Thermodynamic analysis of cascade refrigeration systems has attracted considerable research attention. On the other hand, a system evaluation based on thermodynamic analyses of the individual parts, including the evaporator, condenser, intercooler, expansion valve, etc., has received less attention. In this study, performance analysis was conducted on a cascade refrigeration system, which has an individual cooling and refrigeration evaporator, and equips the intercooler and air-cooled condenser in a series in a lower cycle. The thermo-fluid design was then performed on the major components of the system - upper condenser, lower condenser, cooling evaporator, refrigeration evaporator, intercooler, compressor, electronic expansion valve - of 15 kW refrigeration, and 8 kW cooling capacity using R-410A. A series of simulations were conducted on the designed system. The change in outdoor temperature from 26 C to 38 C resulted in the cooling capacity of the lower evaporator remaining approximately the same, whereas it decreased by 9% at the upper evaporator and by 63% at the intercooler. The COP decreased with increasing outdoor temperature. In addition, the COP of the cycle with the intercooler operation was higher that of the cycle without the intercooler operation. Furthermore, the increase in the upper condenser size by two fold increased the upper evaporator by 4%. On the other hand, the lower evaporator capacity remained the same. The COP of the upper cycle increased with increasing upper condenser size, whereas that of the lower cycle remained almost the same. When the size of the lower condenser was increased 2.8 fold, the intercooler capacity increased by 8%, whereas those of upper and the lower evaporator remained approximately the same. Furthermore, the COP of the lower cycle increased with an increase in the lower condenser. On the other hand, the change of the upper condenser was minimal.

냉각탑, 밀폐식냉각탑, 증발식응축기는 증발식냉각기의 분류에 속한다. 열은 증발에 의해 제거되어, 중력에 따라 유하하는 수 film으로 부터 충전물, 또는 밀폐식냉각탑, 증발식응축기의 관군상을 흐르는 공기에 전달된다. 따라서 공기측에서의 열과 물질의 이동프로세스는 기본적으로는 동일하다. 각 형식에서의 차이는 냉각되는 유체측에서의 열저항의 형태가 다르다는 점이다. 이 무저항은 냉각탑에서는 아주 작으나 다른 두 경우에 있어서는 계산상 고려하지 않으면 안된다. 이 논문은 이들 세 형식에 대해 통일된 이론을 적용할 수 있다는 것을 보여주기 위한 것이다. 그러므로 열 및 물질이동저항의 계산을 위한 식에 대해 논의하고 있다. 또한 복잡성을 피하기 위해, Merkel의 근사식을 공기측의 열 및 물질이동계산에 이용하였다.

The configurations of the evaporator and condenser of a water chiller can be determined from the trade-off between the heat transfer area, which is related to the capital cost and the pressure drop, which is associated with the operational cost. In this study, the design of the water chiller focused on minimizing the water pressure drop of both condenser and evaporator for given cooling capacity and requirements. Commercial enhanced tubes were employed to simulate real-life conditions. The results of the present analysis were compared with those obtained by HTRI software for verifying them. The results indicated that a reduction in the water pressure drop, which is associated with the short length of a tube, can be effected by decreasing the number of tube passes and increasing the number of tubes and the tube diameter. However, using a large number of tubes with smaller diameters can reduce the capital cost because the tubes are short. The reduction of the capital cost is due to the fact that a small-diameter tube has low internal thermal resistance and hence contributes to a decrease in the overall thermal resistance per unit length.

모세관(capillary tube)은 일정면적식 팽창기구의 대표적인 것으로서 사용역사가 길고, 신뢰성이 높고, 가격이 저럼하므로 냉동공조시스템의 냉매제어장치로 매우 많이 사용되고 있다. 이것은 냉동시스템의 응축기와 증발기 사이에서 유입하는 고압의 액상냉매를 증발기에서 증발하기 쉬운 증발압력까지 압력을 강하시키는 감압팽창작용과 증발기의 증발 용량에 적당한 냉매 질량유량을 공급하는 역할 (이 작용은 냉동시스템의 용량과 작동범위를 결정하는데 매우 중요하다.)을 한다. 이 글에서는 모세관의 형상, 재질 및 그장 . 단점과 작동원리, 내부 유동현상 등 일반적인 사항에 관하여 기술한다.

Separate heat pipe exchanger is considered as the high thermal transportation equipment, because evaporator and condenser are separately positioned in the long distance. Its characteristics are that the working fluid is circulated naturally by the position height of two exchangers. But the operating characteristics are restricted by the temperature of hot and cold fluid, flow pattern and diameter of vapor line, etc. in this study, the vapor pressure and the minimum height of two exchangers are studied about the factors restricting the operating characteristics.

In order to investigate the cooling capacity of an air-conditioner applying a variable capacity compressor and the temperature characteristics on a condenser and an evaporator, the experiment on the operation characteristics of the air-conditioner was performed along a compressor operation ratio and an indoor/outdoor temperatures, under a cooling operation mode. The system characteristics were measured by the psychrometric calorimeter. The cooling capacity increased with decreasing the outdoor temperature and increasing the indoor temperature. Also, it increased with increasing the compressor operation ratio. The temperature of the condenser was more sensitive for the variation of the outdoor temperature and the temperature of the evaporator was more sensitive for the variation of the indoor temperature. The operation characteristics of the cycle used in this present were also analyzed by a pressure-enthalpy chart.

In the present work, a numerical study of a horizontal falling film evaporator in a multi-effect distillation (MED) plant is performed. Tube bundles in the evaporator are described as porous media, and a volume-averaged method is applied. To calculate the fluid flow and phase change in the evaporator due to heat transfer in the system, FLUENT and user-defined functions (UDF) are used. To observe the performance of the evaporator under different operational conditions, tests are conducted for a steam mass flux ranging from 0.5 to 2.5 $kg/m^2s$ in the horizontal tube, for mass fraction of the noncondensable gas in the tube inlet ranging from 0% to 1%, and for film Reynolds numbers ranging from 100 to 1,000 for the falling film. The evaporation rate increases with the steam mass flux and Reynolds number. In contrast, the evaporation rate decreases by 0.87% with a 1% increase in the mass fraction of the noncondensable gas in the tube.
