Abstract

A lot of research is being done to develop a high-efficiency heat pump to save energy, and research to reduce or eliminate the phenomenon of frost occurring in the outdoor unit coil is also being conducted at the same time. In order to conduct a study that does not cause frost on the outdoor unit of the heat pump regardless of the season, a constant temperature chamber like a general room that can be tested under the same conditions as in the natural state was built. The experiment was conducted by providing an environment similar to the natural state to the outdoor unit of the heat pump installed in the constant temperature chamber. As a result, the lower the outdoor temperature, the lower the efficiency of the heat pump. It wat confirmed that the lower the value, the longer it is.

에너지를 절약하기 위해 고효율 히트펌프를 개발하기 위한 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있으며, 실외기 코일에 발생하는 서리가 발생하는 현상을 줄이거나 없애기 위한 연구도 동시에 이루어지고 있다. 계절과 관계없이 히트펌프의 실외기에 서리가 발생하지 않는 연구를 진행할 수 있도록 자연 상태와 동일한 조건에서 실험할 수 있는 항온챔버를 구축하였다. 항온챔버 내에 설치된 히트펌프의 실외기에 자연 상태와 같은 환경을 제공하여 실험하였으며, 그 결과 외기온도가 낮을수록 히트펌프의 효율은 낮으며, 히트펌프 시스템의 운전이 안정화 상태에 도달하는 시간은 외기온도가 낮을수록 길어지는 것을 확인하였다.
