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. (1)오존층 파괴 지수가 제로인 친환경 HFC계와 자연냉매용 밀폐형 압축기기술 (2)로터리압축기의 성능향상 및 대용량화 기술 (3)압축기용 모터의 DC화통에 의한 모터 효율 향상 및 압축기 효율 향상 기술 (4)스크롤압축기의 압축비 변화의 대응, 고효율 유지, 대용량화 등 성능향상기술 (5)로터리, 스크롤, 왕복동 압축기를 이용한 용량가변기술 본 논고에서는 룸에어컨과 패키지에어컨에서 사용되고 있는 밀폐형 압축기에 대해서 그림 2에서 나타내고 있는 냉방능력 10tons(120,000Btu/h) 이하를 중심으로 상기의 최근 기술 동향을 간략하게 소개하고자 한다.

Air Conditioner has become a popular comfort providing device since two decades, whether in an office or home especially for warm and wet climate countries. The RAC (Room Air Conditioner) is widely used in various working spaces and residences. It composed of heat exchager, cross-flow fan, stabilizer, rearguider and blade of diffuser region, etc. In this study, numerical analyses based on the prediction of transient phenomena were carried out to investigate the flow characteristics in the RAC, including the impeller, the rearguider, the stabilizer and the blade of the diffuser region. Using a commercial code, FLUENT, the velocity, pressure and streamlines were obtained with unsteady, turbulent flow and no-slip condition. The angular velocities of impeller are located in the 900 rpm. Turbulent closure was achieved using a standard k-${\varepsilon}$ model. A moving reference frame (MRF) approach was adopted to simulate the flow field generated by impeller in the RAC. Results were graphically depicted with various geometrical configurations and operating conditions.

Whole flow fields of a room air conditioner (RAC) have been visualized by a Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) technique to analyze the flow structure by various inlet and outlet angles, and to control an eccentric vortex which affects an efficiency and noise of the RAC. A test model with 5 stages of a cross flow fan has been manufactured and a transparent acryl has been installed at the side of the test model for the PIV experiment. The inlet and outlet flows and the flow inside the cross flow fan have been analyzed by varying the inlet grill angles and outlet blade angles. The movement of the eccentric vortex has been investigated experimentally by developing the measurement technique for the inner flow field of the cross flow fan, and the relationship between the control of the eccentric vortex and the inlet and outlet angles has been confirmed in this study.

Test models which have geometrical similarities with a real room air conditioner (RAC) have been manufactured including visualization windows so that a laser beam can pass through a cross flow fan. Then, flow distributions of the RAC have been investigated using a visualization technique such as a Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) to analyze an efficiency and noise of the RAC. Pitot tubes have also been used to measure the flow velocity inside the RAC with various positions to confirm the measurement accuracy of the PIV technique. The measured flow velocities have been analyzed and new designs of the RAC have been proposed to improve the efficiency and to reduce the noise for the RAC in this study.

This paper describes to analyze the ventilation performance of a room air conditioner for indoor comfort control. An experimental apparatus consists of a test room, the room air conditioner, a tracer gas measurement system, a supply fan and a controller. Ventilation performance as a function of human occupancy is evaluated with supply ventilation air using a tracer gas technique of CO2 gas in the test room. The ventilation performance is evaluated in a step-down method based on ASTM Standard E741-83 and is found to increase with increasing supply ventilation rate. The CO2 gas concentration is decayed rapidly without human occupancy. The ventilation performance without human occupancy increases up to 55% and the ventilation performance with one person increases up to 25% at the supply air of 570 lpm comparing with a natural reduction after one hour. A modeling for ventilation performance of a room air conditioner in a test room is presented using experimental datum.

In this paper, we propose a system that monitors and controls the environment of a server room in real-time based on IoT. Recently, as the information society has been maximized, the damage has been significant when the computer system is down. In particular, damage such as a fire in the server room leads to loss of data and data recovery becomes impossible. In order to reduce such damage, a node capable of real-time monitoring using an IoT system was proposed. In addition, we proposed a coordinator node that can collect and monitor node information. In order to verify that the proposed system works, we have developed software that can control node monitoring and air conditioning. As a result of the experiment, we confirmed that the proposed system detects fire and controls the air conditioner.

This study shows the experimental characteristics of the double pipe inserted liquid pipe with small diameter in the gas pipe with large diameter for circulating of a liquid of high temperature, pressure and a gas of low temperature, pressure at the same time. So the functions of pipe and pipe's expansion and heat transfer are presented simultaneously. In the result, the temperature of gas refrigerant at the inlet of compressor increased about $5^{\circ}C$ by the heat transfer with liquid refrigerant in case of the double pipe. And liquid gas refrigerant which the temperature at the inlet of evaporator decreased about $3^{\circ}C$ comparing with the existing type flows into an evaporator COP of the double pipe increased about $7{\sim}10%$ comparing with that of the conventional pipe. And the noise of the double pipe at capillary tube is less than that of the conventional type about 3dB. Consequently. it is convinced the superiority of the double pipe in the heat loss and soundproofing aspect.
