Abstract

The objective of this study is to investigate cooling performance characteristics of mobile air conditioning system using R744 as an alternative of R-134a. In order to analyze the cooling performance characteristics of the air conditioning system using R744 for a passenger vehicle, the developed air conditioning system using R744 was applied in a real passenger vehicle and tested under various operating conditions with the variation of gas-cooler inlet air conditions, evaporator inlet air temperatures and compressor speeds. As a result, cooling capacity and coefficient of performance (COP) of the tested air conditioning system decreased with the rise of the inlet air temperature of the gas cooler but increased with the rise of the inlet air temperature of the evaporator. In addition, cooling capacity and coefficient of performance (COP) increased by 42.2 % with the rise of the compressor speed from 900 rev/min to 1800 rev/min, but it decreased by 55.4%.

본 연구의 목적은 이산화탄소를 적용한 자동차용 냉방시스템의 냉방 성능특성을 고찰하는 것이다. 특히 자동차의 실도로 운전 조건을 모사할 수 있도록 실험 조건을 선정하였으며 실제 자동차에 적용된 이산화탄소용 냉방시스템에 대하여 다양한 냉방성능 실험을 진행하였다. 결과적으로, 가스쿨러 입구 공기온도가 증가할수록 냉방용량과 COP는 감소하였고 증발기 입구 공기온도가 증가할수록 냉방용량과 COP는 증가하였다. 또한, 압축기 회전속도가 900 rev/min에서 1800 rev/min으로 증가할수록 냉방용량은 42.2% 증가였으나 냉방 COP는 55.4% 감소하였다.
