Considering heat pipe design principles in fabrication and operational performances, water is one of the most recommended working fluids to make mid to low tempera lure heat pipes. But the conventional water heat pipes might encounter the failure in a cold start-up operation when socked at a chilling temperature lower than the freezing point. If they are subjected to a heat supply for start-up at a temperature around $-20^{\circ}C$, the rate of the vapor flow and the corresponding heat transfer from the evaporator to the condenser is so small that the vapor keeps to stick on the surface of the chilling condenser wall, forming an ice layer, resulting in a liquid deficiency in the evaporator. This kind of problems was resolved by Kang et al. in 2004 by adopting a gas loading heat pipe technology to the conventional water heat pipes. This study was conducted to examine a chilling start-up procedure of gas loading heat pipes by investigating the behaviors of heat pipe wall temperatures. And the thermal resistance of the gas loaded heat pipe that depends on the operating temperatures and heat loads was measured and examined. Two water heat pipes were designed and fabricated for the comparison of performances, one conventional and the other loaded with $N_2$ gas. They were put on start-up test at a heat supply of 30 W after having been socked at an initial temperature around $-20^{\circ}C$. It was observed that the gas loaded one had succeeded in chilling start-up operation.

Experimental study was performed to understand the real operation conditions of a showcase working usually in a convenient store and discount store. The purpose of this study was to show the possibility for practical use of cold-heat storage systems being operated for the showcase. To do that, evaporator and condenser temperatures were measured and the compressor electric power consumption were measured simultaneously. To use the ice storage system, the ice making process was typically operated during midnight being not needed the cooling of the showcase through the continuous running of the condenser unit. And then, the refrigerant was subcooled using the stored cold-heat after being discharged from the condenser during daytime. So, the cooling performance was increased with the sub-cooling of refrigerant during daytime,hence the actual running time of the compressor could be effectively decreased. Through the experiments, this study showed that the compressor electric power consumption during daytime could be transferred to nighttime for applying the refrigerant sub-cooling. So, for the convenient store, the maximum load transfer rates for each working cooler and showcase were estimated about 31.1% and 19.9% respectively. And for the discount store, the maximum load transfer rates for each refrigeration and freezing showcase were estimated about 34.1% and 49.0% respectively.

대부분의 어선에서는 포획된 어류를 관리하고 저장하기 위해 얼음 냉각 시스템을 사용한다. 그러나 얼음 냉각 시스템은 작동 시간의 제한뿐만 아니라 적절한 온도와 염분 농도를 유지하는 것이 어려운 단점이 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 어류 운반선의 어창에 적정한 해수온도 유지를 위한 해수 냉각 시스템용 만액식 증발 열전달 특성을 파악하는데 있다. 실험은 냉매의 해수 온도, 유량 및 포화 온도의 변화를 주며 열전달 특성을 파악하였다. 동일 열유속에서 Aluminium-Brass tube가 Copper-Nickel tube 보다 외측 열전달계수가 약 10% 큰 것으로 확인할 수 있었으며, 이를 통해 해수용 열교환기의 전열관으로 Aluminium-Brass를 적용하는 것이 열전달 측면에서 효과적일 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 만액식 단관 열전달계수와 18 kW급 만액식 해수냉각시스템의 총괄열전달계수의 비교를 통해 동일 조건에서는 25%정도 단관의 열전달계수가 큰 값을 나타내었으며, 이러한 결과는 만액식 관군 열교환기의 설계를 위한 중요한 자료가 되리라 판단된다.

해수 히트펌프를 이용한 냉동법 담수화시스템의 개발을 위한 시스템 설계 및 성능 해석을 수행하였다. 해수 히트펌프시스템의 열역학적 모델은 냉동사이클을 이용하였고, 이를 해수 담수화시스템에 적용하였다. 응축기의 유입 해수온도 및 증발기의 얼음 생성 비율에 따른 해수 히트펌프 시스템의 성능을 분석하고, 이에 따른 담수 생산량 및 담수 1kg 생산에 대한 소요 에너지 등 냉동법 담수화 시스템의 성능을 비교 분석하였다. 압축기 소요동력 및 응축기 용량은 응축기로 유입되는 해수온도가 감소함에 따라 감소하였다. 담수 1kg 생산에 따른 소요 에너지는 응축기 유입 해수온도가 $8^{\circ}C$일 때가 $20^{\circ}C$일 때에 비해 약28.9% 감소하였다.
