In order to reduce the anthropogenic emission of greenhouse gases, CCS technology has emerged as the most promising and practical solution. Among CCS technology, post-combustion $CO_2$ capture is known as the most mature and effective process to remove $CO_2$ from power plant, but its energy consumption for chemical solvent regeneration still remains as an obstacle for commercialization. In this study, a process alternative integrating $CO_2$ capture with compression process is proposed which not only reduces the amount of thermal energy required for solvent regeneration but also produces $CO_2$ at an elevated pressure.

The objective of this paper is to investigate the performance characteristics of a $CO_2$ cooling and water heating system using a twin-rotary compressor with the compression volume ratio of 0.6. The cooling performances of the $CO_2$ heat pump were measured and analyzed with the variations of charge amount, EEV opening, and compressor frequency. In addition, the performance of the combined system including cooling and water heating was also measured and analyzed by varying inlet temperature of the EEV. As a result, the optimal normalized charge and cooling COP in the cooling mode were 0.307 and 2.06, respectively. The application of the water heating into the $CO_2$ heat pump improved the cooling performance over 78% and decreased the EEV inlet temperature by $8^{\circ}C$, which can increase system reliability.

The quantity of discharged oil from a compressor is one of the most important issues for proper operation of refrigeration system. If the oil is increased in the system not only pressure drop is increased in other components, such as evaporator and gas cooler but also heat transfer coefficient in the heat exchangers is decreased. In addition, the lack of oil in the compressor may cause a critical of the system failure. In this study, one stage single rotary compressor is used for measuring oil circulation ratio(OCR). Carbon dioxide and PAG oil are used as refrigerant and lubricant. Using a U-tube densimeter, mixture density is measured. Characteristics of oil circulation ratio have been investigated for $CO_2$ rotary compressor in the range of operation frequency 45 Hz to 63 Hz and the suction temperature range of $0^{\circ}C$ to $15^{\circ}C$. The results obtained indicate that the oil circulation ratio is increased as the suction temperature or compressor operating frequency is increased.

The molten carbonate fuel cell has a high temperature of waste heat and can constitute a bottoming cycle to increase the efficiency. Previous study used a bottoming cycle as steam turbine cycle. In this study, we are going to replace the bottoming cycle with a supercritical carbon dioxide power cycle. The system power was compared to consider replacing the bottoming cycle. As a result, the power of the supercritical carbon dioxide power cycle at the present development stage is lower than that of the steam turbine cycle, but theoretically, the power can be larger than the steam turbine cycle. If the supercritical carbon dioxide power cycle improves the isentropic efficiency of the turbine by 89%, the isentropic efficiency of the compressor by 83%, and the effectiveness of the recuperator by 0.9, the power can be same to the steam turbine cycle.

A parametric study on the scroll wrap configuration factors of a $CO_2$scroll compressor for heat pump water heater has been carried out. Since there are 7 scroll wrap design parameters and 5 equations relating them, two of the design parameters can be selected as independent parameters. In this study, the wrap thickness and orbiting radius are chosen as independent ones. Computer simulation program has been used to estimate the compressor performance at various combinations of the scroll wrap design parameters. It has been found that there exists optimum combination of the wrap parameters for the highest compressor performance over analyzed ranges of the design parameters.

The performance of a geothermal heat pump system using carbon dioxide was investigated by the steady-state cycle simulation program developed in this study. A parametric study was carried out in order to investigate the effect of various operating conditions on the performance of the basic cycle without an IHX(internal heat exchanger). The simulation program consists of several Fortran subroutines for simulating indoor and outdoor heat exchangers, compressors, and expansion valves and Visual Basic subroutines for the graphic user interface(GUI) consisted with pre-processor for input data and post-processor for the output data. Refprop V6.01 was used for estimating the thermodynamic properties and equilibrium behaviors of carbon dioxide. The simulation results were validated by comparing experimental data through a series of case studies. The cycle simulation program developed in this work would seem to be a useful tool in optimizing and establishing economical and efficient operating conditions in the $CO_2$ geothermal heat pump system.

초임계 이산화탄소 발전 시스템 구축을 위해서는 고온, 고압의 열악한 환경에 노출되는 터빈, 열 교환기, 압축기와 같은 핵심 부품들의 내식성 평가는 반드시 수행되어야 한다. 이를 위해 후보소재 3종 Ferritic-Martensitic Steel (T92), Austenitic Steel (SS316L), Ni-based Alloy (IN738LC)를 선정하여 고온의 유사 초임계 $CO_2$ 발전 환경에서의 내식성 평가를 진행하였다. $600^{\circ}C$, $700^{\circ}C$의 2개의 온도 구간에서 $CO_2$ 분위기를 조성하여 800 시간 동안 노출시킨 뒤, Weight Change, Surface Morphology, Cross Section, Composition을 분석하였다. Cr-rich Protective Layer를 형성하는 Ni-based Alloy와 Fe/Cr-rich oxide를 형성하는 Austenitic Steel은 우수한 부식 저항성을 보인 반면에 Ferritic-Martensitic Steel은 높은 Weight Change와 Fe-rich Non-Protective Oxide가 관찰되어 상대적으로 낮은 부식 저항성을 보였다.
