The present study has been conducted to develop a heat pump system using river water of temperature energy which not only belongs to unutilized energy but is a kind of good heat source due to maintain its temperature in a certain degree regardless of seasonal variation. The system did not meet the proposed performance after setup. In this paper, the system performance affected by refrigerant Oil, by pressure drop, or by other factors has been discussed. The followings were obtained : (1) Refrigerant Oil mixture rate was 2.5 in weight percentage, (2) Pressure drop through evaporator was 29.1kPa($3.1^{\circ}C$ in saturated tempearture) (3) Pressure drop from the end of evaporator to compressor inlet was 39.8kPa($4.0^{\circ}C$ in saturated tempearture). (4) The system performance can to be improved by modifying a part of pipe line to compressor, and reducing pressure drop through heat exchangers.

In this study, heating performance of the air-cooled heat pump with vapor-injection (VI) cycles, re-heater and solar heat storage tank was investigated experimentally. Devices used in the experiment were comprised of a VI compressor, re-heater, economizer, variable evaporator, flat-plate solar collector for hot water, thermal storage tank, etc. As working fluid, refrigerant R410A for heat pump and propylene glycol (PG) for solar collector were used. In this experiment, heating performance was compared by three cycles, A, B and C. In case of Cycle B, heat exchange was conducted between VI suction refrigerant and inlet refrigerant of condenser by re-heater (Re-heater in Fig. 3, No. 3) (Cycle B), and Cycle A was not use re-heater on the same operating conditions. In case of Cycle C, outlet refrigerant from evaporator go to thermal storage tank for getting a thermal energy from solar thermal storage tank while re-heater also used. As a result, Cycle C reached the target temperature of water in a shorter time than Cycle B and Cycle A. In addition, it was founded that, as for the coefficient of heating performance($COP_h$), the performance in Cycle C was improved by 13.6% higher than the performance of Cycle B shown the average $COP_h$ of 3.0 and by 18.9% higher than the performance of Cycle A shown the average $COP_h$ of 2.86. From this results, It was confirmed that the performance of heat pump system with refrigerant re-heater and VI cycle can be improved by applying solar thermal energy as an auxiliary heat source.

A centrifugal water chiller using alternative refrigerant R134a has been developed. The prototype was designed to have refrigerating capacity of 300RT. Its compressor employs a single high-speed impeller, airfoil diffuser and collector. Newly developed, enhanced tubes were installed in the evaporator and the condenser to reduce the required head for the compressor. Off-design characteristics at various conditions, performance test of the compressor and analysis of the refrigeration cycle were performed. So the probability of use in part load condition was checked and the direction for revision was suggested.

냉동기 냉매 충전에는 수동용 매니폴드게이지가 이용되고 있으며 냉매 충전시에는 3가지 호스를 여러번 교체하게 되는데 이에 따라 냉매손실이 수반되고 냉매가 대기중에 방출된다. 본 연구에서는 자동 냉매 충전장치를 개발하고 장치내의 불응축 가스 및 압축기 오일에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 평가하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 자동 냉매 충전장치는 단 한번의 호스장착과 선택스위치의 조작만으로 전자밸브 및 진공펌프가 자동개폐 및 작동되어 내압시험, 진공시험, 냉매 충전작업이 가능하게 되며 진공펌프를 분리해서 보관하지 않아도 되므로 조작이 매우 간편하다. 진공펌프 흡입 및 토출측 관로에 종래와 같이 호스내의 불응축 가스 제거의 필요성을 배제하여 냉매 손실과 대기오염을 방지하고 냉매 충전시에 종래와 같이 충전호스를 여러번 교체 할 필요가 없으므로 확실한 충전이 가능케 된다. 실험결과 수동 매니폴드게이지를 사용할 때에 비해 실리카겔(SiO$_2$)및 압축기 오일중의 수분량은 1/4 이하로 줄어 오일의 수명과 진공펌프의 수명을 연장할 수 있음을 밝혀내었다.

본 논문에서는 $CO_2$ 냉매를 적용하는 수열원 히트펌프 시스템의 성능특성에 관하여 실험적으로 연구하였다. 냉매충진량, 전자팽창밸브 개도, 압축기 주파수, 내부열교환기의 유무 등 다양한 운전변수에 따라 냉방, 난방성능 및 COP 특성을 분석하였다. 실험결과는 2200g의 냉매충진량, 26%의 전자팽창밸브 개도비율에서 최고의 COP 곡선을 나타내고 있고 압축기 주파수의 증가에 따라 냉방능력은 증가하나 난방능력은 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 이 시스템의 경우 내부열교환기를 포함할 경우 내부열교환기가 없을 경우에 비해 약 4%의 냉방 COP 증가되었고 난방 COP는 약 0.89%감소로 성능변화가 거의 나타나지 않았다.

In this study, the steady state performance of a $CO_2$ heat pump water heater was measured with a variation of operating conditions such as refrigerant charge amount, compressor frequency, EEV opening, and water mass flow rate. Transient state performance tests were also conducted to investigate major system effects associated with the interaction between the $CO_2$ heat pump water heater and the water tank. Optimum refrigerant charge amount for the system was 1600 g. At compressor frequencies of 50 Hz and 60 Hz, water mass flow rates of 95 kg/h and 105 kg/h, and EEV opening of 8% and 16%, the water heating temperatures were $65^{\circ}C$ and $68^{\circ}C$ and COPs were 3.0 and 2.8, respectively. In the transient condition, the instantaneous COP decreased with an increase in the inlet water temperature.

In this study, evaporation pressure drop experiments were conducted with two types of plate and shell heat exchangers (P&SHE) using R-22. An experimental refrigerant loop has been established to measure the evaporation pressure drop of R-22 in a vertical P&SHE. The flow channels were formed by stacking three plates having a corrugated channel of a chevron angle of 45 dog. The R-22 flows down in one channel exchanging heat with the hot water flowing up in the other channel. The effect of the refrigerant mass flux, average heat flux, system pressure and vapor quality were explored in detail. During the experiment, the quality change between the inlet and outlet of the refrigerant channel ranges from 0.03 to 0.15. The present data showed that two types of P&SHE have similar trends. The pressure drop in-creases with the vapor quality for both types of P&SHE. At a higher mass flux, the Pressure drop is higher for the entire range of the vapor quality. Also, the increase in the average heat flux increases the pressure drop. Finally, at a higher system pressure, the pressure drop is found to be slightly lower compared to the lower system pressure.

In this paper a new type refrigerant liquid subcooling system which adopts ice storage system is proposed. And the cycle characteristicso of a new system was investigated. Since this system subcools a refrigerant in the daytime using the ice storaged by electric power in the night it is high efficiency heat pump system which have the merit of ice storage system and possible to improve the performance of the heat pump. The running to storage the ie was carried out for 10 hours in the night and th evaporating temperature was set on $-5^{\circ}C.$ Subcooling operation stayed as 430^{\circ}C$ subcooling degree and perfomed till the water in the IST(Ice storage tank) was reached $12^{\circ}C$. The experimental result showed that a new system was superior to the existing refrigeration system generally. The total cooling capacity of a new system was about 11% higher than that of the existing refrigeration system. And the COP of a new system was improved by 22% compared to the existing refrigeration system.

In this paper, the experimental results of condensation heat transfer were reported for the plate and shell heat exchangers(P&SHE) using R-l34a. An experimental refrigerant loop has been established to measure the condensation heat transfer coefficient of R-l34a in a vertical P&SHE. Two vertical counter flow channels were formed in the P&SHE by three plates of geometry with a corrugated trapezoid shape of a chevron angle of 45$^{\circ}$. Downflow of the condensing R-l34a in one channel releases heat to the cold up flow of water in the other channel. The effect of the refrigerant mass flux, average heat flux, system pressure and vapor quality of R-l34a on the measured data were explored in detail. The results indicate that at a higher vapor quality the condensation heat transfer coefficients are significantly higher. Condensation heat transfer coefficients were increased when the refrigerant mass flux was increased. A rise in the average heat flux causes an slight increase in the hr. Finally, at a higher system pressure the hr is found to be lower. Correlation is also provided for the measured heat transfer coefficients in terms of the Nusselt number.
