대용량의 공기조화용으로 널리 사용되는 터보냉동기는 냉매로 HCFC-123 가스를 주로 사용하며, HCFC-123은 CFC계 프레온의 대체 냉매제로 독성은 낮으나 환기가 원활하지 않는 밀폐공간이나 작업공간에서 산소결핍으로 인한 질식재해를 유발할 수 있는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 2011년 대형할인마트 기계실 내부 터보냉동기 냉매 누출로 인해 작업자 4명이 질식 등의 사유로 사망한 재해 사례를 대상으로 전산유체역학을 이용하여 HCFC-123 누출에 따른 산소농도를 예측함으로써 프레온 가스 누출사고에 대한 원인을 조사하고 대응책을 제시하여 동종 재해의 재발 방지에 도움이 되고자 한다.

Experimental results from nucleate pool boiling heat transfer with various finned tubes in CFC11, HCF123 and HCFC141b are reported. One plain tube and four low fin tubes of various fin densities were tested in an attempt to find out the optimum fin density in the heat flux range of 10-60 kW/m$^{[-992]}$ at near atmospheric pressure. The results indicated that CFC11 showed the highest heat transfer coefficients. Its alternatives, HCFC123 and HCFC141b, showed 3-5% lower heat transfer coefficients than those of CFC11 at the same heat flux. As the fin density increases, so does the heat transfer surface area. Measured heat transfer coefficients, however, do not necessarily always increase as the fin density increases. This unique phenomenon seems to be caused by the coalescence of the bubblers that prevent the cool liquid from entering into the fin valleys. For all the refrigerants tested, the optimum fin density yielding the highest performance was 28 fins per inch confirming the previous results by other researchers.

This paper is concerned about the performance of HCFC22 alternative refrigerants used in heat pumps and industrial chillers. A water-to-water breadboard heat pump with counter-current heat exchangers and a hermetic compressor was built to carry out the experiments with various refrigerants. For each test, more than 40 temperatures, 4 pressures, power input, mass flow rates of the heat transfer fluids were measured. Refrigerants tested were HCFC22, R290(Propane), an azeotrope of 45%Propane/55%R134a mixture, and a nonazeotropic mixture of Calor 50. All tests were conducted under ARI test A condition. It is found that the COP and capacity of propane were 18% and 2.5% higher than those of HCFC22 while the COP and capacity of 45%Propane/55%R134a mixture were 3.5% and 5.3% higher than those of HCFC22 respectively. Also the COP and capacity of Calor 50 were 17% and 7.8% higher than those of HCFC22. Compressor discharge temperatures of alternative refrigerants were roughly $35^{\circ}C$ lower than that of HCFC22 indicating that these refrigerants are good from the view point of compressor reliability. The charging amounts for the alternative refrigerants were reduced by 40-60% as compared to that of HCFC22. Overall, it can be said that hydrocarbon containing alternative refrigerants are excellent in thermodynamic performance but should be used with considerable care due to their flammability.

CFC의 오존층 파괴로 인해 이를 대체할 냉매, 세정제, 발포제의 개발과 더불어 소방분야에서는 할론대체소화약제개발에 주력하여 왔다. 특히 소화기분야에서는 할론1211 소화기를 대체할 청정소화약제를 개발하여 왔다. 그 결과로 개발된 소화기용 청정소화약제 중 가장 널리 사용되는 소화약제가 HCFC-123이다. 대부분의 청정소화약제들은 자체 증기압이 약하기 때문에 어떠한 가압원을 사용할 것인가가 중요한 문제 중 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 소화기용 소화약제들 중 HCFC-123, HCFC-124, HFC-125, Novec-1230을 선정하여 이들 약제에 대한 가압원으로 보조소화효과를 기대할 수 있는 CO₂를 사용하였다. 각 소화약제별로 약제량과 CO₂량을 조절하며 시험을 실시한 결과 HCFC-123 소화약제로부터 기대한 소화효과를 확인할 수 있었다. 현재 시중에 판매되고 있는 소화기인 HCFC-123 2.5 kg을 질소로 가압하여 소화능력 ABC 각 1단위인 소화기보다 소화약제가 적은 HCFC-123 1.5 kg과 CO₂ 1.5 kg을 혼합한 소화기로 동일한 소화능력시험에 성공하였다. 이러한 소화시험의 결과는 가압원인 CO₂의 보조소화효과를 확인한 것이라 할 수 있다. 이는 중간대체물질로 분류되어 있는 HCFC계열의 소화약제를 줄일 수 있어 기존의 소화기보다 친환경적이고 경제적이라 할 수 있으며 B,C급 화재용 소화기인 CO₂ 소화기로 A급 가연물이 많은 전기, 전자 관련 시설을 방호하는 불합리함을 해결하는데 기여할 수 있으리라 기대한다.

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.

This case report attempts to present a case of acute toxic hepatitis in fire extinguisher manufacturing workers exposed to 2,2-dichloro-1,1,1-trifluoro-ethane (HCFC-123) in August 2017 in Korea. Twenty-two-year-old male workers were exposed to HCFC-123 for 1.5 hours one day and for 2.5 hours the other day, after which one worker died, and the other recovered after treatment. The workers were diagnosed with acute toxicity of hepatitis. However, exposure levels of HCFC-123 were not known with no work environment measurement done. Therefore, this study was conducted to estimate the exposure concentration of HCFC-123 via a job simulation experiment. In the simulation, the HCFC-123 exposure concentration was measured with the same working practice and working time as with the workers aforementioned. As a result, the workers who infused HCFC-123 into storage tanks were estimated to be exposed to HCFC-123 at a concentration of $20.65{\pm}10.81ppm$, and a mean concentration of area samples within a working radius were estimated as $70.30{\pm}18.10ppm$. Valve assembly workers working on valves of a fire extinguisher filled with HCFC-123 were exposed to HCFC-123 at concentrations of $91.65{\pm}4.03ppm$ and $115.55{\pm}7.28ppm$, respectively, in the simulation, and area samples simulated within the working radius were also found to be high with concentrations of $122.75{\pm}91.15ppm$ and $126.80{\pm}60.25ppm$, respectively. Nitrogen gas packing workers, who did not handle HCFC-123 directly, were exposed to the agent at a concentration of $71.80{\pm}8.49ppm$. These results suggest that exposure to HCFC-123 at high concentrations for 1.5-2.5 hours caused acute toxic hepatitis in two workers.

LNG저장탱크용 경질 폴리우레탄 폼의 발포에 많이 사용되어온 것은 CFC-11이었으며 현재 사용되고 있는 것은 HCFC-l4lb이다. 하지만 CFC-11과 이의 대안으로 사용되고 있는 HCFC-l4lb는 성층권에 존재하는 오존층(ozone layer)을 파괴하기 때문에, 선진국의 경우 CFC-11은 1996년부터 사용이 금지되어 왔으며 HCFC-141b도 2005년부터 사용이 금지될 예정이다. 이러한 국제적 제약으로 인해 이들 발포제를 대체할 차세대 발포제와 이를 이용한 폴리우레탄 폼에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 HFC계 발포제를 사용하여 합성한 경질폴리우레탄 폼의 물리적, 기계적 특성을 측정하였으며 이 결과를 HCFC-l4lb를 사용하여 합성한 경질폴리우레탄 폼의 특성과 비교하였으며 이로부터 LNG저장탱크용 단열재에 있어서 HFC계 발포제의 HCFC-l4lb대체가능성에 대하여 검토하였다.

Objectives: This study was performed to propose a domestic occupational exposure limit(OEL) following a health hazard assessment, calculation of a non-carcinogenicity reference concentration worker($RfC_{worker}$) value, and examination of international agencies' exposure limits. It also recommends legal management within the Occupational Safety and Health Act for HCFC-123, which caused an acute hepatotoxicity incident. Methods: An acute hepatotoxicity incident due to the fire extinguishing agent HCFC-123 was investigated. Toxicological hazard and health hazard classifications were examined and a non-carcinogenicity $RfC_{worker}$ value was calculated for HCFC-123. An OEL and the necessity of legal management were recommended as well. Results and Conclusions: An OEL for HCFC-123 of 10 ppm($62.5mg/m^3$), which considered the $RfC_{worker}$ value, 5.56 ppm, produced in dose-response assessment and the exposure level of 19.1-20.9 ppm measured as an eight-hour TWA(time-weighted average) in the incident place, is recommended. HCFC-123 is urged to be included as a chemical requiring legal management in the Occupational Safety and Health Regulations. In addition, it is recommended that a peak exposure of ACGIH be adopted in the Notice of the Ministry of Employment and Labor.

A super-heat pump system composed of a suction line heat exchanger, low and high stage economizers, and a screw compressor is simulated to examine the energy performance and design options. CFC12, HCFC22, HFC134a, HCFC22/HCFC142b, HFC32/HFC134a, and HFC125/HFC134a are used as working fluids for comparison. The results indicate that the proposed system charged with appropriate mixtures is up to 33.4% more energy efficient than the normal system with CFC12. The performance of the super-heat pump system charged with mixtures was influenced by such factors as the temperature matching, heat source temperature difference, low stage economizer, and high stage economizer. The fluids with a larger liquid specific heat such as HFC134a would have more benefits when a suction line heat exchanger is installed. 40%HCFC22/60%HCFC142b mixture seems to be a good candidate to replace CFC12. On the other hand, 25%HFC32/75% HFC134a would be a good long term candidate to replace HCFC22.
