The refrigerant R-134a flow distributions are experimentally studied for a round header/ten flat tube test section simulating a brazed aluminum heat exchanger. Three different inlet orientations (parallel, normal, vertical) were investigated. Tests were conducted with downward flow for the mass flux from 70 to $130\;kg/m^2s$ and quality from 0.2 to 0.6. In the test section, tubes were flush-mounted with no protrusion into the header. It is shown that normal and vertical inlet yielded approximately similar flow distribution. At high mass fluxes or high qualities, however, slightly better results were obtained for normal inlet configuration. The flow distribution was worst for the parallel inlet configuration. Possible explanation is provided based on flow visualization results.

Capillary tubes are widely used as expansion device in small refrigeration systems. The refrigerant flowing in the capillary tube experiences frictional and accelerational head losses and flashing simultaneously. In this paper flow characteristics of adiabatic capillary tubes were simulated with various friction factor models, two-phase viscosity models, and two-phase frictional multiplier models. The predicted pressure distribution and mass flow rate are compared with experimental data reported in literature. It is confirmed that the predicting accuracy with homogeneous model can be improved by employing suitable correlations of friction factor, two-phase viscosity and two-phase frictional multiplier.

Adiabatic demagnetization refrigerator (ADR) for hydrogen re-liquefaction operating between 24 K and 20 K has been designed. $Dy_{0.9}Gd_{0.1}Ni_2$, whose Curie temperature is 24 K, is selected as a magnetic refrigerant. The magnetic refrigerant powder is sintered with oxygen-free high purity copper (OFHC) powder to enhance its effective thermal conductivity as well as to achieve relatively high frequency. A perforated plate heat exchanger (PPHE) operated with forced convection is utilized as a heat switch. The forced convection heat switch is expected to have fast response relative to a conventional gas-gap heat switch. A conduction-cooled high Tc superconducting (HTS) magnet is employed to apply external magnetic field variation on a magnetic refrigerant. $2^{nd}$ generation GdBCO coated conductor HTS tape with Kapton$^{(R)}$ insulation (SUNAM Inc.) will be utilized for the HTS magnet. The magnetization and demagnetization processes are to be achieved by the AC operation of the HTS magnet. The designed magnetic field and target ramp rate of the HTS magnet are over 4 T with 180 A and 0.4 T/s, respectively. AC loss distribution on HTS magnet is theoretically estimated.

The running condition of multi-system air conditioner is prone to vary largely as it is designed for individual conditioning in each space of middle and small sized buildings. This leads to overcooling in case of partial load run, while the lack of capacity happens in case of full load run. Besides these, there exist such problems as instabilities due to the uneven refrigerant distribution caused by fluctuation of load and the change in piping line. Based upon the basic study on the function characteristics found in parts needed for maximized system working design in order to troubleshoot, the system functioning pattern should be identified through the different tests with various operating circumstances and the analysis models should be developed. With this ground, the control logic has to be made to have a control over capacity and make possible the efficient distribution of refrigerant.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the performance of outdoor heat exchanger for heat pump using carbon dioxide. Two types of fin and tube heat exchangers (2 rows for type A and 3 rows for B) are tested. Both heat exchangers have counter-cross flow and 1-circuit arrangement. Test results such as heat transfer rate, pressure drop characteristics and temperature distribution in the heat exchanger are shown with respect to mass flow rate of refrigerant and frontal air velocity For cooling mode, the minimum temperature difference between air and refrigerant of type B is smaller than that of type A by $1^{circ}C$, but the pressure loss of air side is much higher for type B by $29\%$. It is found that a large temperature gradient of carbon dioxide during gas cooling Process Promotes thermal conduction through tube wall and fins which results in degradation of heat transfer performance. For heating mode operation, type B heat exchanger shows higher heat transfer performance compared to type A. However, because pressure loss of refrigerant side of type B is much greater than that of type A, the refrigerant outlet pressure of type B becomes lower than that of type A.

식생활의 향상 및 다양화로 신선한 제품에 대한 요구가 증가하고 있으며, 이에 따라 냉장 및 냉동식품의 저온유통 또한 점차 증가되고 있다. 현재 냉동산업에는 주로 R134a 냉매가 사용되고 있으며 GWP(Global Warming Potential)가 1300으로써 매우 높아 지구온난화에 영향을 미친다. 이를 대체하기 위한 냉매로써 R1234yf 냉매가 있으며, GWP는 4로써 매우 낮다. 냉동탑차 냉장시스템에 사용되는 증발기는 저온조건에서 작동되기 때문에 서리가 형성되어 시스템의 성능을 급격히 감소시킨다. 따라서, 본 연구에서 R134a와 R1234yf 냉매를 작동유체로 사용한 증발기의 성능을 착상조건 하에서 다양한 운전조건으로 분석하였다. 해석결과, 서리성장 조건에서 공기측 입구온도, 상대습도, 증발온도 변화에 대하여 R134a 증발기의 성능이 R1234yf 증발기보다 더욱 민감하게 나타났으며 서리의 성장 또한 R134a 증발기가 더 크게 나타났다.

Real quality and axial void fraction distribution of subcooled refrigerant flow is very important to predict the heat transfer rate and pressure drop in the design of refrigerating system. In the subcooled boiling region, the liquid bulk temperature is still below the corresponding saturation temperature. But beyond the net vapor generation point, bubble detachment is occured actively from the vapor layer formed on the wall. A reliable method to predict the vapor fraction from the liquid bulk temperature is suggested in this paper. And also the actual quality of the subcooled R-113 flow is calculated in the range of 261-1239kg/$m^2$s mass velocity and 10-30K subcooling.
