Thermodynamic performance of eight zeotropic R-22 alternative refrigerant mixtures selected by AREP(R-22 Alternative Refrigerants Evaluation Program) and R-32/R-125/R-134a(23%/25%/52%), namely R-407C were evaluated by the "drop-in" simulation method. An existing air conditioner was selected and its design data were used for the simulation. "ARI Test A" air conditions were applied. The degree of vapor superheat at the compressor inlet fixed at $5^{\circ}C$ for all the mixtures. The results of the simulation were compared with those of R-22. COPs of all mixtures except for R-32/R-227ea(35%/65%) and R-32/R-125/R-134a(10%/70%/20%), were higher than that of R-22 by 2%~8%, while the capacities were all lower than that of R-22 by 13%~27%. COP of R-32/R-134a(40%/60%) was 2.4% higher but the capacity was 15% lower than those of R-22. In the case of R-32/R-134a(30%/70%), COP and capacity were 5.5% higher and 15% lower than those of R-22, respectively. Among the ternary mixtures, R-407C and R-32/R-125/R-134a(30%/10%/60%) showed the best performance. COP of R-407C was 2.4% higher than those of R-22 but the capacity was 15% lower.

In this paper, a linear motor piston amplitude estimator using phase lag filter has been implemented. In order to control the cooling capability of a refrigerator or an air conditioner in which liner compressors are applied, the piston speed should be controlled. The piston speed control can be obtained by adjusting the frequency or the stroke of linear motors. The dynamic performance of linear compressors depends on how accurately the stroke or the piston amplitude is estimated. A linear motor piston amplitude estimator using phase lag filter is proposed and the superior performance of our estimator is verified via some simulation studies.

선형전동기(linear motor)는 일반 회전형 모터에 비해 직선 구동력을 직접 발생시키는 특유의 장점이 있으므로 직선 구동력이 필요한 시스템에서 회전형에 비해 절대적으로 우세하다. 선형전동기의 성능인 추력을 스테이터, 코어, 영구자석 등의 구성요소의 형상과 치수, 코어와 영구자석의 극간격, 공극, 코일의 권수에 따라서 결정된다. 본 논문에서 제안한 2kW급 단상 구동형 횡자속 선형전동기는 압축기 제작에 필요한 직경 50mm, 구동 스트로크 18mm로 설계하였다. 또한 pole pitch가 20mm로 설계하였으며 요구되는 평균추력은 940N이다. 제작된 압축기의 특징은 고정자와 이동자가 맞닿는 flux path를 넓히기 위해서 최대한 경사진 각도의 형상으로 제작하였으며 경사의 각도가 커지면 커질수록 압축기로 구동하는 이동자와 고정된 부위사이에서 발생하는 흡인력이 상쇄되는 구조이기 때문에 진동의 원인으로 가장 크게 작용한다는 디텐트력이 작다는 것이 특징이며, 진동특성 등에 유리한 것으로 판단된다.

In this paper, a motor parameter identification system has been implemented to improve the performance of the position sensorless stroke controller for linear compressors. In order to control the cooling capability of a refrigerator or an air conditioner in which linear compressors are applied, the piston speed should be controlled. The piston speed control can be obtained by adjusting the frequency or the stroke of linear motors. The dynamic performance of linear compressors depends on how accurately the stroke or the piston amplitude is estimated. The merits and demerits of Constant method and PIM (Parameter Identification Method) concerning the needed memory space and the stroke error are discussed and verified via some experimental studies.

In this paper, a phase control system has been implemented to improve the dynamic performance of the stroke response for linear compressors. In order to control the cooling capability of a refrigerator or an air conditioner in which liner compressors are applied, the piston speed should be controlled. The piston speed control can be obtained by adjusting the frequency or the stroke of linear motors. The dynamic performance of linear compressors depends on how accurately the stroke or the piston amplitude is estimated. A phase control system is added to the stroke control loop and the superior performance of the phase control system is verified via some simulation studies.
