본 논문에서는 규제 프레온냉매 R22의 대체 자연냉매의 후보인 R290(프로판), R600(부탄), R717(암모니아), R1270(프로필렌)을 작동유체로 사용하는 2단압축 1단팽창 냉동시스템의 성능 특성을 비교하였다. $-20^{\circ}C{\sim}-50^{\circ}C$ 정도의 저온을 얻기 위해 사용되는 2단압축 1단팽창 냉동장치에서의 증발온도, 응축온도, 과열도 및 과냉각도의 변화에 따른 성능계수(COP) 변화를 규명하고자 하였다. 성능특성 규명 결과, 과냉각도 및 중간냉각기에서의 냉매유량 증가에 따라 시스템의 COP는 증가하였으나, 증발온도, 응축온도 및 과열도가 증가할수록 COP는 저하되는 결과를 나타내었다. 또한, 자연냉매를 사용하는 2단압축 1단팽창 냉동시스템의 COP는 규제 프레온냉매 R22를 사용하는 경우보다 높기 때문에 자연냉매를 사용하고자 하는 냉동시스템의 안전성이 확보되면 충분히 대체 냉매로서의 경쟁력이 있을 것으로 판단되었다.

본 연구는 마이크로핀관에서 이소부탄과 프로판의 증발 열전달 특성에 대해 실험적으로 조사하였다. 시험부는 외경 12.70 mm이고, 높이가 0.25 mm인 75개 핀이 원주방향으로 삽입되어 있다. 실험결과, 탄화수소계 냉매의 평균 열전달계수는 프레온계 냉매인 HCFC22보다 높을 것으로 나타났고, 높은 질랑유속에서는 이소부탄 > 프로판 순으로 나타났다. 마이크로핀관에서 증발 열전달 계수는 평활관에 비해 약 $80{\sim}100%$ 정도가 향상되었다. 이러한 본 연구 결과로부터 탄화수소계 냉매를 냉동 공조 시스템의 냉매로 사용하여 열교환장치를 설계할 경우에는 유리하리라 생각된다.

In this study, external condensation heat transfer coefficients (HTCs) of six flammable refrigerants of propylene (RI270), propane (R290), isobutane (R600a), butane (R600), dimethylether (RE170), and HFC32 were measured at the vapor temperature of $39^{\circ}C$ on a 1023 fpm low fin and Turbo-C tubes. All data were taken under the heat flux of $32\~116\;and\;42\~142kW/m^2$ for the low fin and Turbo-C tubes respectively. Flammable refrigerants' data obtained on enhanced tubes showed a typical trend that external condensation HTCs decrease with increasing wall subcooling. HFC32 and DME showed up to $30\%$ higher HTCs than those of HCFC22 due to their excellent thermophysical properties. Propylene, propane, isobutane, and butane showed similar or lower HTCs than those of HCFC22. Beatty and Katz' correlation predicted the HTCs of the flammable refrigerants obtained on a low fin tube within a mean deviation of $7.3\%$. Turbo-C tube showed the best performance due to its 3 dimensional surface geometry for fast removal of condensate.

This paper deals with the heat transfer characteristics of R-1270 (Propylene), R-600a (Iso-butane) and R-290 (Propane) as an environment friendly refrigerant and R-22 for condensing. The experimental apparatus has been set-up as a conventional vapor compression type heat pump system. The test section is a horizontal double pipe heat exchanger. A tube diameter of 12.70 mm with 1.32 mm wall thickness is used for this investigation. The test results showed that the local condensing heat transfer coefficients of hydrocarbon refrigerants were higher than that of R-22. The average condensing heat transfer coefficient was obtained with the maximum value in R-1270 and the minimum one in R-22. Comparing the heat transfer coefficient of experimental results with that of other correlations, the presented results had a good agreement with the Cavallini-Zecchin's correlation. It reveals that the natural refrigerants can be used as substitute for R-22.

In this study, flow structure in a three-stage centrifugal compressor for LNG Plant with the refrigerant, Propane, was numerically investigated at the design point of the compressor using a commercial code. Flow characteristics in the passages of impeller and vaneless diffuser were analyzed in detail including velocity vector, Mach number and pressure contours in blade spanwise and meridional plane for each stage. The estimation on the one-dimensional output from the preliminary design and three-dimensional shape of the impeller blade was performed through the flow analysis. The verification for designed compressor was carried out from three-dimensional Navier-Stokes analysis. The results will be used as reference data for a new design of 3-D impeller shape to improve propane refrigerant compressor performance.

Flow condensation heat transfer coefficients(HTCs) of R22, R4IO, Propane(R290) were measured inside a horizontal 9 hole aluminum multi-channel flat tube. The main test section in the refrigerant loop was made of a 0.53 m long multi-channel flat tube of hydraulic diameter of 1.4 mm. Refrigerant was cooled by passing cold water through an annulus surrounding the test section. Data were obtained in qualities of 0.1 ${\sim}$ 0.9 at mass flux of $200{\sim}400$ $kg/m^2s$ and heat flux of $7.3{\sim}7.7$ $kW/m^2$ at the saturation temperature of $4^{\circ}C$. All popular heat transfer correlations in single-phase subcooled liquid flow and flow condensation originally developed for large single tubes predicted the present data of the multi channel flat tube within 25% deviation when effective heat transfer area was used in determining experimental data. This suggests that there is little change in flow characteristics and patterns when the tube diameter is reduced down to 1.4 mm diameter range. Hence, a modified correlation based on the present data was proposed which could be applied to small diameter tubes with effective heat transfer area. The correlation showed a mean deviation of less than 20% for all data.

This paper deals with the heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of R-290 (Propane), R-600a (Iso-butane) and R-1270 (Propylene) as an environment friendly refrigerant and R-22 as a HCFC's refrigerant for condensing. The test section is a horizontal double pipe heat exchanger. Condensing heat transfer and pressure drop measurements were Peformed for 12.70 mm micro-fin tube and compared with the results in smooth tube. The local condensing heat transfer coefficients of hydrocarbon refrigerants were superior to those of R-22 and the maximum increasing rate of heat transfer coefficient was found in R-600a. The average condensing heat transfer coefficients in hydrocarbon refrigerants showed 20 to 28% higher values than those of R-22. Hydrocarbon refrigerants have a higher pressure drop than that of R-22 with respect to refrigerant qualify and mass flux. Also, the condensing heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop of working fluids in smooth and micro-fin tube were compared. The heat transfer enhancement factor (EF) between smooth and micro-fin tube varied from 2.2 to 2.6 in all experimental conditions.

본 연구에서는 Rankine 사이클을 이용한 해양 온도차 발전 시스템을 컴퓨터로 모사했고 작동유체를 변화시켜 가면서 그 성능을 비교하였다. 증발기와 응축기는 UA(총괄열전달계수$\times$전열면적)와 LMTD(대수평균온도차) 방법으로 모사하였으며 터빈과 펌프는 등엔트로피 효율로 모사하였다. 작동유체로는 R22, R290, R1270, R134a, R125, R143a, R32, R410A 그리고 암모니아 등을 사용하였다. 모사 결과 OTEC 발전 시스템의 효율은 작동유체에 상관없이 거의 일정한 것으로 드러났다. 한편 증발기 출구에서의 과열도와 응축기 출구에서의 과냉도는 시스템의 성능에 거의 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났지만 터빈의 효율과 열교환기의 크기는 시스템 성능에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 따뜻한 표층수와 차가운 심해수 사이의 온도차가 $20^{\circ}C$이상일 때 실제로 전기를 생산할 수 있다는 사실을 확인했다.

In this study, 2 pure hydrocarbon refrigerants of R1270 (Propylene) and R290 (Propane) and 3 binary mixtures composed of R1270, R29O and R152a were tested in a refrigerating bench tester with a scroll compressor in an attempt to substitute R502 used in most of the low temperature applications. The test bench provided 3\sim3.5$ kW capacity and water and water/glycol mixture were employed as the secondary heat transfer fluids. All tests were conducted under the same external conditions resulting in the average saturation temperatures of -28 and $45^{\circ}C$ in the evaporator and condenser, respectively. Test results showed that all refrigerants tested had $9.6\sim18.7\%$ higher capacity and $17.1\sim27.3\%$ higher COP than R502. The compressor discharge temperature of R1270 was similar to that of R502 while those of all other refrigerants were $23.7\sim27.9\%$ lower than that of R502. For all alternative refrigerants, the amount of charge was reduced up to $60\%$ as compared to R502. Overall, these alternative refrigerants offer better system performance and reliability than R502 and can be used as long term substitutes for R502 due to their excellent environmental properties.
