본 연구에서는 공조용 실외기의 고효율화 및 소형화를 위해 응축기로 사용되고 있는 핀-관 열교환기를 동일한 전면면적의 PF 열교환기로 변경하여 성능변화 및 특성을 조사하였다. 이를 위해 3종의 PF 열교환기를 적용하여 공조기의 성능을 비교평가 하였다. 실험은 공기 엔탈피식 칼로리미터에서 공조기의 냉방능력과 소비전력을 측정하여 COP를 계산하였다. PF 열교환기를 적용한 경우에 핀-관 열교환기보다 냉방능력은 증가하고 소비전력은 감소하여 COP가 향상되었다. PF 열교환기의 핀 피치가 클수록 냉방능력과 COP는 감소하였다.

The transverse ventilation system, commonly applied to urban tunnel, is necessary to be distributed with airflow uniformly. In this study, we developed a program that can optimize the opening ratio of ports to ensure ventilation performance of design criteria through a uniform airflow distribution even though ventilation interval becomes longer. And program's prediction performance was verified by comparison with TUNVEN DUCT program. For comparison, Semi-transverse ventilation system was applied. Both programs predicted a similar port size and air flow distribution, and the variation range of the calculated values was 11.71% and 1.36%, respectively. This program is very useful for port optimization design of transverse and semi-transverse ventilation system, because it is possible to analyze various tunnel lengths and supply/exhaust port installation conditions.

PVT(Photovoltaic Thermal) 모듈은 태양광과 태양열 에너지를 동시 이용이 가능한 모듈로서 태양광전지(PV, Photovoltaic)모듈에 열교환기를 접합한 형태로 전기에너지뿐만 아니라 열에너지를 동시에 생산할 수 있는 시스템이다. 기존 PV 모듈은 일사량이 많으면 전력 생산량이 증가하는 동시에 PV모듈의 온도가 상승함에 따라 발전 효율이 감소하는 문제점이 있으며 일반적으로 $25^{\circ}C$이상 조건에서 모듈 온도가 $10^{\circ}C$ 증가할수록 발전효율의 약 4~5% 정도 감소하는 것으로 보고되고 있다. PVT 모듈은 기존 태양광모듈에 열교환기를 접합하여 냉각함으로써 PV모듈의 온도를 낮추어 발전효율을 증가시키는 동시에 부가적으로 발생하는 온수를 직접이용하거나 다양한 계통의 보조 열원으로 이용할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 수치해석기법(CFD)을 활용하여 PV모듈 냉각 및 온수 발생을 위한 열교환기를 설계하였으며 다양한 형상의 열교환기에 대해 유동해석을 수행하여 최적의 열흡수효율을 갖는 열교환기의 형상을 설계하였다. 또한 최적 설계된 PVT 모듈을 제작하여 실제 태양과 유사한 광원을 갖는 인공태양조건에서의 실내 실험을 통해 PVT 모듈의 성능을 검증하였으며 또한 실제 노상에 설치하여 ASHRAE 93-77의 실험기준과 ECN의 PVT 집열기 성능측정 가이드라인에 따라 옥외 시험평가를 하여 PVT 모듈의 성능 검증을 하였다. 최적 설계된 PVT모듈에 대한 성능평가 결과 기존 PV 모듈보다 발전효율이 약 15%(기존 발전효율 대비) 향상된 결과를 확인하였다.

Environmental measurements in the many different types of horticultural farms were carried out to evaluate the ventilation performance for multi-span plastic greenhouses according to the eaves height, the number of spans, the existence of side wall vents and the position of roof vents. Hydroponic tomatoes were being cultivated in all experimental greenhouses, and ventilation rates of the greenhouses were analyzed by the heat balance method. It showed that the ventilation rate in the greenhouse with 4 m eaves height increased about 22% compared to the greenhouse with 2 m eaves height. The ventilation rate in the greenhouse with 9 spans decreased about 17% compared to the greenhouse with 5 spans. In the greenhouse with 9 spans, if there were no side wall vents, the ventilation rate showed about a third of the case that side wall vents were open. Overall, as the eaves height was higher and the number of spans was smaller in multi-span greenhouses, the natural ventilation performance was better. And the ventilation performance was best in the greenhouse which the eaves height was high and the position of roof vents was ridge, not gutter. Therefore, in order to maximize the natural ventilation performance, multi-span plastic greenhouses need to improve their structures such as that make the eaves height higher, place the roof vents on the ridge, install the side wall vents as much as possible, and the number of spans is limited to about 10 spans.

In the present study, the cooling performance characteristics on environment changes of A/C applied fin-tube and PF heat exchangers were experimentally investigated. Capacity and COP on an air velocity, an indoor/outdoor temperature and an indoor/outdoor relative humidity were obtained. Fin types of PF heat exchanger were a triangler and squarer form. The experimental data for the three kinds of heat exchangers were measured using the air-enthalpy calorimeter. Performance of PF A/C was more excellent than that of a fin-tube A/C. Also, the performance of PF-2 A/C with the squarer fin was more excellent than that of PF-1 A/C with the triangler fin. As the air velocity, the indoor temperature and the indoor relative humidity increase, capacity and COP increase. And as outdoor temperature increases, capacity and COP decrease. But, the performance change on the outdoor relative humidity was insignificant.

In summer, the natural ventilation performance for varying greenhouse width is very important in the glasshouses for year round cultivation. The effect of the side openings and greenhouse width on natural ventilation performance was analyzed by simulation. The necessary ventilation rate with different solar radiation transmittance increased significantly when the outside temperature grows higher. The necessary ventilation rate of 40% transmittance was about half of that of 90% transmittance. In consequence, shading effect on temperature control in greenhouse is significant in summer. When the total area of the openings for ventilation is constant, the maximum ventilation rate happens when the area of roof openings is equal to the area of side openings. This maximum ventilation rate is about 3 times of that of the greenhouse with roof openings and without side openings. Therefore, the side openings are advantageous to improve the natural ventilation in greenhouses. As the greenhouse width increases, the influence of side openings on the ventilation rate is becoming smaller. If the natural ventilation rate of the greenhouse with roof and side openings is to become double of that of the roof openings only, the width should be narrower than 38.4m for the Venlo type and 64m for Wide span type.

The printed circuit heat exchanger (PCHE) is regarded as a promising candidate for advanced heat exchangers for the next-generation supercritical $CO_2$ power generation owing to its high compactness and rigid structure. In this study, an innovative type of PCHE, in which the channel sizes for the heat source fluid and heat sink fluid are different, is considered for analysis. The thermal performance of the PCHE, with supercritical $CO_2$ as the working fluid, is numerically analyzed. The results have shown that the thermal performance of the PCHE decreases monotonically when the channel size of either the heat source channel or the heat sink channel, because of the decreased flow velocity. On the other hand, the thermal performance of the PCHE is found to be almost independent of the spacing between the channels. In addition, it was found that the channel cross sectional shape has little effect on the thermal performance when the hydraulic diameter of the channel remains constant.

The shell and tube heat exchangers installed in the propulsion system test complex (PSTC) at the Naro Space Center heats cryogenic helium to 500 K with a heat transfer oil. As the experimental helium outlet temperature was lower than expected (less than 100 K), the boundary layer effect of the heat transfer oil is predicted to be the cause of the performance deterioration. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis was performed to verify where the boundary layer effect exists; however, the boundary layer effect has no significant impact on the performance of the heat exchanger. An alternative method to improve the performance of the heat exchanger by changing the heat transfer oil has been discussed in this paper. The low viscosity and high thermal conductivity at high temperature (~500 K) of heat transfer oil at the shell-side are required to improve the thermal performance of the heat exchanger. The experimental performance of the heat exchanger, used to exchange heat between the cryogenic helium and hot heat transfer oil at the PSTC are summarized in this paper.

냉동공조용 열교환기의 종류, 특징, 기술개발 동향, 전망 등에 대해 요약한 결과를 정리하면 다 음과 같다. (1) 암모니아 냉매가 다시 각광을 받음에 따라 응축기의 형식도 크게 변하고 있다. 이러한 변화로 핀 튜브를 사용한 횡형, 금속용착형 플레이트 식, 플레이트 핀 식의 응축기들이 암모니아 용으로 적용되기 시작하고 있다. (2) 암모니아 냉동장치는 현재에도 많이 적용되고 있으나 대부분 중앙 집중식 천정증발기나 강관 제 유닛 쿨러를 사용하고 있다. 그러나 최근 기술의 발전과 더불어 알루미늄 관 알루미늄 핀 증발기가 개발됨에 따라 암모니아 냉매도 프레온 냉매와 마찬가지로 건식, 분산식으로 적용되게 되었으며 이 분야의 기술개발이 요청된다. (3) 열교환기의 연구 방향은 에너지 절약, 공간 절약에 기여하면서도 성능향상을 이룩할 수 있는 기술개발, 그리고 소음이 적은 기기 제조 기술이 요망된다. 또한, 착상에 대한 기술적 대책, 근 본적 대책에 대한 대비가 요망되며, 기존 냉매에 대한 대체 냉매용 최적 열교환기에 대한 적극적 연구가 요망된다. (4) 제한된 에너지 자원, 지구환경, 열악한 우리나라의 에너지 사정 등을 고려할 때 냉동공조용 열교환기의 성능 향상에 대한 국가와 일반 소비자들의 기대는 더욱 증가하리라 예상된다. 이들 요구를 만족시키기 위해서는 냉동공조용 열교환기의 성능 향상, 열교환기의 제작에 필요한 자 원의 절약, 생산성 향상, 설치장소와 관련한 효율적인 공간활용, 열교환기 자체 소음의 최소화 등의 방면에 착실한 연구 개발이 있어야 할 것이다.
