The purpose of this paper is to investigate the cooling and heating performance of a standalone-type thermoelectric system equipped with a thermoelectric module. The system consists of a blower and two thermoelectric modules with a fin, which is soldered onto both sides of the thermoelectric module and a courtesy light. The thermoelectric system experiment is conducted with the intake voltage to find the optimum cooling and heating performance of each. The results showed that the cooling capacity and coefficient of performance (COP) were 22 W and 0.31, and the heating capacity and COP were 147 W and 1.1, respectively. In the vehicle cooling and heating performance test in a climate wind tunnel, the results showed that the standalone thermoelectric system's cooling performance was slightly better than the base system; and the heating performance of the standalone thermoelectric system was $54.1^{\circ}C$ and the COP was 1.3, compared to the base system.

그간 복사 냉방은 천정이나 바닥면을 냉각 표면으로 활용하기 때문에 표면 온도를 노점 온도 이상으로 높이거나 보조적인 제습 에어컨을 설치해야 하는 문제가 있었다. 본 연구에서는 주택 적용을 목표로 복사 판넬 표면에 결로를 유발시킴으로써 냉각 열량을 증가시키고 실내 쾌적감도 개선할 수 있는 1.0 kW 용량의 복사-대류 방식의 하이브리드 냉방기에 대하여 검토하였다. 이 냉방기는 2개의 냉동 사이클 - 강제 대류 제습 사이클과 복사 판넬 냉방 사이클로 구성된다. 시제품 실험 결과 복사 판넬 사이클의 경우 실외 $35^{\circ}C/24^{\circ}C$, 실내 $27^{\circ}C/19.5^{\circ}C$의 표준 조건에서 냉매 순환량은 8.8 kg/h, 응축 온도 $51^{\circ}C$, 증발 온도 $8.8^{\circ}C$, 냉방 능력은 376 W, 성적계수는 1.75로 나타났다. 또한 복사 판넬의 온도는 $13^{\circ}C{\sim}14^{\circ}C$ 사이에서 고르게 분포되었다. 또한, 상대 습도가 감소할수록 냉방 능력은 감소하나 소비 동력은 거의 변화가 없었다. 제습 사이클의 경우, 표준 조건에서 냉매 순환량은 21.1 kg/h, 응축온도 $61^{\circ}C$, 증발 온도 $5.0^{\circ}C$, 냉방능력은 949 W, COP는 2.11로 나타났다. 한편, 복사 판넬과 제습 냉방 사이클을 동시에 가동시키며 표준 조건에서 시험 결과, 복사 판넬의 냉방 능력은 333 W, 제습부의 냉방 능력은 894 W, COP는 1.89로 나타났다. 홴 풍량이 감소하면 복사 판넬, 제습부 모두 냉방 능력이 감소함을 보였는데 특히 제습부에서 감소량이 두드러졌다. 본 실험 데이터를 기반으로 냉방 부하의 변동에 대비하여 가능한 제어 로직을 제시하였다.

The purpose of the present work is to investigate the influence of the refrigerant adulteration by LiBr solution on the cooling capacity and COP for three different types of abso게tion chillers: a single-effect type, a series-flow double-effect type and a parallel-flow with double-effect type. A simulation program has been prepared for the cyclic analysis of absorption chillers. With some assumptions, the calculations have been performed by solving the mass balance equation, energy balance equation and the state equation simultaneously. The range of the LiBr concentration of refrigerant was 0% to 20% in the present study. For the single-effect absorption chiller, the maximum decrease in the cooling capacity was 10% at the 20% of LiBr concentration. For the double-effect chiller, the capacity was decreased by 11.1% for the parallel-flow type and the series-flow type. Also, the COP was reduced by 3.0% in single-effect, 2.8% in series-flow type (SR=0.4) and 2.3% in parallel-flow type.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the experimental performance characteristics of a water-to-water geothermal heat pump featuring a vapor refrigerant injection for the production of hot water. The performance of geothermal heat pump with a vapor injection was evaluated by comparing with that of a conventional geothermal heat pump without a vapor injection. For heating operation, the geothermal heat pump with a vapor injection is superior in COP and heating capacity. The vapor injection was more effective for supplying hot water while overloading. The vapor injection was effective for the improvement of the cooling capacity. However, the vapor injection was not effective for the increasing of COP according to the increased input of a compressor. The advantage of vapor injection in water-to-water geothermal heat pump become disappeared while cooling operation with lower part loading.

This paper presents an overview of testing and analyzing field performance of a centrifugal chiller which has a rated capacity of 200 RT(703 kW). Field data of a chiller installed in the cleanroom research building of KIST has been collected far performance analysis. The operating data included start-up, shut-down, and quasi-static state where cooling capacity and compressor power consumption varied cyclically. It was found that the steady-state thermodynamic model could be applied to relate the cooling capacity and COP under quasi-static conditions. The results led to finding the required cooling load pattern and a possible energy saving method. This study provides a method of evaluating performance of a large capacity centrifugal chiller in which field test is necessary.

A numerical study was conducted to calculate the cooling capacity variation of a power plant ACC (air-cooled condenser) caused by changes in operating conditions. A numerical model was developed using the ${\varepsilon}-NTU$ and finite volume method, containing 100 elements for a single low fin tube. The model was validated through a comparison of cooling capacity between the simulated values and manufacturer's data. Even though simple assumptions and previously presented heat transfer correlations were applied to the model, the prediction error was 1.9%. The simulated variables of the operating conditions were air velocity, air temperature, and mass flux. The analysis on the variation of thermal resistance along the tube showed that the water side thermal resistance was higher than the air side thermal resistance at the downstream end of the tube, indicating that the ACC capacity could be increased by applying technology to enhance in-tube flow condensation heat transfer.

Multi A/C is consisted of one outdoor unit and several indoor units. When the Multi Air conditioner is installed, we have to be cautious of the length of pipe arrangements. When the pipe arrangement is installed with unbalance or too long, there can be cooling capacity losses and low EER. An experimental study was carried out about the operation characteristic of Multi Air conditioner varying the length of pipe arrangements. If the pipe arrangement of the system is 15m, the cooling capacity and EER were decreased 0.8% and 1.3% respectively compared to the case when pipe arrangement is 5m. In case of 25m, the cooling capacity and EER were decreased 10.7% and 12.2% respectively compared to the case of 5m. When the length of pipe is not same each other, it is profitable to make the pipe length of highest capacity indoor unit shortest.

Air conditioners adopting high energy efficiency and low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerant are being developed globally. In case of commercial air conditioner, R32 with lower GWP than R410A is attracting industrial attentions. In this study, the performance of water-to-water geothermal heat pump adopting R32 is compared with that of the heat pump using R410A. By using R32 instead of R410A, heating capacity and COP in heating standard condition can be increased by 8.8% and 6.3% respectively. Also, cooling capacity and COP in cooling standard condition can be increased by 5.3% and 3.1% respectively by using R32. But in case of using R32, systemic improvements are required to decrease discharge temperature of compressor since discharge temperature rises abnormally in heating operations.

Four male swamp buffaloes weighing $460.5{\pm}44.6kg$ were used to study the effects of different cooling techniques on draught capacity. Each animal carted an 882 kg load on the same asphalt road for one hour during four different time periods: 9:00-10:00 A.M., 10:30-11:30 A.M., 2:00-3:00 P.M. and 3:30-4:30 P.M. Simultaneously, all animals were subjected to five different treatments on five days of similar environmental conditions. In Treatment 1, animals were put stationary in a field and did no work; in Treatment 2, animals were worked without any cooling method; in Treatment 3, fifteen-minute wallow was allowed to animals prior to working; in Treatment 4, animals were covered with wetted jute bags while working, and in Treatment 5, two buckets of water were poured over the buffaloes' trunks just prior to working. The experiment was conducted from April to July 1989, when the weather was very hot. It was found that cooling methods and working times did not affect the draught efficiency of buffaloes during the one hour, but did affect physiological traits. The work load had a larger partial effect on physiological responses of buffalo other than respiration rate than did climatic variables except on the respiration rate of the buffaloes. One cooling technique that seemed to slow the increase of body temperature while working was covering the buffalo's back with wetted jute bags. Animals working at different times had significant differences in the increase of physiological traits except pulse rate.
