In this paper, we propose an approach to design multi-fuzzy controllers for the superheat and the low pressure that have an influence on energy efficiency and stabilization of air conditioning system with multi-evaporators. Air conditioning system with multi-evaporators is composed of compressor, condenser, several evaporators and several expansion valves. It is quite difficult to control the air conditioning system because the change of the refrigerant condition give an impact on the overall air conditioning system. In order to solve the drawback, we design multi-fuzzy controllers which control simultaneously both three expansion valve and one compressor for the superheat and the low pressure of air conditioning system. The proposed multi fuzzy controllers are given as a kinds of controller types such as a simplified fuzzy inference type. Here the scaling factors of each fuzzy controller are efficiently adjusted by Hierarchical Fair Competition-based Genetic Algorithms. The values of performance index of the simulation results of the A company type compare with simulation results of simplified inference type.

Bubble jet loop heat pipe is what heat pipe operate in the horizontality. It is consist of one heating part creating bubble and one rounded U tube type radiator. This study shows whether the heat pipe operates well in the horizontality or not, and what optimized refrigerant charging rate is in the tube. But flow visualization of bubble jet heat pipe was not known. The purpose of this study is to visualize bubble jet loop heat pipe. The experiment was performed by changes of charging rate. Working fluid was R-141b. And heater of 220 V & 100 W was used. we take a photograph of flow visualization of bubble jet loop heat pipe in slow motion.

This study is simulation of high elevated liquid line of a modular heat pump system to observe longitudinal subcooling variation. In a high elevated tube, subcooled refrigerant(R410A) through a condenser changes its states by heat transfer with surrounding air and by pressure drop from elevation. In this study, the liquid line was simulated through correlations of heat transfer and pressure drop for the variation from single-phase into two-phase flow. Pressure drop, heat transfer rate and vapor quality were calculated as key parameters. Two-phase turning heights and variations of the key parameters were confirmed from the simulation. As a result, high elevation of liquid line has great influence on upward flow, which requires additional equipment to compensate the variation.

Refrigeration plants using absorption principles have been around for many years with initial development taking place over 100 years ago. Although the majority of absorption cycles are based on water-LiBr cycle, many applications exist where ammonia-water can be used, especially where lower temperatures are desirable. In both systems water is used as working fluid, but in quite different ways: as a solvent for the ammonia system, and as refrigerant for the lithium bromide system. This explains that the lithium bromide absorption system is strictly limited to evaporation temperatures above $0^{\circ}C$. The main industrial applications for refrigeration are in the temperature range below $0^{\circ}C$, the field for the binary system ammonia-water.

Recently, focus has been drawn on natural refrigerants due to increasing concern on global warming. As a consequence, CO2 systems such as a heat pump water heater using CO2 as a refrigerant are rapidly growing on the market. Currently, rolling piston rotary compressors are widely used for CO2 heating and/or refrigeration systems. There are several ways of realizing gas compression structure. They are single stage compression with single cylinder, single stage compression with two cylinders, and two stage compression with two cylinders. In this paper, computer simulation program which was validated for a single stage rotary compressor with one cylinder has been extended for a single stage, two cylinder rotary type. Numerical investigation has been made on optimal design for the cylinder configuration using the extended simulation program. For a single stage two cylinder rotary compressor having a displacement volume of 4 cc for each cylinder, compressor efficiency has been found to be maximum when the cylinder radius and height are 31mm and 10mm, respectively.

This study optimized the condenser dimension of heat pump system with the heat sources which are solar irradiation and ambient air. At first, the author selected the principal design factors influencing the performance of heat pump system. And the author considered the variation of condenser dimension according to the variation of the selected design factors, that is, ambient air temperature, condenser temperature, degree of superheating, degree of sub-cooling and irradiation. As a result this study, among refrigerants R12, R22 and R500, refrigerant R22 has more heating output than R12 and R500, and the coefficient of performance on this heat pump system is not greatly influenced by the degree of superheating and degree of sub cooling. The ambient air temperature is below $5^{\circ}C$ at balance point and the optimal tube length of condenser dimension is about 3.8 m. Also the author gained the optimal design diagram for the optimization of condenser dimension according to various design factors.

A thermoelectric cooler (TEC) is promising as an alternative refrigeration technology for the sake of its inherent advantages; no-moving parts and refrigerant-free in its operation. Due to the compactness, reliability and excellence in temperature stability, TECs have been widely used for small cooling devices. In recent years, thermoelectric devices have been attractive technologies that not only serve the needs of cooling and heating applications but also meet the demand for energy by recycling waste heat. In this research paper, multistage TEC is proposed as a concept of demonstrating the idea of transient cooling technology. The key idea of transient cooling is to harnesses the thermal mass installed at the interfacial level of the stages. By storing heat temporally at the thermal mass, the multistage TEC can readily reach lower temperatures than that by a steady-state operation. The multistage TEC consists of four different sizes of thermoelectric modules and they are operated with an optimized current. Once the cold-part of the uppermost stage is reached at the no-load temperature, the current is successively supplied to the lower stages with a certain time interval; 25, 50 and 75 seconds. The results show the temperatures that can be ultimately reached at the cold-side of the lowermost stage are 197, 182 and 237 K, respectively. It can be concluded that the timing or total amount of the current fed to each thermoelectric module is the key parameter to determine the no-load temperature.

To reduce energy consumption and CO₂ emission in building sector, a ground source heat pump system has been highly adopted due to its high efficient by many regulation. A certification system has been operated to distribute reliable and high-efficient heat pump units. In this study, the performance status of the recently certified ground source heat pump unit with components was investigated. All heat pump units certified from 2015 to 2020 were water to water heat pump types. Compared to the past, higher capacity systems over 400 kW have been certificed. The cooling COP of the heat pump unit based on certification criteria showed higher value than the heating COP. It is highly recommended to revise the certified criteria values considering operating conditions individually. Most of ground source heat pump units have employed scroll type compressors and plate type heat exchangers with HFC refrigerant.

본 연구에서는 $CO_2$ 열펌프에 사용되는 내부 열교환기를 난방조건에서 운전할 경우, 실험 및 수치적 방법으로 열전달량, 효율, 압력강하 등을 관찰하였다. 4가지 종류의 내부 열교환기를 사용하였다. 수치 해석은 단면분할법과 하디크로스 방법을 이용하여 유량, 길이, 운전조건, 내부 열교환기 종류에 따른 영향을 분석하고 실험을 통해 확인하였다. 유량이 증가함에 따라 열전달량이 약 25% 향상되었다. 마이크로 채널이 동심관에 비해 열전달량이 약 100% 크게 나타났다. 길이가 증가함에 따라 열전달 증가율은 감소하였다. 압력강하는 고압측에 비해 저압측이 크게 나타났으며, 동심관에 비해 마이크로 채널이 약 100% 크게 나타났다. 고온입구조건이 증가할수록, 저온입구조건이 감소할수록 열전달량은 약 3% 증가하였다. $CO_2$의 열전달 계산의 정확성을 위해 $CO_2$의 특성과 관형상을 고려할 수 있는 열전달 상관식의 개발이 필요하다.
