An experimental study on performance characteristics of an evaporative heat exchanger based on tests for various operating conditions was presented. The heat exchanger maximizes the heat transfer rate per unit volume by applying mini-channels for both the air and coolant flow paths, and minimizes the amount of the coolant by using its latent heat of evaporation. The heat exchanger was manufactured by etching the flow paths, brazing the heat exchange plates, and welding the in/out ports of the media. The basic performance test has confirmed that the heat exchanger met its design requirements, and the results of the map test were analyzed to produce the performance characteristics quantitatively depending on the air inlet temperature, the air flow rate, and the coolant flow rate.

In this paper, the liquid air was selected as the refrigerant in artificial ground freezing to be used for rapid ground freezing and to reduce the risk of suffocation and the applicability of liquid air was verified. In order to evaluate the stability of the liquid air, the oxygen concentration of mixtures with liquid nitrogen and liquid oxygen was experimentally examined to meet the oxygen concentration criteria in the Occupational Safety and Health Act. In addition, the effects of the mixture ratio of liquid nitrogen and liquid oxygen, pressure and flow rate change in the storage vessel on the oxygen concentration in the liquid air were investigated. As a result, the ratio of liquid nitrogen and liquid oxygen 8: 2 was shown to meet the oxygen concentration standards. Pressure and flow rate change in the storage vessel did not have significant effects on the oxygen concentration in the liquid air.

반도체 생산의 주요 공정 중 하나인 세정 공정은 공정 중 발생하는 여러 가지 부산물에 의한오염을 효과적으로 제거하여 수율 향상에 큰 영향을 미친다. 현재 주로 쓰이는 세정 공정은 습식 세정 공정으로 화학 약품을 이용하지만 패턴 손상 및 웨이퍼 대구경화에 따른 문제 등이 대두되어 이를 대체할 세정 공정의 도입이 요구되고 있다. 이에 따라 건식 세정에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있으며 에어로졸 세정이 대표적 공정으로 개발 되었으나 마이크로 단위의 발생 에어로졸 입경으로 인해 패턴 손상 문제를 해결하지 못하였다. 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위하여 응축에 의해 형성되는 입자 크기를 줄이는 것에 관한 연구가 진행되어 왔고, 대응 방안으로 개발된 것이 가스 클러스터 세정이다. 가스 클러스터란 작동 기체의 분자가 수십, 수백 개 뭉쳐있는 형태 (cluster)를 뜻하며 이 때 형성된 클러스터는 수 nm 크기를 가진다. 그리고 짧은 시간의 응축에 의해 수십 nm 크기까지 성장하게 된다. 즉, 입자로 성장할 수 있는 시간과 환경을 형성하지 않음으로써 작은 크기의 클러스터에 의해 패턴 사이의 오염물질을 물리적으로 제거하고 다시 기체상 물질로 환원되어 부산물을 남기지 않는 공정이다. 이러한 작동 환경을 조성하기 위해서는 진공도와 노즐 출구 속도에 대한 설계 단계부터의 이론적 연구를 통한 입자 크기 예측과 세정 조건에 따라서 발생하는 클러스터의 크기 분포 특성을 측정하는 것이 필수적이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 실시간 저압 환경에서의 측정이 가능하며, 다양한 크기의 입자를 실시간으로 측정할 수 있는 particle beam mass spectrometer (PBMS)를 이용하여 세정 공정 중 발생하는 클러스터의 크기 분포를 측정하는 연구를 수행하였다. 클러스터의 측정은 노즐에 유입되는 유량과 냉매 온도를 변수로 하여 수행하였다. 각각의 조건에 따라서 최빈값은 오차범위 내에서 일정한 것을 확인하였으며, 50 nm 이하의 값으로 가스 클러스터 공정이 패턴 손상 없이 오염입자를 제거할 수 있음을 실험적으로 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 유량의 증가에 따라 세정에 사용되는 클러스터의 입경이 증가하며, 냉매 온도가 낮아질수록 클러스터 입경이 증가하는 경향을 확인할 수 있었다. 클러스터 크기는 오염 입자와의 충돌에 의해 작용하는 힘으로 오염입자를 제거하는 메커니즘을 사용하는 가스 클러스터 세정 장치에 있어 중요성이 크다 할 수 있으며 추후 지속적 연구에 의한 세정 기술의 최적화가 기대된다.

To investigate the effect of oil on evaporation heat transfer of plate heat exchanger, evaporation heat transfer experiment was carried out using experimental apparatus for micro gear pumped R134a-oil circulation. By varying oil circulation rate of POE oil from 0 to 5%, evaporation heat transfer performance of plate heat exchanger was investigated. As OCR(Oil Circulation Ratio) increases, the evaporation heat transfer coefficient of R134a decreases and pressure drop increases. When the evaporating temperature is $30^{\circ}C$ and the refrigerant mass flow rate is 80 g/s, evaporation heat transfer rate decreases by 10 % and pressure drop increases by 10% at 2% of OCR condition.

The present study investigated the two-phase flow characteristics of refrigerant R-22 in T-branch with horizontal and vertical inlet tube The key experimental parameters were the orientation of inlet and branch tubes (horizontal and vertical), diameter ratio of branch tube to inlet tube (1 and 0.61), inlet mass flux (200~500 kg/$m^2$s) and inlet quality (0.1~0.4). Predicted pressure profile agreed with the measured data within 25.4%. The flow distribution ratio decreased as the mass flux increased. The flow distribution ratio decreased by 12~25% as the tube diameter ratio decreased from 1 to 0.61, and decreased by 38~47% as the orientation of branch changed from horizontal to vertical upward for horizontal inlet tubes. As the orientation of inlet tube changed from horizontal to vertical upward for horizontal branch, the flow distribution ratio increased by 15~68%, but the quality in the branch tube decreased by 28~92% due to phase separation.

In this study, the performance of mobile air conditioner(MAC) systems to which the refrigerants R134a and R1234yf were used was evaluated to compare the characteristic of automotive refrigeration cycles with refrigerant. The experimental setup of a MAC consists of an belt driven compressor, a condenser, an evaporator and a block type thermal expansion valve. The drop-in test on MAC were carried out under variable compressor speed from 800 to 2500 rpm. Performance test by using R1234yf and R134a in the same system revealed low the charge amount and mass flow rates for using R1234yf, that is, up to 10% and 17%, respectively. The compressor discharge temperature of R1234yf is $8^{\circ}C$ lower than that of R134a. The cooling capacity with R1234yf system decreased by 4~7% compared with R134a system. In addition, The COP of R1234yf system is lower 3~4% than that of R134a system.

A lot of research is being done to develop a high-efficiency heat pump to save energy. Among them, research to reduce or eliminate the phenomenon of frost occurring in the outdoor unit coil are being conducted at the same time. A constant temperature chamber that can be tested under the same conditions as natural conditions was constructed to conduct research that does not cause frost on the outdoor unit of the heat pump regardless of the season. The outdoor unit of the heat pump installed in the constant temperature chamber was simulated under the same natural conditions. As a result, it was confirmed that the mass flow rate of the refrigerant decreased as the outdoor temperature decreased, and the dryness of the refrigerant also increased linearly with the outdoor temperature.
