An experimental study to investigate the condensing heat transfer characteristics of small diameter horizontal double pipe heat exchangers with R-22 and R-410A was performed. Experimental facility was constructed to calculate and observe HTC(heat transfer coefficients), flow patterns and pressure drop. The main components include a liquid pump, an evaporator, a condenser(test section), a sight-glass, pressure taps and measurement apparatus. Two pipes of different diameters are tested; One 5.35 mm ID 0.5 mm thick, the other 3.36 mm ID 0.7 mm thick. The mass flow rate ranged from 200 to $500\;ks/m^2{\cdot}s$ and heating capacity were form 1.0 to 2.4 kW. The flow patterns of R-22 and R-410A were observed with a high speed camera through the sight-glass. The tests revealed that HTC of R-410A was higher than that of R-22 by maximum 5%. Annular pattern was observed for the most cases but stratified flow was also detected when x<0.2. The pressure drop in 3.36 mm ID pipe was higher than that of 5.35 mm by $30{\sim}50%$. Comparing with previous correlations such as Shah, Fujii and Soliman's, Fujii' showed the best good agreement with my data with a maximum deviation of 40%.

R22 대체냉매로 R410A를 사용하는 가정용 분리형 에어컨의 성능을 향상시키기 위한 연구를 실험적으로 수행하였다. R22 시스템에서 냉매와 압축기의 오일만 교체할 경우 기본시스템에 비해 냉방능력은 17% 증가하였고 에너지 소비효율은 29% 감소하였다. 이를 해결하기 위해 고압냉매 R410A에 적합한 압축기와 시스템의 효율을 향상시키기 위한 고효율 응축기를 개발하였다. R410A 압축기와 고효율 응축기를 R410A 시스템에 적용할 경우 냉방능력과 효율이 R22 시스템에 비해 각각 1.8% 와 2.2% 증가하였으며, 소음도 R22 시스템과 동등한 수준을 나타내었다.

In this study, performance of R410A(50%R32/50%R125) and HFC32/HFC125 mixture is measured to examine the effect of composition shift of R410A used for various air-conditioners and heat pumps. The composition of HFC32/HFC125 mixture varies from the reference composition of R410A ${\pm}10%$ with 5% interval. Tests carried out in a heat pump bench tester at the evaporation and condensation temperatures of $7/45^{\circ}C$ and $-7/41^{\circ}C$ for summer and winter conditions, respectively. Test results show that both the coefficient of performance (COP) and compressor power of the HFC32/HFC125 mixture have the maximum difference of 2.0% as compared to those of R410A. Compressor discharge temperatures of HFC32/HFC125 mixture are increased up to $6.7^{\circ}C$ as compared to that of R410A. The amount of charge for HFC32/HFC125 mixture vary within 5.6% as compared to that of R410A. Overall, performance of R410A is not appreciably affected by the composition shift of ${\pm}10%$ of R32 under both air-conditioning and heat pumping conditions.

R410A and R407C are considered to be alternative refrigerants to R22 for the air-conditioners. Experimental investigation is made to study the condensation heat transfer characteristics of slit fin-tube heat exchanger using alternative refrigerants R410A and R407C. R407C, a non-azeotropic refrigerant mixture, exhibited a quite different condensation phenomenon from those of R22 and R410A and its condensation heat transfer coefficient was much lower than that of R22 and R410A. Between the R22 and R410A, the condensation heat transfer coefficient of R410A, near-azeotropic refrigerant mixture, was a little higher than that of R22. R410A also showed the lowest condensation pressure drop across the test section. For all refrigerants, the condensation heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop increase as the mass flux increases.

Experiments have been conducted in order to make comparisons of a alternative refrigerant (R-410A) cycle characteristic with an existing refrigerant (R-22) cycle characteristic in terms of cooling capacity and coefficient of performance (COP). The parameters examined in the present work include air flow rate, indoor/outdoor air temperatures, and indoor relative humidity. These two refrigeration cycles share all components except compressor, accumulator, oil separator, and piping connecting them. The measurements were made using an air-enthalpy calorimeter. The experimental results show that the R-410A cycle has many advantages over indoor conditions while the R-22 cycle has better performance over outdoor conditions.

R410a which is one of HFC refrigerants is being considered to be a promising replacement for R22 widely used in domestic air conditioners. The rolling piston type rotary compressors for R410a have lower energy efficiency than those for R22 because of the high pressure difference between a suction chamber and a discharge chamber in the compression mechanism. in addition, the re-expansion gas loss of the rotary compressor for R410a which occurs a ta clearance volume in a discharge port becomes larger than that for R22 due to high density of R410a refrigerant. Therefore, Pressure-Volume analyses for various design parameters of a discharge system were carried out to improve efficiency of a R410a rotary compressor. The results such as performance dta, over-compression loss, and re-expansion loss were acquired by P-V analyses and analyzed quantitatively. As a conclusion, the optimal specifications of several design parameters of a discharge system were obtained by analyzing P-V diagrams.

지구의 오존층을 보호하기 위한 몬트리올 의정서가 1987년 채택된 이후 오존층 파괴물질의 사용이 점차 감소되고 있다. 선진국의 경우 1995년 말부터 CFC냉매의 생산을 전폐하였고, HCFC냉매의 경우는 2020년 전폐를 목표로 대체냉매를 이용한 응용 기술개발 및 제품 생산이 진행되고 있다. 가정용 냉장고 및 차량용 에어컨에는 R-12의 대체냉매로 R-134a가 도입되었으며, 유럽을 중심으로 냉장고에는 HC계 냉매인 R-600a도 대체냉매로 사용되고 있다. 가정용 에어컨에는 혼합냉매인 R-407c 와 R-410a가 R-22 냉매를 대체하여 적용되고 있다. 그러나 현재, CFC및 HCFC 대체 냉매로 많이 사용되고 있는 HFC계 냉매도 지구 온난화 지수가 대단히 큰 문제를 가지고 있다. 1997년 채택된 교토의 정서에는 HFC계 냉매가 온실효과가 가스 배출규제물질에 포함되어 있다. 이에 따라서 오존층의 파괴지수가 영이고 지구온난화지수도 거의 없는 자연냉매가 주목을 받게 되었으며, 자연 냉매의 하나인 이산화탄소 ($CO_2$R744) 냉매의 응용기술 및 제품개발 연구가 선진국을 중심으로 폭넓게 진행되고 잇다. 본고에서는 $CO_2$냉매의 일반적인 특성을 간단히 소개하고 일본에서 진행되고 있는 $CO_2$냉매를 적용한 급탕시스템의 제품개발 및 시장현황에 대해서 기술하기로 한다.

This paper presents two-phase condensation heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of R32 and R454B as an alternative refrigerant to R410A in a 9.52 mm OD microfin tube. The test facility has a straight, horizontal test section with an active length of 2.0 m and is cooled by cold water circulated in a surrounding annular space. The heat transfer coefficients of the annular space were obtained using the modified Wilson plot method. Average condensation heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop data are presented at the condensation temperature of 35℃ for the range of mass flux 100-400 kg/m²s. The average condensation heat transfer coefficients of R32 refrigerant are 35-47% higher than R410A at the mass flux considered in the study, while R454B data are similar to R410A. The average pressure drop of R32 and R454B are much higher than R410A and they are 134-224% and 151-215% of R410A, respectively. R32 and R454B have relatively low GWP and high heat transfer characteristics, so they are suitable as alternatives for R410A.
