This research describes the application of hydrocarbon refrigerants for heat pump system which is needed for fish farm. Tested refrigerants are HCFC-22 and hydrocarbon refrigerants(CARE 50 and ASR-20). CARE 50 is mixture of R-290 and R-170, and ASR-20 is mixture of R-152a, R-290 and other additives. Heat pump consist of shell and tube heat exchanger, scroll compressor, expansion valve and accumulator. Manual expansion valve is used for testing of wide range evaporating temperature. Hydrocarbon refrigerants show a good performance as an alternative for HCFC-22 in the range of evaporating temperature from $-6^{\circ}C$ to $6^{\circ}C$.

Nowadays, demands on super low temperature condition for industrial and commercial uses are thriving. Considering of its wide application in the present and the future, study of the super-low temperature refrigeration system should be actively carried out. This study is aimed to investigate refrigeration capacity and coefficient of performance(COP) of the cascade refrigeration system, as well as to get the system which can reach evaporator temperature of $-70^{\circ}C$. For this purpose, R290 and R170 are charged in high stage and low stage respectively. Finally the characteristics of system using R290 and R170 will be proposed. Additionally, In this experiment, the flow rate of air flowing through the LS evaporator and the compressor inlet pressure were varied to investigate the refrigeration capacity and coefficient of performance characteristics.

본 연구에서는 난방운전시 저온 및 착상 조건에서 히트펌프 칠러의 성능을 조사하고자 하였다. 실험은 항온항습 기능을 가진 공기엔탈피 방식의 칼로리미터와 항온수조를 사용하여 수행되었으며, 실외온도조건을 설정한 후에 히트펌프 칠러의 성능을 실험으로 측정하였다. 외기조건이 $-7^{\circ}C$에서 $-15^{\circ}C$까지 변화함에 따라 시스템의 성능과 COP는 표준온도 조건의 실험값 보다 약 48~87%까지 감소하였다. 착상 실험에서는 시간 변화에 따라 출구수온이 표준온도를 기준으로 74% 감소하였다. 본 연구로부터 히트펌프 칠러의 설계 기초자료 획득 및 신뢰성을 확인할 수 있었다.

Air shift type heat pump is combined heat recovery ventilator and refrigerator, and it is installed an air shifter changing air flow. And so it is an perfect AHU(Air Handling Unit) capable to cooling, heating, ventilation and heat recovery. Therefore, an experimental study has been carried out to investigate the operating performance in winter for this system. An experimental data are room temperature, inlet/outlet temperature of condenser, evaporator and heat exchanger. They have been measured as the variation of outdoor temperature. The results, in case of rising above freezing, the air shift type heat pump system is operated normally, and the heating COP is 3.0~4.2 by varying outdoor temperature from $-3^{\circ}C$ to $15^{\circ}C$.

Heat pump drying has a great potential for energy saving due to its high energy efficiency in comparison to conventional air drying. The heat pump dryer is usually operated at the temperature less than $50^{\circ}C$ and the drying temperature is limited to the operating temperature of the heat pump system. In order to increase the drying temperature, the special box-type heat pump dryer has been developed. The dryer uses the two-cycle heat pump system which has the two heat pump cycles for high and low temperature heating. The high temperature cycle uses the refrigerant 124 to get the temperature greater than $80^{\circ}C$ and the low temperature cycle uses the refrigerant 134a. The drying experiment has been carried out to figure out the performance of the dryer with the selected drying material.

Performance of a small-capacity solar absorption cooling system was investigated experimentally. Ten sets of evacuative-tube solar-heat collectors and a 5 kW single-stage absorption cooler were combined to produce a hybrid cooling system. The performance of the cooling system was measured using a tim-coil unit installed in a small plastic storage. It was found from the test on a sunny day of May that when the temperature of the hot water supplied from the solar collectors to the generator of the absorption cooler reached $60^{\circ}C$, the absorption cooler started cooling and the cold water temperature measured from the fan-coil unit reached $18^{\circ}C$. The COP, which is defined as the ratio of the cooling power to the total electrical power input was higher than 1.0.

To analyze and verify the effect of replacing thermal storage heater by a cascade cycle heat pump using midnight electricity was installed and tested at a customer's house in Wonju, Korea. The electric night storage heater is consist of 30kW electric heater and 2,700 liters of thermal storage water tank to supply hot water for warming house floor. The power for electric heater was cut off and hot water was only generated by cascade cycle heat pump. Current thermal storage water tank was not eliminated and electric heater wiring was modified. Some operation logic of the heat pump was also modified for proper operation. The required capacity of the heat pump and hot water temperature for given warming condition were estimated. The estimated capacity of heat pump was about 19kW and estimated hot water temperature for proper heating was at least $75^{\circ}C$.

An adsorption chiller is connected to the fuel processing/fuel cell system to increase the energy efficiency of the system. Since, the minimum temperature of $70^{\circ}C$ is needed to operate the adsorption chiller, HT-PEMFC is used as a heating source and $80^{\circ}C$ hot water in the water tank at the system is supplied to the chiller. Experimentally measured COP of the adsorption chiller was between 0.4-0.5 and the total calcuated efficiency of the connected system was between 60% and 70% comparing to 47% without adsorption chilling system.

Since the cooling performance of a $CO_2$ cooling cycle is varied significantly with a variation of refrigerant charge amount and outdoor temperature, the reliability of $CO_2$ system is down. In this study, the performance characteristics of three kinds of $CO_2$ systems were measured and analyzed by varying refrigerant charge amount and outdoor temperature so as to study the characteristics of variation with cycle option. The applied system options are the single-stage compression(1C-1E) system, two-stage compression with 1-EEV(2C-1E) system, and two-stage compression with 2-EEV(2C-2E) system. The performances of two-stage compression with 2-EEV system were less sensitive than those of other systems and the system operated safely and steadily for wide charge amount. The performance of the two-stage compression with 1-EEV(2C-1E) system was the most sensitive to the charge amount, and that of the single-stage compression(1C-1E) system varied a lot with outdoor temperature.

Heat pump systems are recognized to be heating and cooing systems. In this study, to check the practical application possibility of heat pump systems as low temperature storage systems and get basic data, apples of a long term storage items were stored and performance of low temperature storage and quality changes of apples were evaluated. Cooling coefficient of performance of the system was from 1.1 to 1.3. Although ambient air temperature varied widely from $-13^{\circ}C$ to $29.6^{\circ}C$ during low temperature storage period from January to June, the average temperature of low temperature storage chamber was $1.1^{\circ}C$ at setting temperature of $1.5^{\circ}C$. Sucrose of apples stored by the heat pump decreased from initial sucrose of 15.4% (Brix number) to final sucrose of 14.3%. Weight loss ratio of apples was 9.7% and internal and external view of apples after low temperature storage were very satisfactory with the naked eye.
