The effects of mixing vanes (MVs) attached to a grid spacer on the characteristics of air-water annular flows were experimentally investigated. To know the effects, a grid spacer with or without MV was inserted in a vertical circular pipe of 16-mm internal diameter. For three cases (i.e., no spacer, spacer without MV, and spacer with MV), the liquid film thickness, liquid entrainment fraction, and deposition rate were measured by the constant current method, single liquid film extraction method, and double liquid film extraction method, respectively. The MVs significantly promote the re-deposition of liquid droplets in the gas core flow into the liquid film on the channel walls. The deposition mass transfer coefficient is three times higher for the spacer with MV than for the spacer without MV, even for cases 0.3-m downstream from the spacer. The liquid film thickness becomes thicker upstream and downstream for the spacer with MV, compared with the thickness for the spacer without MV and for the case with no spacer.

The evaporation heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop of R-22 and R-407C in a small diameter copper tube were investigated experimentally. The main components of the refrigerant loop are a receiver, a compressor, a mass flow mete, a condense and a double pipe type evaporate (test section). The test section consists of a smooth copper tube of 4.3 mm inner diameter. The refrigerant mass fluxes were varied from 100 to $300[kg/m^{2}s]$ and the saturation temperature of evaporator were $5[^{\circ}C]$. The evaporation heat transfer coefficients of R-22 and R-407C increase with the Increase in mass flux and vapor quality. The evaporation heat transfer coefficient of R-22 is about $7.3\sim47.1%$ higher than that of R-407C. The evaporation pressure drop of R-22 and R-407C increase with the increase of mass flux. The pressure drop of R-22 is about $8\sim20%$ higher than that of R-407C.

Environmentally friendly refrigerants with zero ozone layer depletion potential are required to be used in refrigerators and air conditioners due to the difficulties related to ozone layer depletion and global warming. A rigorous study for the system performance with new refrigerants having zero ozone layer depletion potential is inevitable before adopting that as a new fluid. The HFC(Hydrofluorocarbon) potential has been recommended as alternatives. In this paper. system performance in the heat pump facilities were studied using R-290, R-600a. R-1270 as an environment friendly refrigerant. R-22 as a HCFC's refrigerant. The experimental apparatus has been set-up as a conventional vapor compression type heat Pump system. The test section is a horizontal double pipe heat exchanger. A tube diameter of 12.70mm with 1.315mm wall thickness is used for this investigation. The test results showed that the COP of hydrocarbon refrigerants were superior to that of R-22 and the maximum increasing rate of COP was found in R-1270. The refrigeration capacity of hydrocarbon refrigerants were higher than that of R-22. The compressor work was obtained with the maximum value in R-1270 and the minimum one in R-22.

The heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop during gas cooling process of carbon dioxide in a helically coiled tube were investigated experimentally. The experiments were conducted without oil in the refrigerant loop. The main components of the refrigerant loop are a receiver, a variable speed pump, a mass flowmeter, a pre-heater, a gas cooler(test section) and an isothermal tank. The test section is a double pipe type heat exchanger with refrigerant flowing in the inner tube and water flowing in the annulus. It was made of a copper tube with the inner diameter of 4.85 [mm], the outer diameter of 6.35 [mm] and length of 10000 [mm]. The refrigerant mass fluxes were 200${\sim}$600 [kg/$m^2$s] and the average pressure varied from 7.5 [MPa] to 10.0 [MPa]. The main results were summarized as follows: The heat transfer coefficient of supercritical $CO_2$ increases, as the cooling pressure of gas cooler decreases. And the heat transfer coefficient increases with the increase of the refrigerant mass flux. The pressure drop decreases in increase of the gas cooler pressure and increases with increase the refrigerant mass flux.

Experimental results for heat transfer characteristic and pressure gradient of HCs refrigerants R-290, R-600a, R-1270 and HCFC refrigerant R-22 during condensing inside horizontal double pipe heat exchangers are presented. The test sections which have one tube diameter of 12.70 mm with 0.86 mm wall thickness, another tube diameter of 9.52 mm with 0.76 mm wall thickness are used for this investigation. The local condensing heat transfer coefficients of hydrocarbon refrigerants were higher than those of R-22. The average condensing heat transfer coefficient increased with the increase of the mass flux. It showed the higher values in hydrocarbon refrigerants than R-22. Hydrocarbon refrigerants have higher pressure drop than those of R-22 in 12.7 mm and 9.52 mm. This results from the investigation can be used in the design of heat transfer exchangers using hydrocarbons as the refrigerant for the air-conditioning systems.

These results from the investigation can be used in the design of heat transfer exchangers using hydrocarbons as the refrigerant for the air-conditioning systems.

The evaporation heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop of R-22 and R-407C in a horizontal copper tube were investigated experimentally. The main components of the refrigerant loop are a receiver, a compressor, a mass flow meter, a condenser and a double pipe type evaporator (test section). The test section consists of a smooth copper tube of 6.4 mm inner diameter. The refrigerant mass fluxes were varied from 100 to $300\;kg/m^2s$ and the saturation temperature of evaporator were $5^{\circ}C$. The evaporation heat transfer coefficients of R-22 and R-407C increase with the increase of mass flux and vapor quality. The evaporation heat transfer coefficients of R-22 is about $5.68{\times}46.6%$ higher than that of R-407C. The evaporation pressure drop of R-22 and R-407C increase with the increase of mass flux. The pressure drop of R-22 is similar to that of R-407C. In comparison with test results and existing correlations, correlations failed to predict the evaporation heat transfer coefficient of R-22 and R-407C. therefore, it is necessary to develope reliable and accurate predictions determining the evaporation heat transfer coefficient of R-22 and R-407C in a horizontal tube.

Experimental investigation on the performance of a heat pump system using refrigerant mixtures is done. The condenser and the evaporator are double pipe heat exchangers of counter flow type and the compressor is driven by a variable speed motor. The refrigerant mixture used in the experiment is R22/R142b. Experiments are performed by changing the compressor speed, composition on ratio of mixture, and the average temperatures of condenser and evaporator. The compressor work, heating capacity and the coefficient of performance are calculated. Results show that the heating capacity can be changed by varying the mass flow rate of refrigerant mixtures to meet the heating load. It is shown that the capacity control by changing the composition ratio is more effective than by changing the compressor speed. Under the condition where the external conditions are fixed and the heating loads are equal, the coefficient of performance has its maximum value near 50 : 50 mass fraction of the refrigerant mixture in this study.

본 연구에서는 인천국제공항 3단계 건설 사업에 포함된 지중열시스템에 대한 적정 지중열교환기 선정을 위해 현장 부지내 시스템의 열원(지중열원, 지하수), 채움재(벤토나이트, 콩자갈), 열교환 파이프 형태(U, D-U)별로 지중열교환기를 설치하여 지중열전도도, 시공성, 경제성을 평가하였다. 이를 위해 벤토나이트 그라우트에 single U형의 열교환파이프가 삽입된 일반수직밀폐형-I, 열교환 파이프의 접촉면적을 늘려 열교환율을 높이기 위해 single U형 열교환파이프를 두 개 삽입한 Double U형 일반수직밀폐형-II, 일반수직밀폐형-I의 채움재를 벤토나이트 대신 콩자갈로 적용한 개량수직밀폐형 및 SCW(standing column well)에 채움재를 넣은 함몰방지개방형(geohil)을 시험시공하였다. 초기비용에 대한 비용 비교분석결과 일반수직밀폐형-I 대비 개량수직밀폐형, 일반수직밀폐형-II의 경우 초기비용이 절감되었지만 시공성(채움재 주입, 열교환 파이프 삽입) 및 시공일수를 고려할 때 높은 경제성을 기대하기 어려우리라 판단된다. 또한 Geohil의 경우 초기 비용이 더 늘어났다.

프레온계 냉매의 지구온난화와 오존층파괴 문제로 인해 대체냉매로서 R-410A가 주목을 받고 있다. 이러한 대체냉매를 세관에 적용시킬 경우 효율을 향상시킬 뿐만 아니라 지구환경에 미치는 영향을 감소시키고, 대기를 청정하게 만드는 기술 및 방안으로 각광 받고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 R-22의 대체냉매로 각광받고 있는 R-410A의 세관응축기 내에서의 응축열전달 특성에 대해 실험적으로 고찰하고자 하였다. 실험장치는 유동양식, 열전달, 압력강하 특성을 파악할 수 있도록 제작되었고, 주요 구성품은 냉매펌프, 증발기, 응축기(시험부), 사이트 글라스(가시화부), 압력탭, 측정장치 등이다. 시험부의 내관은 내경 3.36 mm와 5.35 mm인 수평평활 동관이다. 실험변수들의 범위로서 질량유속 $200{\sim}500\;kg/m^2s$이고, 열유속은 $1.0{\sim}2.4\;kW$이다. R-410A의 응축열전달 계수가 R-22에 비해 최대 5% 정도 높은 것을 알 수 있었다. 세관 내 R-410A와 R-22의 유동양식은 환상류 영역이 지배적으로 나타남을 관찰하였고, 건도가 0.2 이하인 영역에서는 성층류가 나타남을 확인할 수 있었다. 내경 3.36 mm의 압력강하가 내경 5.35 mm에 비해 $30{\sim}50%$정도 높았다. 종래의 응축 열전달 상관식과 실험데이터를 비교한 결과, Fujii의 상관식과 최대 40%이내에서 일치하였다.
