The heat capacity and pressure drop of $CO_2$ and coolant in a multi-tube type gas cooler were investigated experimentally. The main components of the refrigerant loop are a receiver, a $CO_2$ compressor, a mass flow meter, an evaporator and a multi-tube type gas cooler as a test section. The mass flowrate of $CO_2$ and coolant were varied from 0.06 to 0.075 [kg/s], respectively and the cooling pressure of gas cooler were from 8 to 10 [MPa]. The heat capacity of $CO_2$ in the test section is increased with the increment in mass flowrate of coolant, the cooling pressure and mass flowrate of $CO_2$. The pressure drop of $CO_2$ is decreased with the decrease in mass flowrate of coolant and $CO_2$, but decreased with increase in cooling pressure of $CO_2$. The heat capacity of $CO_2$ per unit heat transfer area of gas cooler is greatly high. Therefore, in case of the application of $CO_2$ at the multi-tube type gas cooler, it is expected to carry out the high-efficiency, high-performance and compactness of gas cooler.

본 논문은 R290, R600a, R1270과 같은 탄화수소계 냉매를 사용하는 냉동사이클의 효율에 대한 흡입관 열교환기의 영향을 고려하였다. 이러한 흡입관 열교환기는 냉동시스템의 성능을 향상시킬 수도 있지만, 성능을 저하시킬 수도 있다. 본 논문에서는 흡입관 열교환기를 가진 냉동사이클의 성능 특성을 파악하기 위해서 정상상태의 수학적 모델을 사용하였다. 그리고 탄화수소계 냉매유량, 흡입관 열교환기의 내관 직경, 길이, 유용도 등과 같은 운전조건의 영향을 분석하였다. 연구결과는 흡입관 열교환기의 내관 직경, 길이, 유용도, 탄화수소계 냉매의 질량유량은 냉동사이클의 상대냉동능력지수, 냉동능력, 압축일량에 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 이러한 영향을 상세히 파악하여, 흡입관 열교환기를 설치한 탄화수소계 냉매용 증기압축식 냉동사이클을 설계할 필요가 있다.

This paper deals with the correlation of absorption rate in absorber and evaporation rate in evaporator. The evaporator consists of a copper tube of 10mm dia, and 600mm long and chilled water flowing through the tube is fed by the chilled water circulator. The flowrate of LiBr-water solution in the absorber plays a significant role in determining the magnitude of the heat transfer rate from chilled water to refrigerant There exists a flowrate of solution which has a maximum value of heat transfer. It is interesting to note that the absorption rate of absorber increases with increasing the heat transfer rate of the evaporator. Also, absorption rate increases with evaportation rate, and the ratio(the former/the other) depends on the inlet temperature of LiBr-water solution in the absorber. The heating capacity in the absorber is higher than the refrigerating capacity in the evaporator.

열펌프건조기는 증발기에 의한 냉각및 감습기능과 응축기에 의한 가열기능을 대류형건조기와 연계시킴으로써 필연적 손실로 분류되던 배기가 갖고 있는 현열과 잠열을 회수하여 재활용할 수 있는 이점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 HFC134a를 냉매로 사용한 배치형(batch type) 열펌프건조기를 설계제작하여 건조실의 유지온도, 공기의 바이패스비(bypass ratio), 냉매의 과열도를 일정하게 유지하고 정면풍속(face velocity)과 압축기속도를 변화시켜 건조기의 성능을 분석하였으며 정면풍속의 증가에 따라 열펌프의 성적계수는 증가하나 SMER(Specific Moisture Extraction Rate)은 감소하였다.

The organic Rankine cycle has been widely used to convert the renewable energy such as the solar energy, the geothermal energy, or the waste energy etc., to the electric power. Some previous studies focused to find what kind of refrigerant would be a best working fluid for the organic Rankine cycle. In this study, R245fa was chosen to the working fluid, and the cycle analysis was conducted for the output power of 30kW or less. In addition, properties (temperature, pressure, entropy, and enthalpy etc.) of the working fluid on the cycle were predicted when the turbine output power was controlled by adjusting the mass flowrate. The configuration of the turbine was a radial-type and the supersonic nozzles were applied as the stator. So, the turbine was operated in partial admission. The turbine efficiency and the optimum velocity ratio were considered in the cycle analysis for the low partial admission rate. The computed results show that the system efficiency is affected by the partial admission rate more than the temperature of the evaporator.

The cooling heat transfer coefficient of $CO_2$ in a brazing type small diameter tube was investigated experimentally. The main components of the refrigerant loop are a receiver, a $CO_2$ compressor, a mass flow meter, an evaporator and a brazing type small diameter tube as a test section. The mass flux of $CO_2$ is $400{\sim}1600$ [kg/$m^2s$], the mass flowrate of coolant were varied from 0.15 to 0.3 [kg/s], and the cooling pressure of gas cooler were from 8 to 10 [MPa]. The cooling heat transfer coefficients of the brazing type small diameter copper tube is about $4{\sim}11.7%$ higher than that of the conventional type small diameter copper tube. In comparison with test results and existing correlations, correlations failed to predict the cooling heat transfer coefficient of $CO_2$ in a brazing type small diameter copper tube. therefore, it is necessary to develope reliable and accurate predictions determining the cooling heat transfer coefficient of $CO_2$ in a brazing type small diameter copper tube.

The system design of the Organic Rankine Cycle(ORC) is greatly influenced by the thermal properties such as the temperature or the thermal capacity of heat source. Typically waste heat, solar energy, geothermal energy, and so on are used as the heat source for the ORC. However, thermal energy supplying from these kinds of heat sources cannot be provided constantly. Hence, an experimental study was conducted to utilize fluctuating thermal energy efficiently. For this experiment, an impulse turbine and supersonic nozzles were applied and the supersonic nozzle was used to increase the velocity at the nozzle exit. In addition, these nozzles were used to adjust the mass flowrate depending on the amount of the supplied thermal energy. The experiment was conducted with maximum three nozzles due to the capacity of thermal energy. The experimented results were compared with the predicted results. The experiment showed that the useful output power could be producted from low-grade thermal energy as well as fluctuating thermal energy.

Organic Rankine Cycle is widely used to convert the low-grade thermal energy to the electrical energy. However, usually available thermal energy is not supplied constantly. This makes hard to use positive displacement expanders. Hence, turbo-expander has merits to apply as an expander in ORC because it can operate well off-design points even though the mass flowrate is fluctuated. The thermal energy fluctuation causes the turbo-expander to operate in partial admission. In addition, supersonic nozzles are required so that the partially admitted turbine operates efficiently. In this study, R245fa was chosen as a working fluid of ORC. A design method and an analysis technique of supersonic nozzle based on R245fa were developed. The shape of the nozzle was designed by the characteristic method. The thermal properties within the nozzle were estimated and the predicted results were agreed well with the computed results.
