초록

항공전자기기의 정상적인 동작을 위해서는 내부에서 발생되는 열부하를 적절히 처리해야 하기 때문에 냉각시스템의 장착이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 항공용 냉각시스템으로의 대체냉매 적용 가능성을 분석하기 위하여 증기압축 사이클 방식의 밀폐 공기순환 냉각시스템을 설계 제작하였다. 대체냉매로 가장 유력한 R236fa를 냉각시스템에 적용하여 냉매 충전량, 팽창밸브 개도, 그리고 압축기 운전회전수 변화에 따른 성능특성을 실험적으로 고찰하였다. 또한, 실험결과를 기존 냉매인 R124의 실험결과와 비교 평가를 수행하여, R236fa가 대체냉매로서 적용 가능함을 확인하였다. 최종적으로 R236fa를 적용한 냉각시스템의 효율 향상을 위한 설계 개선안을 제시하였다.

A cooling system is adopted to control the thermal load from the avionic equipments in an aircraft for stable operation. In this study, an avionic cooling system was designed and manufactured by adopting a vapor compression cycle with a closed-loop air-circulation system to investigate the operating characteristics of an alternative refrigerant. The performance characteristics of a cooling system adopting R236fa as an alternative refrigerant were experimentally determined by varying the refrigerant charging amount, expansion valve opening, and compressor rotation speed. The experimental results were analyzed and compared with those of a cooling system adopting R124 as a refrigerant. The possibility of the adoption of R236fa as an alternative refrigerant was verified, and design solutions were suggested to improve the system efficiency.
