본 논문은 포항지역 태양광 데이터를 기반으로 태양열을 적용시켜 12kW의 소형 초임계 이산화탄소(s-CO₂) 시험 루프의 설계와 실험 시설의 이론적 연구, 안정화 및 최적화를 통한 이산화탄소의 특성 연구에 초점을 맞추고 있다. 실험 시설의 열역학 사이클은 구성 요소의 한계로 인해 액체, 가스 및 초임계 CO₂가 모두 존재하는 랭킨 사이클(임계점 순환 주기)이며, 펌프, 히터, 레귤레이터, 열교환기, 가스 부스터, 에어 컴프레서 등으로 구성된다. 현재 본 연구에서 제작된 12kW 소형 발전 시스템은 최고압력 12MPa 최고 온도 70℃의 조건에서 6.98%의 효율이 나타나도록 설계되었다. 본 실험 장치를 소형 Brayton cycle과 비교했을 때 약 2% 높은 효율을 가진다는 것을 이론적으로 확인하였고, 사이클 효율을 높이기 위해 최적의 터빈 입구 온도와 압력을 얻었으며, 이 조건에서 IHX(내부 열교환기)의 도입시 18.75%의 최대 효율을 기대할 수 있다는 결론을 도출하였다. 마지막으로, 실험 설비의 태양광 시뮬레이션 결과 5월에는 6.7%, 6월에는 6.26%의 효율로 태양열을 이용할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

In this paper, cycle performance analysis of R744($CO_2$) two-stage compression and one-stage expansion refrigeration system is presented to offer the basic design data for the operating parameters of the system. The operating parameters considered in this study include superheating degree, compressor efficiency, gas cooling pressure, mass flowrate ratio, outlet temperature of gas cooler and evaporating temperature in the carbon dioxide two-stage refrigeration cycle. The main results were summarized as follows : The cooling capacity of two-stage compression and one-stage expansion refrigeration system increases with the increasing superheating degree, compressor efficiency and gas cooling pressure, but decreases with the increasing mass flowrate ratio and evaporating temperature. The compression work of two-stage compression and one-stage expansion refrigeration system increases with the increasing superheating degree, outlet temperature of gas cooler, gas cooling pressure and evaporating temperature, but decreases with the increasing compressor efficiency and mass flowrate ratio. The COP of two-stage compression and one-stage expansion refrigeration system increases with the increasing compressor efficiency, but decreases with the increasing superheating degree, gas cooling pressure, mass flowrate ratio and evaporating temperature. Therefore, superheating degree, compressor efficiency, gas cooling pressure, mass flowrate ratio, outlet temperature of gas cooler and evaporating temperature of R744($CO_2$) two-stage compression and one-stage expansion refrigeration system have an effect on the cooling capacity, compressor work and COP of this system.

Since operating conditions are significantly different for heating and cooling mode operations in a $CO_2$ heat pump system, it is difficult to optimize the performance of the $CO_2$ cycle. In addition, the performance of a $CO_2$ heat pump is very sensitive to outdoor temperature and gascooler pressure. In this study, the cooling and heating performances of a variable speed $CO_2$ heat pump with a twin-rotary compressor were measured and analyzed with the variations of EEV opening and compressor frequency. As a result, the cooling and heating COPs were 2.3 and 3.0, respectively, when the EEV opening was 22%. When the optimal EEV openings for heating and cooling were 28% and 16%, the cooling and heating COPs increased by 3.3% and 3.9%, respectively, over the COPs at the EEV opening of 22%. Beside, the heating performance was more sensitive to EEV opening than the cooling performance. As the compressor speed decreased by 5 Hz, the cooling COP increased by 2%, while the heating COP decreased by 8%.
