자동차 에어컨 냉매로 사용되어온 CFC-12는 1991년부터 1994년에 걸쳐 HFC 계열의 냉매인 R134a로 대체되었으며, R-134a는 현재자동차 에어컨 냉매로 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나 R-134a는 지구온난화 지수(GWP)가 1,300으로 매우 높으며, 교토의정서에서 정한 6대 온실가스 중에 하나로 포함되어 누출량 관리 및 대체 냉매 개발이 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 자동차에서 배출되는 $non-CO_2$ 온실가스 배출량 산출을 위한 기초연구로 실차 상태에서의 에어컨 냉매 누출량을 분석하기 위하여 가변온도밀폐실(VT shed)과 Running loss test shed를 이용하여 R-134a의 농도변화를 측정하였다. 대상차종에 대한 주차상태에서 R-134a 누출량을 분석한 결과, 연간 누출량이 6.46~13.28 g/yr 수준으로 기존의 에어컨 시스템을 이용한 누출량 분석결과와 유사한 수준으로 분석되었다. 동일 모델 차량에 단일증발기를 적용한 차량과 이중증발기를 적용한 차량에 대해 냉매 누출량을 비교한 결과, 단일증발기로 구성된 에어컨이 적용된 차량에 비하여 이중증발기가 적용된 에어컨이 장착된 차량에서 누출량이 높게 나타났다. 이는 이중증발기 적용에 따라 에어컨 시스템 구성시 연결부위(호스, 접합부 등)가 추가되면서 해당 부위에서의 누출이 증가된 것으로 보인다. 또한, 차속별 R-134a 농도변화를 분석한 결과, 고속주행시(100 km/hr) 냉매 누출이 증가하였으며, 송풍량 증가에 따른 누출량 변화는 나타나지 않았다.

A new super compact condenser(SCC), which has been developed recently is especially suitable for an alternative refrigerant HFC-134a due to its high performance and compactness. The SCC is composed of two pipe headers, baffles, narrow multi-rectangular channels, and louvered fin arrays. Alternating inlet and outlet by the inserted baffles in pipe headers guide refrigerant to and from the narrow multi-rectangular channels. Since the flow rate and its lengh are changed depending on the number and location of baffles, the corresponding pressure drop and heat transfer rate are changed. The present study aims to theoretically and experimentally investigate the effects of baffle location and its number on the pressure drop and thermal performance of the SCC with 40 multi-rectangular channels. The results show that the present method provides an acceptable prediction of pressure drop and heat transfer rate for a 4 pass SCC. However, the model significantly under predicts the performance of a 3 pass SCC, which may be attributed to the phase separation of refrigerant flowing through header pipes. Pressure drop is more signifi- cantly influenced than heat transfer rate by the baffle location.

In this study, the overall performance and the effect of the tip leakage flow of the centrifugal compressor with the refrigerant HFC-l34a were numerically studied using CFX-TASCflow. To study the effect of a tip leakage flow, the numerical study of the overall performance of HFC-l34a centrifugal compressor with a cascade diffuser was preceded and compared with experimental result. Six different tip clearances were used to consider the influence of a tip clearance on performance. The tip leakage flow was illustrated for qualitative discussion. The results obtained in this study can be applied to the determination of the cold clearance.

CFC-12, which has been used most widely in automobile air conditioners and household refrigerators is scheduled to be phased out soon because of its high ozone depletion potential. Now HFC-134a is suggested as an alternative refrigerant for CFC-12. In this Study, we intended to investigate how PAG oil influence evaporation heat transfer and flow pattern, using R-134a and PAG oil influences evaporation heat transfer and flow pattern, using R-134a and PAG oil in the horizontal miro-fin evaporation tube. Experiments were conducted under the flowing est conditions : mass velocity 86-250kg/$m^2$s, heat flux 5-30 ㎾/$m^2$, oil concentration 0-21 wt.% and saturation temperature 5$^{\circ}C$. Local evaporation heat transfer coefficients were found to be higher at the top, side and bottom of the tube in this order. Average heat transfer coefficients turned out to increase with oil concentration increment up to 3 wt.% oil concentration, whereas heat transfer coefficients gradually decreased over 3 wt.% oil concentration, because of oil-rich liquid film was formed on the heat transfer surface. Flow patterns were rapidly transitioned to annular regimes up to 3 wt.% oil concentration. In case of pure refrigerant, measured heat transfer coefficients in the experiments were similar to those of Kandlikar＇s correlation.

Experimental investigation and cycle simulation of a capacity modulation of a heat pump system using a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerant mixture, R32/134a as an alternative to R22, have been done. In the cycle simulation, the refrigeration system was operated by assigning the temperatures of the external heat transfer fluids with the heat exchangers generalized by an average effective temperature difference. Heating capacity, cooling capacity, and coefficient of performance (COP) of the system were investigated at several operating conditions. Experimental apparatus which had a refrigeration part and a composition changing part was built, and the performance of the heat pump system filled with R32/134a mixture was investigated. A gas-liquid separator was used in the experiment to change the composition by collecting the vapor and the liquid Phase separately, The mass fraction of the charged refrigerant in the heat pump system was 40/60 and 70/30 by weight percentage. The composition of the refrigerant with initial composition of 40/60 varied from 29/71 to 41/59 in the refrigeration cycle. For the refrigerant with initial composition of 70/30, the composition varied from 65/35 to 75/25.

A domestic refrigerator is composed of many components such as a compressor, evaporator, capillary tube, and the cabinet which plays a great role on the cycle performance, even if it is not the basic component part in the cycle. Recently, the restriction policy on the energy-saving and environmentally friendly refrigerator is reinforced in our nation as well as developed countries. Therefore, in this paper, cycle simulations and experiments were carried out ito understand the characteristics of the cycle performance using CFC 12, HFC 134a, and HC 600a and to know how changes in UA(overall heat transfer coefficients$\times$ heat transfer area) of evaporator, the position displacement of compressor, and the rpm of fan in the freezing room which has influence on the cycle performance. The result shows that the quantitative values of simulation and experiment are not coincident, but their trend is similar. When HFC 134a and HC 600a were used without the change of design in refrigerator used CFC 12, the performance of system in HC 600a is 30% lower, and the case of HFC 134a is 10% lower than that of CFC 12 on freezing temperature.

In this study, external condensation heat transfer coefficients (HTCs) of two non-azeotropic refrigerant mixtures of HFC32/HFC134a and HF0134a/HCF0123 at various compositions were measured on both low fin and Turbo-C enhanced tubes of 19.0 mm outside diameter All data were taken at the vapor temperature of 39$^{\circ}C$ with a wall subcooling of 3- 8 K. Test results showed that HTCs of the tested mixtures on the enhanced tubes were much lower than the ideal values calculated by the mass fraction weighting of the pure compo- nents'HTCs. Also the reduction of HTCs due to the diffusion vapor film was much larger than that of a plain tube. Unlike HTCs of pure fluids, HTCs of the mixtures measured on enhanced tubes increased as the wall subcooling increased, which was due to the sudden break up of the vapor diffusion film with an increase in wall subcooling. Finally, heat transfer enhancement ratios for mixtures were found to be much lower than those of pure fluids.

본 연구는 7대 온실가스 중 하나인 HFC-134a를 효과적으로 분해하기 위한 촉매로써 산업 부산물인 red mud를 상업적으로 사용하기 위한 기계적 안정성 향상에 관한 것이다. 알루미늄 공정에서 배출한 산업용 폐기물인 red mud는 분쇄-분취-압축-성형-소성 공정으로 HFC-134a 분해가 가능한 촉매 제조가 가능하였는데, 소성을 통해 촉매 성능 향상 및 기계적 안정성을 확보할 수 있었다. 최적의 열처리 조건을 확인하기 위하여, 펠렛형태로 압축성형한 red mud는 머플퍼니스를 이용하여 300, 600, 800 ℃에서 5시간 소성하여 촉매성능 및 기계적 안정성을 확인하였는데, 기계적 안정성은 증류수에 촉매를 담근 후 초음파 처리 전후 무게 손실률로 확인하였다. 열처리에 따른 촉매성능 및 기계적 안정성을 확인한 결과 800 ℃에서 소성한 촉매(RM 800)가 기계적 안정성은 물론 촉매활성 또한 가장 우수하였다. RM 800 촉매를 사용한 촉매 성능 및 100시간 동안 수행한 내구성 측정 결과 650 ℃에서 1 mol% HFC-134a를 99% 이상 분해하였고, 내구성 측정 기간동안 촉매성능 저하는 관찰할 수 없었다. XRD 분석 결과 800도 소성 후 Ca, Si, 및 Al의 상호작용으로 인해 기계적 강도와 활성 향상에 영향을 미치는 트라이 칼슘알루미네이트와 게레나이트 결정상이 나타났다. 내구성을 측정한 촉매 SEM/EDS 분석 결과 RM 800 촉매는 HFC-134a 분해로 인한 활성물질 저감 및 형상변화가 나타나지 않았다. 본 연구를 통해 산업폐기물인 red mud는 경제성이 매우 높고 분해효율 및 기계적 안정성 또한 매우 높아 폐냉매 처리를 위한 촉매로써 상용화가 가능할 것으로 기대한다.

Isothermal vapor-liquid equilibrium(VLE) data have been obtained for the systems of propane(R290)+1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane(R134a) and 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane(R134a)+isobutane(R60A) in the temperature range of 253.15 to 323.15K. Experiments were performed in a circulation type apparatus by injecting vapor through liquid pool using a magnetic pump. Both systems form azeotropes in the temperature range of this study. The experimental results were estimated with the Peng-Robinson equation of state. When the temperature-dependent binary interaction parameter was used in the Peng-Robinson equation of state, the absolute average deviation of the measured bubble point pressures from the values correlated by the Peng-Robinson equation was 0.65% and 0.78% for R290+R134a and R134a+600a, respectively. Azeotropic compositions for both systems were presented.

Experimental results for forced convection condensationof Refrigerant-22 and ternary Refrigerant-407c(HFC-32/125/134a 23/25/52 wt%) considered as a substitute R-22 inside horizontal micor-fin tubes are presented. The test section was horizontal double-tubed counterflow condenser with a length 4000 mm micro-fin tube having 9.53 mm OD., 0.2 mm fin height and 60 fins. The refrigerants R-22 and R-407c were cooled by a coolant circulated in a surrounding annulus. The range of parameters of mass velocity was varied from 102.1 to 301.0kg/($\textrm{m}^{2}.s$) with inlet quality 1.0. Both refrigerant R-22 and its alternative refrigerant R-407c were tested within the same range of parameters. At the given experimental conditions for R-22 and R-407c the pressure drops for R-407c were considerably higher than those for R-22 at micro-fin tubes. Over the mass velocity range tested the PF(penalty factor)was lower than the increasing ratio of heat transfer area by fins. Based on the data correlation was proposed for predicting the frictional pressure drops for R-22 and R-407c for a duration of condensation inside a horizontal micro-fin tube.
