The objective of this study was to investigate the cooling performance characteristics of a hybrid refrigeration system in a heavy duty vehicle. The tested hybrid refrigeration system had additionally an electric compressor besides the present mechanical compressor for selective use according to the operating conditions. The applied electric compressor was a scroll type and with 18.0 cc displacement. In order to analyze the performance characteristics of the hybrid refrigeration system with respect to the cooling capacity and Coefficient of Performance (COP), other components, including two different types of compressors, were installed and tested under various operating conditions such as compressor speed and air flow rate of the evaporator. When the electric compressor was operated at 4,500 rev/min, the cooling capacity was about 4.0kW and COP was 3.5. When the mechanical compressor was operated, whereas the cooling capacity was higher than the electric controlled compressor, COP was lower due to the larger displacement and higher power consumption. To analyze the hybrid system operating characteristics due to reasonable cooling capacity with electric compressor operation, the mechanical compressor and electric compressor were operated by turns every 10 minutes under certain system operating conditions. Because surge pressure occurred when both compressors were switched on, the operating strategy required some time to balance the system pressure.

A dynamic simulation program may be used for the development of effective control algorithms for the ice storage cooling system. Simplified effective dynamic models for an ice-on-coil type storage tank, a screw chiller, a water-to-air heat exchanger, three way valves, pipes, pumps, temperature sensors, and controllers were developed. And a dynamic simulation program for the ice storage cooling system was developed by using these dynamic models. Control algorithms for the full storage system were also selected and analyzed in order to show the effectiveness of these models. From the simulation results, it may be concluded that the simulation program developed in this study can be effectively used for the development of improved control algorithms for the ice storage cooling system.

Effects of the open level of the side window were studied to control the temperature and relative humidity in the fog cooling greenhouse. The greenhouse was cooled by air atomizing spray nozzles of the air and water two-fluid process. The control process includes the measuring of environmental variables, setting and coding of the water balance equations and heat balance in greenhouse, calculating of the roof window open and spray water, and operating of the motor and pump. The target temperature and relative humidity were set at $28^{\circ}C$, 75%, respectively. The three modes of the side window open level were 0%, 50% and 100%. The average dry bulb temperatures of the inside air were 28.2, 27.2 and $26.3^{\circ}C$, respectively and their standard deviation was ranged from $0.4^{\circ}C$to $0.8^{\circ}C$. Also the relative humidity of the 0% mode was the best controlled one with the average of 76.3% and the standard deviation of 2.1%.

The cooling load in winter is significant in many commercial buildings and hotels because of the usage of office equipments and the high efficiency of wall insulation. The development of a multi-heat pump that can cover heating and cooling simultaneously for each indoor unit is required. In this study, the performance of a multi-heat pump with 3-piping system was investigated as a function of refrigerant charge and its performance was analyzed in cooling mode, heating mode, and heat recovery mode. COP in the heating or cooling mode showed little dependence on refrigerant charge at overcharge conditions, while those were strongly dependent on refrigerant charge at undercharge conditions and outdoor inlet temperature. In the heat recovery mode, the performance of the system was very sensitive to charge amount at all conditions. Optimum charge amount in the heat recovery mode was 14% lower than that in the cooling mode at the standard condition because the refrigerant only passed the indoor units. It is required to store the excessive refrigerant charge in a storage tank to optimize the system performance at operating modes.

현재까지 대부분의 지열원 열펌프 시스템에 관한 연구는 열펌프 유닛과 지중열교환기에 대해 개별적으로 수행되었으며, 열펌프 유닛과 지중열교환기 설계 및 최적화의 공통변수인 지중순환수 유량에 따른 시스템 전체에 대한 연구성과는 매우 미미한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 현재 국내에서 인증되어 보급되고 있는 물매물 지열원 열펌프 유닛의 성능 자료를 분석하고, 지중순환수 유량 변화에 따른 물대물 열펌프 유닛의 성능 실험 및 지중열교환기 형상에 관한 설계 및 분석을 수행하여 지열원 열펌프 시스템 최적화에 관한 기반 기술 확보하고자 하였다. 현재 국내의 물대물 지열원 열펌프 유닛의 냉방 및 난방 조건에서의 최소 인증 COP는 각각 4.1과 3.45이다. 다양한 용량 및 성능을 갖는 국내 인증 물대물 지열원 열펌프 유닛에 대한 정량적 성능 분석을 위하여 3.5kW(1RT) 용량당의 지중순환수 유량과 COP를 고찰하였다. 냉방운전시 3.5kW 단위 용량당 열펌프 유닛의 지중순환수 유량은 10.73에서 18.52LPM을 나타냈으며, 난방운전에는 10.41에서 18.16LPM을 나타냈다. 이때, 냉방 COP는 4.1에서 5.4의 값을 나타냈으며, 난방 COP는 각각 3.5에서 4.2를 나타냈다. 인증 열펌프 유닛에서 지중순환수 유량과 열펌프 유닛의 냉난방 성능은 일정한 경향성을 나타내지 않았다. 지중순환수 유량에 따른 지열원 열펌프 유닛과 시스템의 성능을 정량적으로 분석하고자 지중순환수 유량 변화에 따른 물대물 지열원 열펌프 유닛 성능 실험을 수행하고 이를 기반으로 지중열교환기를 설계 및 분석하였다. 냉난방 각 운전모드에서 ISO 13256-2 규격과 NRGT 101 규격을 기준으로 지중순환수와 부하측 유량 6LPM 에서 36LPM 사이에서 변화시키며 성능 실험을 수행하였다. 냉방 및 난방모드 모두 유량이 증가함에 따라 열펌프 유닛 COP가 증가하였으나, 유량 증가에 따른 열펌프 유닛 COP 증가율은 감소하였다. 지중순환수 유량이 18LPM 이상에서는 COP 상승폭은 미소하였다. 기존문헌의 부하 산정자료와 열펌프 유닛 실험 성능 데이터를 이용하여 지식경제부 고시 2009-332호에 준하여 수직밀폐형 지중열교환기를 설계하고 순환펌프 소요동력을 이용하여 시스템 COP를 분석하였다. 지중열교환기 설계 시 국내에서 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 상용지중열교환기 설계프로그램인 GLD 프로그램을 사용하였다. 지중순환수와 부하측 2차 유체 유량 증가 시에 열펌프 유닛 COP 증가율 대비 시스템 COP 증가율은 감소하였으며, 난방모드에서는 일정 유량 이상에서는 열펌프 유닛 COP는 증가하였으나, 시스템 COP는 감소하였다. 또한, 지중순환수 유량 증가에 따라 지중열교환기 길이가 증가하였으며, 냉난방시의 지중열교환기 길이차이가 증가하였다. 지열원 열펌프 시스템의 고효율화 및 시공비 절감을 통한 경제성 확보를 위해서는 지열원 열펌프 유닛 성능과 지중열교환기 형상 공통 변수인 지중순환수 유량을 함께 고려하여 시스템을 설계하여야한다.

Energy foundations and other thermo-active ground structure, energy wells, energy slab, and pavement heating and cooling represent an innovative technology that contributes to environmental protection and provides substantial long-term cost savings and minimized maintenance. This paper focuses on earth-contact concrete elements that are already required for structural reasons, but which simultaneously work as heat exchangers. Pipes, energy slabs, filled with a heat carrier fluid are installed under conventional structural elements, forming the primary circuit of a geothermal energy system. The natural ground temperature is used as a heat source in winter and heat sink in summer season. The system represented very high heating and cooling performance due to the stability of EWT from energy slab. Maximum heat pump unit COP and system COP were 4.9 and 4.3.

Numerical prediction methods were applied to investigate the turbulent air currents and air-conditioning efficiency in an underground subway station, and the results compared to experimental data. The Shin-gumho Station($8^{th}$ floor underground and 43.6m in depth) in Seoul was selected for the analysis. The entire station was covered for simulation and the ventilation mode was ordinary. The ventilation diffusers were modeled as 95 square shapes of $0.6m{\times}0.6m$ in the lobby and as 222 square shapes in the platform. Cooling air of $47,316m^3/h$ was supplied and the returned air of $33,980m^3/h$ is exhausted in the lobby and the cooling air of $33,968m^3/h$ is supplied and the returned air of $76,190m^3/h$ was exhausted in the platform which is the same as the experimental data. The cases of the screen-door-closed and open were respectively investigated. A total of 7.5million grids were generated and the whole domain divided into 22 blocks for MPI efficiency of calculation. Large eddy simulation (LES) was applied to solve the momentum and energy equation.

This study is aiming to suggest the effective thermal management system design technologies for the high voltage and capacity battery system of the electricity driven vehicles and introduce the theoretical designing methods. In order to investigate the effective operation of the battery system for the electricity driven vehicles, the heat generation model for Li-ion battery system using the chemical reaction while charging and discharging was suggested and the thermal loads of the heat sources (air or liquid) for cooling and heating were calculated using energy balance. Especially, the design methods for the cooling and heating of the battery system for maintaining the optimum operation temperature were investigated under heating, cooling and generated heat (during charging and discharging) conditions. The battery thermal management system for the effective battery operation of the electricity driven vehicles was suggested reasonably depending on the variation of the season and operation conditions. In addition, at the same conditions under summer season, the cooling method using the liquid and active cooling technique showed a relatively high capacity, while cooling method using the passive cooling technique showed a relatively low capacity.
