This paper presents the measurement and analysis results for the performance of HGCHP system using a cooling tower as a supplemental heat rejector. In order to demonstrate the performance of the hybrid approach, we installed the monitoring equipments including sensors for measuring temperature and power consumption, and measured operation parameters from February 1, 2014 to February 28, 2015. Leaving load temperatures to building showed an average value of $11.7^{\circ}C$ for cooling and $39.5^{\circ}C$ for heating, respectively. From the analysis, the daily PF of hybrid GCHP system varied from 2.6 to 6.6 over the measurement period.

A novel cooling method induced by acoustic streaming generated by ultrasonic vibration at 30㎑ is presented. Ultrasonic vibration is obtained by piezoelectric devices and the maximum vibration amplitude of 50 m is achieved by including a horn, mechanical vibration amplifier in the system and making the complete system resonate. To investigate the enhancement of heat transfer capability of acoustic streaming, the temperature variations of heat source and air in the vicinity of heat source are measured in real-time. It is observed that acoustic streaming is instantly induced by ultrasonic vibration, resulting in the significant temperature drop due to the bulk air flow caused by acoustic streaming. In addition, it is observed that the cooling effect on the heat source is maximized when the gap between the ultrasonic vibrator and heat source coincides with the multiples of half-wavelength of the ultrasonic wave. This fact results from the resonance of the sound wave. The theoretical analysis of the dependence on the gap is also accomplished and verified by experiment. The advantage of the proposed cooling method by acoustic streaming is noise-free due to the ultrasonic vibration and maintenance-free because of the absence of moving parts. Moreover. This cooling method can be utilized to the nano and micro-electro mechanical systems, where the fan-based conventional cooling method can not be employed.

1.열펌프 시스템의 성능은 최적설계를 하므로서 이론적, Rankine C.O.P에 접근시킬 수 있다. 2.. 산업체 중저온 폐열회수이용에는 열펌프가 매우 유망하며 냉온수를 동시에 이용하는 경우는 더욱 유리하다. 3. 우리나라 산업계에서 보통 투자회수기간을 3년으로 본다면 전력시설용량을 500kw 이상의 산업용 소동력, 대동력의 경우 열펌프의 성적계수는 약 3.5 정도가 하한으로 볼 수 있다. 4. 공기 또는 물 열원의 가정용 열펌프는 전력비가 비싸므로 아직은 실용성이 없다.

In a hybrid fuel cell system, low-temperature reforming technology, which uses waste heat as a heat source, is applied to improve system efficiency. A low temperature reformer is required to optimize geometry in low thermal conditions so that the reformer can achieve the proper methane conversion rate. This study analyzed internal temperature distributions and the reaction patterns of a reformer by considering the change of the shape factor on the limited heat supply condition. Unlike the case of a high temperature reformer, analysis showed that the reaction of a low temperature reformer takes place primarily in the high temperature region of the reactor exit. In addition, it was confirmed that the efficiency can be improved by reducing the GHSV (gas hourly space velocity) or increasing the heat transfer area in the radial direction. Through reacting characteristic analysis, according to change of the aspect ratio, it was confirmed that a low temperature reformer can improve the efficiency by increasing the heat transfer in the radial direction, rather than in the longitudinal direction.

The thermodynamic characteristics of a trilateral cycle with water as a working fluid have been theoretically investigated for an electric generation system to recover the waste heat of the exhaust gas from a diesel engine used for the propulsion of a large ship. As a result, when a heat source was given, the efficiencies of energy and exergy were maximized by the specific conditions of the pressure and mass flow rate for the working fluid at the turbine(expander) inlet. In this case, as the condensation temperature increased, the volume expansion ratio of the turbine could be reduced properly; however, the exergy loss of the heat source and exergy destruction of the condenser increased. Therefore, in order to recover the waste exergy from the topping cycle, the combined cycle with a bottoming cycle such as an organic Rankine cycle, which is utilized at relatively low temperatures, was found to be useful.

태양열시스템은 하절기에 급탕과 난방 부하가 적거나, 거의 없어 시스템의 과열 문제가 야기 될 수 있다. 이를 해결하는 방안 중에 하나로 흡수식 냉방시스템을 이용하여 하절기 잉여열원을 활용하여 냉방하는 방법이 대두되고 있다. 태양열 냉방시스템은 전기에너지를 대체하는 효과 뿐 아니라 태양열 연간 이용 효율 극대화에도 크게 기여 할 수 있다. 본 고에서는 국내 기술로 최초로 개발 실용화된 중온용 단일 진공관형 태양열 집열기와 1중 효용 흡수식 냉방기를 이용하여 실증연구를 계획하였다. 태양열 냉방 실증을 위하여 단일 진공관형 태양열 집열기 집열면적 200m2, 축열조(태양열, 급탕, 냉수), 10RT급 냉방기, 냉각탑, 보조 보일러, 원격 제어 및 모니터링 등이 계획 되었다. 실증시험 중간 결과 태양열 냉방시스템은 하절기 맑은 날 하루 동안 약 5 - 6시간 안정적으로 가동 되었으며, 앞으로 온수급탕, 난방 시험을 거쳐 시스템 성능 및 경제성 평가를 통하여 유용성, 안정성 및 신뢰성이 검증 될 계획이다.

현대 사회의 중요 자원인 전기는 총생산량 중 90%이상이 화력발전과 원자력 발전에 의존하고 있으나, 최근 화석 연료의 급격한 가격 상승과 환경오염에 대한 중요성이 대두 되면서, 그린에너지 연구에 대한 관심이 급증하고 있다. 이러한 연구의 일환으로 본 연구에서는 태양에너지의 이용효율을 높일 수 있는 시스템 개발 기술에 초점을 맞추어 연구를 진행하였다. 열효율이 좋은 스털링 엔진을 구동하는 열원으로 태양열을 이용하고, 엔진에 발전 시스템을 결합시켜 전기를 생산할 수 있는 소형 태양열 발전 시스템을 제작하였다. 제작된 시스템으로 기초실험을 수행하여, 기술의 실용성을 평가하였다. 본 연구에서 제작한 시스템에서 155 mW의 전기를 발전할 수 있었으나, 시스템의 최적 설계 시 더 높은 출력을 얻을 수 있는 기술이라 예상한다.

Wastewater heat recovery heat pump systems use heated wastewater from public baths or factories as the heat pump's heat source. Generally, this system uses a bare tube evaporator. In the heat transfer process from wastewater to refrigerant, thermal resistance is caused primarily by fouling deposits on the outside surface of tube. Fouling directly increases thermal resistance and decreases heat pump efficiency. Thus, it is desirable to eliminate fouling. In this study, we fabricated a fouling mitigation device using a bubbling fluidized bed with cleaning sponge balls in the wastewater bath. Experimental conditions were as follows: $20^{\circ}C$ cold-water temperature, $40^{\circ}C$ wastewater temperature, 100 L/h cold water flow rate, and $0.161m^2$ heat exchanger surface area. Experimental results showed that the thermal resistance of fouling decreased by 56% with the fluidized bed alone and by 86% with both the fluidized bed and cleaning sponge balls.

For the recovery of industrial waste heat, a chemical heat transformer based on the reversible reaction between metal chlorides and ammonia gas was designed and a pilot scale unit of 1 kW-1hr was developed. A static calculation, which determined the amount of reacting materials and operating condition of system, and dynamic simulations were performed for the optimal design. The temperature and output power of generator in the system were varying with the amount of salt and heat exchange area. Optimum conditions such as the amount of salt-graphite, apparent density and size of mechanical unit were determined by the dynamic simulation for the system. According to the operating cycle of 4 stages, experimental results of temperature and output power were well agreed with the simulation values. This chemical heat transformer is turned out to be a very promising system for recovery of industrial waste heat because of its effective feature of lifting temperature.
