Numerical modeling of $CO_2$ water heater was conducted prior to optimal design of medium and large sized $CO_2$ water heater, and the experimental test with small sized $CO_2$ water heater having heat capacity of 4 kW was completed to verify the present numerical model. The present model estimated the experimental data of COP(coefficient of performance), heating capacity, and the hot water outlet temperature within the range of 3% to 8% of mean deviation. As increase of EEV(electric expansion valve) opening area, decreasing of heating capacity and the hot water outlet temperature, and increasing of COP were found in both experimental and numerical investigation.

Middle-sized $CO_2$ water heater having compressor power of 7.45 kW was designed, and its performances were experimentally tested. Besides, optimum design of the $CO_2$ water heater was conducted by cycle simulation. When ambient temperature of $7^{\circ}C$ and hot water outlet temperature of $80^{\circ}C$ the $CO_2$ water heater showed the COP of 3.2. As hot water temperature increased the COP is getting decreased due to significant increase of compressor power consumption compared to increasing rate of heating capacity. When ambient temperature increased from $-3^{\circ}C$ to $12^{\circ}C$ the COP increased by 30%. The optimum components design of a gas cooler, an internal heat exchanger, and an evaporator were conducted, and the experimental correlation between amount of EEV opening and ambient temperature, and hot water temperature was suggested.

In this study, the steady state performance of a $CO_2$ heat pump water heater was measured with a variation of operating conditions such as refrigerant charge amount, compressor frequency, EEV opening, and water mass flow rate. Transient state performance tests were also conducted to investigate major system effects associated with the interaction between the $CO_2$ heat pump water heater and the water tank. Optimum refrigerant charge amount for the system was 1600 g. At compressor frequencies of 50 Hz and 60 Hz, water mass flow rates of 95 kg/h and 105 kg/h, and EEV opening of 8% and 16%, the water heating temperatures were $65^{\circ}C$ and $68^{\circ}C$ and COPs were 3.0 and 2.8, respectively. In the transient condition, the instantaneous COP decreased with an increase in the inlet water temperature.

본 연구에서는 길이 4.5 m와 7.5 m의 다중관 $CO_2$ 급탕 열교환기의 열전달 및 압력강하 특성을 ${\epsilon}-NTU$ 방법을 사용하여 해석하고 결과를 기존의 실험 데이터와 비교하였다. 급탕 열교환기는 쉘측에 물이 흐르고 8개로 구성된 내부 튜브에 $CO_2$를 흐르게 하였으며 열전달 효율을 최대화하기 위하여 대향류로 설계하였다. 각 노드에 대한 물과 $CO_2$ 냉매의 유동에 대한 에너지 평형 방정식은 단면분할법을 이용하여 해석하였다. 열전달율 계산값은 실험값과 ${\pm}5%$ 범위 내에서 잘 일치하였다. 반면에 물의 출구온도는 물 유량이 증가함에 따라 거의 선형적으로 감소하며 계산값과 실험값은 ${\pm}3%$ 내에서 일치하였다. 결과에서 열전달율은 4.5 m와 7.5 m 급탕 열교환기 모두 물 유량 또는 $CO_2$ 입구온도가 증가함에 따라 거의 선형적으로 증가하였으며, 반면에 물 유량이 증가함에 따라 물의 출구온도는 선형적으로 감소하였다. $CO_2$ 압력강하 계산값과 실험값은 $CO_2$가 고유량일 때 5 % 내에서 잘 일치한 반면에 $CO_2$가 저유량일 때 실험값이 약 20 % 높게 나타났다.

The performance of a $CO_2$ heat pump water heater was measured with a variation of operating conditions such as refrigerant charge amount, outdoor temperature, compressor frequency, EEV opening, and water mass flow rate. The optimum refrigerant charge amount of the $CO_2$ system was 1800 g. At water mass flow rates of 75, 85, and 95 kg/h, the water heating temperatures were 74, 67, and $62^{\circ}C$ and COPs were 2.6, 2.8, and 3.0, respectively. Besides, the compressor frequency and water mass flow rate were adjusted to maintain the water heating temperature at $60^{\circ}C$ with the decrease of outdoor temperature. As the outdoor temperature decreased by $5^{\circ}C$, the compressor frequency increased beyond 60 Hz and the water mass flow rate decreased by 16.7%.

This study is concerned with the emission characteristics of kerosene fan heater, which is burned with kerosene and water droplets simultaneously in the burner, in order to prohibit the emissions of harmful exhaust gas and reduce smell caused by incomplete combustion, and the addition of water droplets to the conventional kerosene fan heater was performed by ultrasonic atomizer. For the investigation of this study, the measurement of exhaust gas components and exhaust gas temperature was carried out by using an automatic combustion gas analyser and $NO_x$ analyser, and the measurement of consumption weight of oil and water was obtained by using electric digital balance. Consequently, according as the water percent weight ratio of about $21{\sim}23%$ was supplied for this study, it was found that the combustion-generated $NO_x$ and CO emissions were reduced very largely, but the emissions of $O_2\;and\;CO_2$ and the temperature of exhaust gas were not changed.

In this study, experimental study on the heating performance of a $CO_2$ heat pump water heater with a variation of operating conditions such as refrigerant charge amount, outdoor temperature, compressor frequency, EEV opening and water mass flow rate. Based on the test results, the optimum charge amount was 1800 g. At the water mass flow rates of 75, 85, 95 kg/hr, the water heating temperature was 62, 67, $74^{\circ}C$ and COP was 2.6, 2.8, 3.0, respectively. Besides, the water mass flow rate and compressor frequency were varied to maintain above the water heating temperature of $60^{\circ}C$ with the decrease of outdoor temperature. So, The compressor frequency increased beyond 65 Hz and the water mass flow rate was 45 kg/hr at the outdoor temperature of $-13^{\circ}C$, 65 kg/hr at $-8^{\circ}C$, 75 kg/hr at $-3^{\circ}C$ and 85 kg/hr at 2, $7^{\circ}C$. As the outdoor temperature decreased, the heating COP decreased by 2.5-39.8%.

A parametric study on the scroll wrap configuration factors of a $CO_2$scroll compressor for heat pump water heater has been carried out. Since there are 7 scroll wrap design parameters and 5 equations relating them, two of the design parameters can be selected as independent parameters. In this study, the wrap thickness and orbiting radius are chosen as independent ones. Computer simulation program has been used to estimate the compressor performance at various combinations of the scroll wrap design parameters. It has been found that there exists optimum combination of the wrap parameters for the highest compressor performance over analyzed ranges of the design parameters.

Numerical simulations for scroll, two-stage twin rotary, and two-cylinder reciprocating compressors have been carried out to understand the effectiveness of each type compressor for heat pump water heater application using $CO_2$ as refrigerant. For suction pressure of 3.5 MPa and discharge pressure of 9 MPa, clearance volume ratio of the reciprocating compressor needs to be about 5% or less to have the volumetric efficiency comparable to that of the scroll compressor with tip clearance of $5\;{\mu}m$. Volumetric efficiency of the scroll compressor is quite sensitive to tip clearance. Adiabatic efficiency of the twin rotary compressor was calculated to be the lowest among the three types, and the most severe drawback of the $CO_2$ scroll compressor was a significant increase in the mechanical loss at the thrust surface supporting the orbiting scroll member. While the scroll compressor showed very smooth torque load variation, peak-to-peak torque variations of the twin rotary and two-cylinder reciprocating compressors were about 50% and 250%, respectively.

복합화력발전소 에너지절감 사업으로 폐열회수용 흡수식 히트펌프가 설치됨에 따라 부분부하(Partial Load)에서의 성능 데이터 확인을 위해 성능시험을 실시하였다. 부분 부하에서 히트펌프 가동에 따른 운전 데이터 변화는 다음과 같다. 기기냉각수(CCW) 배열 및 배열회수열교환기(HRSG)로부터 공급되는 저압증기(LP STM)의 일부가 히트펌프의 열원으로 공급되므로 지역난방열 생산이 증대된다. 그러나 증기터빈으로 공급되는 저압증기의 유량감소에 따라 증기터빈 출력이 감소된다. 또한 고압 지역난방열교환기(HP-DH) 및 저압 지역난방열교환기(LP-DH)로 공급되는 고압터빈(HPT) 배기증기의 유량 저하에 따라 HP-DH 및 LP-DH의 열생산량도 감소한다. 부분부하에서는 정격부하 대비 히트펌프에 운전에 따른 터빈 출력 저하가 큰 것으로 나타났으며, 이에 따라 부분 부하에서는 발전소 전체의 열 생산 증가량, 전기출력 감소량을 종합적으로 고려하여 히트펌프 운전 여부를 결정해야 한다.
