An experimental study has been performed to investigate the correlation on compressor discharge temperature of capacity modulated system A/C in cooling mode. Indoor and outdoor temperatures, the cooling capacity, compressor discharge temperature and loading time are measured by the psychrometric calorimeter. The system is controlled by applying the scroll compressor operated by PWM valve and loading duty. With decreasing outdoor temperature, the cooling capacity increases. But, with decreasing indoor temperature, it decreases. According to the increase in outdoor temperature and loading duty, compressor discharge temperature increases. From these experimental data, the correlation on compressor discharge temperature is proposed. The correlation obtained from the present study is agreed with the experimental data within $3^{\circ}C$.

In commercial areas, outdoor units are typically installed close to one another in the narrow space between buildings due to insufficient regulations. This makes it difficult to ventilate the discharge airflow, which may lead to deterioration of the performance of outdoor units. This study conducted CFD simulation to analyze the thermal environment according to the installation distance of the outdoor unit. The outdoor unit was installed in the space between buildings, and the thermal environment was analyzed by changing installation distance and wind speed. The performance of the outdoor unit was evaluated by measuring the on-coil temperature. The results show that the closer the distance between outdoor units, the higher the condenser on-coil temperature. Also, the on-coil temperature appeared to rise dramatically at lower wind speed.

Interest in heat pumps is increasing as an eco-friendly and energy-saving heating method. In particular, in order to develop a heat pump capable of heating in a low-temperature area, research to prevent frost on the surface of the outdoor unit is increasing. In other words, when heating through a heat pump in a low-temperature area, a frost layer is formed on the surface of the outdoor unit, which lowers the heat transfer performance, thereby reducing the heating capacity. Therefore, in this study, an adsorption-type dehumidification system is attached to remove the moisture vapor of the air into the outdoor unit of the heat pump. It is believed that this study can suggest the most effective dehumidification method in low temperature regions. In addition, it is expected that a heat pump with high energy efficiency can be developed by attaching an adsorption dehumidifying system to the front of the outdoor unit of the heat pump.

A lot of research is being done to develop a high-efficiency heat pump to save energy, and research to reduce or eliminate the phenomenon of frost occurring in the outdoor unit coil is also being conducted at the same time. A curved constant temperature chamber was constructed that can be tested under the same conditions as in the natural state so that the research can be conducted in which frost does not occur on the outdoor unit of the heat pump regardless of the season. Simulations were performed to verity whether such a curved constant temperature chamber has feasibility as an experimental device. For CFD conditions, the length of the straight duct in front of the outdoor unit located in the duct-type constant temperature chamber was 1, 5, 10 and 15 times the diameter of the duct. As a result, it was found that a straight space must be secured 10 times the diameter of the duct.

In order to save energy, a lot of research has been conducted to develop a high-efficiency heat pump. Research to reduce or eliminate the occurrence of frost in the outdoor unit coil is also being conducted at the same time. A constant temperature chamber was constructed that allows experimentation under the same conditions as in the natural state so that frost does not occur in the outdoor unit of the heat pump regardless of the season. In order to verify the validity of the experimental apparatus, a simulation was conducted by dividing the straight length of the duct in front of the outdoor unit in the constant temperature chamber, which is the experimental apparatus, into three conditions. As a result, it was found that a straight space must be secured 10 times the diameter of the duct.

통신기기실은 겨울철에도 냉방이 이루어질 만큼 열이 많이 발생하는 공간으로, 다수의 특수형 공조기가 설치되어 운용되고 있는데, 여기서 발생된 열은 열교환을 통하여 실외 기에서 그냥 외부로 버려지고 있다. 이 열은 겨울철에 사무실 난방과 온수공급에 필요한 적당한 온도와 풍부한 열량을 가지고 있어 그동안 활용 방법을 많이 모색해 왔으나, 시도되었던 제품이나 방법은 현실성이 떨어지거나 제품화 되지 못하고 있는 실정이었다. 이에, KT인프라연구소에서는 현실성 있는 제안으로 실외기로 가는 고온 고압의 냉매를 인접 사무실로 자동 전환시켜 난방을 가능케 하는 Package Type의 응축열 난방기를 개발하였는데, 본 논문에서는 이에 대한 개발과정과 Spec을 소개하고, 철저한 성능검증과 에너지 절감 효과 분석 결과를 제시하여 사업 적용에 필요한 기초자료로 활용 할 수 있도록 하였다. 개발된 응축열 난방기는 에너지를 대폭 절감할 수 있을 뿐 아니라 지구 온난화의 주범인 $CO_2$를 감축시킬 수 있어 대외 이미지 개선에도 크게 기여할 것이라고 생각된다.

This study experimentally investigates the performance improvement of the heat pump by adopting the hot gas bypass method and using the internal heat exchanger according to the automatic defrost test conditions of ISO 5151 This study compares the hot gas bypass method with the time step method, and investigates effect on outdoor coil fan speed when the hot gas of compressor outlet enter outdoor coil inlet after the frost formation. The tests were made for the fan speeds of the outdoor coil controlled at 90, 60 and 30% of the normal speed together with the case of the stationary fan. The performance of the heat pump is evaluated by variables such as COP, heat capacity, and the average COP during the 210 minutes heating mode. Results show that average COP of the hot gas bypass mettled is $2.2{\sim}6%$ higher than that of the time step method. When the outdoor coil fan speed is 60% (780 rpm) of the normal speed, it shows the best COP and heating capacity.

Spread of household air conditioning system is continued to be increased. Axial fan in the external unit of air conditioning system is for ventilation and air supplying unit, and the related products have been widely adopted as household electronics, automobile engine, big sized blower in factory, tunnel, and subway. In this study, commercial 3-winged propeller fan is modified to shape and modified to 2-winged fan for the airflow increase and cost reduction. Using 3D modelling, the fan shape is modified, and analysis flow is adopted to provide the way to airflow increase and reduce cost while maintaining the same wind capacity.
