The Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) is used for cabin air heating of a battery electric vehicle, which is different from conventional vehicles. Since the PTC heater consumes a large quantity of power in a parasitic manner, many valuable studies have been reported in the field of alternative heat pumps. In this study, a model for an R134a heat pump taking into account the thermal environment of the cabin was developed for a MATLAB/SIMULINK(R) platform. Component and cabin models are validated with reference values. Results show that the heat pump is more competitive for parasitic power consumption over all ambient temperature conditions. Additionally, the method of waste heat recovery to overcome disadvantages when temperatures are below zero is applied to efficiently operate the heat pump.

현대의 지속적인 기술개발과 산업발전은 삶의 질을 향상시키는 긍정적인 시각이 있는 반면 심각한 환경문제를 안고 있다. 자동차 공조기술도 지구 환경보호라는 거대한 과제와 탑승자의 쾌적성 만족이라는 두 가지 다른 관점을 동시에 충족시켜야 하는 과제를 가지고 있으며, 이 분야 산업에 전문적인 지식으로 공조 열량계 운용에 대한 경험이 대학 교육과정에서도 강조되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 대학 교육과정 특성상 장비의 활용성, 경제성, 장비설치 및 취급의 용이성 등을 고려하여 교육용으로 적합한 간이 열량계를 제작하였다. 교육 및 연구용으로 제작한 간이 열량계의 타당성을 확인하기위해 현재 가장 많이 쓰이고 있는 R134a 자동차용 냉방시스템을 구성하여 압축기 회전속도, 실내 풍량, 냉매 충전량 등을 변수로 하여 열교환기 냉방성능을 평가한 후 비교하여 교육용 열량계의 유용성을 확인하였다.

The air-side particulate fouling in the heat exchangers of HVAC applications degrades the performance of cooling capacity, pressure drop across a heat exchanger, and indoor air quality. Indoor and outdoor air contaminants foul heat exchangers. The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics of the air-side particulate fouling materials in finned-tube heat exchangers of air conditioners. Air conditioners being used in the field such as inns, restaurants, and offices are collected in chronological order in use. Typical fouling materials on the heat exchangers include fibers and dusts ranged from 6.6 to 20.9 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in mass median diameter.

지열 냉난방 시스템의 설계는 냉난방 공간의 크기에 따라 필요한 부하를 계산하여 설계하게된 다. 설계 부하를 충분히 소화할 수 있는 지열교환기의 길이와 보어홀의 깊이 및 개수는 지반의 열적 특성에 크게 좌우된다. 열전도율이 큰 지반일수록 지열교환기 내의 열 흡수 및 소산이 효과적으로 이루어져 지열교환기의 길이도 상대적으로 짧아질 수 있다. 즉, 효율적이고 정확한 설계를 하기 위해서는 지반, 암반 및 지중열교환기의 물리적 특성에 따른 열적 특성을 설계자는 미리 숙지하여야 한다. 현재 국내에서 수직 밀폐형 지중열교환기의 그라우트로 벤토나이트를 가장 많이 사용하고 있으나, 해외의 경우 지중 조건에 따라 시멘트 또는 벤토나이트를 적절히 선택하여 시공하고 있다. 이는 벤토나이트의 특성상 적용 조건이 제약을 받기 때문이며, 특히 지하수가 존재하지 않을 경우 사용이 사실상 불가능하다. 국내에서 이에 대한 충분한 연구는 아직 이루어지지 않았으며, 시멘트 그라우트를 사용하기 위한 물리적, 열적 특성에 대한 연구가 필요한 시점이라 판단하여 본 연구를 수행하였다. 시멘트 그라우트의 경우 수화반응이 일어나는 초기의 건조수축을 최소화하는 배합비로 물성을 구성하였으며, 벤토나이트는 일반 현장 시공 비율을 사용하였다. 열전도율은 첫째 실내 시험으로 시멘트 그라우트에 대한 열판시험법과 벤토나이트 그라우트에 대한 탐침시험법으로 수행하여 구하였으며, 두 번째 방법인 현장 시공으로 직접 현장열응답시험을 수행하여 그라우트 간의 열적 특성을 비교하였다. 또한 기존 시멘트그라우트의 열적 특성을 개량한 코오롱건설에서 개발한 시멘트 그라우트에 대한 열적 거동도 기존 타 그라우트의 열적 거동과 비교하였으며, 개발 제품의 성능이 상당히 우수함을 알 수 있었다.

The objectives of this paper are to study the effects of thermal and geometric conditions on the performance of indoor heat exchanger with R410A. This study carried out experimental and numerical analysis for indoor heat exchangers. In the experimental study, capacity of the indoor unit was estimated 8.3 kWh with the valve opening rate of 95% for the 50% partial operation condition. The air temperatures were measured using 80 thermocouples. This study also compared experimental data with the calculated data for the outlet temperature and the tube length. It is found that the relative errors between the experiment data and the calculated result are 4.2% and 0.5% for the outlet temperature and the tube length, respectively.

Heat recovery ventilators (HRV) are developed in order to satisfy both energy conservation and the improvement of indoor air quality as an alternative for current natural ventilation systems and local mechanical ventilation systems in kitchens and bathrooms. However, the performance of HRV system and the consequent effect on heating and cooling energy saving have not been sufficiently validated quantitatively in case of the application of HRVs in real residences. In this study, field measurement and computer simulation were conducted in both summer and winter period to assess the performance and validate energy conservation effect of HRVs. Under the Korea weather condition, average total heat recovery efficiency was $27\%$ in summer and $46\%$ in winter. According to the field measurement, HRV system can save the energy by $10\%$ in summer and 15$\%$ in winter. Furthermore, according to the simulation assessment, HRV system can save the energy by $17\%$ in summer and $17\%$ in winter.

The objectives of this paper are to study the effects of thermal and geometric conditions on the performance of indoor heat exchanger with R410A for Gas Engine Driven Heat Pump (GHP) application and to find optimum design conditions of indoor heat exchanger by parametric analysis for the key parameters. In the air side, moisture out of the humid air condenses on the fin surface while the refrigerant (R410A) boils inside the smooth tube. Therefore this study uses Log Mean Enthalpy Difference (LMHD) method to analyze the heat transfer from the humid air to the refrigerant of R410A. The results show that fin pitch and longitudinal pitch have significant effect on the heat exchanger preformance. This study will provide the guideline for optimum design of indoor heat exchanger with R410A for GHP application.

This study presented the feasibility of a coolant heat-source heat pump system as an alternative heating system for electrically driven vehicles. Heat pumps are among the most environmentally friendly and efficient heating technologies in residential buildings. In various countries, electric mobiles devices such as EV, PHEV, and FCEV, have been mainly concerned with heat pumps for new mobile markets. The experiments herein were conducted for various ambient temperatures and coolant temperatures to reflect the winter season. The system, a coolant heat-source heat pump, consisted of an inside heat exchanger, an outside heat exchanger, a motor driven compressor, an electronic expansion valve, and plumbing parts. For the experimental results, the maximum heating capacity and air discharge temperature are up to 6.3 kW and $62^{\circ}C$ respectively at an ambient temperature of $10^{\circ}C$, and coolant at $10^{\circ}C$. However, at $-20^{\circ}C$ ambient temperature and $-10^{\circ}C$ coolant temperature, conditions were insufficient to warm the cabin as the air discharge temperature was $13^{\circ}C$.

As modern houses are constructed with high-density and high-insulation, there is benefit to reduce energy consumption, but there are many side effects raised from polluted air. To solve the problem, a ventilation system is used to improve a indoor air quality. In this study, we tested the parallel flow type heat exchanger used in a heat exchanger of an automotive air conditioner. And we experimentally estimate ventilation performance of HRV(heat recovery ventilator) with heat-pipe according to working fluid filling quantity and ventilation. The working fluid was R22, which was filled from 40 to 60 (%vol.) by 10(%vol.). Ventilation based on the front velocity was measured from 0.3 m/s to 1.5 m/s by 0.3 m/s intervals. Refrigerant filling quantity with the highest efficiency was found to depend on the ventilation. From this study the optimal refrigerant filling quantity in accordance with the ventilation of the detachable heat pipes was found experimentally.
