Pool boiling experiments were carried out to study the effect of electric field on nucleate boiling heat transfer. CFC-11 and its alternative HCFC-123 were used as working fluids. Boiling on both single tube and a bundle of five tubes was investigated. Heat flux varied from 5 to $25kW/m^2$ while the applied voltage changed from 0 to 1kV. The results showed that at low heat flux where boiling was not present or very weak, electric field-induced forced convection helped increase the heat transfer coefficients of CFC-11 and HCFC-123 significantly(4-15 times increase). However, at higher heat flux, nucleate boiling of CFC-11 which is a highly dielectric fluid, was not affected significantly by the application of electric field. In contrast to CFC-11, even at high heat flux, nucleate boiling of CFC-11 which has a relatively larger electric conductivity than CFC-11, was vigorously increased up to 2-4 times. The additional power required to apply the electric field was 1-2% of the total power consumption by the heater. The increase in overall heat transfer coefficient of evaporators with HCFC -123 was about 40%, suggesting a considerable reduction in evaporator size with EHD technique.

1987년의 몬트리얼 의정서에 의한 CFCs와 HCFCs의 규제에 이어 1999년의 교토의정서에 의한 지구온난화 물질에 대한 규제는 CFCs와 HCFCs의 대체물질로 준비되어온 HFCs의 사용에 제동을 걸게 되었다. 아울러 환경론자들은 냉동공조 업계가 HFCs를 사용하지 말고 탄화수소, 이산 화탄소, 암모니아, 물 및 공기와 같은 보다 환경친 화적인 자연냉매를 사용할 것을 요구하고 있으며, 최근 학계의 자연냉매에 대한 고무적인 연구결과는 자연냉매의 사용에 대한 산업계의 관심을 고조 시키고 있다. 본 고에서는 최근 주목을 받고있는 이 산화탄소를 냉매로 하는 냉방시스템 중의 한 요소인 가스쿨러에 대한 연구개발 현황분석 및 향후 과제에 대하여 살펴보기로 한다.

A domestic refrigerator is composed of many components such as a compressor, evaporator, capillary tube, and the cabinet which plays a great role on the cycle performance, even if it is not the basic component part in the cycle. Recently, the restriction policy on the energy-saving and environmentally friendly refrigerator is reinforced in our nation as well as developed countries. Therefore, in this paper, cycle simulations and experiments were carried out ito understand the characteristics of the cycle performance using CFC 12, HFC 134a, and HC 600a and to know how changes in UA(overall heat transfer coefficients$\times$ heat transfer area) of evaporator, the position displacement of compressor, and the rpm of fan in the freezing room which has influence on the cycle performance. The result shows that the quantitative values of simulation and experiment are not coincident, but their trend is similar. When HFC 134a and HC 600a were used without the change of design in refrigerator used CFC 12, the performance of system in HC 600a is 30% lower, and the case of HFC 134a is 10% lower than that of CFC 12 on freezing temperature.

As concerns increase over the dangers of environmental destruction on a global scale, CFC regulations have finally been carried out and some CFC's are expected to be phased out by the end of 1995. The research for alternative refrigerants is very demanding. The major activities related to alternative refrigerants are focused on two different areas; one is the development of mixed refrigerants by using the existing refrigerants, and the other is the development of new HFC refrigerants. One of the most promising alternative refrigerant for CFC-12 is HFC-134a. HFC-134a has often been used as a replacement of CFC-12 for automotive air-conditioners. However, due to different thermodynamic properties of HFC-134a, performances of the replaced system are degraded compared with those of the CFC-12 system. Sometimes, the complete redesign of the system is required. In order to analyse and design the new system effectively, the developement of a system simulation program, in which HFC-134a can be selected as a refrigerant, is recommended. Therefore, the summary of this research is as follows : (1) The various thermodynamic properties of HFC-134a are ana lysed and programmed. (2) The model for serpentine heat exchanger is developed and programmed. (3) These subroutines are integrated to develop to develop an automotive air conditioning system simulation program which is verified by the test results. (4) The verified program is used to analyse the performance of a selected automotive air conditioning system.

Until 1996, CFC refrigerants haven't been used because it destroyed ozone that affecting In ecosystem. And HCFC will prohibit until 2020. In Europe, they attempt to move up its fulfillment. Until now the change have completed CFC into HFC134a and is considerated HCFC into HFC410A and HFC407C. But HFC41 OA has high condenser temperature and HFC407C is non-azeotropic refrigerant mixture and gliding temperature phenomenon. New refrigerant ell POE, PVE, PAG was also developed.

CFCs는 가정제품과 공업의 생산과정에서 발포제와 냉매제로 오랜 기간 사용되었다. 1974년, CFCs는 Molina와 Rowland에 의해서 성층권 오존의 고갈 요인으로 인식하게 되었고, 최근에는 지구 온난화의 기여물질로써 사회적 관심이 증가하였다. CFCs의 세계적인 생산은 Montreal 의정서와 그 개정안으로 인해 점차 감소하면서 사용이 폐지되었고, 대체 물질로 HCFCS와 HFCs가 사용되고 있다. 대류권에서 HCFCs와 HFCs는 hydroxyl radicals에 의해 산화되고, 최종 분해산물로 무기산, 염, HF, $CO_2$, HC와 Trifluoroacetic acid(TFA)가 생성된다.

환경문제에 대한 관심이 높아짐에 따라, 냉동공조 산업에서 다양하게 이용되는 냉매에 대하여도 많운 시각이 집중되고 있다. 특히, 몬트리얼 의정서와 교토의정서에 의한 지구온난화 물질에 대한 규제로 CFCs와 HCFCs 냉매를 사용하지 못하게 펌에 따라 냉동공조업계에서는 열역학적 물성치가 우수하고 환경친화적인 대체냉매의 개발에 관한 연구를 활발히 진행하고 있다. 이러한 문제의 근본적인 해결책은 자연상태로 존재하는 자연냉매를 이용하는 것이디. 이산화탄소, 암모니아, 탄화수소계열, 물, 공기 등이 대표적으로 거론되고 있는 자연냉매이다. 이 중에서 도 이산화탄소는 인체에 무해하며, 독성이 없고, 화 학적으로 안정하며,기존의 냉동기 재료를 그대로 사용할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 또한 열역학적 성질 및 전달물성이 우수하고, 냉통기에 적용할 때 성능이 개선될 가능성이 많다는 점도 매우 고무적이다. 본 고에서는 최근 가장 주목을 받고 있는 이산화탄소를 이용한 냉동사이클의 특성과 성능향상 방안에 대하여 기존 연구결과를 정리하여 설명하고자 한다.

In this study, condensation heat transfer coefficients(HTCs) of CFC-11, HCFC-123 and HCFC-141b are measured, which are used/or considered as working fluids in centrifugal chillers. The main objectives of this study are to measure and compare the HTCs of various refrigerants on plain and low fin tubes and also to find out the optimum fin density of the low fin tubes. To accomplish these goals, HTCs of three refrigerants are measured for the plain tube as well as 4 types of low fin tubes. All measurements are carried out at the vapor temperature of 39.deg. C with the wall temperature difference of 3 .deg. C ~ 8.deg. C. For all the refrigerants tested, a low fin tube of 28 fins per inch yielded the best performance among all the tubes tested. For the plain tube, the HTCs of CFC-11 and HCFC-141b were very similar and those of HCFC-123 were 10% lower than those of CFC-11.Thus, it can be concluded that HCFC-123 and HCFC-141b are acceptable as alternative refrigerants for CFC-11 from the view point of condensation heat transfer.

Vapor pressure of HFC-404a and polyol ester system were measured at 56 points from 263.15 to 323.15 K and from 0 to 90 mass %polyol ester. It was found that below 273.15 K, the effect of the polyol ester on the vapor pressure was negligible up to 30 mass % polyol ester. The vapor pressure of the system significantly decreased as the mass fraction of polyol ester increased over 50 percent. Raoult's model and Flory-Huggins model were tested for data reduction. Empirical vapor pressure equations were obtained in terms of temperature and mass fraction of polyol ester.
