For the liquid rocket propulsion system using liquid oxygen as oxidizer, helium for pressurizing LOX is usually stored in the LOX tank with cryogenic temperature. For that kind of pressurizing system, cryogenic helium is discharged from the immerged pressurant cylinder and passes through the heat exchanger downstream of gas generator. During the process, helium pressurant is heated from cryogenic temperature to high one and supplied to the ullage of propellant tank. To develop the pressurizing system, a cryogenic heating apparatus is needed to simulate the heat exchanger. In this paper, the cryogenic heating apparatus for development of the pressurization system is presented along with its heating test results with cryogenic helium.

An AHX(Accumulator Heat eXchanger) consists of a commercial accumulator and an inner heat exchanger located inside of the accumulator. The AHX is used in multi air-conditioners to assure the liquid-phase refrigerant entering into the expansion device. This purpose is achieved by heat transfer between the refrigerant leaving the evaporator and the refrigerant leaving the condenser. In this study, the effects of AHX on the performance of a refrigeration system using H-22 were measured and the test results were analyzed. The operating characteristics of the refrigeration system with the installation of AHX were quite different from those without the installation of AHX. Therefore, it is required to find an optimum refrigerant charging amount and optimum operating conditions, when AHX is installed in the refrigeration system with an fixed area expansion device such as a capillary tube.

The applications of multi air-conditioners into multiplex and high-rise buildings have been increased by replacing central air-conditioning systems. The pipe length and altitude difference between the indoor and outdoor units can be increased based on installation conditions, which may increase the possibility of flash gas generation at the expansion device inlet. The flash gas generation causes rapid reduction of refrigerant flow rate passing through the expansion device, yielding lower system efficiency. Accumulator heat exchangers have been widely used in multi air-conditioners in order to minimize flash gas generation and obtain system reliability. However, the studies on the heat transfer characteristics and pressure drops of accumulator heat exchangers are very limited in open literature. In this study, the heat transfer rates and pressure drops of accumulator heat exchangers were measured with refrigerant flow rate and operating conditions by using R-22. The heat transfer rate increased with the increase of refrigerant flow rate, while subcooling decreased. The heat transfer rate enhanced with the reduction of inlet superheat and subcooling due to the increased temperature difference between the accumulator and inner heat exchanger.

2 Types of heater (Vitiated Type, Clean Air Type) in order to increase the temperature for a test are used for industry. In this report, large capacity clean air type heater was designed. Heater capacity and LNG consumption rate can be calculated by the air mass flow and heater inlet/outlet temperature. The heater is composed by Burner, Furnace, Heat Exchanger, and Stack. The hot air from the burner and cold air from the tube inlet exchange their heat indirectly in the heat exchanger, so the desired temperature can be achieved at the exit of the tube.

The pool water management system, which is installed for purification of the coolant in the pools and the primary cooling system of a research reactor, removes the decay heat from the reactor core when the primary cooling system stops. It also removes the heat generated from the irradiated objects in the service pool and the spent fuels in the spent fuel storage pool to keep the temperature of the pools within a limited value. In this study, the heat exchanger of the pool water management system is designed by CFD method using a commercial code Flowmaster, and the temperature of the pools is estimated along the time to conclude the design and operation method of the pool water management system.

The operating characteristics of the refrigeration system with the AHX are considerably different from those without the AHX. Therefore, it is required to determine optimum refrigerant charge and optimum operating conditions when the AHX is used in the refrigeration system having a constant flow-area expansion device such as capillary tube.

이 연구의 목적은 액정법을 이용하여 주름형상 판형 열 교환기에서의 내부유동과 열 전달 성능의 특성을 파악하는데 있으며 공기를 작동유체로 사용하였다. 과거에는 실험이 주로 판형 열 교환기의 입·출구에서의 열 전달 성능에만 관심이 집중되었다. 그러나 이 실험에서는 액정법을 이용하여 판형열교환기 셀 표면 위에서의 국소 누셀트수의 분포를 연구하였다. 레이놀즈수가 증가할수록 열 전달 성능은 증가하였으나 마찰계수는 감소하였다. 주름각이 증가할수록 열 전달 성능과 마찰계수는 모두 증가하였다. 국소 누셀트수 분포로부터 열 전달이 잘 일어나는 부분은 주름을 타고 넘어 들어온 두 유동이 만나는 곳이며 또한, 셀의 가운데 부분은 셀의 수직단면적이 커서 셀 표면과 유동의 접촉이 약하므로 작은 누셀트수를 가지는 것을 알 수 있다.

The component cooling water heat exchangers are critical components in a nuclear power plant. As the operation years of the heat exchanger go by, the maintenance costs required for continuous operation also increase. Most heat exchangers have carbon steel shells, tube support plates and flow baffles. The titanium tube is susceptible to flow induced vibration. The damage on carbon steel tube support rod and titanium tube around cooling water entrance area is inevitable. Therefore, analysis of internal flow around the component cooling water entrance and tube channel is a good opportunity to seek for failure prevention practice and maintenance method. The numerical study was carried out by FLUENT code to find out the causes of tube failure and its location.

Room Air Conditioner(이하 RAC) 실내기는 열교환기, Cross Flow Fan(이하 CFF), 곡률, Stabilizer(이하 STB) 등 여러 설계인자가 소음, 풍량 및 압력 등에 상호 복합적으로 연성(Coupled)되어 있어 각 인자가 성능에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 밝혀 내기가 쉽지 않다. 따라서 RAC 실내기의 고성능 및 저소음화를 실현하기 위해서는 실내기를 구성하는 각 인자간의 상호 관련성 및 각 인자가 소음.성능 등에 미치는 영향을 체계적으로 분석하는 것이 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 설계인자중 소음 및 풍량에 민감한 영향을 주는 STB 위치 및 형상 등에 관하여 자세히 다루고자 한다. STB위치의 적절한 범위를 설정하기 위해 Laser Doppler Velicitimeter(이하 LDV)를 이용하여 곡률별 실내기 내부의 유속분포 및 속도 벡터를 측정하였고, CFF내부 Vortex의 정확한 위치를 찾아냈다. 또한 실내기 저소음화를 위한 소음원 규명 측면에서 실내기 내부의 난류도와 관련하여 속도 Fluctuation을 정의하고, 실험을 통해 구하였다.
