Air-source heat pumps are widely used in residential heating systems. However, the decrease in the capacity of the heat pump is unavoidable when operating at very low and high ambient temperatures. The vapor injection technique is considered a promising technology to overcome this problem. Recent research on vapor injection cycles have mainly adopted a scroll compressor with an internal heat exchanger at severe operating conditions. This study measured the COP and EER of a gas injection heat pump using a flash tank with an inverter-driven rotary compressor at severe operating conditions. Compared to non-injection heat pumps, the heating capacity and COP of the gas injection heat pump improved up to 15% and 2.9%, respectively, at outdoor temperatures of $-10^{\circ}C$ to $7^{\circ}C$. The cooling capacity of the gas injection heat pump was 11% higher than the non-injection heat pump at an outdoor temperature of $35^{\circ}C$. At the same time, the EER of the gas injection heat pump was similar to that of the non-injection heat pump.

Performance factors such as the EER(Energy Efficiency Ratio) and the COP (Coefficient of Performance) are being replaced by seasonal energy efficiency factors, like the SEER (Seasonal EER) and the SCOP (Seasonal COP) to evaluate the performance of a heat pump by the time of the year. Seasonal performance factors, such as the CSPF (Cooling Seasonal Performance Factor) and the HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor) are used to describe the heat pump's performance during the cool and hot seasons. In this study, the optimization of all heat pump's operating parameters was experimentally conducted to enhance the SEER based on the EU standard (EN 14825). Moreover, the SEER was improved by the compressor frequency, as well as indoor and outdoor fan speeds. In addition, the performance characteristics of the heat pump were studied under partial load conditions. As a result, the SEER was enhanced by 17% when the compressor frequency was optimized. An additional 2% improvement was achievable with the optimization of indoor and outdoor fan speeds.

In this study, NR GT 101 (water-to-water Ground source heat pump unit) and NR GT 102 (water-to-air Ground source heat pump unit) related with ISO and ARI guideline were introduced and researched. GSHPs testing was performed by NR GT 101, 102 and analyzed performance factors. Test result, Energy Efficiency Ratio and Coefficient of performance factor of GSHPs were relatively low at an average value rather than Certification.

An air source heat pump system producing the ice and water storage energy for cooling and heating of building has been proposed. Cycle design and simulation considering energy balance between heating and cooling capacity has been carried out. The roles of the capacity controlled compressor, refrigerant heating device and air preheating are investigated in detail. System control logic for meeting the predetermined heating capacity when the system is operated at cold climate condition is suggested. Some anticipated problems of the proposed system are also described.

본 연구에서는 지하수 관정을 활용하고 밀폐형-개방형이 결합된 복합지열시스템(CWG 시스템)을 시설재배지에 적용하여 열원측 및 부하측의 열교환량과 투입된 전력량 대비 효율을 평가하였다. 또한, 운전 과정에서의 외기온도 및 시설재배지 온도를 평가하여 복합지열시스템 적용시의 냉난방 효과를 분석하였다. 냉방운전시 열원측 열교환량 평가결과, 약 235 L/min의 지하수가 유입되는 개방형에서 평균 90.0 kW/h, 약 85 L/min의 순환수가 유동하는 밀폐형에서 40.1 kW/h의 열교환량이 발생하였으며, 전체 열교환량은평균 130.1 kW/h로 분석되었다. 부하측에서 실질적으로 전달되는 열교환량은 평균 110.4kW/h로 평가되었다. 복합지열시스템의 냉방효율을 분석한 결과, 평균 EER는 5.63으로 분석되었다. 난방운전 시 열원측 열교환량 평가결과, 약 266 L/min의 지하수가 유입되는 개방형에서 평균 60.4 kW/h, 약 86 L/min의 순환수가 유동하는 밀폐형에서 22.4 kW/h의 열교환량이 발생하였으며, 전체 열교환량은 평균 82.9 kW/h로 분석되었다. 부하측에서 실질적으로 전달되는 열교환량은 평균 112.0 kW/h로 평가되었다. 복합지열시스템의 난방효율을 분석한 결과, 평균 COP는 3.92로 분석되었다. 외기온도와 CWG 시스템을 적용한 시설하우스 및 비교 시설하우스 내부온도와의 상관관계를 분석한 결과 30RT 용량의 CWG 시스템 하우스가 비교 하우스에 비해 외기온도 $20^{\circ}C$인 경우 $3.4^{\circ}C$, 외기온도 $25^{\circ}C$인 경우 $6.8^{\circ}C$, 외기온도 $30^{\circ}C$인 경우 $10.1^{\circ}C$, 외기온도 $35^{\circ}C$인 경우 $13.4^{\circ}C$의 온도가 저감되는 것으로 평가되었다. 이러한 결과를 볼 때, 본 시스템을 적용할 경우 일반적으로 외기온도가 $30^{\circ}C$ 이상을 보이는 여름철에 CWG 시스템을 적용하지 않은 시설재배지에 비해 약 $10^{\circ}C$ 이상의 냉방효과가 나타낼 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 이와 같은 결과는 시설재배지의 복합지열시스템 설계에 활용될 수 있고, 다양한 조건에서의 시험성과와 종합하여 복합지열시스템의 냉난방 효과에 대한 보다 명확한 규명이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
