The use of river water as a heat source of a heat pump has the advantage in the performance compared to the use of atmospheric air because the temperature variation of river water over the year is relatively small. In this study, the performance of the heat pump system using river water as a heat source was numerically investigated. A simulation model for the 2-stage compression heat pump system was developed with each component model composed of compressors, heat exchangers, a flash tank and electronic expansion devices. The peformance of the heat pump system using river water was improved by $50\%$ compared to that using atmospheric air in winter conditions.

Recently, the use of renewable energy has been increased due to growing concern on the energy-saving at buildings and the reduction of $CO_2$ emission. In the field of architecture, to reduce the energy consumption of heating, cooling and hot water supply, heat pump systems with renewable energy has been developed and used in various applications. However, there have been many of researches on the large-scale commercial heat pump systems, but the research and the field application of a compact heat pump system is rare. Therefore, in order to develop the compact heat pump for the small-scale residential building, this study conducted the performance test and feasibility study for a hybrid heat pump using the heat source of air, solar and ground. In the results of experiments through a trial product, the average COP of cooling mode with ground heat source was 4.75, and it of heating mode was 4.03. Furthermore, the average COP of cooling mode with air heat source was 2.60, and it of heating mode was 2.92. Finally, payback period of the system was calculated as 9.2 years.

20세기에 대두된 HCFC나 CFC계의 냉매들의 환경에의 악영향을 극복하기 위하여 보다 환경 친화적인 이산화탄소와 같은 자연냉매에 대한 관심이 커지고 있다. 겨울철 대기의 열원을 이용하여 증발을 유도하는 이산화탄소 열펌프는 증발기의 온도가 높아 효율이 상대적으로 낮아지고, 130bar가 넘는 고압으로 인하여 열펌프 설비 부품들의 제작의 어려움이 따르게 된다. 본 연구는 보다 낮은 압력의 새로운 2단 팽창식 $CO_2$ 오토 캐스케이드 열펌프를 고안하여 이러한 단점들을 해소하고 보다 효율을 증가시키고자 하였다. 새로운 오토 캐스케이드 열펌프에 2단 팽창방식과 효과적인 냉각방식의 시스템 구성을 하여 혼합냉매인 $CO_2$ 와 R32를 적용하였다. 공정에 고압 70bar, 중간 팽창압은 25bar, 최종 저압은 10bar를 적용하여 해석한 결과, 현재의 오토 캐스케이드 열펌프 공정의 COP는 1.629이었으나, 개선된 중간 압력 25bar의 2단 팽창 오토 캐스케이드 공정은 2.332로 현재의 공정보다 43.15% 향상되었다. 또한 저압측 증발기의 온도도 $-10^{\circ}C$ 이하가 되어 찬 외기에도 증발이 용이하게 발생되는 공정이 되었다. 본 공정이 향후 $CO_2$ 열펌프의 성능계수를 보다 향상시키고 고압에 따른 부품 문제들의 해소에 기여할 수 있는 공정으로 분석되었다.

The experiments were conducted without oil in a closed refrigerant loop which was driven by a magnetic gear pump. The main components of the refrigerant loop are a receiver, a variable-speed pump, a mass flow meter, a pre-heater and evaporator(test section). The test section was made of a horizontal stainless steel tube with the inner diameter of 4.57 mm, and length of 4 m. The experiments were conducted at mass flux of 200 to 700 kg/$m^2s$, saturation temperature of 0$^{circ}C$ to 20$^{circ}C$, and heat flux of 10 to 30 kW/$m^2$. The test results showed the evaporation heat transfer of $CO_2$ has great effect on more nucleate boiling than convective boiling. The evaporation heat transfer coefficients of $CO_2$ are highly dependent on the vapor quality, heat flux and saturation temperature. In comparison with test results and existing correlations, correlations failed to predict the evaporation heat transfer coefficient of $CO_2$, therefore, it is necessary to develop reliable and accurate predictions determining the evaporation heat transfer coefficient of $CO_2$ in a horizontal tube.

Heat pumps have received a fair amount of attention all over the world for their high efficiency and low environmental impact. Employing heat pumps for residential heating and cooling produces only about 2038 kg-$CO_2$/year, an amount which is less than half that of conventional boiler systems. However, the use of single-stage heat pumps becomes uneconomical when they are operated at very low evaporating temperature or high condensing temperature. Two-stage heat pumps systems can be used successfully for low or high temperature applications. In this paper, the experimental study on the performance of two-stage heat pump with an economizer was executed in heating mode. When the secondary fluid inlet temperature to the indoor heat exchanger increased, the COP enhancement rate of two-stage heat pump with an economizer was increased. For all outdoor inlet temperature conditions, the performance of the heat pump with an economizer was higher than it without an economizer.

Geothermal heat pump system has been spotlighted as an efficient building energy system, because it has great potentials for reducing energy in building air conditioning and reducing $CO_2$ emissions. However, higher initial cost is a barrier to the promotion of its use. Energy-pile and energy-slab are known as low cost ground heat exchangers comparing with conventional ground heat exchangers, because they utilize building structures as ground heat exchangers. This paper presents the daily cooling performance of a geothermal heat pump system with energy-pile and energy-slab. The energy-piles and the energy-slabs are connected to heat pump units in parallel. The cooling capacity of the system was nearly constant due to the stability of the ground heat exchangers. The stability of the energy-pile was a little higher than that of the energy-stab as a heat sink.

복합화력발전소 에너지절감 사업으로 폐열회수용 흡수식 히트펌프가 설치됨에 따라 부분부하(Partial Load)에서의 성능 데이터 확인을 위해 성능시험을 실시하였다. 부분 부하에서 히트펌프 가동에 따른 운전 데이터 변화는 다음과 같다. 기기냉각수(CCW) 배열 및 배열회수열교환기(HRSG)로부터 공급되는 저압증기(LP STM)의 일부가 히트펌프의 열원으로 공급되므로 지역난방열 생산이 증대된다. 그러나 증기터빈으로 공급되는 저압증기의 유량감소에 따라 증기터빈 출력이 감소된다. 또한 고압 지역난방열교환기(HP-DH) 및 저압 지역난방열교환기(LP-DH)로 공급되는 고압터빈(HPT) 배기증기의 유량 저하에 따라 HP-DH 및 LP-DH의 열생산량도 감소한다. 부분부하에서는 정격부하 대비 히트펌프에 운전에 따른 터빈 출력 저하가 큰 것으로 나타났으며, 이에 따라 부분 부하에서는 발전소 전체의 열 생산 증가량, 전기출력 감소량을 종합적으로 고려하여 히트펌프 운전 여부를 결정해야 한다.

The evaporative heat transfer coefficient of $CO_2$ (R-744) in a horizontal tube was investigated experimentally. The experiments were conducted without oil in a closed refrigerant loop which was driven by a magnetic gear pump. The main components of the refrigerant loop are a receiver, a variable-speed pump, a mass flow meter, a pre-heater and evaporator (test section). The test section consists of a smooth, horizontal stainless steel tube of inner diameter of 7.75 mm. The experiments were conducted at mass flux of 200 to 500 kg/m$^2$s, saturation temperature of -5 to 5$^{\circ}C$, and heat flux of 10 to 40kW/m$^2$. The test results showed the heat transfer of $CO_2$ has a greater effect on nucleate boiling more than convective boiling. Mass flux of $CO_2$ does not affect nucleate boiling too much, and the effect of mass flux on evaporative heat transfer of $CO_2$ is much smaller than that of refrigerant R-22 and R-134a. In comparison with test results and existing correlations, correlations failed to predict the evaporative heat transfer coefficient of $CO_2$, therefore, it is necessary to develope reliable and accurate predictions determining the evaporative heat transfer coefficient of $CO_2$ in a horizontal tube.

As the consumer market in the eco-friendly vehicle industry grows, the demand for water pump in a electric car parts market. This study intend to propose a mathematical model that can verify the effect of improving thermal properties when a non-conductive cooling filler liquid is introduced into an electric vehicle water pump. Also, the pros and cons of the immersion cooling method and future development way were suggested by analyzing the cooling characteristics using on the derived analysis solution. Thermal characteristics analysis of electric water pump applied with non-conductive filler liquid was carried out, and the diffusion boundary condition in the motor body and the boundary condition the inside pump were expressed as a geometric model. As a result of analyzing the temperature change for the heat source of the natural convection method and the heat conduction method, the natural convection method has difficulty in dissipating heat because no decrease in temperature due to heat release was found even after 300 sec. Also, it can be seen that the heat dissipation effect was obtained even though the non-conductive filling liquid was applied at the 120 sec and 180 sec in the heat conduction method. It has proposed to minimize thermal embrittlement and lower motor torque by injecting a non-conductive filler liquid into the motor body and designing a partition wall thickness of 2.5 mm or less.

To reduce energy consumption and CO₂ emission in building sector, a ground source heat pump system has been highly adopted due to its high efficient by many regulation. A certification system has been operated to distribute reliable and high-efficient heat pump units. In this study, the performance status of the recently certified ground source heat pump unit with components was investigated. All heat pump units certified from 2015 to 2020 were water to water heat pump types. Compared to the past, higher capacity systems over 400 kW have been certificed. The cooling COP of the heat pump unit based on certification criteria showed higher value than the heating COP. It is highly recommended to revise the certified criteria values considering operating conditions individually. Most of ground source heat pump units have employed scroll type compressors and plate type heat exchangers with HFC refrigerant.
