This article reviews R＆D of triple effect cycle developed in Japan. Most of the refrigeration and heat pump technologies are dominated by vapor compressor system. The vapor compressor system, however, is highly concerned with the environmental regulations , as most of the vapor compressor technologies are using CFCs or HCFCs which are known as ozone depleting and global warming gases. As a consequence, refrigeration technologists are trying to invent or to develop an alternative to vapor compressor refrigeration devices. Thermally driven, absorption technology is one of the possible alternatives. At the moment, absorption cycle is most promising technology The paper summarizes briefly the current research and development in advanced technologies of triple effect absorption chiller-heater in Japan.(omitted)

In this paper, we suggest PI control with the Smith predictive controller to improve transient response of a variable speed refrigeration system (VSRS). As the refrigeration system has long dead time inherently, it is difficult to get fast responses of super-heat and reference temperature. We incorporated the Smith predictive controller into PI to compensate the effect of the long dead time of the system. At first, we introduced the decoupling model of the system to control capacity and superheat simultaneously and independently. Next, we designed the predictive controller of the superheat based on PI control law. Finally, the control performance by the proposed method was investigated through some numerical simulations and experiments. The results of the simulations and experiments showed that the proposed PI control with the predictive controller could obtain acceptable transient behaviour for the system.

This study was experimentally performed to find the effects of refrigerant subcooling in the refrigeration system and to propose how to get the efficient use of energy. A refrigerant-subcooling refrigeration system consisted of a typical single vapor-compression refrigeration cycle, a subcooler, and an ice storage tank. The degree of subcooling at the exit of the condenser can be increased by the heat transfer between the subcooler and the ice storage tank. The cold heat in the ice storage tank was stored by using the refrigeration cycle during night time and then used to absorb the heat from the subcooler during daytime. The cooling capacity and COP of this system were higher than those of the conventional system due to the increase in the degree of subcooling. Typically, the refrigerant-subcooling system showed superior performance to the conventional refrigeration system and would also contribute to load leveling.

The use of gas absorption refrigeration machine has considerably increased because of the shortage of the electric power in the summer and the regulation of freon refrigerant. Gas absorption refrigeration machine consists of a condenser, a heat exchanger. supplying pipes, a radiator etc, This system is likely to be corroded by acid. dissolved oxygen and gases, Cavitation erosion-corrosion by flow velocity of cooling water may happen in absorption refrigeration machine. In these cases. erosion and corrosion occur simultaneously. Then, it makes a serious damage with synergy effect. Therefore, this paper was studied on the cavitation damage of cupronickel(70/30) tube for gas absorption refrigeration machine, In the $30^{\circ}C$ tap water, linear polarization test and anodic polarization test were carried out for copper(C1220T-OL) and cupronickel(70/30) tube. Also, cavitation erosion-corrosion behavior of cupronickel (70/30) tube was considered, The main results are as following: (1) In the linear test, the corrosion current density of cupronickel(70/30) is higher than that of copper. (2) The erosion-corrosion rate of cupronickel(70/30) displayed later tendency than that of copper by vibratory cavitation in cooling water. (3) In cooling water, the progress mechanism of erosion-corrosion rate of copper and cupronickel(70/30) follows a pattern of incubation, acceleration, attenuation and a steady state period.

In this paper, we will introduce the overview of new project dealing how to increase of refrigeration cycle COP using nano-fluids, CuO, TiO2, Al2O3, that are used on similar previous studies. Recently many studies were performed to show the effect of nano-fluids at refrigeration cycle. But, the reason was not cleared yet. In general, the flow phenomena at the evaporator were guessed to be mixed with the partial pool boiling condition and the flow boiling condition from the previous results not published yet. So, we hope that the COP increase of refrigeration cycle will be verified and showed through this project.

This study analyzed facts affecting the performance of refrigeration systems after throttling actions, by changing the amount of refrigerant according to adjusting the opening of manual expansion valve to 80%, or 20% with vapor compressional refrigeration training equipment. At opening of 20%, the inlet and outlet temperature of compressor, subcooling and superheat, condenser heat, refrigeration effect, flash gas heat, coefficient of performance were higher, while at 80%, condensing pressure, evaporating pressure, compression work were higher, Thus, we could see changes in the amount of refrigerant affect the performance of the refrigeration system.

The gas-fired absorption refrigeration system to utilize treated sewage is available for environmental protection and energy conservation. Simulation analysis on the double-effect absorption refrigeration cycles with parallel or series flow type has been performed. The working fluid is Lithium Bromide and water solution. The main purpose of this study is evaluating the possibilities of effective utilization of treated sewage as a cooling water for the absorber and condenser. The efficiency of a couple of cycles has been studied and simulation results show that higher coefficient of performance could be obtained for parallel flow type. The other purpose of the present study is to determine the optimum designs and operating conditions based on the operating constraints and the coefficent of performance in the paralledl flow type.

This paper focuses on systematic design about the membership ranges of the main design factors such as control error, control error rate, and sampling time for the fuzzy logic control of the variable speed drive refrigeration cycle. The upper and the lowest limit of the membership ranges are set up from the data of static characteristics obtained by experiments. Three kinds of membership ranges on the control error and the control error rate are tested by experiments. Especially, an effect of sampling time on control performance is also investigated in the same way. Experimental data showed the control error rate and the sampling time strongly effected on the control performance of the refrigeration cycle with a variable speed drive.

The objective of this study is to analyze theoretically the performance of an open air-cycle refrigeration system in which environmental concerns increase. The pressure ratio of the external compressor and efficiencies of the components that compose of the system are selected as important parameters. As the pressure ratio of the external compressor increases, the pressure ratio of the ACM compressor is determined high, the refrigerating temperature and capacity increase, the COP decreases, and the total entropy production rate increases. The effect of heat exchanger effectiveness and turbine efficiency on the performance are greater than that of the ACM compressor efficiency. Also the performance of the air-cycle refrigeration system with two heat exchangers has been enhanced like high COP and low total entropy production rate, compared to the system with one heat exchanger.

본 연구에서는 이원냉동시스템에서 사용되던 저온용 규제프레온냉매 R13 및 고온용 규제프레온냉매 R503의 대체냉매로서 프레온혼합냉매 및 친환경적 자연냉매를 사용하는 이원냉동시스템의 성능특성을 규명하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 일반적인 이원냉동시스템의 운전범위에서 과냉각도, 과열도, 응축온도, 증발온도, 캐스케이드 열교환기에서의 온도변화를 고려하였다. 고온시스템 및 저온시스템의 작동유체의 종류에 상관없이 이원냉동시스템의 COP는 캐스케이드의 온도영향을 받고 있으며, 또한 과냉각도가 증가할수록 COP는 높아지지만, 과열도의 영향은 크게 받지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구에서 고온용 시스템 및 저온용 시스템의 작동유체로 대체 프레온혼합냉매 및 자연냉매의 냉매조합 중에서 (R23/R290), (R23/R600), (R23/R600a), (R23/R717), (R744/R404A) 냉매를 사용하는 이원냉동시스템의 COP는 저온측에 R23, 고온측에 R22를 사용하는 시스템에 비해 20 ~ 36% 높게 나타났다.
