In order to investigate the heating performance of multi-heat pump applying an inverter compressor, the experiment on heat pump with 3 indoor units was performed under the heating standard and heating low-temperature conditions. The performance data of heat pump with 3 indoor units were measured by the multi-psychrometric calorimeter. The operation characteristics and the behavior of the refrigerant cycle of the heat pump with 3 indoor units were understood from the heating capacity, heating COP, and P-h diagram by indoor-unit combination. The present experimental results show that the operating load and performance of the multi-heat pump depends on the indoor-unit combination. The heating capacity and heating COP of the low temperature condition were smaller than those of the standard one. Also the refrigerant cycles on indoor-unit combination were analyzed by using P-h diagram.

Identification of a steady state is the first step in developing a fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) system of a heat pump. In a complete FDD system, the steady-state detector will be included as a module in a self-learning algorithm, which enables the working system's reference model to "tune" itself to its particular installation. In this study, a steady-state detector of a residential air conditioner based on moving windows was designed. Seven representative measurements were selected as key features for steady-state detection. The optimized moving-window size and the feature thresholds were decided on the basis of a startup-transient test and no-fault steady-state test. Performance of the steady-state detector was verified during an indoor load-change test. In this study, a general methodology for designing a moving-window steady-state detector for applications involving vapor compression has been established.

Owing to the harmful environmental effects of HCFC and CFC refrigerants discovered in the late 20th century, the need for environmentally friendly refrigerants such as $CO_2$ in cooling systems has increased. Air-source $CO_2$ heat pumps that utilize ambient heat in cold winter are less efficient because of a higher evaporation temperature, and it is difficult to manufacture the components of the heat pump owing to a super critical pressure of over 130 bar. This research aims to overcome these disadvantages and improve energy efficiency by introducing a new lower-pressure $CO_2$ auto-cascade heat pump system. $CO_2$-R32 zeotropic refrigerants were considered for two-stage expansion and effective cooling heat exchanging system configurations of the new auto-cascade heat pump. The results indicated that the efficiency of the two-stage expansion system was higher than that of the original one-stage expansion system. Furthermore, the two-stage expansion system showed significant performance improvements when the two-stage expansion stage from highest pressure of 70bar, intermediate expansion pressure of 25bar, and final low pressure of 10bar is applied. The COP of the new two-stage auto-cascade system (2.332) was 43.15% higher than that of the present simple auto-cascade system (1.629). Refrigerants having an evaporation temperature of $-10^{\circ}C$ or lower can be obtained that can be easily evaporated in an evaporator even at a low temperature.

The present study has been conducted variable refrigerant flow system applied building. Multi air-conditioning system has some benefits : easier building management and maintenance and energy saving. Recently, the system heat pump has been employed in medium-sized and tall buildings. However, the performance data and design method for system heat pump are limited in literature due to complicated system parameters and operating conditions. In the present study, case study of a system heat pump applied various building. The aim of this paper is to application multi air-conditioners and to inform the benefits of multi air-conditioners.

Experimental study on the operating characteristics of a solar hybrid heat pump system according to indoor setting temperature were carried out during spring and winter season. The system was consisted of a concentric evacuated tube solar collector, heat medium tank, heat storage tank, and heat pump. As a result, the heating load was increased by 21.1% when the indoor setting temperature rose by 2oC for the same ambient temperature. Besides, the spring season had good outdoor conditions compared to the winter season, therefore the heating load was reduced and heat gain by collector increased, relatively. In case of the winter season, the solar fraction was shown less than 10% because the heat losses of system and space increased considerably. The solar fraction decreased significantly as the indoor setting temperature increased.

유출지하수는 지하공간이 깊고 넓게 분포하는 건물에서 자연적으로 유출되어 배출되는 낮은 심도의 지하수이다. 본 연구에서는 신축된 교회건물에서 유출되는 지하수를 열원으로 밀폐형태와 개방형태의 열교환기를 활용하여 각각 5RT급 히트펌프시스템을 난방모드로 운전한 결과를 정리하였다. 실험은 난방순환수의 온도를 $43{\sim}49$ $^{\cdot}C$ 범위에서 제어하면서 진행하였으며, 시스템 COP에 있어서 밀폐형은 $4.12{\sim}4.75$, 개방형은 $3.42{\sim}3.98$의 범위에서 측정되었다. 이는 기존의 지열히트펌프시스템의 COP와 대동 소이한 우수한 성능이라고 판단된다. 또한 펌프동력을 제외한 히트펌프 자체 난방COP에 있어서 밀폐형은 $4.69{\sim}5.81$, 개방형은 $4.38{\sim}5.43$의 범위에서 나타났다. 유출지하수의 온도가 겨울철에도 약 $12{\sim}14^{\cdot}C$를 유지하므로 히트펌프와 시스템전체의 COP가 매우 우수한 값을 나타내고 있음이 확인되었다.

Study on the performance characteristics of the solar hybrid system with heat pump operating temperature during winter season has performed by using an experimental test. The system performance and operating characteristics with the heat pump operating temperature, hour and load condition were investigated and analyzed. As a result, the hot water temperature was significantly affected by the heat pump operating temperature at the morning(time 1) and noon(time 2). However, hot water temperature was set by the radiation quality and collecting operation hour at the afternoon(time 3). In addition to the solar fraction was decreased for the high heat pump operating temperature because the heat pump operated with a long operating time and short operating period.
