내부열교환기를 이용한 에어컨 시스템은 작동유체인 R134a의 고압측 액상냉매와 저압측 기상냉매의 상호 열교환을 통해 시스템의 응축 효율을 증가시켜 에너지 효율을 개선시킨다. 이는 에어컨 시스템의 성능 향상 및 경량화를 가능하게 하여 차량 연비 향상과 냉매 누출을 최소화할 수 있으며, 또한 현 R134a 대비 대체냉매 (R1234yf 등)의 동등 냉방성능 확보를 가능하게 하는 기술이다. 본 연구에서는 내측 압출 파이프 및 외측 사이 고효율 냉각 휜 (fin)이 삽입된 이중관 형태의 내부열교환기 상세 설계를 위해, 냉각 휜의 높이 및 내측 압출 파이프 내부형상 등의 다양한 형상 설계인자 변경에 따른 열전달 성능 및 압력강하 특성을 살펴보았다. 가장 우수한 내부열교환기 성능은 난류형성을 위한 내측관 형상이 라이너 및 세레이션 겸용 타입이었으며, 이는 내부열교환기가 장착되지 않은 경우보다 냉방시스템 성능이 약 6.4%, 시스템 COP는 약 9.2% 향상된 결과를 나타내었다.

It is estimated that only heating and cooling take about one third of the total energy consumption worldwide. However, the conventional heating and cooling systems have low efficiencies. Also, boilers and electric heaters that are mostly used to generate both domestic and industrial hot water are inefficient and high energy consumers. For this reason, cascade heat pumps which are known to be very energy efficient and have less environmental impact are being promoted to replace conventional heating, cooling and hot water systems. In this study, a newly designed cascade heat pump by two-stage water heating method has been experimentally investigated. By adopting the auxiliary heat exchanger, the performance of the system was increased. The performance enhancement rate of the system could be maximized by adjusting the low stage compressor speed rather than the high stage compressor speed. The performance of the system with the auxiliary heat exchanger was enhanced by 16.5%.

The Energy is the basis for almost all industrial activities and domestic needs. But recently there are increasing concerns internationally over environmental problems and consequent climate changes caused by the excessive use of fossil fuels. Furthermore the price of crude oil is increasing steadily with unstable supplies. In order to solve these national energy problems, the utilization of Ocean Energy is introduced as one of the best alternative technologies for the future. OTEC Power Plant has been installed at the West Inchon Power Plant Site. Temperature differences of $20{\sim}25^{\circ}C$ have been utilized for plant operations, where R22 is used as a working fluid. The system is composed of low pressure turbine, plate type heat exchanger, and pumps. In the present investigation the experimental results, such as gross power, net power and objective function, are analysed when temperature differences change from the reference design point.

고공 환경에서의 점화 연소 특성을 확인하기 위해 선행되어야 할 저압/저온 환경 모사 및 연료 유량 제어 실험을 수행하였다. 저압 환경을 모사하기 위하여 초음속 디퓨저를 이용하였고, 공기 유량 공급 및 디퓨저 1차 전단 노즐 압력에 따라 다양한 고도의 저압 환경을 조성할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 저온 환경을 모사하기 위해 액체 질소를 이용한 열교환기를 활용하였고, 혼합 탱크로 유입되는 극저온/상온 공기 온도 조건을 일정하게 유지할 경우 다양한 공기 유량 조건에서 혼합 공기의 온도는 극저온/상온 공기의 혼합비에 의해 결정됨을 알 수 있었다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서 구축한 고고도 환경 모사 시스템을 활용하여 다양한 고도 조건에서의 점화 및 연소 특성 실험 수행이 가능함을 입증하였다.

Ferritic stainless steels of the 400 series have been available for automotive exhaust system, heat exchanger, radiater etc. in various industrial because heat resistance, corrosion resistance and strength are excellent. Especially, automotive exhaust system is required good heat resistance because typical temperature of exhaust system exposed during operation of engine is reach up to $800^{\circ}C$. However, research for effect of high temperature in ferritic stainless steels is not enough. In this study, high temperature tensile properties of lap weld of ferritic stainless steels(STS 429) were investigated. In accordance with heat input, lap welds had been produced and were evaluated at high temperature($800^{\circ}C$) to compare high temperature tensile properties. In addition, room temperature tensile tests were carried out for non-aging and aging specimens. As a result of R.T tensile test, non-aging specimens were fractured in base metal except for low heat input specimen and aging specimens were fractured in weld metal. Also high temperature tensile test were carried out by aging specimen. After high temperature tensile test, fracture of aged specimen was occurred in base metal except for low heat input specimen. Fracture surface of low heat input specimen in weld metal was confirmed as brittle fracture with observation using scanning electron microscope(SEM). Significant decrease in ultimate tensile strength (between 82 and 85%) was observed for aged ferritic stainless steels(STS 429) when tested at high temperature.

The evaporating temperature range required for the low temperature freezing system is from $-50^{\circ}C$ to $-30^{\circ}C$. Since it is difficult to keep the required capacity in a cabinet, it is advantageous to design the system using a cascade refrigeration system. Use of carbon dioxide and ammonia would be advantageous since ammonia is an environment-friendly working fluid and has a high capacity for performance improvement. To investigate the performance characteristics of the R744-R717 cascade refrigeration system, a theoretical model was developed and performance was analyzed according to cascade heat exchanger operating temperature. The optimal cascade R744 condensing temperature was $-5^{\circ}C$, and maximum COP was 1.13 when the temperature difference of the cascade heat exchanger was $5^{\circ}C$. In addition, the total system COP increased by 1.17 when the cascade temperature gap was $3^{\circ}C$ at the middle temperature of $-7.5^{\circ}C$.

이산화탄소 냉매 시스템용 내부 열교환기의 성능을 조사하기 위하여 4종류의 내부 열교환기를 사용하여 냉방운전조건에서 실험을 수행하였다. 내부 열교환기의 길이, 관 개수, 운전조건, 형상 변화에 대한 영향이 연구되었다. 내부 열교환기 길이가 증가할수록 능력과 효율은 향상되었다. 압력강하는 고압측보다 저압측에서 더 크게 나타났다. 가스쿨러의 온도가 높아질수록 능력과 효율은 선형적으로 증가하였으며, 증발기의 운전조건은 과열도보다는 이상영역을 설정하면 효율증대 효과 측면에서 유리하였다. 마이크로 채널의 경우가 튜브보다 능력과 효율이 크게 우수하였지만 압력강하 측면에서는 크게 불리하였다.

Geothermal heat pump systems use the earth as a heat source in heating mode and a heat sink in cooling mode. These systems can be used for heating or cooling systems in farm facilities such as greenhouses for protected horticulture, cattle sheds, mushroom house, etc. A horizontal type means that a geothermal heat exchanger is laid in the trench buried in 1.2 to 1.8 m depth. Because a horizontal type has advantages of low installation, operation and maintenance costs compared to a vertical type, it is easy to be adopted to agriculture. In this study, to heat and cool farm facilities and obtain basic data for practical application of horizontal geothermal heat pump systems in agriculture, a horizontal geothermal heat pump system of 10 RT scale was installed in greenhouse. Heating performance of this system was estimated. The horizontal geothermal heat pump used in this study had heating COP of 4.57 at soil temperature of 14$^{\circ}C$ for depth of 1.75m and heating COP of 3.75 at soil temperature of 7$^{\circ}C$ for the same depth. The stratification of water temperature in heat tank appeared during the whole heat rejection period.

Purpose: This study was conducted for enhancing the performance of a conventional quick freezer by introducing the supercooling state, using a low-temperature coolant. Methods: In the present investigation, the supercooling process was executed prior to quick freezing for reducing the time by which the temperature passes the zone of maximum ice crystal formation. Every food has different nucleation points and hence, we used silicone oil as the coolant for supercooling for easy modification of temperature. Additionally, for quick freezing, we used liquid nitrogen spray. Results: Using the heat exchanger-type precooler with silicone oil, the temperature of the chamber was easily changed for enabling supercooling. Particularly, the results of the freezing test with garlic indicated that this system improved the hardness of garlic after it was thawed, compared to the conventional freezing method. Conclusions: Before quick freezing, if the food item is subjected to the supercooling state, the time from nucleation to the temperature reaching the frozen state ($-5^{\circ}C$, which is the maximum ice crystal formation zone) will be shorter than that incurred using quick freezing alone. The combination of the heat exchanger-type supercooler and liquid nitrogen sprayer is expected to serve as a promising technology for improving the physicochemical qualities of frozen foods.
