Abstract

All evacuated tube collector is being constantly studied since it can reduce the conductive heat loss in absorber by using vacuum technology and has advantage of heat transport capacity and quick thermal response in comparatively small temperature difference. This study investigated the dynamic thermal performance of the solar collector with the control condition of solar irradiance and fluid temperature by using performance experimental apparatus which is combined with solar collector and refrigerator, examined the thermal characteristics in definite temperature range of fluid in constant temperature tank by simultaneously measuring refrigerating performance. As a result of it, I deducted the related equation of collector efficiency and found that mean collector efficiency has increased through quick heat transfer characteristics according to increase of outdoor temperature and irradiance in case of outlet temperature of constant temperature tank $22^{\circ}C$ when set outlet temperature of solar collector $25^{\circ}C$ with outlet temperature of constant temperature tank $18^{\circ}C$ & $22^{\circ}C$. Also COP of refrigerator was acquired value of 6.2~7.1 at outlet temperature of constant temperature tank $18^{\circ}C$.

이중진공관형 집열기는 진공기술을 이용하여 흡수면에서 대류열손실을 줄일 수 있으며, 비교적 적은 온도차에서도 열수송능력과 열응답성이 빠른 이점이 있어 유용한 기기로 연구가 지속적으로 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 태양열 집열기와 냉동기가 조합한 성능실험장치를 이용하여 태양열의 일사량, 유체온도의 제어조건에 따른 집열기의 동적 열성능을 파악하고, 이에 따른 항온조를 이용한 유체의 일정한 온도범위에서 냉동성능을 동시에 측정하여 열역학적 특성을 고찰하였다. 그 결과로서 집열효율의 관계식을 도출하였으며, 항온조의 출구온도 $18^{\circ}C$와 $22^{\circ}C$에서 집열기의 출구온도 $25^{\circ}C$로 설정하였을 때 항온조의 출구온도 $22^{\circ}C$ 경우가 외기온도 및 일사량이 증가함으로써 빠른 열전달특성을 보여 평균집열효율이 상승됨을 보였다. 또한 항온조의 출구온도 $18^{\circ}C$에서 냉동기의 성능계수는 6.2~7.1 정도의 결과를 얻게 되었다.
