R744용 초임계 증기압축식 냉동시스템의 작동변수에 대한 기초설계자료를 제공하고자 냉동능력, 압축일량, 성적계수에 대한 사이클 성능분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구에서 고려된 작동변수는 R744 증기압축식 사이클의 과열도, 가스냉각기 출구온도, 증발온도이다. R744의 냉동능력은 과열도가 증가할수록 증가하는 반면, 증발온도와 가스냉각기 출구온도가 증가할수록 감소한다. 압축일량은 R744의 과열도와 냉각압력과 함께 증가하나 증발온도는 증가할수록 감소한다. 그리고 성적계수는 가스냉각기의 출구온도와 증발온도가 증가할수록 증가하는 반면, 과열도는 감소한다. 그러므로, R744용 초임계 증기압축식 냉동시스템의 냉동능력, 압축일량, 성적계수는 과열도, 가스냉각기 출구온도, 증발온도에 영향을 받는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서, R744용 초임계 증기압축식 냉동시스템을 설계할 경우에는 이러한 영향을 면밀하게 파악하여야 한다.

Since the energy demand for refrigeration and air-conditioning has greatly increased all over the world, thermally activated refrigeration cycle has attracted much attention. This study carries out a performance analysis of a vapor compression cycle (VCC) driven by organic Rankine cycle (ORC) utilizing low-temperature heat source in the form of sensible heat. The ORC is assumed to produce minimum net work which is required to drive the VCC without generating an excess electricity. Effects of important system parameters such as turbine inlet pressure, condensing temperature, and evaporating temperature on the system variables such as mass flow ratio, net work production, and coefficient of performance (COP) are thoroughly investigated. The effect of choice of working fluid on COP is also considered. Results show that net work production and COP increase with increasing turbine inlet pressure or decreasing condensing temperature. Out of the five kinds of organic fluids considered $C_4H_{10}$ gives a relatively high COP in the range of low turbine inlet pressure.

In this study, comparison study has been performed between two-stage compression and a vapor-recompression refrigeration cycle and a liquefaction using LNG cold heat. When using a first method using two-stage compression and a refrigeration cycle, at least three compressors are required, however when using LNG cold heat, no compressor is required since carbon dioxide can be pumped after condensing with the heat exchange with -160℃ of LNG. Through this study, we can save more than one hundred million KRW annually by using LNG cold heat instead of using gas compression and refrigeration cycle.

최근 기본 냉동사이클에 이젝터를 적용한 고효율 냉동사이클의 개발에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행 중이다. 이러한 이젝터는 그 적용 위치에 따라 이젝터의 역할 뿐만 아니라 냉동사이클의 성능도 달라진다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이젝터 적용 위치가 다른 세 가지 냉동사이클을 선정하고, 각 사이클의 성능을 비교 및 분석하였다. 그 결과, 모든 이젝터 적용 냉동사이클의 COP가 기본 냉동사이클에 비해 최대 44% 향상되었다. 특히 본 연구에서 제안하는 이젝터 냉동사이클의 COP가 3.47로 가장 높게 나타났다. 그리고, 기본 냉동사이클과 비교하여 Bergander 사이클, Xing 사이클, 그리고 본 연구에서 제안한 이젝터 냉동사이클의 응축열량이 최대 21% 감소하였다. 따라서, 본 연구로부터 이젝터 적용 냉동사이클에서 이젝터의 압력비, 토출부 건도, 압축비 등은 냉동장치의 성능 향상에 영향을 미치는 중요한 요소이므로 이들에 대한 최적 제어가 대단히 중요하다.

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.

For the past few decades the vapor compression cycle with a solution circuit (VCCSC) has been known to provide high efficiency and variable capacity. In this study performance of a VCCSC cycle is examined through computer simulation. In the simulation heat exchangers were modelled by specifying UA or effectiveness values while the compressor performance was specified by an isentropic efficiency. Aqua/ammonia solution was chosen as the working fluid which can be used in the high temperature range. The results show that there exists an optimum operation condition which is dependent upon the temperatures of the external heat transfer fluids(HTFs). Besides the HTF\`s temperature, the maximum system pressure and the size of the solution heat exchanger are shown to have an influence on the optimum operation condition. Finally, as compared to a simple vapor compression heat pump with HFC134a, the COP of the VCCSC is shown to be 2∼22% higher.

This paper presents a numerical study on the performance of a vapor compression cycle equipped with an ejector as an expansion device to improve the COP by reducing the expansion loss and compressor work. The simulation is carried out using a model based on the conservation of mass, energy and momentum in the ejector. From the results of the simulation, the vapor compression cycle equipped with an ejector showed a maximum COP improvement of 14.0% when using R134a refrigerant and 16.8% when using R1234yf. In addition, the performance of the system with an ejector represents the increased performance as the temperature difference between condensing and evaporating increased.

In this study, we compared the performance of several refrigeration cycles using different refrigerants and utilizing the cold heat of liquefied natural gas (LNG) for the liquefaction of carbon dioxide. The final conditions for the liquefied CO₂ were set to -20℃ and 20 bar. The refrigerants used included R404a, ammonia, propane, and propylene using a vapor recompression refrigeration cycle. For the refrigeration cycle, the CO₂ at room temperature and pressure was compressed in a two-stage compression process with an intermediate cooling stage using a refrigeration unit. To compare with the liquefaction process using refrigeration, we compressed the CO₂ to 8 bar in a single compression stage and cooled it to around -50℃ using the cold heat of the LNG before liquefying it. Results showed that using ammonia as the refrigerant required the least amount of compressor power for the liquefaction process, and the heat transfer area of the evaporator was the smallest when using propylene as the refrigerant. Using the cold heat of LNG instead of refrigeration using R404a resulted in approximately 69% less energy consumption.

This study was carried out to develop a simulation model with EES(Engineering equation solver) for analyzing the performance of a grain cooler. In order to validate the developed simulation model, several main factors which have affected on the performance of the gain cooler were investigated through experiments. A simulation model was developed in the standard vapor compression cycle, and then this model was modified considering irreversibe factors so that the developed alternate model could predict the actual cycle of a grain cooler. The compressor efficiency in vapor compression cycle considering irreversibility much affected on the coefficient of performance(COP). The COP in the standard vapor compression cycle model was greatly as high as about 6.50, but the COP in an alternative model considering irreversibility was as low as about 3.27. As a result of comparison between the actual cycle and the vapor compression cycle considering irreversibility, the difference of pressure at compressor outlet(inlet) was a little by about 48kPa (8.8kPa), the temperatures of refrigerant at main parts of the grain cooler were similar. and the temperature of chilled air was about 8$\^{C}$ in both. The model considering irreversibility could predict performance of the grain cooler. The theoretical period required to chill grain of 1,383kg from the initial temperature 24$\^{C}$ to below 11$\^{C}$ was about 55 hours 30 minutes, and the actual period required in a grain bin was about 58 hours. The difference between the predicted and an actual period was about 2 hours 30 minutes. The cooling performance predicted by the developed model could well estimate the cooling period required to chill the grain.

The performance of an air to water vapor compression heat pump has been investigated experimentally. The main purpose of this study was to study the possibilities of using hydrocarbon refrigerants as a working fluid to replace R-22 for vapor compression heat pumps. Pure R-22 and R-290, R-600a, R-1270 were considered as working fluids. The performance of the system was characterized by compression shaft work, refrigeration capacity, pressure ratio, discharge temperature and COP. The experimental apparatus has basic parts of cycle that uses the air as a heat source. The experimental results show that refrigeration capacity of HC refrigerants is same or higher than that of R-22. On the other hand, compression shaft work of HC refrigerants is lower than that of R-22. Compression shaft work is lower than that of R-22. Come to the conclusion that, it is possible that hydrocarbon refrigerants could be drop-in alternatives for R-22.
