Since a transcritical $CO_2$ cycle shows lower performance than conventional air conditioners in the cooling mode operation, it is required to enhance the performance of the $CO_2$ cycle by applying advanced technologies and optimizing components. In this study, the cooling performance of a $CO_2$ system measured by varying refrigerant charge amount, compressor frequency, EEV opening and length of internal heat exchanger. As a result, the cooling COP of the basic system without internal heat exchanger was 2.1. The cooling performance of the modified cycle applying internal heat exchanger improved by $4-9\%$ over the basic cycle.

This study presented the feasibility of a coolant heat-source heat pump system as an alternative heating system for electrically driven vehicles. Heat pumps are among the most environmentally friendly and efficient heating technologies in residential buildings. In various countries, electric mobiles devices such as EV, PHEV, and FCEV, have been mainly concerned with heat pumps for new mobile markets. The experiments herein were conducted for various ambient temperatures and coolant temperatures to reflect the winter season. The system, a coolant heat-source heat pump, consisted of an inside heat exchanger, an outside heat exchanger, a motor driven compressor, an electronic expansion valve, and plumbing parts. For the experimental results, the maximum heating capacity and air discharge temperature are up to 6.3 kW and $62^{\circ}C$ respectively at an ambient temperature of $10^{\circ}C$, and coolant at $10^{\circ}C$. However, at $-20^{\circ}C$ ambient temperature and $-10^{\circ}C$ coolant temperature, conditions were insufficient to warm the cabin as the air discharge temperature was $13^{\circ}C$.

본 논문에서는 $CO_2$ 냉매를 적용하는 수열원 히트펌프 시스템의 성능특성에 관하여 실험적으로 연구하였다. 냉매충진량, 전자팽창밸브 개도, 압축기 주파수, 내부열교환기의 유무 등 다양한 운전변수에 따라 냉방, 난방성능 및 COP 특성을 분석하였다. 실험결과는 2200g의 냉매충진량, 26%의 전자팽창밸브 개도비율에서 최고의 COP 곡선을 나타내고 있고 압축기 주파수의 증가에 따라 냉방능력은 증가하나 난방능력은 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 이 시스템의 경우 내부열교환기를 포함할 경우 내부열교환기가 없을 경우에 비해 약 4%의 냉방 COP 증가되었고 난방 COP는 약 0.89%감소로 성능변화가 거의 나타나지 않았다.

인버터형 가변속 압축기를 사용한 냉각기를 최적으로 제어하기 위한 선행 연구이며, 외기온도를 변화 시켰을 경우 압축기의 회전수 변화와 전자팽창밸브의 개도 변화가 전체 시스템에 미치는 영향에 대해 실험적으로 규명하였다. 외기온도 $35^{\circ}C$와 외기온도 $30^{\circ}C$의 30Hz에서는 제어 시 피해야할 영역으로 판단됨을 확인할 수 있었으며, 압축기 회전수 제어로 인한 용량 제어범위는 외기온도 $35^{\circ}C$에서의 약 43~100%, 외기온도 $25^{\circ}C$에서는 46~100%, 외기온도 $10^{\circ}C$에서는 48~100%로 외기온도가 낮아질수록 용량제어범위는 작아짐을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 전자식 팽창밸브를 적용한 반도체 공정용 칠러에 관한 실험적 연구를 통해 시스템 특성을 파악하였다. 또한 온도 변화에 따른 신속한 대응을 할 수 있도록 온도상승 및 하강실험, 부하변화에 따른 온도영역별 제어정밀도 실험을 함으로써 각 제어 방식에 따른 운전 특성을 파악하였다. 온도상승 시 소비전력은 8.9 kW로 측정되었으며 CH1이 37.5분, CH2가 39.5분이 소요되었으며, 온도하강에는 총 26.5분이 소요되었다. 부분부하가 적용되는 경우 전부하가 적용되는 경우에 비해 제어정밀도의 변화폭이 큰 것으로 나타났으며 스텝모터 구동방식을 적용한 CH2의 제어정밀도가 상대적으로 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 냉각수를 이용한 냉각사이클 영역에서 소비전력은 1.8 kW로 냉동사이클을 적용한 방식에 비해 절반가량으로 감소된 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 실험결과를 바탕으로 반도체 공정용 칠러의 최적제어방안을 제시하였다.

In this study, a $CO_2$ air-conditioning system was investigated with different types of electrically driven compressors, parallel flow type gas cooler, four-pass type evaporator, internal heat exchanger integrated with accumulator, and electric expansion valve. The experimental study was conducted under various operating conditions (ie., different rotational compressor speeds, air inlet temperatures and air velocity coming into heat exchangers). The experimental results showed the cooling capacity was 3.5kW at $35^{\circ}C$ ambient temperature when the vehicle was idle (ie., the worst condition for cooling off the gas cooler). In terms of performance effect of the compressor, the e-RP model had a slightly better cooling capacity and coefficient of performance than the e-GR model under the same test conditions. An experimental equation for optimum cooling-performance control was also suggested based on the results. A high-pressure control algorithm for the super critical cycle was determined to achieve both maximum cooling performance and efficient energy consumption. The results from the experimental equation coincided with those of previous experimental studies.

This study compared constant water bath performances of conventional water-cooled refrigerator and electric heater with an air-cooled VRF chiller and electric heater equipped with optimal control algorithm. In heating mode, the air cooled VRF chiller and electric heater combination reduced the set temperature arrival time by an average of 42 minutes, and energy was also reduced by 18%. In cooling mode, the two systems took 70 minutes to reach the set temperature and showed no difference. Energy was reduced by 33.5% with the new system. For constant temperature maintaining experiment, after reaching the set temperature of $15^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$ and $22^{\circ}C$, temperature deviations were all in the range of $-0.2^{\circ}C$ to $+0.1^{\circ}C$. Energy was reduced by an average of 84.9%. Through this study, possibility of precise temperature control by an air cooled VRF chiller system was confirmed.

Performance of a water-to-water multi-type heat pump system using R22 has been experimentally investigated. Total refrigerant flow rate was adjusted with a variable speed compressor and the refrigerant flow rate for two indoor units were controlled by electronic expansion valves. Evaporator outlet pressure of refrigerant and indoor unit outlet temperatures of secondary fluid were selected as controlled variables. Experiments were carried out for both cooling and heating modes using PID control method. Results show that the multi-type heat pump system can be adequately controlled by keeping control gains at certain levels for various operating conditions.

In the present study, various experiments were performed to investigate the capacity modulation and transient response control using a variable speed compressor and electronic expansion valve(EEV). Based on the experimental results, the operation control algorithm and real time digital control system were constructed to adjust the superheat at the inlet of the compressor. Superheat control was fulfilled using both the PI feedback controller and PI controller combined with a feedforward concept. As a result, the tracking performance of the latter was better than that of former.

Small and medium-size buildings employ a multi-distributed individual air-conditioning system utilizing package air conditioners instead of centralized cooling systems, which can allow easier building management and maintenance along with a diversification of facility use. Inverter driven system heat pumps have been developed to achieve not only easy distribution control allowing free combination of indoor units with different models and different capacities, but also wide applications to an intelligent air conditioning. In this study, the transient performance of a system heat pump was analysed with the variation of compressor speed and EEV openings. The superheat was selected as a control parameter of the system, because the variation of it was consistent with each indoor unit capacity.
