기포 펌프는 물과 공기 사이의 접촉 면적을 증가시켜 공기로부터 물로의 산소 용해를 높이는 기능을 가지고 있다. 이 연구에서는 기포 펌프에서 여러 가지 흐름 패턴을 설정하고, 이것을 근거로 하여 슬립모델을 확립하여, 기포 펌프의 산소 용해 특성을 조사하였다. 이 연구에서 수행한 실험 결과로부터, 산소 전달 계수는 흐름 패턴(기포 흐름, 기포-슬러그 흐름, 슬러그 흐름)에는 상당한 영향을 받았으나, 시료수의 오염 정도에 따른 영향은 그다지 크지 않음을 확인하였다. 그리고, 산소 전달양은 레이놀즈 수에 비례하여 증가하며, 산소 전달면을 증가시키기 위해서는 에어 스톤이나 디퓨저의 이용이 매우 효과적임을 확인하였다. 또한, 표면 활성 물질은 물의 오염 정도나 흐름 패턴에 관계없이 산소 전달에 큰 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었다.

Experimental investigation has been carried out to examine the operating characteristics of a bubble pump for diffusion absorption refrigerator. The effects of heat input and delivery height on generation rate of refrigerant vapor and circulation rate of solution have been investigated. as a result heat input and delivery height increase, circulation rate of solution increases. And the smaller the tube diameter, the larger the circulation rate of solution. Pumping ratio increases to a critical point and then decrease with the increase of heat input, and it increases with the increase in delivery height. In this paper, Marcus's analytical theory was also examined. It was found that the Marcus\`s analytical theory of a bubble pump was not appropriate for a bubble pump using ammonia aqueous solution as a working fluid.

In this paper, study on performance analysis of bubble pump on the domestic solar water heater system is presented. Device of this experiment is consisted of bubble pump, solar collector and heat exchanger. At the mean time, this system have attached temperature sensors and pressure sensors at bubble pump. In addition, the flow meter was installed at outlet of heat exchanger. And then result of experimental study, average value of the heat exchange amount in heat exchanger was about 7.9kcal/hr, the maximum value of the heat amount in water tank($0.4m^3$) was 489.7kcal/hr and the maximum value of the mass flow rate in bubble pump was about $0.5{\ell}/min$.

An experimental investigation was carried out to study the performance of a bubble pump for the diffusion absorption refrigerating system. Ammonia was used as the refrigerant and the helium was charged in order to balance the pressure between the low and high pressure side. As experimental variables, the concentration of ammonia charged into system, heat input, and the pressure of helium were selected. Experimental results show that the generation rate of ammonia vapor and the circulation rate of diluted ammonia solution were increased as the heat input increases, but the ratio of the solution to vapor flow rate was decreased. The generation rate of refrigerant vapor and the circulation rate of diluted ammonia solution increased as the system pressure decreased. Finally under the condition of 25 bars, the concentration of rich ammonia solution was not affected by the generation rate of ammonia vapor and the circulation of diluted ammonia solution.

산업과 과학발달에 의해 더욱 물질적으로 풍요로워진 인류에게 에너지와 환경문제는 새로운 당면문제로 부각되고 있다. 특히 1992년 몬트리올 협정에서는 CFC 및 HCFC의 사용을 각각 1997과 2002년부터 전면 금지시키기로 하였고, 1997년에는 2008-2012년까지 전세계 온실가스 배출량을 5.2% 줄이는 것을 골자로 하는 교토 선언이 합의되었다. 이러한 상황을 타개하기 위한 많은 연구 중 흡수식 열펌프는 환경친화적인 자연냉매를 사용하는 열구동 시스템으로 다시 주목을 받고 있다. 특히 흡수식 열펌프의 구성요소 중 흡수에 의하여 고온의 열을 얻을 수 있는 흡수기에 효율적인 열·물질전달 모드를 적용함으로써 제품의 소형화와 에너지 손실 감소를 이루고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 새로운 흡수기 모드로 연구되고 있는 기포타입모드를 원통형 흡수기에 적용해 보고, 그 특성을 고찰해 보고자 하였다. 흡수기로 유입되는 ammonia gas와 용액을 cocurrnet 및 countercurrent로 흘려주었고, 높이에 따른 농도, 온도 및 압력을 측정·비교해 보았다.(중략)

Regarding the need of energy in advance and the depletion of fossil fuel energy, all researches around the world now are trying to extract energy from many alternative sources especially the renewable one. Solar, ocean tidal, wind and geothermal energy are renewable energy fields which many researches are focused on. This paper explains about effort to replace electric pump used in solar water heating system by bubble pump. The utilization of bubble pump in this system is very efficient since it needs heat energy for its operation that can be obtained easily. In addition, it can also simplify the construction of the system. Bubble pump also functions as a controller to circulate water inside the system. Before the installation of bubble pump, the special quality and performance of bubble pump should be analyzed. The result got from the analysis could show the fluctuation of water flow rate occurred because it sensitively reacts to the heat quantity. Here the heat quantity is taken from the solar that, as we know, is not stable in a whole day. Problems often occurred are the flow rate in this system is very low moreover it could be stop if the pressure exceeds the limit.

Air lift pump operated by buoyancy is mainly used for the continuous circulation and the purification of fluids. In this study, the computational flow analysis has been performed with the geometric and operating conditions of the air lift pump. The numerical data from the analysis have been verified by comparing with the previous experimental data. The following results are obtained which advance the efficiency of the air lift pump. As the submergence length of pipe increases and the pipe length over the water surface decreases, the non-dimensional mass flow ratio increases in both cases. When the position of the air injection hole is within the pipe, the circulation range of the surrounding fluid becomes widened with the distance between the air injection hole and the pipe inlet relatively becoming narrower. It is more efficient both when the air injection velocity is at 10 m/s and at 15 m/s, and when the diameter of the pipe with holes is doubled near the water surface. It is expected that these results can be provided as fundamental data for operating the air lift pump.
