리튬브로마이드 수용액이 수직관내면을 따라 액막의 형태로 흘러 내릴때 수증기와의 흡수과정에 대하여 열 및 물질전달 특성을 실험하였다. 실험에서 열 및 물질전달계수는 막레이놀즈수를 30에서 200까지 변화시키면서 실시하였다. 일정한 냉방능력에서 시스템 압력을 변화시켰을 때의 열 및 물질전달계수를 측정하였다. 액막의 열전달계수는 레이놀즈수가 증가함에 따라 감소하였다. 최대 질량유량에서 최적의 막레이놀즈수가 존재하였다.

가정용 룸에어컨이나 가정, 점포, 사무실에 사용하는 패키지에어컨은 쾌적한 주거 사무공간을 실현할 수 있기 때문에 최근 10년 동안에 광범위하게 보급되었고, 그 기술도 해마다 진보하고 있다. 그림 1에서 나타나듯이 2001년 가정용 룸에어컨의 국내생산 수량은 연간 600만대 수준이며, 패키지에어컨은 연간 약 80만대 수준이다. 2001년 기준으로 에어컨의 국내시장규모는 약 130만대로 세대 보급률이 약 40%에 도달하고 있다. 비록 패키지에어컨은 생산 수량면에서는 룸에어컨과 비교할 수 없지만, 한대의 냉방능력이 룸에어컨의 수배에서 수십배로 크기 때문에 전력에너지소비, 환경 등에 미치는 영향은 룸에어컨과 비견될 수 있다. 공조장치 보급에 따른 환경, 에너지 측면에서의 사회적 영향과 관심이 점차 커지고 있고, 이것을 개선하기 위한 기술개발이 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 에어컨을 포함한 공조장치의 다수는 효율이 좋은 증기 압축식 냉동사이클로써 구성되어 있으며, 증기 압축식 사이클에서 냉매가스를 압축하여 순환시키는 심장역할을 하고 있는 것이 압축기이다. 또한 압축기는 공조장치 전체의 전력소비의 80%에서 90%을 차지하고 있어 에너지절감 기술개발과 환경기술개발의 포인트가 되는 기구이다. 최근에 에어컨용 냉매압축기의 기술적인 개발동향을 정리하면 다음과 같은 경향으로 진행되고 있다.

This study, examines the performance and the heat pump cycle systematizing characteristics for non-azeotropic refrigerant systems. In order to conduct such an examination, the cycle characteristics of heat pumps for pure R-22, R-114, and their mixtures were experimentally investigated. The results show that cooling/heating capacities for the mixtures was more suited at the evaporating temperature of $5^{\circ}C$ than that of $0^{\circ}C$, $-5^{\circ}C$, and $-10^{\circ}C$. The C.O.P of the 50 wt% mixtures was considerably higher than for pure R-22, and the compression power of the 25 wt% was as much as 60% lower than that of pure R-22. Even small fractional mixture variations can lead to significant changes in the characteristics of the heat pump cycle. This experiment verified the importance of accurate weight fractions of refrigerant mixtures.

지구환경문제와 에너지문제를 해소하는 한 방법으로서 Vuilleumier 사이클 기관(VM)을 이용한 공조기형 열구동형 히트펌프시스템(VMHP)이 각광을 받고 있다. VMHP의 제작에 있어서는 VM의 각 부분의 이론적 검토 및 최적설계를 위한 해석프로그램의 개발이 필수적이고 최적설계를 위한 설계 기본서의 도출 및 설계자료의 확보가 필요하다. VMHP의 상세한 성능해석이나 설계에 활용 가능한 성능해석프로그램을 개발하였다. 해석은 VM의 시스템의 각 부분을 11개 부분으로 나누어 단열모델해석으로 수행하였다. 열교환기에서의 열전달 성능과 재생기손실, 열전도손실, 셔틀손실, 유동에 의한 압력손실과 열압축측과 열펌프측 사이의 마찰손실, 피스턴실 및 로드실의 마찰손실을 고려한 해석을 수행하였다. 해석에 의한 계산치의 정확성을 본 해석결과를 이용하여 제작한 시험기에 의해 비교하였다. 계산치와 시험기에 의한 전체성능을 비교하였고 또한 각각의 손실에서 고유한 파라미터를 추출하여 그 파라미터의 변화에 따른 열손실 전체의 변화 정도를 파악하여 실험치와 계산치의 정상적인 비교로부터 성능해석의 정도를 비교하였다. 비교결과에 의해 난방능력은 8%, 냉방능력은 19%의 최대오차로서 본 해석결과가 VMHP의 설계를 위해 유용한 수단으로 사용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The water-to-air heat pump system requires relatively lower energy consumption and less installation space. The heat exchangers used for this system are the finned-tube type for the indoor unit and the double-tube type for the outdoor unit. Mathematical models for this system are developed and programmed in computer. Experimental data from various conditions are obtained and compared with calculated values from the computer simulation program. Differences of cooling capacity and COP are 1.25% and 0.47%, and those of heating capacity and COP are 0.51% and 0.13%, respectively. Simulation results are in good agreement with test results. Therefore, the developed program is effectively used for the design and the performance prediction of water-to-air heat pump system.

In the present study, the cooling characteristics of the multi-air conditioner (A/C) using an inverter scroll compressor are experimentally investigated for the number of the indoor units and the operating conditions (2$0^{\circ}C$, 24$^{\circ}C$, 26$^{\circ}C$) under the cooling standard conditions by KS C 9306. In the case of the simultaneous operation for 3 indoor units, the cooling capacity, the mass flow rate and the input power have a decreasing trend and COP has an increasing trend, with decreasing the difference in the operating temperature of the indoor unit and the room temperature. In the case of the simultaneous operation for 2 indoor units, the COP of the indoor unit with large cooling capacity is high when the operating temperature is high, but the COP of the indoor unit with low cooling capacity is high when the operating temperature is low. In the case of the single operation for one unit, when the large cooling capacity of the indoor unit is less than 50％ the compressor operates at the minimum operation frequency region and the COP decreases.

This paper deals with the research for the effects of the operating parameters that could be used for a transcritical $CO_2$ mobile air-conditioning system on the cooling performance. The experimental conditions of the performance tests for a system and components such as a gas cooler and an evaporator were suggested to compare the performance of each with the standardized test conditions. And this research presents experimental results for the performance characteristics of a $CO_2$ mobile air conditioning system with various operating conditions such as different gas cooler inlet pressures and frontal air velocities/temperatures passing through an evaporator and a gas cooler. Experimental results show that the cooling capacity was more than 5kW and coefficient of performance (COP) was more than 2.1, also. Therefore, we checked that the mobile air-conditioning system using $CO_2$ has good performance compared to that using HFC-134a.

The purpose of this study is to maintain high efficiency and reasonable use of cool thermal storage systems operated in the domestic building sector. As the result of efficiency test from the five types of operated cool storage systems on the condition that COP ranges are 2.6 to 3.4 during the day time and 2.1 to 3.0 during the night time and it decreased by more than 30% of rated COP given 3.8 to 3.0. The Analysis of cool storage rate shows that only 3 (21.4%) systems out of 15 buildings hold to over 40% capacity for its total capacity. To prevent the decrease in operating efficiency, it should correct the malfunction of 3-way valve and expansion valve and the mistake of control values for schedule program and increase cooling tower capacity. In order to improve piping line, it needs bypass brine line off refrigerator, separation of chilled water line with Ice Slurry system at day and night time and speed control of chilled and warm water pumps. This study does require the more studies on improving difficulty of increasing cooling load with Ice on Coil system, waterproofing with Ice Ball system, COP drop during the night time with Ice Lens, low operating temperature during the day time with Ice Slurry and increasing of Power loss due to hot gas de-icing with Ice Harvest in the future.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the experimental performance characteristics of a water-to-water geothermal heat pump featuring a vapor refrigerant injection for the production of hot water. The performance of geothermal heat pump with a vapor injection was evaluated by comparing with that of a conventional geothermal heat pump without a vapor injection. For heating operation, the geothermal heat pump with a vapor injection is superior in COP and heating capacity. The vapor injection was more effective for supplying hot water while overloading. The vapor injection was effective for the improvement of the cooling capacity. However, the vapor injection was not effective for the increasing of COP according to the increased input of a compressor. The advantage of vapor injection in water-to-water geothermal heat pump become disappeared while cooling operation with lower part loading.

For an asymmetric scroll compressor for heat pump application, a numerical simulation was carried out to investigate the effects of injection port design on the compressor's performance under gas injection. To validate the simulation, the numerical results were compared with experimental results obtained from a scroll compressor with a base injection port design. There was good agreement between simulation and experimental results, with around a 1% difference in the injection mass flow rate when the injection pressure was below $12kgf/cm^2A$ for the heating mode. Various injection port angular positions were numerically tested to yield better injection performance. The largest improvement in heating capacity was obtained at angles of $240^{\circ}$ and $200^{\circ}$ inward from the scroll wrap end angle for low-temperature and standard heating conditions, respectively, while the maximum COP improvement was at $365^{\circ}$ and $280^{\circ}$, respectively. A considerable improvement in cooling capacity was also found at the injection port angle of $240^{\circ}$.
