A refrigeration dehumidifier with a recuperative heat exchanger is theoretically analyzed. The recuperative heat exchanger is located between the two air streams from and to the dehumidifying coil, and reduces the sensible heat load in dehumidification process. A simple model is developed to predict performance of the dehumidifier. The model predicts that the recuperative heat exchanger is effective especially in the low humidity condition, where the sensible heat load is relatively large. It is predicted that, by adopting a recuperative heat exchanger, a maximum 30~110% increase in COP is possible for indoor air at $27^{\circ}C$, and 40~60% relative humidity.

Miniature Joule-Thomson refrigerators have been widely used for rapid cooling of infrared detectors, probes of cryosurgery, thermal cameras, missile homing head and guidance system, due to their special features of simple configuration, compact structure and rapid cool-down characteristics. The thermodynamic performance of J-T refrigerator highly depends on the hydraulic and heat transfer characteristics of the recuperative heat exchanger. The typical recuperative heat exchanger of the J-T refrigerator has the double helical tube and fin configuration. In this study, effectiveness-NTU approach was adopted to predict the thermodynamic behaviors of the heat exchanger for the J-T refrigerator. The thermodynamic properties from the REFPROP were used to account the real gas effects of the gas. The results show the effect of the operating conditions on the performance of the heat exchanger and refrigerator for the given heat exchanger. The influences of mass flow rate and the supply pressure on the effectiveness of heat exchanger and the ideal cooling capacity are discussed in details.

The performance of cryogenic refrigerator greatly depends on the effectiveness of heat exchanger, which generates major entropy at low temperature. There are numerous types of heat exchanger available, but it is not easy to apply most of them to cryogenic application because the cryogenic heat exchanger must have high effectiveness value as well as small conduction loss in the environment of considerable temperature difference. In this paper, two kinds of heat exchanger are noticeably introduced for high-effectiveness miniature cryogenic recuperator(recuperative heat ex-changer). Also, the flow mal-distribution problem, which is a critical issue of performance deterioration in a high-effectiveness recuperator, is addressed with simplified model, and its alleviation method is discussed.

50㎾급 터보제너레이터 가스터빈 엔진에 리쿠퍼레이터가 부착되는 경우 성능 변화를 조사하였다. 리쿠퍼레이터는 군사 및 소형 자동차용 엔진에 경제적 연비와 배기가스 저감의 목적으로 많이 적용되어 왔다. 열역학적 관점에서 볼 때 재생사이클은 압축비 10이하 및 비교적 낮은 터빈 입구온도에서 사이클의 효율 상승에 기여하는 바가 큰 것으로 나타난다. 1축단순사이클 터보제너레이터 가스터빈 엔진에 리쿠퍼레이터를 부착하는 경우 리쿠퍼레이터 효율 $\varepsilon$ = 0.5에서 엔진의 효율은 상대적으로 약 30% 증가하는 것으로 나타났고 이때 열교환기내의 압력 손실은 5.2%로 설계하였다. 용이한 제작, 구조적 견고성, 최소의 누출 둥의 장점으로 튜브형의 열교환 시스템이 본 가스터빈 엔진에 적합한 것으로 판단되었다.

In this study, an in-house program to predict steady state operation of micro gas turbines is constructed using MATLAB. The program consists of two parts: design and off-design simulations. The program is fully modular in its structure, and performance of each component (compressor, combustor, turbine, recuperative heat exchanger and pipe elements) is calculated in a separate calculation module using mass and energy balances as well as models for off-design characteristics. The off-design modules of compressor and turbine use performance maps, which are program inputs. The off-design operation of a micro gas turbine under development was predicted by the program. The prediction results were compared with those by commercial software, and the validity of the in-house program was confirmed.

Miniature Joule-Thomson refrigerators have been widely used for rapid cooling of infrared detectors, optoelectronic device, and integrated circuits of micro electronics. The typical J-T refrigerator consists of the recuperative heat exchanger with the double helical tube and fin configuration, J-T nozzle, a mandrel, Dewar and a compressed gas storage bottle. In this study, to predict the thermodynamic behaviors of the refrigerator with a compressed gas storage bottle during the cool-down time, numerical study of transient characteristics for a J-T refrigerator was developed. A simplified transient one.dimensional model of the momentum and energy equations was simultaneously solved to consider the thermal interactions of the each component of the refrigerator. To account for effects of the thermal mass of the solid, the heat capacities of the tube, fins, mandrel and Dewar are considered. The results show the charged gas pressure of the gas storage bottle has significant effects on the performance of the J-T refrigerator. At the elevated gas pressure of the gas storage bottle, the large capacity of the compressed gas storage does not need to get the fast cool-down performance of the J-T refrigerator in the cool-down stage.
