The experimental results of the G-M (Gifford-McMahon) type pulse tube refrigerators are presented in this paper. The pulse tube refrigerator, which has no moving parts at its cold section, is attractive in obtaining higher reliability, simpler construction, and lower vibration than any other small refrigerators. The objectives of this study are to develop the design technology of the G-M type pulse tube refrigerator and acquire its application methods for replacing G-M cryocooler. As a preliminary test, the refrigeration performances of the basic, orifice, and double inlet pulse tube refrigerators were investigated. The lowest temperature obtained in the one-stage pulse tube refrigerator was 34.4K and the refrigeration capacity at the optimum operation condition was 23W at 80K. And the lowest temperature of the second stage cold head in the two-stage pulse tube refrigerators was 18.3K and the refrigeration capacities at optimum condition were 0.45W at 20K and 20W at 80K, respectively. Finally, the lowest temperature obtained in the three-stage pulse tube refrigerator was 29.8K and the refrigeration capacity at the optimum operation condition was 1.3W for 40K and 5W for 70K.

The objective of this study is to investigate performance characteristics of a household refrigerator using a two-stage compression cycle. The performance of the two-stage compression cycle was measured by varying the compressor speed, condensing temperature, and evaporating temperature. The COP of the two-stage compression cycle was analyzed and then compared with that of the single-stage compression cycle. The optimum combination of compressor speeds for a low- and a high-stage was determined. The COP of the two-stage compression cycle using a PTC (parallel two-stage compression) method was 5.85% higher than that of a STC (serial two-stage compression) method at optimum operating conditions.

This paper concerns the study of a two-stage absorption heat pump cycle to utilize treated sewage. This two-stage cycle consists of coupling double-effect with parallel or series flow type and single effect cycle so that the first stage absorber and condenser produces hot water to evaporate refrigerant in the evaporator of the second stage. The effects of operating variables such as absorber temperature on the coefficient of performance have been studied for two-stage absorption heat pump cycle. The working fluid is lithium bromide and water solution. The efficiency of the two-stage absorption heat pump cycle has been studied and simulation results show that higher coefficient of performance could be obtained for the first stage with parallel flow type. The optimum ratio of solution distribution can be shown by considering the COP, the crystallization of solution and the generator temperature.

본 연구에서는 프로판이 주성분인 혼합냉매를 사용하여 프로세스의 온도를 $-20^{\circ}C$까지 낮추는 증기 재 압축을 활용한 냉동사이클에 대한 전산모사를 수행하였다. 냉매의 공급온도는 프로세스와의 온도차를 $10^{\circ}C$로 가정하여 $-30^{\circ}C$로 정하였다. 전산모사를 위한 열역학 모델식으로는 Peng-Robinson 상태방정식을 적용하였으며, 냉매 혼합물의 각 성분에 대한 순수성분의 온도에 따른 증기압을 잘 추산하기 위해서 새로운 Alpha function을 이용하였다. 한편, 냉매 혼합물의 각각의 이성분계 실험 데이터를 잘 추산하기 위한 혼합규칙으로는 van der Waals 혼합규칙을 사용하였다. 한편 전체공정의 전산모사를 위해서 Invensys사의 PRO/II with PROVISION 8.2를 활용하였으며, 압축기의 소요동력을 최소화시키기 위해서 2단 압축공정을 사용하였으며. 첫 번째 압축기 후단의 최적 압력은 6bar이며 이때 총 소요동력은 755.7kW임을 알 수 있었다.

In the fishing boat, freshwater ice is loaded on the fishroom in advance and it is used for storage of fishes. However, it causes degradation of catches' freshness. Therefore, seawater ice machine on board is necessary for the fishing industry. In this study, seawater ice machine with drum type evaporator was manufactured, and the system was tested under various operating conditions having an influence on the COP and amount of ice produced. The main results are as follow : The COP of the system gets larger when the evaporation temperature and rotation speed of the drum in the evaporator increases. The most effective refrigerant is R22 and the value of the COP was 1.43 times higher than that of R404A. The amount of produced ice increases with respect to increment of the evaporation temperature, while that decreases with respect to increment of the evaporator drum rotation speed.

For supporting future demands of lower temperature. environmental friendly low- temperature refrigerants must be studied and developed to replace halocarbon. Ethane. which is one of hydrocarbon compound. is an environmental friendly refrigerant because it has zero ODP and GWP ${\sim}$ 20[per 100yr]. On this study, two-stage cascade refrigeration system was utilized to investigate performance of ethane on the low-stage. By employing R22 at higher stages. energetic performance as well as operating condition of R22/R170 system is compared to R22/R23. At low stage evaporation pressure ranges from 1.10 to 2.74 bar, R22/R170 shows higher COP over R22/R23. Furthermore, at the same range evaporation temperature R22/R170 can reach lower temperature.

For heat pumps used in a cold region, it is very important to obtain appropriate heating capacity. Several studies using a variable speed compressor and an additional heater have been performed to enhance heating capacity at low ambient temperatures. However, for outdoor temperature conditions below $-15^{\circ}C$, it is still difficult to obtain enough heating capacity above the rated value. In recent studies, the application of gas injection technique into a two-stage heat pump yielded noticeable heating performance improvement at low temperature conditions. In this study, the heating performance of a two-stage gas injection heat pump with a rated capacity of 3.5 kW was measured and analyzed by varying refrigerant charge amount and EEV opening at the standard heating condition. The heating performance of the two-stage gas injection heat pump was compared with that of a two-stage non-injection heat pump. The heating capacity and COP of the two-stage gas injection heat pump were improved by 2-10% at the optimal charging condition over those of the two-stage non-injection heat pump.

This paper describes a modified Roebuck compression device as a potential compression device of a rotating cryogenic refrigeration system in superconducting machine such as generator or motor. The conventional cryogen transfer method from stationary refrigeration system to rotating system can be eliminated by an on-board cryogenic refrigeration system that utilizes well-designed multi-stage modified Roebuck compression device. This paper shows basic thermodynamic analysis of modified Roebuck compression device and its application for compressing neon at 77 K with substantial pressure ratio when the rotor diameter is 0.8 m with rotating speed of 3600 rpm. The device does not require any moving part in rotating frame, but two separate thermal reservoirs to convert thermal energy into mechanical compression work. The high temperature thermal reservoir is atmospheric environment at 300 K and the low temperature thermal reservoir is assumed as a liquid nitrogen bath at 77 K. The concept of the compression device in this paper demonstrates its usefulness of generating high-pressure neon at 77 K for rotating J-T neon refrigeration cycle of superconducting rotor.

The conventional ejector-diffuser system makes use of high pressure primary stream to propel the secondary stream through pure shear action for the purposes of transport or compression of fluid. It has been widely used in many industrial applications such as seawater desalination, solar refrigeration, marine engineering, etc. The present study is performed numerically to study the performance of a two-stage ejector-diffuser system. The detailed flow phenomenon of the ejector-diffuser system has been critically predicted by means of the numerical approach using compressible Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations. The axi-symmetric supersonic ejector-diffuser flow has been solved by a fully implicit finite volume scheme with a two-equation k-omega turbulence model. The numerical results are validated with existing experimental data. Detailed flow physics and their contributions on ejector performance are detected to compare both single-stage and two-stage ejectors. The performance improvement on the ejector-diffuser system is discussed in terms of the mass flux ratio and the coefficient of power.
