy have each investment cost. Conjoint analysis is consider of many factor to find willingness to pay for each choice. So set policies for energy conservation water and waste management and increase comfort are employees to improve energy conservation water and waste management and increase comfort are 19935.90 17590.50 and 1563.60 baht respectively so can improve building envelope by add shading result in OTTV to 47.8 W/m2 Budget 18000 Baht can be improve organization that payback about 5400 Baht per year. Increase thermal comfort by install table fan. From the result of research expect to apply to improve rental office in the future.

The objective of this research was to design and development of a continuous flow paddy dryer with infrared radial radiation technique. The prototype of dryer consists of two concentric circular cylinders cylinders which the paddy drying chamber is height of 1 m. The inner cylinder has diameter of 26.5 cm made from glasses and outer cylinder has diameter of 29.5 cm made from perforated (1.75 mm) steel sheet. At the center of cylinders installed 1200 w of electric infrared heater. A hopper was installed on the top of the chamber while 120 w of blower and paddy flow control were installed at bottom of chamber. The performance of the dryer in terms of specific energy consumption (SED) drying rate (DR) and quality of paddy i.e. head rice yield (HRY) and whiteness index (WI) were evaluated by drying 15 kg of paddy with initial moisture content of 23-26% (w.b.) by using the drying conditions of 80oC of drying chamber temperature 1.075 m3/min of air flow rate and 0.837 1.228 1.875 and 2.308 kg/min of paddy flow rate. The results found that paddy flow rate at 1.875 kg/min is the optimum condition because gave the highest DR lowest SEC and rice qualities (HRY and WI) closely to control.

The research was to develop environmental packaging from composite materials hyacinth fiber rice husk and coconut fiber for temperature preservation to replace the use of foam packaging that cannot be degraded naturally. In the composite materials water hyacinth fiber rice husk and coconut fiber at the ratios 7: 1: 2 1 : 1 : 2 and 1: 1: 1 were extruded by heat using isocyanate glue as a solder and testing the physical and biological properties of composite materials as fiberboard. For testing of temperature preservation of the bio packaging heat transfer test to obtain the bio-packaging for the environment the composite materials of fiber water hyacinth rice husk and coconut fiber at the ratio of 7 : 1 : 2 was the most appropriate type. Since it had a density of 0.7 grams per cubic centimeter strength of 26.76 MPa moisture content of 3.8 percent ages and swelling of 26.63 percent ages. In dry condition at room temperature it could store heat for 2 hours and could retain the cold temperature as shown for the temperatures rising from 4 to 30.7 degree Celsius within 2 hours. This research therefore presents a new alternative method of natural fiber composite materials application for temperature preservation in order to reduce the use of foam containers and increase cost value to natural bio waste materials.
