축열 공조방식 중 현재 가장 많이 보급되고 있는 방식은 빙축열 방식과 수축열 방식이다. 본래 축열식 공조는 열원 용량을 감소하고, 값싼 심야전력을 통해서 운전비용(running cost)의 절감을 목적으로 하지만, 열을 저장하기 위한 "축열조"가 필요하므로, 필연적으로 초기투자비(intial cost)의 증가를 동반하며, 기존의 건물에는 쉽게 적용할 수 없는 등의 문제점이 있다. 따라서 축열을 위한 초기비용을 증가시키지 않는 축열식 공조방식으로서 건축물 자체가 가지는 높은 열용량에 착안하여 구조체 축열에 관한 연구가 최근 활성화되고 있다. 구조체 축열은 건축물 그 자체를 축열 매체로 이용하기 때문에 별도의 축열조가 필요 없고, 구조체 로부터의 "복사"형태로 거주영역에 직접적으로 작용하여 실내의 온열환경을 향상시킬 수 있다. 이 때문에 2차측 공조기의 용량을 절감시킬 수 있고, 축열 부위에서의 열반송이 필요없는 등, 구조체 축열 시스템은 기존의 빙축열과 수축열 방식에서는 없는 여러가지 장점을 가지고 있다. 구조체 축열 공조시스템은 기존의 공조시스템 중에서 급기구 부위만을 변경하여 주간에서 종래의 공조시스템과 같이 실내로 공조 공기를 급기하고, 야간에는 급기구에 설치된 댐퍼를 조절하여 천정면으로 공조 공기를 급기함으로써 구조체에 열을 축열시키는 방안이다. 본 시스템은 기존의 설비시스템을 이용하여 건축물의 구조체를 축열, 공조개시전 및 주간의 부하를 대폭 줄임으로써 에너지를 절감시킬 수 있다는 장점을 갖는다. 따라서 구조체 축열 공조시스템은 "지구환경 유지.전력부하 평준화.안전성.에너지 절약.비용절감.쾌적성"의 모든 조건을 만족시키는 유력한 차세대 공조 방식이 될 것으로 판단되며, 본 보에서는 공기순환형 구조체 축열시스템을 소개하고자 한다.

An experimental study has been conducted for the design of the regenerative oxy-fuel combustion system with ceramic ball. Various design parameters are considered such as ball size, regenerator weight, and combustion load. Regenerative system with a pair of oxygen burners and regenerators is set up and the temperature of oxygen and exhaust gas passing through ball regenerator is measured. It is shown that the temperature distributions with time are affected by ball diameter and regenerator weight, and the significant temperature change is observed by combustion load. As the ball size decreases and the regenerator weight increases, the regenerating temperature efficiency increases. It is found that the heat recovery ratio is low despites of high regeneration temperature efficiency.

Heat regenerator occupied by regenerative materials improves thermal efficiency of regenerative combustion system through the recovery of heat of exhaust gaset. By using one-dimensional two-phase fluid dynamics model, the unsteady thermal flow of heat regenerator with spherical particles, was numerically simulated to evaluate the heat transfer and pressure drop and thereby to suggest the parameter for designing heat regenerator. It takes about 7 hours for the steady state of the flow field in regenerator, in which heat absorption of regenerative particle is concurrent with the same magnitude of heat desorption. The regenerative particle experiences small temperature fluctuation below 10 K during the reversing process. The performance of thermal flow in heat regenerator varies with inlet velocity of exhaust gas and air, configuration of regenerator (cross-sectional area and length) and diameter of regenerative particle. As the gas velocity increases, the heat transfer between gas and particle enhances and with the increase the pressure losses. As particle diameter decreases, the air is preheated higher and the exhaust gases are cooled more with the increase of pressure losses.

Heat regenerator attached in small-scale regenerative radiant tube burner was designed using the theoretical computation code and was confirmed the performance of waste heat recovery ratio. From the computation, when ceramic ball of 4-5kg was used, temperature efficiency and available waste heat recovery ratio were predicted 80% and 70%, respectively. Similar efficiencies were obtained from the experiments using LPG. However, since exhaust gas temperature entered into regenerator was below 85$0^{\circ}C$ which was much lower than that we expected, preheat air temperature was lowered below 80$0^{\circ}C$.

본 축열탱크 열전달에 관한 실험적 연구는 국내에서 개발하고 있는 태양열 온수기용으로 현재 널리 이용되고 있는 탱크-코일 방식의 문제점을 해결하면서 열전달 효율이 높은 2중 축열탱크를 개발하기 위한 것이다. 2중 축열탱크의 용량은 100리터로서 수평 및 수직형으로 설치하여 실험이 가능하도록 설계.제작하였고 탱크내부의 온도는 길이방향 및 반지름 방향으로 각각 등간격으로 설치하여 측정하였고 집열매체의 입.출구온도를 동시에 측정하였다. 실험결과는 (1) 축열탱크의 형태에 관계없이 축열탱크와 열교환을 하는 열매체의 유량이 증가할수록 열전달량은 증가한다. (2) 축열탱크의 형태에 따른 탱크내부 물의 온도 상승속도는 수직형(b)인 경우가 가장 크고, 그 다음 수직형(a), 수평형의 순으로 나타났다. 따라서 이중탱크형의 축열탱크는 수평형 보다 수직형이 동일한 용량의 축열매체 온도를 신속히 상승시킬 수 있다. 아울러 열성층화에 의하여 고온의 축열매체를 이용할 경우 수직형 축열탱크가 더욱 우수한 결과를 나타낸다. (3) 축열탱크 열전달계수(UA) 값은 ( $T_{in}$ - $T_{out}$)/$\Delta$ $T_{m}$ 의 크기에 좌우되며, 열전달계수를 설치방법에 따라 비교하면 수직형(b)>수직형(a)>수평형의 순서로 나타났다.다.

In a solar domestic hot water (SDHW) system, solar energy is collected using collector panels, transferred to a circulating heat transfer fluid (brine), and eventually stored in a thermal storage tank (TST) as hot water. In this study, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was developed to predict the solar thermal energy storage in a hybrid-type TST equipped with a helical jacket heater (mantle heat exchanger) and an immersed spiral coil heater. The helical jacket heater, which is the brine flow path attached to the side wall of a TST, has advantages including simple system design, low brine flow rate, and enhanced thermal stratification. In addition, the spiral coil heater further enhances the thermal performance and thermal stratification of the TST. The developed model was validated by the good agreement between the CFD results and the experimental results performed with the hybrid-type TST in SDHW settings.

Heat regenerator occupied by regenerative materials improves thermal efficiency of combustion system through the recovery of sensible heat of exhaust gases. By using one-dimensional two-phase fluid dynamics model, the unsteady thermal flow of regenerator with spherical particles, was numerically analyzed to evaluate the heat transfer and pressure losses and to derive the design parameter for heat regenerator. It is confirmed that the computational results, such as air preheat temperature, exhausted gases outlet temperature, and pressure losses, agreed well with the experimental data. The thermal flow in heat regenerator varies with porosity, configuration of regenerator and diameter of regenerative particle. As the gas velocity increases with decreasing the cross-sectional area of the regenerator, the heat transfer between gas and particle enhances and pressure losses decrease. As particle diameter decreases, the air is preheated higher and the exhaust gases are cooled lower with the increase of pressure losses. Assuming a given exhaust gases temperature at the regenerator outlet, the regenerator need to be linearly lengthened with inlet Reynolds number of exhaust gases, which is defined as a regenerator design parameter.
