Abstract

In this paper, cycle performance analysis of $NH_3-CO_2$(R717-R744) two-stage cascade 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 subcooling and superheating degree, compressor efficiency, and condensing and evaporating temperature in the ammonia(R717) high temperature cycle and the carbon dioxide low temperature cycle. The main results were summarized as follows : The COP of two-stage cascade refrigeration system increases with the increasing subcooling degree, but decreases with the increasing superheating degree. The COP of two-stage cascade refrigeration system decreases with the increasing condensing temperature, but increases with the increasing evaporating temperature. And the COP of two-stage cascade refrigeration system increases with increasing the compressor efficiency. Therefore, superheating and subcoolng degree, compressor efficiency, and evaporating and condensing temperature of $NH_3-CO_2$(R717-R744) two-stage cascade refrigeration system have an effect on the COP of this system.

본 논문은 암모니아-이산화탄소용 이원 냉동시스템의 작동변수에 대한 최적의 설계자료를 제공하고자 이원 냉동시스템의 사이클 성능을 분석하였다. 작동변수로는 암모니아용 고온사이클과 이산화탄소용 저온사이클내의 과냉각도와 과열도, 압축기효율, 응축과 증발온도이다. 이에 대한 주요결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 이원 냉동사이클의 과냉도가 증가할수록 COP는 증가하는 반면 과열도가 증가할수록 COP는 감소하는 것을 알 수 있다. 이원 냉동사이클의 응축온도가 증가할수록 이원 냉동사이클의 COP는 증가하는 반면 증발온도가 증가할수록 COP가 감소함을 알 수 있다. 또한, 이원 냉동사이클의 압축효율이 증가할수록 COP가 증가한다. 따라서, 과열도, 과냉각도, 압축효율, 증발온도, 응축온도 등의 인자들이 R717과 R744용 이원 냉동사이클의 COP에 영향을 미친다.
