공기압축기는 공장 및 설비 가동에 사용되는 필수 장비로써 미국 산업용 전기의 약 30%를 소비하고 있으며, 소비전력 절감을 위해 고급화된 기술 방안들이 제시되고 있다. 압축공기 변화량의 진폭변동이 작을 경우 시스템 안정성이 증가하며, 소비전력을 절감시켜 효율적인 에너지 시스템 설계를 가능하게 한다. 일반적으로 통계적 분석에서는 데이터의 분포를 정규분포, 로그정규분포, 감마분포 등을 이용하여 나타내지만, 압축공기 변화량을 나타내는 데이터처럼 긴 꼬리를 가지는 경우, 한 가지의 분포를 적용하는 것은 적합하지 않을 수 있다. 이에 따라, 본 논문에서는 압축공기의 변화량과 관련된 데이터를 두 개의 영역으로 나눈 혼합분포함수를 적용하여 평균전력 절감 가능성을 제시하였다. 이는 압축공기 변화량이 충분히 큰 수를 초과하는 영역에서는 가우시안 분포보다는 일반 파레토 분포가 더 정확한 퀀타일 값을 추정하는 데에 적합하기 때문이다.

The performance of a refrigerant mixture of propane(R290)/isobutane(R600a) as a substitute for CFC12 was investigated in a domestic refrigerator with single evaporator. A thermodynamic cycle simulation indicated an increase in COP of a 1.7 to 2.4% with R-290/600a in the composition range of 0.2 to 0.6 mass fraction of R290 compared to CFC12. For the tests, two units($299{\ell}$, $465{\ell}$) were used. All refrigeration components remained the same throughout the tests, except that the length of capillary tube and amount of charge were changed for the mixture. The refrigerators were fully instrumented with more than 20 thermocouples, 2 pressure transducers, and watt/watt-hour meter for each refrigerator. 'Energy consumption test' and 'no load pulldown test' were performed under the same condition. The experimental results obtained with the same compressor indicated that R-290/600a mixture at 0.6 mass fraction of R290 showed a 3 to 5% increase in energy efficiency and a faster cooling speed compared to CFC12. The R-290/600a mixture showed a shorter compressor on-time and a lower compressor dome temperature than CFC12. In conclusion, the proposed hydrocarbon mixture seems to be an appropriate candidate to replace CFC12 without causing more environmental problems.

히트 펌프는 지열이나 태양열 등의 신재생 에너지를 이용하거나 기타 폐열을 재활용하여 기존의 전기 히팅 난방 시스템들보다 에너지 소비율을 낮출 수 있다는 장점으로 인해 그린 에너지 시스템으로써 주목을 받아 왔다. 고효율 히트펌프 시스템 설계를 위한 연구는 오랫동안 지속되어 왔지만, 각각의 구성요소가 유기적이며, 변화에 유연한 해석모델은 존재하지 않는다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 공기 열 원식 히트 펌프를 AMESim Software를 이용해 구성하였다. 독자적으로 개발한 스크롤 압축기 해석 모델을 히트펌프 시스템에 조합함으로써 효율 향상 방안을 모색하였으며, 실험 데이터를 이용하여 개발한 해석모델을 검증하였다. 실험 데이터와 개발한 해석 모델을 이용하여 예측된 데이터를 비교한 결과 최대 오차가 10% 이내로 두 데이터가 잘 일치하였다. 본 연구에서 개발한 히트펌프 해석모델은 향후 시제품을 개발하고 효율 향상을 위한 연구 등에 유용하게 사용될 것으로 사료된다.

In this study, a $CO_2$ air-conditioning system was investigated with different types of electrically driven compressors, parallel flow type gas cooler, four-pass type evaporator, internal heat exchanger integrated with accumulator, and electric expansion valve. The experimental study was conducted under various operating conditions (ie., different rotational compressor speeds, air inlet temperatures and air velocity coming into heat exchangers). The experimental results showed the cooling capacity was 3.5kW at $35^{\circ}C$ ambient temperature when the vehicle was idle (ie., the worst condition for cooling off the gas cooler). In terms of performance effect of the compressor, the e-RP model had a slightly better cooling capacity and coefficient of performance than the e-GR model under the same test conditions. An experimental equation for optimum cooling-performance control was also suggested based on the results. A high-pressure control algorithm for the super critical cycle was determined to achieve both maximum cooling performance and efficient energy consumption. The results from the experimental equation coincided with those of previous experimental studies.

With the improvement of standard of manufacturing process, oil cooling unit for manufacturing machine has been developed. A control system must be designed in order to keep oil temperature of the machine within a very restricted range and also to reduce energy consumption. In order to get the low deviation of the controlled temperature and the low efficiency, the on/off control scheme is gradually being replaced by a variable speed refrigeration system (VSRS) with an inverter driven compressor over recent decades. This paper gives the flowchart to control the compressor speed and also the electronic expansion valve (EEV) aperture in oil cooling unit refrigeration system using R22 as the refrigerant. This control scheme has already tested in experiment apparatus with room temperature condition constant at $25^{\circ}C$ and variable load condition at 4kW, 6kW, 7kW, 8kW and 10kW.

The azeotrope of methyl acetate methanol and water was isolated using extractive distillation with water as entrainer. The pressure-swing extractive distillation (PSED) process and vapor side-stream distillation column (VSDC) with the rectifier process were designed to separate the methyl acetate, methanol and water mixture. It was revealed that the VSDC with the rectifier process had a reduction in energy consumption than the PSED process. Four control schemes of the two process were investigated: Double temperature control scheme (CS1), $Q_R/F$ feedforward control of reboiler duty scheme for PESD (CS2), $Q_R/F$ feedback control scheme for VSDC (CS3), the feedback control scheme of sensitive plate temperature of side-drawing distillation column to dominate the compressor shaft speed (CS4). Feed flow and composition disturbance were used to evaluate the dynamic performance. As a result, CS4 is a preferable choice for separation of methyl acetate-methanol-water mixture. A control scheme combining the operating parameters of dynamic equipment with the control indicators of static equipment was proposed in this paper. It means using the sensitive plate temperature of side-drawing column to control the compressor shaft speed. This is a new control scheme for extractive distillation.

In this study, dynamic characteristics analysis of AC system is investigated using a cool thermal storage system. A analysing program for cool thermal storage AC system is developed. The performances are studied by several variables and dynamic characteristics. Comparing the result at conventional operation condition with that at the condition using ice storage system, this study showed the effects of the sub cooled degree, superheated degree, efficiency of compressor and evaporating temperature. At the condition using thermal storage system, the thermal storage process was operated during midnight being not needed the cooling of the AC unit through the continuous running of the condenser. The refrigerant was sub-cooled using stored energy after being discharged from the air source condenser during the daytime. The COP was increased owing to the sub-cooling of refrigerant during daytime, thus the power consumption was effectively decreased.

This paper presents numerical study on dynamic characteristics of evaporator to control evaporator superheat and compressor capacity with optimum condition in refrigeration system. It is very important to reduce energy consumption and to keep room temperature within a very restricted range with minimum oscillation in some special applications of the refrigeration system. Heat exchange is mainly happened in the evaporator. So, making mathematical model of evaporator and analyzing evaporator characteristics are necessary in order to control the superheat and the capacity of the system. A mathematical model based on the one dimensional partial differential equations representing mass and energy conservation and a tube-wall energy is described. A set of ordinary differential equation is formulated by integrating separately over the two regions(two-phase and vapor) generally presented in a heat exchanger.

Fuel economy has always been a major issue for the automotive industry due to environmental concerns. In particular, it is known that only 5-20% of the energy generated in a car that mainly uses an internal combustion engine is converted to increase fuel efficiency, many methods have been proposed. Among these methods, weight reduction is most commonly used because it is the simplest and cheapest. Weight is always the main reason for energy consumption, therefore, reducing weight is the best way to increase fuel efficiency while simultaneously saving on material costs. To reduce the weight of a compressor, material substitution is used. However, aluminum (a lighter metal substitute) is more fragile than steel, therefore, structural stability must be verified through testing. In this paper, we performed a 3D analysis to investigate whether aluminum can be used without compromising structural stability. Our investigation included static analysis and thermal analysis. As a result, we found that an aluminum swash plate can be safely applied on a shaft instead of steel; it reduces weight while maintaining stability that is equal to or better than steel.
