The goal of this paper is to measure and compare the performance of solar heat pump for school classroom heating. To accomplish the goal, solar heat pump with alumium roll bond type evaporator and indoor heat exchanger(condenser) was built and fully instrumented with thermocouples and pressure transducers etc. The test results showed that the COP and capacity of R-134a($CF_3CH_2F$) were higher than those of R-12($CF_2Cl_2$). The solar heat pump system for room heating was designed to show the best efficiency that the room temperature make $18{\sim}20^{\circ}C\;and\;23{\sim}25^{\circ}C$ in Seoul during November, December, and January.

In this study, thermodynamic performance of R430A is examined both numerically and experimentally in an effort to replace HFC134a used in the refrigeration system of domestic water purifiers. Even though HFC134a is used predominantly in such a system these days, it needs to be phased out in the near future in Europe and most of the developed countries due to its high global warming potential. To solve this problem, cycle simulation and experimental measurements are carried out with a new refrigerant mixture of 76%R152a124% R600a using actual domestic water purifiers. This mixture is numbered and listed as R430A by ASHRAE recently. Test results show that the system performance with R430A is greatly influenced by the amount of charge due to the small internal volume of the refrigeration system of the domestic water purifiers. With the optimum amount of charge of 21 to 22 grams, about 50% of HFC134a, the energy consumption of R430A is 13.4% lower than that of HFC 134a. The compressor dome and discharge temperatures and condenser center temperature of R430A are very similar to those of HFC134a at the optimum charge. Overall, R430A, a new long term environmentally safe refrigerant, is a good alternative for HFC134a requiring little change in the refrigeration system of the domestic water purifiers.

냉동공조설비, 발전설비, 화학플랜트설비 등에 사용되는 응축기는 주로 증기가 관의 외부에서 응축을 하고 냉각수가 관 내부로 흐르는 쉘-튜브(shell and tube)형 태를 취하고 있다. 초기투자비용 및 운전비용을 줄이기 위해서는 응축기의 열교환 성능을 향상시키는 일이 필수적이며 이를 위해 코팅 표면(coated surfaces), 거친 표면(rough surfaces), 코일 튜브(coiled tubes), 선회 흐름장치(swirl flow), 전열면적을 넓힌 낮은 핀관과 3차원 형상을 갖는 열전달 촉진관의 사용이 제시되고 있다.

This paper reports the experimental results on heat transfer characteristics of R-22 and R-407C(HFC-32/125/134a 23/25/52 wt%) condensing inside horizontal smooth and finned tubes. The test condensers used In the study are double pipe heat exchangers of 7.5 mm ID, 9.5 mm OD smooth tube, and 60 finned micro-fin tube with 8.53 mm ID, 9.53 mm OD. Each of these tubes was 4 000 mm long tubes connected with an U-bend. These U type two-path test tubes are divided In 8 local test sections for the identification of the local condensing heat transfer characterisitcs and pressure drop, U-bend effects on condensing flows. Inlet quality is maintained 1.0, and refrigerant mass velocity is varied from 102.0 to $301.0kg/m^2{\cdot}s$. From the results, it was found that the pressure drop of the R-407C Increased, and heat transfer coefficient decreased compared to those of R-22. In comparison condensing heat transfer characteristics of micro-fm tube with those of smooth tube, increasing of condensing heat transfer coefficient was found outstanding compared to the increasing ratio of pressure drop. Furthermore, pressure drop In U-bend showed at most a 30 % compared to the total pressure drop in the test section.

The experimental apparatus has been set-up as a conventional vapor compression type heat pump system. The test section is a horizontal double pipe heat exchanger. A tube diameter of 12.70 mm, 9.52 mm, 6.35 mm with 1.78 mm,1.52 mm,1.4 mm wall thickness each is used for this investigation. The local evaporating heat transfer coefficients of hydrocarbon refrigerants were superior to that of R-22. and the maximum increasing rate of heat transfer coefficient was found in R-1270. The average evaporating heat transfer coefficient increased with the increase of the mass velocity and it showed the higher values in hydrocarbon refrigerants than R-22. The highest evaporating heat transfer coefficient of all refrigerants was shown in a tube diameter of 6.35 mm with same mass flux.
