$Al_2O_3$ 나노입자의 농도별로 전동식 압축기의 회전속도(rpm)의 변화에 따른 자동차용 증기압축 냉동사이클의 COP를 실험적으로 평가하고 나노입자를 적용하지 않은 기준 사이클의 COP와 비교하였다. 이를 위해 실제 하이브리드 자동차에서 쓰는 사이클 부품들을 이용하고 항온항습 챔버를 이용하지 않는 방식으로 장치를 설계 및 제작하였다. 별도의 전동식 인버터 압축기의 제어장치를 활용하여 1000rpm부터 500rpm 간격으로 4000rpm까지와 $Al_2O_3$ 나노입자를 질량비 기준으로 농도 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.2%와 0.5%의 범위에 대하여 실험을 수행하였다. 이를 통해 기준 사이클과 비교하면 기준 사이클의 일반적인 운전조건인 약 3000rpm에서 $Al_2O_3$ 나노유체를 적용하는 사이클의 COP는 질량 농도비 0.05%에서는 15.4% 정도, 농도비 0.1%, 0.2% 및 0.5%에서는 각각 9.4%, 13% 및 9.6%가 증가함을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, an analysis was performed on the performance of the solar water heating system with geo-thermal heat pump for a detached house. This system has a flat plate solar collector ($8\;m^2$) and a 3 RT heat pump. The heat pump acts as an auxiliary heater of the solar water heating system. These systems were installed at four individual houses with the same area of $100\;m^2$. The monitoring results for one year are as follows. (1) The average daily operating time of the solar system appeared to be 313 minutes in spring (intermediate season), and 135 minutes and 76 minutes in winter and summer respectively. The reason for the short operating time in summer is the high storage temperature due to low water heating load. The high storage temperature is caused by a decrease in collecting efficiency as well as by overheating. (2) The geothermal heat pump as an auxiliary heater mainly operates on days of poor insolation during the winter season. (3) Despite controlling for total house area, hot water consumption varies greatly according to the number of people in the family, hot water usage habits, etc. (4) The yearly solar fraction was 69.8 to 91.5 percent, which exceeds the maximum value of 80% as recommended by ASHRAE. So the solar collector area of $8\;m^2$ appeared to be somewhat greater for the house with an area of $100\;m^2$. (5) The observed annual efficiency of solar systems was relatively low at 13.5 to 23.6%, which was analyzed to be due to the decrease in thermal efficiency and the overheating caused by a high solar fraction.
