A popular type of residential air conditioner is the split system which has two separate units: indoor and outdoor units During field installation of the split system, the potential exists for not setting the charge exactly to the manufacturer´s specifications. The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of the refrigerant charge on the performance of the air conditioner. An air conditioner with capillary tube expansions was tested for various refrigerant charges. The results indicated that the more charge resulted in the more flowrate of the refrigerant. The flowrate of the refrigerant was one of the most important factors to understand the e(sects of the charge on the performance of the air conditioner with capillary tube expansions. Under-charge results in wide region of superheated vapor of the refrigerant in the evaporator, while over-charge results in high temperature of the liquid refrigerant in the evaporator.

The evaporative desalination system using solar thermal energy would be the efficient and attractive method to get fresh water from brine due to low carbon dioxide generation. In this research the solar desalination system as a heating source of refrigerant R123 in the evaporator was considered. The circulation of refrigerant in the evaporator can reduce the energy consumption of the system, because of using the latent heat of the refrigerant 123 instead of the sensible heat of present hot water. The system was comprised of the single-stage fresh water production unit on the capacity of 1ton/day with shell and tube type evaporator, heaters instead of solar collector to supply the proper heat to refrigerant, and refrigerant and brine circulation systems. Various operating flowrate and temperature ranges were varied in the experiments to get the optimum design data. The results showed that the optimum flow rate of brine feed rate to evaporator was 1.2Liter/min, and the yield of fresh water was increased as higher temperature of feed brine. It was confirmed that the circulation flowrate of heating source of refrigerant was decrease of one fifth of the present warm water system, and very efficient system for solar desalination.

This paper considers the influence of internal heat exchangers to the efficiency of a refrigerating system using R170. These liquid-gas heat exchangers(internal or suction-line heat exchangers) can, in some cases, yield improved system performance while in other cases they degrade system performance. A steady state mathematical model is used to analysis the performance characteristics of refrigeration system with internal heat exchanger. The influence of operating conditions, such as the mass flowrate of R170, inner diameter tube and length of internal heat exchanger, to optimal dimensions of the heat exchanger is also analyzed in the paper. The main results were summarized as follows : the mass flowrate of R170, inner diameter tube and length of internal heat exchanger, and effectiveness have an effect on the cooling capacity, compressor work and RCI(Relative Capacity Index) of this system. Exception for the effect of inner diameter, the RCI of R170 with respect to refrigerant mass flowrate, the length and effectiveness of internal heat exchanger is about 2.1~3.3% higher than that of R13 at the same experimental conditions. With a thorough grasp of these effect, it is necessary to design the R170 compression refrigeration cycle using internal heat exchanger.

Spray as a liquid atomization technique has wide applications of combustion, painting, chemical, medical and agricultural purpose, and so on. Capillary tubes and expansion valves, as an expansion device of vapor compression type refrigerators, has been used from the early time. But there are some problems in practice, the former can't control refrigerant flowrate exactly and the later most of imported are expensive relatively and has some difficulties to install. Choosing an injector as a new concept of expansion device of refrigerator in this study to improve such troubles of the coming expansion device, the refrigerant spray behavior and refrigeration characteristics are evaluated experimentally. It is verified that the injector with a good function of refrigerant atomization plays a desirable role of refrigerant expansion in the actual refrigeration cycle.

For the design of a liquid direct contact cooling system, thermal and hydraulic analysis has been carried out. Well-known Zukauskas correlations are used to estimate the Nusselt number between the liquid refrigerant columns and the inlet airflow. The inlet air velocity is set at a typical value used in an actual showcase. For a constant column number, the best nozzle arrangement is determined for the maximum heat transfer. Heat transfer increases as the transverse pitch of the refrigerant column decreases. Among all the cases dealt with in the present study, the staggered arrangement with 140-columns of $14{\times}10$ shows the best thermal peformance and the expected temperature drop is $27.8^{\circ}C$. The effect of downstream refrigerant columns on the overall thermal performance is investigated as well.

다중관식 헬리컬 코일형 가스냉각기내 $CO_2$의 열유량과 압력강하는 LMTD 방식을 이용하여 예측하였고 그 결과를 실험값과 비교하였다. $CO_2$와 냉각수의 유량은 각각 0.06~0.075 kg/s이고, 가스냉각기의 냉각압력은 8~10 MPa이다. 초임계 $CO_2$의 냉각시의 열유량과 압력강하는 LMTD 방식을 이용하여 예측하였고, 이때 냉매측 열전달과 압력강하식은 각각 Gnielinski와 Dittus-Boelter 식을 사용하였다. LMTD법으로 예측한 값과 실험값을 비교한 결과, $CO_2$의 열유량과 압력강하는 상대적으로 좋은 일치를 보였다.

An experimental study has been performed to identify the evaporation characteristics of HCFC-22 for transport refrigeration system. Heat transfer coefficients were measured in a horizontal, smooth evaporating tube with an inner diameter of 10.7mm and a length of 2.8m. The refrigerant was heated electrically by surface-wrapped heaters and uniform power is applied along the tube. The entire tube was divided into 7 sections. Surface temperatures of tube and refrigerant temperature in each test section were measured. Pressure drops in each section and the inlet pressure were also measured. The mass flowrate of the refrigerant was controlled and measured. A single tube evaporation test was conducted for different ranges of mass flux of refrigerant, heat flux of evaporator and condensing temperature of transport refrigeration system. The evaporation heat transfer coefficients of HCFC-22 were compared with predictions from the well known Chen's correlations. Averaged heat transfer coefficients in this experiment range from $2kW/m^2/^{\circ}C$ to $3kW/m^2/^{\circ}C$. Most of the experimental results differ from the predicted ones by less than ${\pm}30%$.

In this paper, the performance characteristics of R404 indirect refrigeration system using R744 as a secondary refrigerant were investigated experimentally to obtain a optimum design data for this system. First, for the constant experimental conditions, the COP of R404A indirect refrigeration system using R744 as secondary refrigerants decreases with respect to the increases in R404A condensation temperature and temperature difference in R744 cooler. And, the COP of indirect refrigeration system using R744 as secondary refrigerants decreases slightly with decreasing the mass flowrate of R744.

다중관식 헬리컬 코일형 가스냉각기내 $CO_2$의 열유량과 압력강하에 대해서 실험적으로 조사하였다. $CO_2$와 냉각수의 유량은 각각 0.06~0.075kg/s이고, 가스냉각기의 냉각압력은 8~10 MPa이다. $CO_2$의 열유량은 냉각수 질량유량, $CO_2$의 질량유량과 냉각압력에 비례하여 증가한다. $CO_2$의 압력강하는 냉각수와 $CO_2$의 질량유량이 감소할수록 감소하지만, $CO_2$의 냉각압력이 증가할수록 감소한다. 다중관식 헬리컬 코일형 가스냉각기내 $CO_2$의 열유량과 압력강하는 각각 이중관식 가스냉각기보다 상당히 높게 또는 낮게 나타났다. 따라서 다중관식 헬리컬 코일형 가스냉각기에 $CO_2$를 적용하는 경우에는 가스냉각기의 고효율화, 고성능화, 컴팩트화가 가능할 것이다.
