현대 주택이 고기밀 고단열로 건축되기 때문에 에너지 절감의 이점이 있는 반면 오염된 공기로 인한 많은 부작용이 발생하고 있다. 이런 부작용을 해결하기 위해 환기장치를 사용하여 실내 공기 환경을 개선하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 폐열회수 환기장치의 일종인 히트파이프를 사용하여 작동유체 충진량 및 환기량에 따른 히트파이프의 환기성능을 시험적으로 평가하였다. 본 연구에서 사용된 히트 파이프는 환기장치에 적용이 가능하도록 분리형으로 제작되었다. 작동유체는 R22이고 유체의 충진량은 40~55(%vol.)로 5(%vol.) 단위로 충진 하였다. 환기량은 전면풍속을 기준으로 0.3~1.5m/s로 0.3 m/s 간격으로 바꿔 가며 측정하였다. 시험결과 최대 효율을 가지는 냉매 충진량이 환기량에 따라 다름을 알 수 있었고, 실험 결과 분석을 통하여 분리형 히트파이프의 환기량에 따른 최적 냉매 충진량을 찾을 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the performance of a transcritical cycle for hot water heating using $CO_2$ as a working fluid. Some of the main parameters that affect the practical performance of the $CO_2$ system are discussed; the performance on the variation of refrigerant charge, changes in flow conditions of secondary fluids, and that with or without internal heat exchanger, The experimental results show that the optimum charge is approximately the same for various mass flow rates of the secondary fluid at gas cooler. The experimental results on the effect of secondary fluids are in general agreement with the experimental results of transcritical cycle in the open literature and show similar trend for conventional subcritical vapor compression cycles. The heat exchanger effectiveness increases with an increase of the heat exchange area of the internal heat exchanger regardless of the mass flow rate at the gas cooler.

This experimental study presents the results of the cooling performance test of a $CO_2$ heat pump system for fuel cell vehicles. The experimental facility provides the cool ing and heating environment for cabin and heat releasing component. The test loop is designed to target the cooling capacity of 5kW and its coefficient of performance (COP) of 2.2. The cooling performance of the heat pump system is strongly dependent on the refrigerant charge and the degree of superheat. We carried out basic experiments to obtain optimum refrigerant charge and the degree of superheat level at the internal heat exchanger outlet. The heat pump system for fuel cell vehicles is different from that of engine-driven vehicles, where the former has an electricity-driven compressor and the latter has the belt-driven (engine-driven) compressor. In the fuel cell vehicle, the compressor speed is an independent operating parameter and it is controlled to meet the cooling/heating loads. Experiments were carried out at cooling mode with respect to the compressor speed and the incoming outdoor air speed. The results obtained in this study can provide the fundamental cool ing performance data using the $CO_2$ heat pump system for fuel cell vehicles.

The performance of a $CO_2$ heat pump water heater was measured with a variation of operating conditions such as refrigerant charge amount, outdoor temperature, compressor frequency, EEV opening, and water mass flow rate. The optimum refrigerant charge amount of the $CO_2$ system was 1800 g. At water mass flow rates of 75, 85, and 95 kg/h, the water heating temperatures were 74, 67, and $62^{\circ}C$ and COPs were 2.6, 2.8, and 3.0, respectively. Besides, the compressor frequency and water mass flow rate were adjusted to maintain the water heating temperature at $60^{\circ}C$ with the decrease of outdoor temperature. As the outdoor temperature decreased by $5^{\circ}C$, the compressor frequency increased beyond 60 Hz and the water mass flow rate decreased by 16.7%.

The applications of a transcritical $CO_2$ cycle into water heaters show advantages over conventional systems in the respect of power consumption and heating efficiency because the $CO_2$ cycle has a high compressor discharge temperature. Besides, the heating performance of the transcritical $CO_2$ cycle can be improved by optimizing operating conditions. In this study, the heating performance of a variable speed $CO_2$ heat pump was measured and analyzed by varying refrigerant charge amount, EEV opening, compressor frequency and outdoor temperature. As a result, the optimum normalized charge for heating was 0.226. The COPs at the compressor frequencies of 40, 50 and 60 Hz were 2.94, 2.75 and 2.25, respectively. The heating performance of the $CO_2$ cycle with charge amount was more sensitive than the cooling performance. Moreover, the heating performance was improved significantly by optimizing of compressor frequency and EEV opening.

This is an experimental study on the performance characteristics of effective heat pump in the cooling mode using a single-stage compression $CO_2$ cycle with an IHX(internal heat exchanger). The performance of a single-stage compression with IHX was investigated according to charge amount and operating condition. Moreover, the performance characteristic of cooling operating was analyzed with the length of IHX. As a result, the optimum refrigerant charge amount was 2.2 kg. The optimal system COP for compressor frequency of 30, 40, 50, and 60 Hz was 3.493, 3.228, 2.978, and 2.659, respectively. Since the system with IHX can maintain large cooling capacity regardless of operating condition, the system performance doesn't reduce considerably under unfavorable condition. When the compressor frequency was 40 Hz, the COP for a system with IHX length of 3 m and 5 m was 3.361 and 3.51, respectively. By using the IHX into a $CO_2$ cooling system, the performance and reliability improves simultaneously.

Because of improvement of living standards and increased use of ice at home, built-in ice makers are of interest. In this study, refrigeration cycle of a unitary ice maker for residential usage was optimized using R-404A. Optimization was achieved through a search for proper refrigerant charge amount. For the present ice maker producing ice for 24 cups, the optimum charge amount was 200 g. In this configuration, the ice making cycle time was 17 minutes 53 seconds, ice production was 1.27 kg/h and COP was 0.310. After initial start-up, condensation and evaporation temperatures gradually decreased with time. As ice builds in the cup, heat transfer performance of the evaporator decreases, that results in decrease of evaporation and condensation temperatures. Replacement of existing slit nozzles with individual circular hole nozzles improved ice production capacity by 10 percent. Through visualization of ice formation in the ice cup, growth rate of the ice in the cup was relatively uniform.

Drop-in tests were conducted using R290/R32 (31:69) mixture in an ice-cream maker for possible replacement of R-502 and R-404A. Optimum refrigerant charge and TEV opening were obtained through a series of experiments. At the standard outdoor condition ($35^{\circ}C$ DT, $24^{\circ}C$ WT), the time required for initial ice-cream making was 6'22", which was approximately the same as that of R-404A. The electric energy consumed was 660 kJ, which was about 10% higher than that of R-404A. The compressor outlet temperature ($8^{\circ}C$) and pressure (2.52 MPa) were higher than those ($60^{\circ}C$ and 1.48 MPa) of R-404A. The reason could be the usage of the same R-404A compressor although the specific volume of R290/R32 is much larger.

In this study, performance of R1234yf and R1234yf/R134a mixture is measured on a heat pump bench tester in an attempt to substitute R134a used widely in mobile air conditioners (MACs). The bench tester is equipped with a open type compressor providing a nominal capacity of 3.5 kW. All tests are conducted under the summer cooling and winter heating conditions of 7/4 $5^{\circ}C$ and $-7/41^{\circ}C$ in the evaporator and condenser, respectively. For R1234yf/R134a mixture, measurements are made at 5%, 10%, and 15% of R134a by mass. Test results show that the coefficient of performance (COP) and capacity of R1234yf are up to 2.7% and 4.0% lower than those of R134a, respectively. For R1234yf/R134a mixture, the COP and capacity are up to 3.9% lower and 3.6% higher than those of R134a. For R1234yf and R1234yf/R134a mixture, the compressor discharge temperature is $4.1{\sim}6.7^{\circ}C$ lower than that of R134a while the amount of charge is reduced up to 11% as compared to R134a. 90%R1234yf/10%R134a is a better refrigerant than pure R1234yf in that it is less flammable and more compatible with existing R134a system. Based upon the results, it is concluded that R1234yf and R1234yf/R134a mixture are long term environmentally friendly solutions to mobile air-conditioners due to their excellent environmental properties with acceptable performance.
