The present study has been directed at developing thermal models to investigate the dynamic behavior of a solar cooling system including an absorption chiller, solar collectors, a hot water storage tank, a fan coil unit, and the air-conditioned space. The operation of the system was simulated for 8 hours in two different operation modes. In the mode 1, the system operated without any capacity control.0 the mode 2, an auxiliary boiler supplied heat to the generator if hot water temperature became lower than a certain value. Moreover, the mass flow rate of hot water to the generator was controlled by comparing the instantaneous room air temperature with the design value. The variation of temperature and concentration in the system components and that of heat transfer rates in the system were obtained for both modes of operation. It was found that the room temperature was maintained near the desired value in the mode 2 by supplying auxiliary heat or controlling the mass flow rate of hot water, while the deviation of room temperature was quite great in the mode 2.

흡수식 냉온수기는 자연에 있는 냉매를 사용함으로 인해 환경오염이 매우 적어 친환경적이다. 흡수식 냉온수기에서 고효율의 배기가스용 고온재생기는 높은 시스템 성능을 얻기 위한 중요한 요소중에 하나이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 운전조건에 따른 흡수식 냉온수기의 배기가스용 고온재생기의 성능을 파악하기 위해 실험장치를 제작하고 실험을 실시하였다. 배기가스용 고온재생기에서 흡수액의 입구상태는 성능변화에 매우 큰 영향을 줌으로 여러 가지 흡수액 농도 조건에서 공기측 입구온도와 질량유량을 변화시켜가면서 고온재생기의 성능을 고찰하였다. 실험결과, 공기측 질량유량비가 80%에서 120%로 증가할 때 흡수액 농도가 56%, 55%, 54%, 53%에서의 열교환량은 각각 30%, 33%, 34%, 37% 정도 증가하였다. 또한 고온재생기의 흡수액 입구농도가 56%, 55%, 54%, 53% 일 때 공기측 입구온도가 $170^{\circ}C$에서 $210^{\circ}C$로 증가함에 따라 고온재생기의 열교환량은 각각 140%, 160%, 220%, 224% 정도 증가하였다.

In this study, heat and mass transfer characteristics of five components solution (LiBr＋Lil＋LiNO$_3$＋LiCl＋$H_2O$) which could be substituted for commonly used LiBr solution are tested using a helical absorber. The arrangement of helical-typed heat exchangers allows to make the system more compact as compared to conventional one. The effects of experimental parameters, such as the solution flow rate, cooling water, solution temperature, solution concentration and surfactant have been investigated in view of the heat and mass transfer. The results of the experiment of heat and mass transfer performance show that five components solution should have 2％ higher concentration fur equal absorption capacity of LiBr solution. But considering that five components solution have higher solubility than LiBr solution about 4％ high concentration, five components solution could be applied to a small sized water cooled or air cooled absorption chiller/heater. The increase of heat and mass transfer coefficient by surfactant addition is about 25∼30％ and 23∼40％ respectively.

Micro gas turbine (MGT) has received attention recently as a small-scale distributed power source. Due to many advantages such as their small size, low maintenance cost and minimal vibrations during operation, they are expected to become widespread in a wide range of applications. The exhaust heat emitted by the MGT is in the form of an exhaust gas that is about $270^{\circ}C$ which is an extremely clean gas. Korea Gas Corporation (KOGAS) has researched performance characteristics of a cogeneration system combining 28kW class MGT and 13 USRT class absorption hot and chilled water generator in the local condition. The present results of this study can be summarized as follows: (1) in heating mode, the total efficiency of cogen. system is about $65\%$ and heating capacity is 33kW at 25kW MGP power (2) in cooling mode, COP is about 0.6 at 22kW MGT power.

The objectives of this paper are to measure the heat transfer and pressure drop of the heat transfer tube for an evaporator of absorption system applications. Five types of heat transfer tubes with different shape and heat transfer area are tested in the present experiment. Heat transfer and pressure drop performance of heat transfer tubes are measured in various operating conditions, and compared each other. The results show that the heat transfer coefficient of thermoexcel notch tube increases about 79.6% and 45.3% at the film Reynolds number 69.7 compared with that of bare tube and low fin tube, respectively. The thermoexcel notch tube is show the best performance considering pressure drop and heat transfer coefficient.

This article reviews absorption cooling R＆D in Europe from the viewpoint of fundamentals, cycle development and applications. The review contains information on R＆D, predominantly of public projects in the field of sorption cooling. We report on research which is performed in Europe with some stress on Germany. There is progress in fundamentals, thermodynamic cycle design, and also applications. In the fundamentals part the discussion about thermodynamics, working pairs, and heat and mass transfer is reflected. Today's discussion on thermodynamic cycles is not very strong. Main focus is on special solid sorption cycles, compression­sorption hybrids, and open cycles, In the applications part the chilling business is the main issue. Some interest is given to the improvement of efficiency on and the adaptation to low temperature waste heat use, but the stress is on the use of solar energy as heat source. The area of heat pumping for heating purposes is less prominent but not at all negligible. Finally, industrial heat pumping involves the reverse cycle (heat transformer, heat pump type Ⅱ) also, but there is no significant activity.

Experimental results for performance characteristics of small $NH_3$ absorption chiller/ heater are presented. The apparatus consists of 7RT water-cooled absorption system, solution pump, boiler, cooling tower and peripheral devices. The effect of experimental parameters, such as refrigerant mass flow rate, solution mass flow rate and cooling water temperature have been investigated in view of the system performance. The capacity of each heat exchanger increased as refrigerant mass flow rate increased in cooling mode. Also, a cooling capacity increased as a strong solution mass flow rate increased. The cooling and heating COP show 0.5, 1.5 regardless of refrigerant mass flow rate, respectively. The results focus on the evaluation for performance characteristics of system with respect to variation of refrigerant mass flow rate under standard design conditions.

At the $21^{st}$ Conference of the Parties (COP) of the United Nations Climate change Conference, representatives of the 195 member countries reached an agreement requiring all participating countries, including Korea, to establish proactive measures to fight climate change. Under this vision, energy network technologies are deemed as a key site of research towards meeting this goal. Herein, the headquarters of the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) is a worthy site for carrying out energy network technology research insofar as it contains various heat sources. To prepare for this research, a study was conducted analyzing the heat sources at KIER based on measured data. The study also consisted of developeding simulation models to predict the amount of energy savings that could be derived by replacing an absorption chiller/heater with an absorption heat pump during winter seasons. In our simulation results, we observed a primary energy saving ratio of 65~72% based on the water temperature from the heat source of a coal power plant.

This paper presents demonstration study results derived through field testing of a solar assisted cooling and heating system for the library of a cultural center building located in Gwangju, Korea. The area of demanded cooling and heating for building was about 350m2. Solar hot water was delivered by means of a 200m2 array of evacuated tubular solar collector (ETSC) to drive a single-effect (LiBr/H2O) absorption chiller of 10RT nominal cooling capacity. From March in 2008 to February in 2009, demonstration test were performed for solar cooling and heating system. After experiments and analysis, this study found that solar thermal system was 84% for the solar hot water supply and 12% for space heating and 4% for space cooling.
