Performance factors such as the EER(Energy Efficiency Ratio) and the COP (Coefficient of Performance) are being replaced by seasonal energy efficiency factors, like the SEER (Seasonal EER) and the SCOP (Seasonal COP) to evaluate the performance of a heat pump by the time of the year. Seasonal performance factors, such as the CSPF (Cooling Seasonal Performance Factor) and the HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor) are used to describe the heat pump's performance during the cool and hot seasons. In this study, the optimization of all heat pump's operating parameters was experimentally conducted to enhance the SEER based on the EU standard (EN 14825). Moreover, the SEER was improved by the compressor frequency, as well as indoor and outdoor fan speeds. In addition, the performance characteristics of the heat pump were studied under partial load conditions. As a result, the SEER was enhanced by 17% when the compressor frequency was optimized. An additional 2% improvement was achievable with the optimization of indoor and outdoor fan speeds.

기존의 증기압축식과 흡수식을 결합한 하이브리드 히트펌프는 $50^{\circ}C$정도의 저열원에서 $80{\sim}90^{\circ}C$의 온수를 효과적으로 생산할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 EES를 사용하여 2단 압축 하이브리드 히트펌프와 1단 압축 하이브리드 히트펌프의 성능을 비교하였다. 동일한 작동조건에서 2단 압축 하이브리드 히트펌프는 1단 압축 하이브리드 히트펌프보다 약간 높은 COP를 가지며 더 안정적인 상태에서 운전이 가능한 것으로 나타났다. 2단 압축 하이브리드 히트펌프에서 작동 유체의 최대 온도는 1단 압축 하이브리드 히트펌프보다 40K정도 낮게 나타났으며 이는 윤활유의 작동에 무리없는 운전상태를 가능하게 한다. 1단과 2단 하이브리드 히트펌프 모두 UA값이 증가할 때 COP는 감소하였으며 열출력은 증가하였다.

하절기 에너지 이용의 합리화를 위해서는 소형 열병합 발전의 설비이용률을 높일 수 있는 지역냉방의 보급이 확대되어야 한다. 지역냉방에는 흡수식 냉동기와 제습냉방기 있는데 상대적으로 낮은 열원을 사용할 수 있어 지역난방에 연계할 수 있는 제습냉방이 공동주택용으로 각광을 받고 있다. 본 논문에서는 고체제습제를 이용며 현열로터 대신에 히트펌프를 사용한 하이브리드 제습냉방 시스템의 주거환경에서의 성능 특성을 분석하였다. 실내공급공기, 실내리턴공기, 실외흡입공기, 재생열량, 소비전력을 측정하여 인터넷을 이용한 모니터링을 통하여 데이터를 분석하였다. 전체에너지는 외기온도가 증가할수록 감소하였고 냉방능력은 외기온도가 증가할수록 증가하고, 외기습도가 감소할수록 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 성능계수는 냉방능력과 유사한 경향을 보이는 것으로 분석되었다.

냉동기는 비단열모세관을 채택하여 사용함으로써 사이클의 효율을 향상시킬 수 있다. 비단열모세관은 모세관과 흡입관을 접합함으로써 둘 사이에 열전달이 일어날 수 있도록 한 장치로서 SLHX 라고 부른다. 두 관을 접합하는 방법은 다양하며 이는 사이클의 성능에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 가장 널리 사용되는 두 가지 접합방법이 냉동사이클에 미치는 영향을 해석하였다. 실험결과 용접형 SLHX의 열저항이 테이프형 SLHX의 열저항 보다 크게 작은 것으로 나타났다. 이를 이용한 사이클해석 결과 용접형 SLHX는 COP 와 냉동능력을 5.09%와 14.77% 향상시키고 테이프형 SLHX는 각각 5.05%와 14.75% 향상시켜 둘 사이의 차이는 매우 작은 것으로 나타났다.

Newly designed vapor-injection heat pumps have been proposed and analyzed in the present study. An economizer-type vapor-injection (V-I) system has been employed as the standard system because of its reliability and simple control method. The V-I system has a re-cooler and re-heater for cooling and heating, respectively. Solar panels have been installed in the V-I heat pump as well as in the re-heater in order to enhance heating capacity and performance. R410A has been employed as a working fluid and performance analysis has been conducted under various conditions. Results are summarized as follows: (1) The V-I system with the re-cooler yielded a marginally higher coefficient of performance (COP) than the conventional V-I refrigeration system. (2) By increasing the re-cooler cooling capacity, enhanced system performance as compared to the conventional V-I system was observed. (3) The re-heater negatively affected the system performance; hence, the V-I heat pump with the re-heater yielded a lower COP than that of the conventional V-I heat pump used for heating. (4) Although the solar panels increased the system performance, this increase could not offset performance degradation by the re-heater.

Thermoelectric module is a device that can produce cooling in a direct manner using the electrical energy. The purpose of this study is to investigate the performance of thermoelectric module and cooling system equipped with the thermoelectric module. The performance of a thermoelectric module is estimated using two methods; theoretical analysis based on one-dimensional energy equations and experimental tests using heat source, heat sink and brass conduction extenders. For the thermoelectric cooling system, the temperatures in the chamber are recorded and then compared with those of lumped system analysis. The results show that the cooling capacity and COP of the thermoelectric module increases as the temperature difference between hot and cold surface decreases, and there is particular current at which cooling capacity reaches its maximum value. The experimental results for the thermoelectric cooling system are similar to those of lumped system analysis.

Steel-pipe civil structures, including steel-pipe energy piles and cast-in-place piles (CIPs), utilize steel pipes as their primary reinforcements. These steel pipes facilitate the circulation of a working fluid through their annular crosssection, enabling heat exchange with the surrounding ground formation. In this study, the cooling performance of a ground source heat pump (GSHP) system that incorporated steel-pipe civil structures was investigated to assess their applicability. First of all, the thermal performance test was conducted with steel-pipe CIPs to evaluate the average heat exchange amount. Subsequently, a GSHP system was designed and implemented within an office container, considering the various types of steel-pipe civil structures. During the performance evaluation tests, parameters such as the coefficient of performance (COP) and entering water temperature (EWT) were closely monitored. The outcomes indicated an average COP of 3.74 for the GSHP system and the EWT remained relatively stable throughout the tests. Consequently, the GSPH system demonstrated its capability to consistently provide a sufficient heat source, even during periods of high cooling thermal demand, by utilzing the steel-pipe civil structures.

Purpose: This paper is aimed at analyzing the heating performance of the vertical closed loop type Geothermal Heat Pump System (GHPS) distributing the farm site and providing basic data of the GHPS. Method: Seedling greenhouse heating was made from October 2012 to May 2013. The seedling greenhouse was divided into 4 sectors (A, B, C and D zone, total $3,300m^2$) with different temperatures. It was heated from 5PM to 8AM, and during the night the greenhouse was covered by non-woven fabric thermal curtains along the upper 2m of the greenhouse for temperature maintenance. In order to analyze the heating performance of the GHPS, power consumption and operating time of the GHPS, inlet and outlet water temperature of the condenser, temperatures of each zone of the greenhouse, and ambient temperature were measured. Results: When operating only one heat pump unit, heat generated in the condenser decreased as the experiment progressed and power consumption increased correspondingly. However, the heating coefficient of performance decreased from 3.3 to 2.0 rapidly. Also, when operating two heat pump units, heat generated in the condenser decreased and power consumption increased. Heating coefficient of performance decreased from 4.5 to 3.7 rapidly. When the set temperature of the greenhouse was $13.7{\sim}20.1^{\circ}C$ and minimum ambient temperature was $-20.8{\sim}4.8^{\circ}C$, the annually accumulated heat and power consumption were 520,623 kW, 142,304 kW, respectively. Conclusion: When the set temperature of the greenhouse was $13.7{\sim}20.1^{\circ}C$ and the minimum ambient temperature was $20.8{\sim}4.8^{\circ}C$, the annually accumulated heat and power consumption were 520,623 kW, 142,304 kW, respectively. When operating only one heat pump unit, the heating COP was 2.0~3.3, and when operating 2 heat pump units, it was 3.7~4.5. If several heat pumps are installed in one GHPS, it is suggested that all heat pumps be operated except in special cases. Because the scale of the water pumps are set to the scale of when all heat pump units are operating, if even one unit is not operating, the power consumption will increase. That becomes the cause of COP decrease.

정수장 내 축열조 설치 원수열원 히트펌프시스템의 동적 특성을 TRNSYS 프로그램을 이용하여 모델링 하였다. 원수열원 히트펌프의 실증평가를 위해 성남정수장 내 축열조가 설치된 히트펌프 실험결과를 이용하여 검증하였고, 본 설비는 2010년 11월부터 운전되고 있다. 모델링 결과 원수열원 히트펌프의 평균 COP는 냉 난방 시 각각 4.97과 3.17을 나타냈다. 축열조 용량은 $5m^3$에서 $20m^3$로 변화시킬 때, 축열조 용량 $10m^3$ 에서 가장 높은 COP와 소비전력이 나타났다. 설치지역으로 서울, 인천, 강릉, 그리고 광주를 고려하였고, 지역에 따른 COP와 소비전력은 큰 변화가 없었으나 소비전력량에 있어서 난방 시에 위도가 높은 서울의 소비전력량이 가장 높으며, 냉방 시에 가장 낮게 나타났다. 본 시스템을 동일한 용량의 물-공기방식의 히트펌프와 비교할 때 평균 25%정도 낮은 소비전력량을 나타냈다.
