The objective of this study is to investigate the influence of the cooling performance for a water-to-water 10 RT ground source heat pump by using the water switching and refrigerant switching method. The test of water-to-water ground source heat pump was measured by varying the compressor speed, load side inlet temperature, and ground heat source side temperature. The cooling capacity and refrigerant mass flow rate of the heat pump increased with increasing ground heat source temperature. But COP of the heat pump decreased with increasing ground heat source temperature. As a result, the water switching method with counter flow, compared to a refrigerant switching method, improves the cooling capacity and COP by approximately 6~9% in average, respectively.

In the air-conditioning industry, the refrigerant charging amount is one of the most important parameters affecting the energy efficiency ratio of heat pumps. An experimental study was performed on the characteristics of an inverter driven air-to-air heat pump system with a variation of compressor frequency and charging amount of refrigerant. The frequency was altered from 40Hz to 70Hz and the charging amount was changed from 1.6kg to 2.8kg in tests. The variation of performance was measured with switching of the expansion valve on each frequency and charging amount. All the tests were performed at the Korean Standard and test conditions of the air conditioners. As results, it was found that there existed the charging amount and the level of the suction gas superheat which provided the highest energy efficiency ratio at all the frequency bands.

냉동기 냉매 충전에는 수동용 매니폴드게이지가 이용되고 있으며 냉매 충전시에는 3가지 호스를 여러번 교체하게 되는데 이에 따라 냉매손실이 수반되고 냉매가 대기중에 방출된다. 본 연구에서는 자동 냉매 충전장치를 개발하고 장치내의 불응축 가스 및 압축기 오일에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 평가하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 자동 냉매 충전장치는 단 한번의 호스장착과 선택스위치의 조작만으로 전자밸브 및 진공펌프가 자동개폐 및 작동되어 내압시험, 진공시험, 냉매 충전작업이 가능하게 되며 진공펌프를 분리해서 보관하지 않아도 되므로 조작이 매우 간편하다. 진공펌프 흡입 및 토출측 관로에 종래와 같이 호스내의 불응축 가스 제거의 필요성을 배제하여 냉매 손실과 대기오염을 방지하고 냉매 충전시에 종래와 같이 충전호스를 여러번 교체 할 필요가 없으므로 확실한 충전이 가능케 된다. 실험결과 수동 매니폴드게이지를 사용할 때에 비해 실리카겔(SiO$_2$)및 압축기 오일중의 수분량은 1/4 이하로 줄어 오일의 수명과 진공펌프의 수명을 연장할 수 있음을 밝혀내었다.

본 논문에서는 냉매의 흡열 또는 응축열을 이용하여 저온의 열원을 고온으로 전달하거나 고온의 열원을 저온으로 전달하는 공기열원 히트 시스템을 설계 제작하였다. 히트펌프는 냉동 사이클에서 응축기 및 증발기를 기능이 전환가능한 밸브를 이용하며 따라서 난방시에 응축기 기능을 하는 열교환기가 냉방시에는 증발기 기능을 하도록 함으로써 냉난방을 구현할 수 있도록 하였다. 이를 위하여 저온의 열원을 고온으로 전달하거나 고온의 열원을 저온으로 전달하기 위한 체계가 개발되었다. 실험을 위하여 냉각 사이클에서 콘덴서와 증발기를 전환하는 기능으로 밸브를 사용하기 위한 히트펌프를 제작하였다. 그 결과 히트펌프시스템은 공기열원방법으로 개발되어졌으며 하나의 시스템으로 냉난방을 동시에 해결할 수 있는 에너지 절약 시스템을 설계하였다.

This article reviews the papers published in the Korean Journal of Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Engineering during 2008. It is intended to understand the status of current research in the areas of heating, cooling, ventilation, sanitation, and indoor environments of buildings and plant facilities. Conclusions are as follows. (1) Research trends in thermal and fluid engineering have been surveyed in the categories of general fluid flow, fluid machinery and piping, new and renewable energy, and fire. Well-developed CFD technologies were widely applied in developing facilities and their systems. New research topics include fire, fuel cell, and solar energy. Research was mainly focused on flow distribution and optimization in the fields of fluid machinery and piping. Topics related to the development of fans and compressors had been popular, but were no longer investigated widely. Research papers on micro heat exchangers using nanofluids and micro pumps were also not presented during this period. There were some studies on thermal reliability and performance in the fields of new and renewable energy. Numerical simulations of smoke ventilation and the spread of fire were the main topics in the field of fire. (2) Research works on heat transfer presented in 2008 have been reviewed in the categories of heat transfer characteristics, industrial heat exchangers, and ground heat exchangers. Research on heat transfer characteristics included thermal transport in cryogenic vessels, dish solar collectors, radiative thermal reflectors, variable conductance heat pipes, and flow condensation and evaporation of refrigerants. In the area of industrial heat exchangers, examined are research on micro-channel plate heat exchangers, liquid cooled cold plates, fin-tube heat exchangers, and frost behavior of heat exchanger fins. Measurements on ground thermal conductivity and on the thermal diffusion characteristics of ground heat exchangers were reported. (3) In the field of refrigeration, many studies were presented on simultaneous heating and cooling heat pump systems. Switching between various operation modes and optimizing the refrigerant charge were considered in this research. Studies of heat pump systems using unutilized energy sources such as sewage water and river water were reported. Evaporative cooling was studied both theoretically and experimentally as a potential alternative to the conventional methods. (4) Research papers on building facilities have been reviewed and divided into studies on heat and cold sources, air conditioning and air cleaning, ventilation, automatic control of heat sources with piping systems, and sound reduction in hydraulic turbine dynamo rooms. In particular, considered were efficient and effective uses of energy resulting in reduced environmental pollution and operating costs. (5) In the field of building environments, many studies focused on health and comfort. Ventilation. system performance was considered to be important in improving indoor air conditions. Due to high oil prices, various tests were planned to examine building energy consumption and to cut life cycle costs.
