The frequency response characteristics of a condenser were numerically studied for the control of refrigeration and air conditioning systems. The important parameters, such as the refrigerant flow rate, refrigerant temperature, air velocity, and air temperature at the condenser inlet, were analyzed. Superheated vapor, two phase, and subcooled liquid domain in condenser can be described by using the energy balance equation and the mass balance equation in refrigerant and tube wall, the basic equation for describing the dynamic characteristics of condenser can be derived. The transfer function for describing dynamic response of the condenser to disturbances can be obtained from using linearizations and Laplace transformations of the equation. From this transfer function, analytical investigation which affects the frequency responses of condenser has been made. Block diagrams were made based on the analytic transfer function; dynamic responses were evaluated in Bode diagrams on the frequency response. Through this study, it became possible that the information about the dynamic characteristics of air-cooled condenser is offered. The results may be used for determining the optimum design parameters in actual components and entire systems. Also, the mathematical models, frequency response may be used to help understanding, evaluate optimum design parameters, design control systems and determine on setting the best controller for the refrigeration and air-conditioning systems.

Liquid pressure amplifiers have been proposed as an energy saving technology for vapor compression refrigeration systems configured with direct-expansion evaporators. The technology utilizes a refrigerant pump in the high pressure liquid line as a means of maintaining a suitable pressure differential across the expansion valve while lowering condensing pressure to achieve the reduction of compressor energy consumption. Applications have been proposed on systems ranging from small unitary air-conditioning to large supermarket and commercial refrigeration systems. This paper clarifies the role of such a device in a vapor compression refrigeration system. Limitations are presented and discussed. Finally, results of detailed analyses are presented to quantify the energy consumption both with and without a liquid pressure amplifier in a unitary air conditioning system. The estimated energy savings associated with the installation of a liquid pressure amplifier are minimal.

This paper was studied on the effect of temperature on corrosion of absorption refrigeration systems using $LiBr-H_2O$ working fluids. In the fresh water and 62 % lithium bromide solution at $70^{\circ}C$, polarization test of SS 400, Cu(C1220T-OL) and Al-Ni bronze was carried out. And polarization behavior, polarization resistance characteristics, corrosion rate(mmpy) and corrosion sensitivity of materials forming absorption refrigeration systems was considered. The main results are as following: (1) As the experimental temperature increase, the change of corrosion rate of Al-Ni bronze become duller than SS 400 and Cu in 62% lithium bromide solution. (2) According as corrosion environment is changed from fresh water to 62% lithium bromide solution, potential change of Cu and Al-Ni bronze become less noble than SS 400. (3) The corrosion sensitivity of Al-Ni bronze was duller than that of Cu and SS 400 in 62% LiBr solution.

Performance of freezing and refrigeration systems in supermarket, which utilized $CO_2$ as a refrigerant, was investigated by using the Pack Calculation II. The configuration of simulated systems was basic parallel refrigeration system, cascade system, and two-stage system. The $CO_2$ cascade system showed higher COP than basic parallel R404A system by 13% for MT and 62% for LT, respectively. Among the $CO_2$ cascade systems, R717(MT)-$CO_2$(LT) showed the highest performance. Open-type intercooler method showed higher performance than liquid injection for the two-stage $CO_2$ systems.

This paper describes the experimental study of reverse-Brayton refrigeration system for application to high temperature superconductivity electric devices and LNG re-liquefaction. The reverse-Brayton refrigeration cycle is designed with operating pressure of 0.5 and 1.0 MPa, cooling capacity of 2 kW at 77 K, and neon as a working fluid. The refrigeration system is developed with multi scroll compressor, turbo expander and plate heat exchanger. From experiments, the performance characteristics of used components is measured and discussed for 77-120 K of operating temperature. The developed refrigeration system shows the cooling capacity of 1.23 kW at 77 K and 1.64 kW at 110 K.

The 1st International Conference on Magnetic Refrigeration at Room Temperature was held at Montreux, Switzerland during September 27-30, 2005. The conference was the first of its kind to bring together about 140 scientists and engineers interested in magnetic refrigeration in one place. The magnetocaloric effect was discovered in 1881, however, magnetic refrigeration at room temperature was demonstrated to be viable in 1997 Since then, R&D efforts toward magnetic refrigeration have been on the rise around the world, in both areas of systems and materials. The conference reflected the recent R&D trend in magnetic refrigeration at room temperature, which includes the use of permanent magnet instead of superconductor magnet, switch from reciprocating to rotary magnetic refrigeration system, development of magnetic materials based on transition metal elements besides rare earth materials such as gadolinium(Gd).

This paper was studied on the effect of temperature on corrosion of absorption refrigeration systems using LiBr-$H_2O$ working fluids. In the fresh water and 62 %lithium bromide solution at $70^{\circ}C$, polarization test of SS 400, Cu(Cl220T-OL) and Ni-Al bronze was carried out. And Polarization behavior, polarization resistance characteristics, corrosion rate(mmpy) and corrosion sensitivity of materials forming absorption refrigeration systems was considered. The main results are as following: As the experimental temperature increase, the change of corrosion rate of Ni-Al bronze become duller than SS 400 and Cu in 62 % lithium bromide solution. Open circuit potential of SS 400 is less noble than that of Cu and Ni-Al bronze in fresh water, but that becomes noble than Cu and Ni-Al bronze in 62 % lithium bromide solution. The corrosion sensitivity of Ni-Al bronze was controlled than that of Cu and SS 400 in 62% LiBr solution.

High water vapour content in air can cause a number of problems as for human or surrounding materials. For human a high water vapour can create physiological stress, discomfort, and also can encourage ill health. While, the cause for the environment is can accelerate the corrosion of metals, accelerate the growth of spores and mould, can reduce the electrical resistance of insulators and etc. Desiccant systems have been proposed as energy saving alternatives to vapor compression air conditioning for handling especially the latent load and also sensible load. Use of liquid desiccants offers several design and performance advantages over solid desiccants, especially when solar energy is used for regeneration. The liquid desiccants contact the gas inside the packed tower of liquid desiccant solar cooling system and the heat transfer and mass transfer will occur. This thesis is trying to study the characteristics inside the packed tower of dehumidifier systems. This characteristics consist of mass transfer rate, heat transfers rate, human comfort and energy that consume by the system. Those characteristics were affected by air flow rates, air temperature and humidity, and desiccant temperature and all that variation will influence the performance of the systems. The results of this thesis later on can be used to determine the best performance of the systems.

Refrigeration and air-conditioning equipments are indispensable products in this civilized society. However, discharged refrigerants used in the equipments and exhausted carbon dioxide to drive the refrigeration and air-conditioning equipments are related to serious environmental problems and energy problems. Especially, the destroyed ozonosphere by the discharged refrigerants and the increased normal temperature by carbon dioxide and fluorocarbon refrigerants (green house gases) are sounded as serious global problems. For alleviating these problems, environmental-friendly refrigeration and air-conditioning equipments must be developed and will spread soon. To develop new equipment, a suitable refrigerant for each usage must be presented. In this paper, the current state of refrigerants was introduced. And, thermophysical properties of the refrigerants were introduced briefly. From the properties, the refrigerants and refrigeration cycles are promising to be used in the future, were proposed
