The objective of this study is to investigate cooling performance characteristics of mobile air conditioning system using R744 as an alternative of R-134a. In order to analyze the cooling performance characteristics of the air conditioning system using R744 for a passenger vehicle, the developed air conditioning system using R744 was applied in a real passenger vehicle and tested under various operating conditions with the variation of gas-cooler inlet air conditions, evaporator inlet air temperatures and compressor speeds. As a result, cooling capacity and coefficient of performance (COP) of the tested air conditioning system decreased with the rise of the inlet air temperature of the gas cooler but increased with the rise of the inlet air temperature of the evaporator. In addition, cooling capacity and coefficient of performance (COP) increased by 42.2 % with the rise of the compressor speed from 900 rev/min to 1800 rev/min, but it decreased by 55.4%.

In the present study, the cooling performance characteristics on environment changes of A/C applied fin-tube and PF heat exchangers were experimentally investigated. Capacity and COP on an air velocity, an indoor/outdoor temperature and an indoor/outdoor relative humidity were obtained. Fin types of PF heat exchanger were a triangler and squarer form. The experimental data for the three kinds of heat exchangers were measured using the air-enthalpy calorimeter. Performance of PF A/C was more excellent than that of a fin-tube A/C. Also, the performance of PF-2 A/C with the squarer fin was more excellent than that of PF-1 A/C with the triangler fin. As the air velocity, the indoor temperature and the indoor relative humidity increase, capacity and COP increase. And as outdoor temperature increases, capacity and COP decrease. But, the performance change on the outdoor relative humidity was insignificant.

In the present study, the heat transfer characteristics of the fin-tube and PF heat exchangers and the performances of the air-conditioner are experimentally investigated. Also, Cooling Seasonal Performance Factor(CSPF) of the air-conditioner is evaluated. For the heat exchanger experiment, the heat transfer and pressure drop are obtained. For the air-conditioner experiment, the cooling capacity, input power and COP are obtained. The air-enthalpy calorimeter and the constant temperature water bath are used. As the inlet air velocity increases, the heat transfer rate and pressure drop of the heat exchanger increased. PF heat exchanger has smaller refrigerant weight and larger capacity and COP than the fin-tube heat exchanger. The performance of PF-2 heat exchanger with the squarer fin is more excellent than that of PF-1 heat exchanger with the triangler fin. Also, CSPF of the fm -tube and PF heat exchanger is evaluated.

본 연구에서는 공조용 실외기의 고효율화 및 소형화를 위해 응축기로 사용되고 있는 핀-관 열교환기를 동일한 전면면적의 PF 열교환기로 변경하여 성능변화 및 특성을 조사하였다. 이를 위해 3종의 PF 열교환기를 적용하여 공조기의 성능을 비교평가 하였다. 실험은 공기 엔탈피식 칼로리미터에서 공조기의 냉방능력과 소비전력을 측정하여 COP를 계산하였다. PF 열교환기를 적용한 경우에 핀-관 열교환기보다 냉방능력은 증가하고 소비전력은 감소하여 COP가 향상되었다. PF 열교환기의 핀 피치가 클수록 냉방능력과 COP는 감소하였다.

Cooling air-conditioning of APC (Agricultural Products processing Center) workplace is important to improve the working environment in the summer season. As existing cooling systems for air-conditioning of whole workplace are inefficient because of their high equipment operating costs, relatively inexpensive cooling system is required. The objectives of this study were to simulate the thermal flow fields in APC workplace having the positive and negative pressure type fan and pad systems and spot cooling system by using CFD software (FLUENT, 6.2) and estimate the cooling effectiveness of respective cooling systems. The results showed that the negative pressure type fan and pad system was inappropriate for the present APC workplace because of excessive outside air influx from open gateway and the positive pressure type fan and pad system created relatively low temperature field but non-uniform velocity field at worker positions. The spot cooling system could supply cool air to worker positions with relatively constant air velocity and temperature.

The hybrid air-conditioner, where air is cooled both by convection and radiation, is developed. The indoor unit of the air-conditioner consists of radiation panel and dehumidification coil, where refrigeration R-134a is supplied by independent refrigeration cycles. Optimum refrigerant charge was 750g for both cycles. Optimum evaporation pressure was 3.7 bar for the radiation panel cycle and 3.9 bar for the dehumidification cycle. The cooling capacity of the radiation panel was 1.01 kW and that of the dehumidification coil was 0.94kW, which yielded COP of 3.3.

This paper presents the system design process of district community cooling system using LNG cold energy. The newly developed LNG cooling system includes several heat exchangers, LNG storage tank, thermal mass storage tank, several cold energy storage tanks, gas air-conditioners, compressors, constant pressure regulators, cold energy and hot energy supply pipes. In addition, the gas air-conditioner system is installed to supply not sufficient cold energy due to low level of city gas consumptions during a summer period. This system design is very effective and safe to supply cold energy mass of fresh air by exchanging two thermal masses of an air and 200kcal/kg cold energy of LNG. The district community cooling system with LNG cold energy does not produce CO2 and freon gases in the air.
