Systemic heating and cooling air conditioning systems are popular in various industrial fields and even home. Recently, the rate of supply of this kind of multi-heat pump has been increased under ESCO financing supporting system. Generally the heat pumping system has a structural simplicity and easy installation benefits. and has good running efficiency under normal designed condition. But under extreme climate condition (over $+30^{\circ}C$, under $-10^{\circ}C$), this system exposes abnormal power consumption. It causes high progressive electric power rates and resultant peak power capacity of power plant. In this paper, a novel system concept of buffering refrigerant accumulator and constant pressure control system to relieve peak power load is proposed and this system's utility is verified with an prototype experimental system.

Controlling superheat of indoor units associated with a multi-type heat pump is one of difficult tasks to be addressed. This study suggests a dynamic model of an evaporator based on heat and mass balance. Thermodynamic properties are calculated by a commercial software, Refprop. The model is programmed in MFC Visual C++ for controller interface in real-time mode. The simulation results shows that PI control works for a narrow range of superheat. Beyond the range, the temperature behavior of the refrigerant is quite nonlinear mainly due to phase change. Thus, it is concluded that PI control of superheat has to be supplemented by nonlinear control ideas to avoid saturation and excessive superheat.

본 연구에서는 파급효과가 큰 공동주택에서 지열 냉난방 시스템의 경제성을 아파트 분양평형, 운전시간, 냉난방 및 급탕 설치형태별로 구분하여 초기 공사비 증가, 운전비 절감액, 초기 투자비 회수기간등을 산정하였다. 냉난방 및 급탕 운전시간이 많을수록 초기 공사비 증가액에 비해 운전비용 절감액이 커 초기 투자비 회수기간이 단축되었다. 전용면적이 클수록 투자회수 기간이 길었으며 냉난방 및 급탕 설치형태에서는 냉난방을 지열원, 급탕을 폐열회수한 경우가 초기 투자 회수기간이 가장 짧았다. 기존 시스템(패키지 에어콘, LNG 난방 및 급탕)에 비해 냉난방, 급탕을 모두 지열로 이용하는 경우, 냉난방은 지열, 급탕은 폐열을 이용하는 경우, 냉난방은 지열, 급탕은 LNG인 경우에 공사비가 $m^2$당 각각 약 72,000원, 66,900원, 62,300원 정도 증가하였다.

에너지 절약적 차원에서 한 대의 실외기에 다수의 실내기가 접속되는 개별공조형 멀티 열펌프에 관한 연구 및 개발과 보급이 증대되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 복수의 실내기를 갖고 가변속 압축기를 채용한 지열원 물대공기 멀티열펌프시스템을 학교 현장에 설치하여 제조사의 운전 제어 알고리즘에 따라 일일 냉난방 실증 성능 특성을 분석하였다. 2008년 9월 30일의 냉방부하가 낮은 일자에 대하여 시간에 따른 부하 변동에 따라 압축기의 용량가변으로 실내기 냉방용량은 정격용량 대비 17.1%에서 111.3%의 범위에서 변이되었으나, 열펌프 유닛의 일일 최대 COP는 6.2를 나타냈으며, 일일 평균 열펌프 유닛 COP는 4.5로 열펌프 유닛 인증 기준 이상의 성능을 나타냈다. 2008년 11월 10일 대비 2008년 12월 15일에는 시스템 가동 중의 평균 외기온도가 $9.6^{\circ}C$ 감소하였으나, 각 재실공간의 용도별 부분 부하특성으로 11월 10일 보다 난방 부하량이 작게 나타났다. 하지만, 12월 15일에는 부하량이 매우 작아서 11월 10일보다 잦은 압축기 가변에 따른 손실로 일일 평균 COP가 낮게 나타났다. 2009년 1월 12일에는 정격 용량대비 94%의 부하율로 11월 10일과 12월 15일 대비 4배 이상의 부하량으로 압축기 용량 가변율이 작아서 난방용량과 COP 변화율이 작게 나타났다. 2009년 1월 12일에는 지중순환수의 실외열교환기 유입온도가 2008년 12월 15일보다 감소하고, 시스템의 난방용량 증가로 상대적으로 응축기와 증발기 크기가 감소한 효과로 히트펌프 유닛 COP가 감소하였으나, 본 지열원 열펌프 제조사에서 생산하고 있는 본 지열원 시스템과 동일한 압축기 등을 채용한 동일 용량의 공기열원 열펌프의 1월 12일 외기온도 $-10^{\circ}C$에서의 열펌프 유닛 COP 대비 70% 우수한 성능을 나타냈다. 본 지열원 히트펌프의 2008년 11월 10일의 일일 평균 히트펌프 유닛 COP는 외기온도가 낮고 일일 부하량이 크게 나타난 1월 12일의 일일 평균 히트펌프 유닛 COP 대비 37% 높게 나타났으나, 지중순환펌프의 정속운전으로 시스템 요구 지중순환수 유량 증가에 따른 성능 향상보다 소비전력 증가 영향이 커서 1월 12일의 시스템 COP 보다 33.3% 작은 값을 나타냈다. 본 연구의 용량 가변형 압축기를 채용한 지열원 멀티 히트펌프 유닛을 지열원 냉난방 시스템의 히트펌프 유닛으로 사용할 경우 시스템 최적화를 통한 시스템 COP 향상과 연간에너지 절감을 이루기 위해서는 히트펌프의 용량 변화 시에 지중순환펌프의 순환 유량 최적화를 위한 효율적 운전 제어 알고리즘 개발이 요구된다.
