In this paper, we performed numerical analysis to improve the heat exchange efficiency of wasted heat recovery ventilator which has a delivery and a exhaustion fan. One of the most important design factors that affect the efficiency of heat exchange is uniform counter-flow between inbound and outbound air flows. We had simulated several types of porous plates which were installed at air intake area. With plate having 45 degrees of installation angle and 15 mm diameter holes which are uniformly arranged, we can generate a uniform air flows at the area of porous media where inbound and outbound air flows are cross over. In addition, we installed a duct to reduce vortex flows at the outlet and to discharge exhaust airs rapidly. By using the proposed numerical assessment, we expect the improvement of the heat exchange efficiency of ventilator.

This paper reports an experimental study on the performance evaluation of air-to-air heat exchanger with rotary type newly developed in this study. Air flow rate is varied from 10 to 120 m3/h. The range of RPM of the porous rotating discs mounted inside the heat exchanger unit is 0 to 50. The temperature of the return air side is set by adjusting heat supply at heater. The material of the porous rotating discs is cooper and its thickness is 1.0 mm. The heat transfer rate increased with the increase in air flow rate. It was found that the heat transfer rate, as the temperature of the return air side was increased, was improved due to higher temperature difference. The heat exchange performance increased with the increase in the temperature of the return air side at the conditions of the same RPM. The sensible heat exchange efficiency was maximum 68 to 76 percent, and enthalpy exchange efficiency 64 to 74 percent.

Heat recovery ventilator(HRV) is recommended to improve indoor air quarlity (IAQ) and energy conservation in apartment houses. Recently, in Korea, HRV is produced from many manufacturers. However, there have been not so many experiences to apply HRV in apartment houses and verification on the performance such as heat exchange efficiency, carry-over rate, internal leakage, etc. have not been carried out sufficiently. So in this study, fan performance, heat exchange efficiency, air leakage, internal exhaust leakage, external leakage and sound level of HRV were examined for selected HRV models under domestic and international standard. Results of performance test, there were need to improve latent heat exchange efficiency and sound level of HRV.

Nitrogen oxide(NOx) emission reductions are required to meet the strict emission regulations for environmental protection. Most of the Exhaust Gas Recirculation(EGR) system applied to a diesel engine can relatively decrease the NOx at a low cost, but it has a disadvantage in that the PM generation is promoted due to the hot intake air temperature. Thus, high heat exchange efficiency of the EGR cooler is required for an effective removal of NOx. In this study, heat exchange efficiency for various types of heat exchangers used in EGR cooler was measured under same conditions, and determined best heat exchange performance shape depending on type of heat exchanger.

The temperature of underground water generally remains constant regardless of the season. therefore, it is possible to get plenty of energy if we use characteristics of underground water for both cooling and heating. This study evaluates efficiency of real size coaxial and U-tube type complex geothermal system which is combined with underground water well. This study also evaluates relative efficiency/adaptability through comparison with existing geothermal systems(vertical closed loop system, open loop system(SCW)). The heat exchange capacity of complex geothermal system according to temperature difference between circulating water and underground water shows very high significance by increasing proportionally. The temperature change of underground water according to injection energy, shows very high linear growth aspect as injection thermal volume heightens. As a result of evaluation of heat exchange volume between complex geothermal system and comparative geothermal system, coaxial type has 26.1 times greater efficiency than comparative vertical closed type and 2.8 times greater efficiency than SCW type. U-tube type has 26.5 tims greater efficiency than comparative vertical closed type and 2.8 times greater than SCW type as well. This means complex geothermal system has extremely outstanding performance.

The experimental investigation was carried out to evaluate the performance of air-to-air heat exchanger with rotating porous plates newly developed in this study. The rotating porous plates are mounted with an equal interval of 18 mm inside the heat exchanger where the hot and cold airs enter at opposite ends. When flowing in opposite directions by the separating plate installed in the center of the rotating porous plates, the airs give and receive the heat each other. The material of the porous plate is cooper and its thickness is 1.0 mm. Air flow rate is varied from 10 to 120 m3/h. From the experiment of air-to-air heat exchanger with the rotating porous plates, the heat exchange performance increased with the increase in RPM of the porous rotating discs at the conditions of the same air flow rate. The sensible heat exchange efficiency was maximum 60 to 70 percent, and enthalpy exchange efficiency 50 to 60 percent.

화석연료의 무분별한 사용으로 인한 이산화탄소의 대기 중 방출은 지구의 연평균 기온을 상승시키는 원인으로 작용하고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위한 대체에너지로써 지열은 연중 일정한 온도를 갖는 무한자원이다. 지열에너지를 널리 보급하기 위해서는 히트펌프의 성능과 지중열교환기의 열교환 효율이 매우 중요하다. 이에 본 연구는 히트펌프의 성능을 증가시키기 위해 팽창변을 이중으로 구성하고 지중열교환기의 열교환 효율을 높이기 위해 입출관과 유입관 사이에 간격유지부재를 사용하여 실험하였다. 실험한 결과 팽창변을 이중으로 구성하였을 때 냉난방 능력이 최대 11.4%가 증가됨을 얻을 수 있었고, 간격유지부재를 사용 시 열교환 효율이 17.5% 향상되었다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 지열시스템의 설치 시 히트펌프의 성능과 지중열교환기의 열교환 효율의 상승으로 인해 설치비용이 많이 절감될 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, a test bed was constructed in order to evaluate thermal efficiency of the energy pile which carries out combined roles of a structural foundation and of a heat exchanger. The energy pile in this study is designed as a large-diameter drilled shaft equipped with the heat exchange pipes which configures a W-shape and an S-shape. The drilled shaft reached to the depth of 60 m whilst the heat exchange pipes were installed to about 30 m deep from the ground surface. The W-shaped and S-shaped heat exchange pipes were installed in the opposite sections of the same drilled shaft. In-situ thermal response tests were performed for both the shapes of heat exchange pipes. To avoid underestimating the thermal performance due to hydration heat of concrete inside the drilled shaft, the in-situ thermal response tests for the energy pile were performed after four weeks since the installation of the energy pile.

An earth tube soil air heat exchange system was designed, installed and operated as a single pass heat exchanger to utilize the geothermal energy as an natural energy source. This study was undertaken to investigate the potential of the heating and cooling, energy gain, heat exchange efficiency and coefficient of performance of the system. The system consisted of 30m in length and 30cm in diameter polyethylene pipes buried 2m deep in soil. Maximum heating and cooling performance were 2.51㎾ and 1.26㎾ at the air mass rate of 21cmm. Energy gain and coefficient of performance were the function of temperature difference between outside air and soil temperature. They were expressed as Q=0.33$ imes$$Delta T_{max}$+0.134(㎾) for energy gain and COP=0.44$ imes$$Delta T_{max}$+0.178 for coefficient of performance with correlation factor of 0.95. The mean of heat exchange efficiencies was 85.6%.

본 연구에서는 온실의 온풍식 난방시스템 연통에 장착할 수 있는 폐열 회수기의 성능 개선을 목적으로 기 설계된 세 가지 열교환 장치와 기존의 장치에서 열교환 면적과 파이프의 두께 및 공기흐름 방향을 개량한 새 열교환 장치에 대해 열회수 성능을 실험적으로 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 기존의 열 교환장치인 A형, B형 및 C형의 열회수 성능은 동일 송풍전입에서 각각 42.2%, 40.6% 및 54.4% 정도였으나 , 새로 개량된 D형은 69.2%로써 가장 현저히 높게 나타났다. 그러나 열회수용 공기의 흐름방향 변화에 따른 열회수 성능 개선효과 (A형 대비 B형)는 없는 것으로 나타나 적정 송풍기 용량이라면 직선형이 공기의 흐름방향 180${\circ}C$ 굴절시키는 헤어핀형보다 효과적인 것으로 판단된다. 결국 열회수 성능은 열회수 시스템의 열교환 면적과 열교환 파이프의 두께 및 풍속에 크게 좌우되는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 열교환 파이프의 내구성 등 을 고려하여 기능한 한 범위 내에서 열 교환면적을 증대시키거나 열교환 파이프의 두께를 앓게 하고 풍속을 증대시키는 것이 열회수 성능 개선효과와 직결됨을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 송풍기 용량이 필요이상으로 큰 경우, 소비전력이 많게 되는 등의 문제가 있기 때문에 적정용량 및 제품의 안정성을 고려하여 선택해야 할 것으로 판단되었다.
