The 5kWt dish solar collector is designed and the preliminary performance test for this is carried out. The diameter of the parabolic dish is 3.2 m, and its focal length is 2 m. It consists of 10 small reflectors which have their own curvatures, and the effective reflecting area is $5.9\;m^2$, and the rim angle of the dish is $43.85^{\circ}$. The reflectivity of reflectors is 0.95, and the thermal capacity of the system is about 5 kW thermal. The aperture diameter of the cylindrical-shape receiver which is made of stainless steel is 100 mm, and the height is 210 mm. A quartz window is installed at the receiver aperture to minimize the convective heat loss and prevent air leakage. In order to increase the heat transfer area, porous materials (nickel-alloy) are inserted into the receiver. Air flows into the upper part of the receiver which is the opposite side of the aperture. After the air flows through the inside of the receiver, that goes out of the receiver through 3 exits which are located near the aperture. The volumetric flow rates of air are varied from 600 to 1200 L/min. The results show that the system efficiency and receiver efficiency increase as the volume flow rate increases.

본 연구는 화학열펌프 개발을 목적으로 비교적 고온영역에서 화학축열에 응용 가능 할 것으로 판단되는 무기수화물계 $Ca(OH)_2/CaO$ 가역 반응싸이클을 이용한 수화 탈수반응에 따른 충진층내 열이동에 대하여 실험적 검토를 행하였다. 그 결과 본 실험에서 얻은 열교환특성은 $Ca(OH)_2$ 열분해 탈수반응시 반응기 내의 시료층 상단부가 하단부에 비해 탈수반응이 느리게 진행되었으며 이러한 현상은 탈수반응이 하부에서 상부로 진행됨을 알 수 있었다. 또, 반응기내 반경방향에서의 $Ca(OH)_2$ 열분해 탈수반응에 따른 온도변화는 시료 중심부에서 상 하단부로 나타났으며 이는 열전도도에 의한 온도 강하로 중심부의 축열온도가 높음을 알 수 있었다.

주어진 열원에서 유기 랭킨 사이클 시스템을 통해 얻을 수 있는 최대 출력 조건에서의 최적 효율을 구하기 위한 이론식을 유도하였으며, 이것이 작동 유체의 열물성치에 의한 엔탈피를 기초로 하여 계산된 열효율과 비교하여 잘 일치되는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 유도된 결과식에 의해 최대 출력은 열원의 열용량과 초기 온도 그리고 핀치점 온도차만의 함수임을 알 수 있었으며, 이 때의 효율은 열원의 열용량과 관계없이 입열원과 방출열원 초기 온도와 핀치점 온도차의 함수임을 알 수 있었다. 여기서 구한 최대 출력시의 효율식은 실제 랭킨 사이클 시스템의 설계를 위한 최적 설계지표로 사용될 수 있으며 실제 발전소의 성능 예측을 위한 최적 효율로도 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

Mathematical modeling and performance simulation results were shown for the solar thermal storage system which used heat pipe. The thermal storage system was composed of thermal storage tank and charging/discharging heat exchanger with one by the heat pipes. Heat pipe heat exchanger was attached to system, and could carry out charging and discharging to thermal storage tank at the same time. Height of the thermal storage tank was 600 mm, and that of the charging/discharging heat exchanger was 400 mm. Length of the heat pipe was the same as the total height of thermal storage system, and outer and inner diameter were 25.4 mm(O.D.) and 21.4 mm(I.D.) respectively. Diameter of the circular was 43 mm(O.D.), and fin geometries were considered as the design parameters. High temperature phase change material(PCM), $KNO_3$ and low temperature PCM, $LINO_3$ were charged to storage tank to adjust working temperature. Total size of thermal storage system able to get heat capacity more than 500 kW was calculated and the results were shown in this study. Number of heat pipe was required more than maximum 500, and total length of thermal storage system was calculated to the more than maximum 3 m at various condition.

In this study a hybrid heating system based on geothermal source and solar heat was developed in order to save energy for greenhouse heating and its field performance was evaluated. Developed system are composed of following parts: water tank, heat exchanger, heat pump, fan coil unit and heat storage unit. The working performance test was carried out in a greenhouse cultivating oriental orchids being managed by $23^{\circ}C$. Field performance test results showed that average heating coefficient of performance ($COP_h$) was 3.4 for the period from mid-January to mid-March 2013. Heating coefficient of performance ($COP_h$) of developed hybrid heat pump system was more sensitive to water tank temperature than outside air temperature. This study showed that developed hybrid heat pump system has a potential to save the heating costs up to 91% compared to conventional agricultural oil heaters.

In this study, a simulation program was developed with heat transfer model in the thermal storage tank for a solar collector and burner combined heating and hot water supply system. Analysis was conducted with variation of operating condition and schedule to analyze performance of a hot water supply and panel heating system with a solar collector and burner combined thermal storage tank. The simulation program is divided two sections. One part is calculation of temperature variation of water which flows through the panel in the floor for heating of the residential house during 24 hours, and the other part is heat transfer calculation for the reaction time to get desired water temperature in the thermal storage tank. As results, light oil consumption and system performance during operation period were analyzed with variation of climate condition and with or without solar collector. Most of the case, oil could be saved about from 24 to 41% with installing the solar collector. The performance of the system is more dependent on radiation time of the solar collector rather than the intensity of the solar radiation which was adopted for the climate analysis.

A photovoltaic/thermal (PVT)solar system is the solar technology that allows for simultaneous conversion of solar energy into both electricity and heat. This paper compared the performance of PVT system with a conventional PV module and solar collector and analyzed electrical and thermal efficiency of PVT system in terms of solar irradiance and inlet temperature of the working fluid. Based on the experimental data, thermal and electrical efficiencies of he glazed PVT system were57.9% and14.27% under zero reduced temperature condition which were lower by 13.6% than the solar thermal absorber plate and by 0.08% than the PV module respectively. For the unglazed PVT system it had lower thermal efficiency than the solar thermal absorber plate but higher electrical performance than the PV module due to the cooling effect by the working fluid. However, total efficiency of the glazed PVT system was72.2% which was higher than combined efficiencies of the solar collector and PV module. Besides, total efficiency of the PVT system would be much higher if calculated based on unit area.

With the possibility of hot water being able to be used as a heating source in a liquid desiccant system, an experimental apparatus for regeneration of the liquid desiccant was set up and series of experiments were conducted in a climate-controlled chamber. This study was performed to ascertain the influences of experimental factors on regenerating performance and to suggest the optimal combination of factors affecting regeneration rate. Furthermore. in order to figure out the contribution ratio of the factors on regenerating performance, a multi-way factorial design among the design of experiments was adopted. According to experimental results, the most influential factor on regenerating performance was temperature of the liquid desiccant and its contribution ratio was about 79.4%. In addition. the optimal operating combination was as follows; $60^{\circ}C$ of solution temperature, $14\ell$/min of solution flow rate, and 190m3/h of air volume.

The storage tank of the natural circulation solar hot water system equipped with flat-plate solar collector is located at higher elevation than the solar collectors. Therefor, the storage tank temperature distribution formed accordance with configuration of storage tank by flow rate of circulating fluid affect system collection efficiency. In this study measure the storage tank temperature distribution with various experimental system under real sun condition and present the theoretical prediction method of the storage tank temperature. Moreover measure the flow rate not only day-time but also night-time reverse flow rate with die injection visual flow meter. Main conclusion obtain from the present study is as follows; 1) The storage tank temperature distribution above the connecting pipe connection position is the same as that of the fully mixed tank and below the connection position is the same as that of stratified tank. 2) The system performance sensitive to the storage tank temperature distribution. Therefore detailed tank model is necessary. Average storage tank temperature can be calculate 3% and storage tank temperature profile can get less than 10% difference with this model system.
