The system air conditioner has an outdoor unit and a number of indoor units, which connected by several long pipes. In comparison with building HAVC system, the system air conditioner doesn't need lots of facilities, such as control of room, cooling tower, etc. At the beginning stage for the market of the system air conditioner, its main application was a school which size is small to use the building HAVC and large to use home air conditioning system, such as PAC (package air conditioner), RAC (room air conditioner). Therefore, because of the advantages of the system air conditioner mentioned above, the market is expanded rapidly. Since it is difficult to evaluate the noise caused by the system air conditioner because it has to be implemented before the finish of construction, the prediction or estimation of the noise by using CAE technology should be very important. In this research, using a commercial code, RAYNOISE, the noise is estimated to improve the design of building.

The sound transmission from the machine room where air-conditioner outdoor unit is located into the adjacent room is predicted and evaluated. The software package for statistical energy analysis(SEA) is utilized to determine the transmission losses of multi-layerd panels. To determine the noise level in the machine room, ray tracing method is adopted. The various sound transmission paths have been effectively identified and evaluated by the SEA tool.

In this paper, parallel control method that enables coordinating operations of multiple mini ice storage air conditioner is proposed based on LonWorks system. The proposed parallel control method is a kind of master/slave control method based on LonTalk network communication. In the control method, master controller leading whole system operations is determined by date to avoid the disproportion of outdoor unit operations. In addition to the above, duty shift control method is proposed to avoid redundant operations of outdoor units and to equalize the operation frequencies of them. Through some simulation tests, the proposed parallel control method and the duty shift control method are evaluated and the efficiencies of them are validated by comparing with existing methods.

The compressor is one of major noise sources in air conditioner outdoor units, especially deteriorating the sound quality. Therefore, the sound insulation materials layered with sound absorption materials are applied around compressors. In this study, the performance of the sound insulators is examined by measuring the insertion losses in power base and the effects of sound absorption materials, method of application and the shape of the insulators are also investigated. The importance of minimizing the opening is revealed well.

This study was conducted to determine the sound paths and transmitted sound level in house. An air-conditioner system was selected a typical sound source. The measured transmission loss data shows that the apertures have an significant effect on the transmitted noise and comparable with the existing theoretical data. Therefore the complex aperture was substitute to quantitative apertures approximately. An effective simulation method, ray tracing and mirror image source method, was employed in the prediction of transmitted sound level. The measured results were efficiently reflected on the simulated results. So it is important that measuring the acoustic parameter prior to the prediction of the transmitted sound level in the house.

본 연구에서는 현재 상업용으로 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 멀티시스템형 에어컨실외기의 화재 위험성을 평가하기 위하여 에어컨실외기의 실물 연소실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과 에어컨실외기는 내부 폭발과 상부 배출 그릴을 통한 급격한 화염분출 및 화재확산을 보였으며, 이는 실외기 내부에 내장된 전선, 전자 제어판, 열교환용 동판 및 합성수지류 등의 가연물이 연소하고 냉매가스가 충전된 배관이 가열로 인해 파괴되어 냉매가스가 분출되면서 화재폭발과 외부로 화염분출을 가속시켜 일어난 것이다. 본 실험에서 에어컨실외기의 최고 열방출율은 5,830 kW로 나타났으며, 열화상 카메라 및 열전대에 의해 측정된 실외기의 내부 온도는 최고 $1,201^{\circ}C$이고, 외부온도는 최고 $881^{\circ}C$ 이상, 화염의 길이는 약 5 m 이상 상승하였다. 그러므로 에어컨실외기의 화재는 주변 가연물을 발화시키는 원인으로 작용하여 건축물에 2차 화재를 발생시킴으로써 큰 피해를 줄 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 이러한 실물실험에서 얻어낸 결과는 향후 컴퓨터시뮬레이션에서 에어컨실외기의 화재구현 및 주변 가연물로의 화재 확산 예측에 적용될 수 있을 것이다.

Air-cooled split-type air conditioners (AC) are very popular in high-rise residential and commercial buildings in Korea. The performance of such AC systems varies significantly with system characteristics and environmental conditions. Particularly, the outdoor condensing unit of the system, if poorly cooled due to high density of AC distribution and restricted outdoor space, will result in large decrease of cooling efficiency and increase of electrical energy consumption and may further jeopardize the system reliability. This paper presents a numerical analysis on the thermal and energy performance of a group of air-cooled air conditioners installed at a courtyard of a high-rise building. The study introduces a series of new energy performance indices to assess the group performance of the AC condensers with different outdoor unit layouts. The results not only indicate the COP of the systems, but also quantify the system capacity and energy consumption. The evaluation method and indices developed are useful for guiding the design of the distribution plan of the AC units at building re-entrants.

에어컨의 성능은 분리형 실외기의 냉각 성능과 밀접한 관련이 있으며, 그에 따라 대다수의 관련 선행 연구에서는 실외기 내부 축류팬의 단독 성능에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 하지만 축류팬을 제외한 실외기 내부 여러 구성요소의 영향에 대한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 여러 요소 중 팬 오리피스가 실외기 유동 성능에 미치는 영향을 수치적으로 분석하였다. 고정밀 유동장 해석을 위해 약 1800만 개의 격자로 구성된 가상 팬 테스터를 개발하고, V-LES의 일종인 비정상 RANS(Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes) 방정식을 CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) 기법에 기초하여 해석하였다. 수치 해석의 유효성을 확인하기 위해서 실험을 통해 측정한 실외기 시스템의 P-Q 곡선을 가상 팬 테스터를 사용한 수치 해석 결과와 비교하였다. 유효성을 검증한 수치 기법을 이용하여 실외기 유량 성능을 최대화할 수 있는 오리피스 형상 최적 설계를 수행하였다.

This environmental influence of the noise produced by a number of air-conditioner out-door units in a multi-unit housing is predicted and evaluated. The method based on Ray tracing theory and mirror image source theory is utilized. Each ventilation window in a machine room is considered as a sound source which contributes to the overall noise level of the surrounding environment. The adopted method has been found a very efficient tool to assess the environmental noise impact.
