A wind-heat generation system was developed and the system consisted of an electric motor, a heat generation drum, a heat exchanger, two circulation pumps and a water storage tank. The heat generation drum is an essential element determining performance of the system. Frictional heat was generated by rotation of a rotor in the drum filled with a working fluid, and the heat stored in the fluid was used to increase water temperature through the heat exchanger. Effects of some factors such as rotor shape, kind and amount of working fluid, rotor rpm and water flow rate in the heat exchanger, affecting the system performance were investigated. Amounts of heat generated were varied, ranging from 126,000 to 32,760 kJ/hr, depending on combination of the factors. Statistical analysis using GLM procedure revealed that the most influential factor to decide the system performance was amount of the fluid in the drum. Experiments showed that the faster the speed of the rotor, the greater heat was obtained. The greatest efficiency of the heat generation system, electric power consumption rate vs gained heat amount of water, was about 70%. Though the heat amount was not enough for plant bed heating of a 0.1-ha greenhouse, the system would be promising if some supplementary heat source such as air- water heat pump is added.

본 연구의 목적은 수소연료전지 자동차의 난방부하 대응을 위한 스택 냉각수를 활용하여서, 전동식 히트펌프 시스템에 대한 난방성능 특성을 다양한 운전조건 변화에 대해서 고찰하는 것이다. 냉각수와 냉매(R-134a)와의 열교환을 위해서 판형열교환기를 적용하였고, 전동식 히트펌프 시스템에 적용되는 실내열교환기 입구의 공기온도와 압축기 회전수를 변화시키면서 난방 성능 특성을 분석하였다. 실내열교환기 입구 공기 온도 변화에 대해서 난방 성능은 거의 동일한 결과를 보이고 있는데, 이는 입출구 온도차와 공기 측 밀도의 변화가 균형을 이루었기 때문으로 판단된다. 반면, 히트펌프 시스템 효율(COP)의 경우, 난방 성능은 온도변화에 따라 동일하였지만, 유량 변화로 인하여서, 압축기 소모동력이 감소하였기 때문에, 실내열 교환기 입구 온도가 감소함에 따라서, 시스템 효율은 증가하는 경향을 보이고 있다. 추가적으로, EEV개도가 45%정도까지 열리는 구간에서는, 압축기 소모전력 감소하였기 때문에, 시스템 효율이 증가하였고, 그 이후에는 동일한 시스템 효율을 유지하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 압축기 회전수 변화 시에는 난방성능이 증가하면, 시스템 효율은 감소하는 경향을 보여주고 있다. 이러한 원인은 압축기 회전수 증가에 따른 유량의 증가로 판단된다. 향후, 열원으로 사용하는 냉각수에 대한 운전조건을 변화시켜가면서, 난방성능 특성을 분석하여, 전동식 히트펌프의 난방부하 대응을 위한 제어 방안을 연구하고자 한다.

South Korea aims to shift the 20 percent of electricity supplement from the fossil fuel including the nuclear to renewable energy systems by 2030. In order to realize this agenda in the buildings, the plus energy house is necessary to increase the renewable energy supplement beyond the zero energy house. This paper suggested KePSH (KIER Energy-Plus Solar House) and energy performance of house and renewable energy systems was investigated. The KePSH has the target of generating 40% surplus energy than the conventional house energy consumption. The plus energy house is the house that generates surplus energy from the renewable energy sources than that consumes. In order to minimize the cooling and heating load of the house, the shape design and passive parameters design were conducted. Based on the experimental data of the plug load in the typical house, the total energy consumption of the house was estimated. This paper also suggested renewable energy sources integrated HVAC system using air-source heat pump system. Two cases of renewable energy system integration methods were suggested, and energy performance of the cases was investigated using TRNSYS 17 program. The results showed that the BIPV (building integrated photovoltaic) system (i.e., CASE 1) and BIPV and BIST system (i.e., CASE 2) shows 42% and 29% of plus energy rate, respectivey. Also, CASE 1 can generate 59% more surplus energy compared with the CASE 2 under the same installation area.

Cement mortar and concrete can be used as grouts but problems regarding shrinkage and the discord of coefficients of thermal expansion between grouts and HDPE pipes has to be solved. Thermal conductivities of wet condition two times larger than those of dry condition, except for pure cement mortar. The addition of sand into the cement grouts greatly increases the thermal conductivity. The addition of bentonite into the cement grouts reduces thermal conductivity thus reducing the density. Bentonite grouting must be used only below the groundwater table since bentonite grouts possesses high shrinkage property in dry condition. The addition of sand prevents the shrinkage of bentonite grouts. Bentonite manufactured in Korea can be used since they possess similar thermal conductivities with imported products. The addition of sand into the bentonite grouts greatly increases the thermal conductivity.

GHP system utilize national gas as a heat source. It reduces electric peak demand in summer and maintains a constant performance in winter by recovering the waste heat from the engine. Although the initial investment cost of GHP is higher than that of EHP, the overall operating cost of GHP is cheaper than of the EHP. In this study, items for dissatisfaction were summarized based on the results of user questionnaire(200 users), and field tests were made for 10 GHP installation places. The measured COP was estimated much lower than the rated COP by the manufacturer mainly due to partial load operation.

20세기에 대두된 HCFC나 CFC계의 냉매들의 환경에의 악영향을 극복하기 위하여 보다 환경 친화적인 이산화탄소와 같은 자연냉매에 대한 관심이 커지고 있다. 겨울철 대기의 열원을 이용하여 증발을 유도하는 이산화탄소 열펌프는 증발기의 온도가 높아 효율이 상대적으로 낮아지고, 130bar가 넘는 고압으로 인하여 열펌프 설비 부품들의 제작의 어려움이 따르게 된다. 본 연구는 보다 낮은 압력의 새로운 2단 팽창식 $CO_2$ 오토 캐스케이드 열펌프를 고안하여 이러한 단점들을 해소하고 보다 효율을 증가시키고자 하였다. 새로운 오토 캐스케이드 열펌프에 2단 팽창방식과 효과적인 냉각방식의 시스템 구성을 하여 혼합냉매인 $CO_2$ 와 R32를 적용하였다. 공정에 고압 70bar, 중간 팽창압은 25bar, 최종 저압은 10bar를 적용하여 해석한 결과, 현재의 오토 캐스케이드 열펌프 공정의 COP는 1.629이었으나, 개선된 중간 압력 25bar의 2단 팽창 오토 캐스케이드 공정은 2.332로 현재의 공정보다 43.15% 향상되었다. 또한 저압측 증발기의 온도도 $-10^{\circ}C$ 이하가 되어 찬 외기에도 증발이 용이하게 발생되는 공정이 되었다. 본 공정이 향후 $CO_2$ 열펌프의 성능계수를 보다 향상시키고 고압에 따른 부품 문제들의 해소에 기여할 수 있는 공정으로 분석되었다.

Recently scientists and engineers are developing a system to get waste heat of low-temperature level with advanced heat pump, which have not been used up to now. As the reason, it is necessary to examine capability of using waste heat which is raised up in the tunnel of subway out of widely distributed low-temperature waste heat in large cities. Therefore we surveyed thermal environment of the tunnel of subway in $S\check{o}my\check{o}n$, downtown of Pusan, from November 1995 to December 1996 and developed a program to predict the thermal environment of subway on the basis of experimental data and the geometries of tunnels. This paper has proved availability of waste heat of subway when the measured results obtained in subway in the winter time and the simulated results of thermal environment prediction program are compared, as well as has reported results of estimating reliability of the simulation program. As the result, the charateristics of thermal environment in the tunnel of subway in $S\check{o}my\check{o}n$ station in the winter time are to be followed; 1) temperature in the tunnel is about $10^{\circ}C$ higher than outside air temperature, 2) temperature change in the tunnel is less than that in the platform so that we may obtain stable heat source, 3) and when the measured results obtained in subway in the winter time and the simulated results of thermal environment prodiction program is compared, both results show similar tendency. Therefore, we confirm estimating reliability of the simulation program.
