Recently. we interested in renewable energy due to cost increase of the crude oil, etc. In this study solar assisted hybrid heat pump system that uses the solar heat and air as heat source analyzed by experimentally.'rho system could runs at dual mode. One is thermal storage mode of solar energy at day time and the other is heat pump mode with low temperature air as heat source at night time. In case of setting temperature over the limited range. high temperature water heated at the solar energy collecting tubes supplied to the storage tank. As results. it is founded that the heat pump performance Is higher than general heat pump which using the only air as a heat source. The developed system could be used as main healing equipment for the panel heating for the residential house.

In order to develop a multi-type heat pump system with two indoor units of non-uniform capacities, the optimum refrigerant circuit was developed using capillary tubes. The refrigerant circuit was composed of four main parts, a heating circuit, a cooling circuit, a by-pass circuit and a balance circuit. The system characteristics of multi-type heat pump was investigated through the rating test and the reliability test, using the multi-type psy-chrometric calorimeter. The results of the rating test showed that the capacity of the multi-type heat pump was about 93% of the design value. In particular, the capacity of cooling single mode was about 13% higher than the design value, and the capacity of heating multi mode was about 5% higher than the design value. The reliability of the multi-type heat pump was verified by various reliability tests (overload, extension tube, freeze up, under/over charging, sweat, flood back). The optimal amount of refrigerant charge and compressor capacity were determined from the present work.

The onset of cavitation causes head and efficiency of a main pump to be reduced significantly and generates vibration and noise. In order to avoid these phenomena, the inlet of the pump is fitted with a special rotor called an inducer, which can operate satisfactorily with extensive cavitation. The motivation of this study is to find out cavitation modes from the inducer inlet pressure signals and event characteristics from outlet ones at various operating conditions. The cavitation modes are analyzed by using a cross-spectral density of fluctuating pressures at the inducer inlet. The time-frequency characteristics of wall pressures downstream of the inducer are presented in terms of event frequency, its duration time, and number of events by using the Choi-Williams distribution.

Nowadays, precise prediction of the pump performance becomes more important than ever before in high-value industries such as power plants and large ships. The power consumed in such pumps of large head and capacity definitely affects the efficiency of the entire system. In this study, we report the theoretical and CFD results used in prediction of the performance change caused by the reduction of impeller diameter. We have found that the theoretical calculation is somehow useful at least in estimating the very beginning condition for the CFD main calculation.

This work presents the numerical investigation of an unsteady cavitating flow around a balancing drum of a multistage pump. The main attention is focused on the cavitation phenomena, which occur in the rear part of the drum clearance, cause the erosion of the drum material and influence the pressure losses and the flow rate through the clearance. The one-way coupling of the URANS equations and the full Rayleigh-Plesset equation is employed to analyse the flow field as well as the dynamics of cavitating bubbles. The numerical simulations show that the erosion processes are highly influenced by shaft vibrations, namely by periodic deformations of the annular clearance in time. The calculated results are verified by erosion tests on a real pump.

The pumping speed and the maximum compression ratio as well as the critical backing pressure as main parameters representing normal and limiting performance of a turbomolecular pump and a compound molecular pump were measured basing on a draft KS of the acceptance test procedure. Characteristics of the molecular pumps of two different kinds were compared and some points for improving regulations of the test procedure were proposed.

The pressure ripple in the delivery port is caused by flow ripple, which is induced by variation of pumping chamber volume. The other reason is the reverse flow from the outlet volume produced by pressure difference between pumping chamber and outlet volume, when the pumping chamber is connected with the outlet volume. In this study, a mathematical model is presented for analyzing discharge pressure ripple, which includes vane detachment, cam ring movement , and fluid inertia effects in V-groove in the side plate. From the analysis and experiment, it was found that V-groove on the side plate, coefficient of spring supporting the cam ring, and average discharge pressure are the main factors of discharge pressure ripple in variable displacement vane pump. The theoretical results, provided in this study, were well agreed with experimental results. The analytical model to estimate the magnitude of pressure ripple in this study is expected to be used f3r the optimal design of the variable displacement vane pump.

Pumps arre used extensively for transporting fluid in many ships. However, the present state of pumps used in the large merchant ships has not been studied. In this paper, we have reported the general description of the operating pumps according to the different ship types(Bulk, Container, Car-Carrier, Tanker, LNG). Moreover, the pump total powers are compared with the main engine Normal Continuous Rating power and the pump total weights are also compared with the ship deadweight.

A hydraulic gear pump is widely used in many industrial applications to provide both high pressure and high flow rate by physical displacement of finite volume of fluid with each revolution. In this study, two dimensional fluid-structure interaction simulation of gear pump flow was carried out to examine detailed complex flow patterns and structural stress distribution on rotors by using a commercial software ADINA. The effect of rotor clearance size on the flow characteristics, specially the temporal variation of velocity and pressure field, which is a main source of flow noise, also was investigated.

In this study, modeling and numerical simulations has been performed to investigate performance characteristics of constant power regulator system for swash plate type axial piston pump. The commercial numerical simulation software, AMESim was applied for analyzing the dynamic behavior of constant power regulator system of swash plate axial piston pump. The validity of simulation model of constant power regulator system is verified by comparing simulation results with experiments. Also, the behavior of main components of constant power regulator system such as spool, sleeve and counterbalance piston is investigated using the results of computer simulation.
