This research was concerned with the enhancement of heat transfer by surfactant added to the aqueous solution of LiBr. Different vertical tubes were tested with and without an additive of normal octyl alcohol. The test tubes are a bare inner surface. a groove inner surface, a corrugated inner surface and a spring inserted inner surface tubes. The additive concentration was about 0.08 mass%. The heat transfer coefficient was measured as a function of the film Reynolds number in the range of 20~200. Experiments were carried out at higher cooling water temperature of $35^{\circ}C$ to simulate an air cooling condition for several kinds of absorber testing tubes. The experimental results were compared with and without surfactant. The enhancement of heat transfer by Marangoni convection effect which was generated by addition of the surfactant is observed in each test tube. Especially, it is clarified that the tube with an inserted spring has the highest enhancement effect.

The purpose of this study is to make an economic analysis(Life cycle cost) of selecting optimal air conditioning system for a research building which is 8 stories with a total floor area of $32,010m^2$. Energy consumptions of three proposed air-conditioning systems(Alt-1,2,3) that reflect the government green-growth policy are calculated and compared. The results show that life cycle cost of Alt-3(Ventilation DX AHU+EHP) is less than Alt-1(EHP+ventilation DX AHU) by 5.1%, and Alt-2(Absorption chiller/heater+EHP) by 34.3%. Annual energy consumption of Alt-3 is less than Alt-1 by 9.9%, and Alt-2 by 37.4%. Annual $CO_2$ emission of Alt-3 is less than Alt-1 by 9.9%, and Alt-2 by 0.2%.

In Korea, air source heat pump system is less efficient than conventional heat source facilities, such as ground source, river water, because the air temperature in winter season is so low that COP of air source heat pump system drops below 3.0. Therefore, the study on the application of heat pump heating and cooling systems is crucial for the efficient popularization of heat pump. In this work, we present the dynamic analysis of energy consumption for the large resident building by heat resistance-capacitance method. The system simulation of water storage air source heat pump is additionally performed by changing of sizes and locations of the hospital building. The computed results show that energy cost of water storage air source heat pump is low, so it is more economical than absorption chiller & heater.

A field test of a 70 kW heat pump system with flue gas heat recovery was performed by an experiment at the Korea Institute of Energy Research. The flue gas is exhausted from a 320 RT absorption chiller-heater in the heating season. Using this flue gas, source water of the heat pump is heated by a condensed-type heat exchanger in the chimney. The operating characteristics of the heat recovery heat pump system were analyzed. Based on the results of the experiments, operating maps were obtained, and an optimum operating range is suggested, in which the return and heat source water temperature are $51^{\circ}C$ and $31^{\circ}C$, respectively. Additionally, economic analysis of this system was conducted and about 50% energy cost savings can be expected in the heating season.

Geothermal-energy has been getting popular as a natural energy source for green buildings these days. As a result Geothermal Source Heat Pump System (GSHPs) was being recognized effective alternative systems to conventional heating and cooling systems owing to their higher energy utilization efficiency. But GSHPs has not been popularized thereby the large amount of initial cost of the system and insufficiency of studies for economic estimation. Therefore GSHPs are being developed to make up for the weak points that are the large amount of initial cost of the system and much annual electricity consumption. In this paper, economic estimation was conducted by payback period method and it shows that the pay back period of Heat Storage Type GSHPs was calculated 6.8 years compared with the absorption Chiller-Heater system and 8.2 years compared with the Ice storage-Boiler system. Heat Storage Type GSHPs also has the lower annual source energy consumption than the conventional heating and cooling systems because of using nighttime electricity.

본 연구에서는 두 개의 기포유동층으로 구성된 연속장치(높이: 1.2 m, 내경: 0.11 m)를 이용하여 실험장치의 최소유동화속도와 고체순환량을 측정하여 수력학적 특성을 파악하고 흡수-재생 조업변수에 의한 반응특성을 알아보았다. 사용된 K-계열 건식흡수제는 한국전력연구원으로부터 공급되었고 $CO_2$ 흡수를 위한 35%의 탄산칼륨과 기계적 강도를 위한 65%의 지지체로 구성되어 있다. 연속 장치는 두 개의 기포유동층 반응기, 수송관, 상승관, 냉각장치, 분석기, 히터 등으로 구성되어 있다. 이 장치의 최소유동화속도는 0.0088 m/s이고 수송관의 유속이 1.05 m/s일 때 고체순환량은 $10.3kg/m^2{\cdot}s$로 측정되었다. 모사가스를 이용하여 실험을 수행하였고 흡수반응기 입구 $CO_2$ 농도(Dry basis)는 약 10 vol%였고, 온도는 흡수반응온도 $70^{\circ}C$, 재생반응온도 $200^{\circ}C$에서 각각 일정하게 유지하였다. 반응기의 차압은 흡수반응기 $415mmH_2O$, 재생반응기 $350mmH_2O$에서 안정적으로 유지하였다. 실험은 조업변수들인 $H_2O$ 주입농도(7.28~19.66%), 모사가스 유속(0.053~0.103 m/s), 흡수반응온도($60{\sim}80^{\circ}C$), 재생반응온도($150{\sim}200^{\circ}C$), 고체순환량($7.0{\sim}10.3kg/m^2{\cdot}s$)의 변화에 따라 반응실험이 실시되었다. 각 변수실험은 정상상태 도달 후 1시간 정도 유지한 후 결과를 저장, 분석하였다. 실험결과 수증기 주입량, 재생반응온도, 고체순환량이 증가할수록 제거율은 증가하였고 흡수반응온도, 유속이 증가함에 따라 제거율은 감소하였다.
