  • 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.

  • This paper presents the Coefficient of performance(COP) and mass flow ratio of cascade refrigeration system with respect to refrigerants appling to high temperature cycle. The operating parameters considered in this study include degree of superheating and subcooling, compressor efficiency, evaporating temperature, condensing temperature and internal heat exchanger effectiveness in high temperature cycle. The result of this study is as follows : The COP of cascade system increases with increasing degree of superheating and subcooling, compressor efficiency and internal heat exchanger effectiveness except increasing condensing temperature. The mass flow ratio of low and high temperature cycle increases with increasing evaporating temperature and condensing temperature, but decreases with increasing internal heat exchanger effectiveness, degree of superheating and subcooling. Also, the mass flow ratio has no correlation with compressor efficiency at high temperature cycle.

  • The boiling characteristics for R134a are studied to clarify the hysteresis at low temperature on enhanced tubes of a flooded evaporator. Initial boiling conditions, refrigerant temperature, and inlet temperature of the chilled water are considered as the key parameters of the experiments. Unlike previous studies of the boiling heat transfer with uniform heat flux and uniform wall temperature, the wall temperature was varied along the tube. In, this study, it was found that the hysteresis of the temperature overshoot (705) at the onset of nucleate boiling initially at the inlet section of the tube. It is also concluded that the abnormal operation can be avoided during the low temperature boiling if the refrigeration system is started with LMTD larger than $3.4^{\circ}C$ at initial stage and larger than $1.0^{\circ}C$ at normal stage.

  • Interest in heat pumps is increasing as an eco-friendly and energy-saving heating method. In particular, in order to develop a heat pump capable of heating in a low-temperature area, research to prevent frost on the surface of the outdoor unit is increasing. In other words, when heating through a heat pump in a low-temperature area, a frost layer is formed on the surface of the outdoor unit, which lowers the heat transfer performance, thereby reducing the heating capacity. Therefore, in this study, an adsorption-type dehumidification system is attached to remove the moisture vapor of the air into the outdoor unit of the heat pump. It is believed that this study can suggest the most effective dehumidification method in low temperature regions. In addition, it is expected that a heat pump with high energy efficiency can be developed by attaching an adsorption dehumidifying system to the front of the outdoor unit of the heat pump.

  • As a way to use energy effectively, the present study is aimed at investigating the performance characteristics of a Single Effect LiBr/Water Absorption Refrigerator using a low temperature driving heat-source. It was carried out by changing the driving heat-source temperature, the cold water outlet temperature(the refrigeration load), the cooling water inlet temperature, and the weak solution flow rate and this study compares the performance characteristics of refrigerator against the existence and non-existence of the Recirculation of the Weak solution which is used as a method to improve the performance of refrigerator. In case of Recirculation of the weak solution, more improved the Refrigeration Capacity and COP was obtained, and these effects became more larger in the high temperature of driving heat-source and large quantity of solution.

The operating parameters considered in this study include subcooling and superheating degree and gas cooling pressure and evaporating temperature in the propane (R290) low temperature cycle and the carbon dioxide (R744) high temperature cycle. The main results were summarized as follows : The COP of cascade refrigeration system of $CO_2-C_3H_8$ (R744-R290) increases with the increasing subcooling degree, but decreases with the increasing superheating degree. The COP of cascade refrigeration system increases with the increasing evaporating temperature, but decreases with the increasing gas cooling pressure.

  • The evaporating temperature range required for the low temperature freezing system is from $-50^{\circ}C$ to $-30^{\circ}C$. Since it is difficult to keep the required capacity in a cabinet, it is advantageous to design the system using a cascade refrigeration system. Use of carbon dioxide and ammonia would be advantageous since ammonia is an environment-friendly working fluid and has a high capacity for performance improvement. To investigate the performance characteristics of the R744-R717 cascade refrigeration system, a theoretical model was developed and performance was analyzed according to cascade heat exchanger operating temperature. The optimal cascade R744 condensing temperature was $-5^{\circ}C$, and maximum COP was 1.13 when the temperature difference of the cascade heat exchanger was $5^{\circ}C$. In addition, the total system COP increased by 1.17 when the cascade temperature gap was $3^{\circ}C$ at the middle temperature of $-7.5^{\circ}C$.

  • This paper describes the real operation of 2 kW class reverse-Brayton refrigeration system with neon as a working fluid. The refrigeration cycle is designed with operating pressure of 0.5 and 1.0 MPa at low and high pressure side, respectively. Compressor package consists of several helium scroll compressors witch are originally used for driving GM cryocooler. Three segments of plate heat exchanger are adopted to cover the wide temperature range and the refrigeration power is produced by turbo expander. The developed refrigeration system is successfully operated at its target temperature of 77 K. In experiments, all parameters such as pressure, temperature, mass flow rate and valve opening are measured to investigate characteristics during cool-down process and normal state. The difference between design and real operation is discussed with measured experimental data. At normal state of 77 K operation, the developed reverse-Brayton refrigeration system shows 1.83 kW at 68.2 K of cold-end temperature.

  • In this paper, cycle performance analysis of cascade refrigeration system using $NH_3-CO_2$(R717-R744) is presented to offer the basic design data for the operating parameters of the system. The operating parameters considered in this study include subcooling and superheating degree and condensing and evaporating temperature in the ammonia(R717) high temperature cycle and the carbon dioxide low temperature cycle. The COP of cascade refrigeration system increases with the increasing superheating degree, but decreases with the increasing subcooling degree. The COP of cascade refrigeration system increases with the increasing condensing temperature, but decreases with the increasing evaporating temperature. Therefore, superheating and subcoolng degree, evaporating and condensing temperature of cascade refrigeration system using $NH_3-CO_2$ have an effect on the COP of this system. A multilinear regression analysis was employed in terms of subcooling, superheating, evaporating, condensing, and cascade heat exchanger temperature difference in order to develop mathematical expressions for maximum COP and an optimum evaporating temperature.
