초록

본 연구에서는 공랭식 VI(Vapour-Injection) 사이클을 적용한 R410A용 고성능 하절기 냉방 열펌프의 성능 특성을 실험적으로 규명하였다. 실험에 사용한 장치는 VI 압축기, 응축기, 유분리기, 판형열교환기, 에코노마이져(economizer), 증발기, 그리고 재냉기(re-cooler)로 구성하였다. 냉방 성능 실험 조건은 다음과 같이 3가지 사이클로 VI 사이클을 적용하고 증발기 출구 냉매와 VI사이클 흡입 냉매가 재냉기에서 서로 열교환 하지 않는 사이클(사이클 A)과 열교환을 하는 사이클(사이클 B), 그리고 VI 사이클도 적용하지 않고 증발기 출구 냉매와 VI 사이클 흡입 냉매와의 열교환도 없는 사이클(사이클 C)로 구분하였다. 분석 결과, 냉방 성능은 증발기 출구 냉매와 VI사이클 흡입 냉매가 서로 열교환하는 VI사이클(사이클 B)이 가장 높았으며 VI사이클을 적용하지 않은 사이클 C가 가장 낮음을 알 수 있었으며, 사이클B의 냉방성능계수($COP_C$)가 평균 3.5로 사이클A보다 8.6%, 사이클C보다 33% 높은 값을 나타내었다.

In this study, we experimentally investigate the performance characteristics of a high-performance summer-cooling heat pump for an R410A by applying an air-cooled-type vapor-injection (VI) cycle. The devices used for the experiment consist of a VI compressor, condenser, oil separator, plate-type heat-exchanger, economizer, evaporator, and re-cooler. The experimental conditions employed for the cooling performance were divided into three cycles. First, in Cycle A, we apply a VI cycle and with no heat exchange between the evaporator outlet refrigerant and the VI cycle suction refrigerant in the re-cooler. For Cycle B, there is heat exchange, and for Cycle C, there is neither a VI cycle nor heat exchange between the evaporator outlet refrigerant and the VI cycle suction refrigerant. From the analysis results, we observe that the performance was highest in the VI cycle with heat exchange between the evaporator outlet refrigerant and the VI cycle suction refrigerant (Cycle B), while it was lowest in Cycle C without application of the VI cycle. Moreover, the cooling coefficient of Performance ($COP_C$) averaged 3.5 in Cycle B, which was 8.6% higher than the corresponding value in Cycle A, and 33% higher than that in Cycle C.
