An experiment has been performed in order to investigate the characteristics of multiple thermoelectric modules (TEMs) with electrical circuits. The open circuit voltage of TEM connected parallel circuit is equal to the sum of individual TEMs. In contrast, the open circuit voltage is equal to the average of that individual TEM for a series circuit. The power output and conversion efficiency of TEM for both parallel and series circuits increase as the operating temperature conditions for individual TEMs becomes identical. Comparing parallel with series circuits, the power generation performance is more excellent for series circuit than parallel circuit. This result is attributed to the power loss from the TEM with better power generation performance.

To investigate the design effects of a heat exchanger on a tube type, a tube circuit and a fin pitch, an experimental study on the heat transfer characteristics of finned- tube evaporators was performed. The refrigerant was R-22. A refrigerant loop was established to measure the heat transfer rate, the air heat transfer coefficient. The experimental results showed that the heat transfer characteristics of the evaporators were affected by the design parameters. And the heat transfer rate of the slit fin was better about 25%, compared to those of the louver fin. In the present experimental range, the heat transfer performance with the straight tube circuit was more remarkable than that of the zigzag tube circuit, as seen from temperature variations of the evaporator exit. $\jmath$-factor on the tube type, the tube circuit and the fin pinch decreased, as increasing Reynolds number.

In order to develop a multi-type heat pump system with two indoor units of non-uniform capacities, the optimum refrigerant circuit was developed using capillary tubes. The refrigerant circuit was composed of four main parts, a heating circuit, a cooling circuit, a by-pass circuit and a balance circuit. The system characteristics of multi-type heat pump was investigated through the rating test and the reliability test, using the multi-type psy-chrometric calorimeter. The results of the rating test showed that the capacity of the multi-type heat pump was about 93% of the design value. In particular, the capacity of cooling single mode was about 13% higher than the design value, and the capacity of heating multi mode was about 5% higher than the design value. The reliability of the multi-type heat pump was verified by various reliability tests (overload, extension tube, freeze up, under/over charging, sweat, flood back). The optimal amount of refrigerant charge and compressor capacity were determined from the present work.

A new method is presented for developing a simulation program which can analyze the heat transfer characteristics of fin-tube heat exchanger. This method is able to describe several types of refrigerant circuit arrangement. The delivery path of air and refrigerant properties is simplified by transforming three-dimensional array into one-dimensional array. By comparing simulated results with experiment results, the deviation was 8.2%. Several fin-tube heat exchangers of different design factors and operating conditions were simulated using this program. It was shown that this program could be used for designing practical fin-tube heat exchangers.

The basic heat transfer process that occurs in a building can best be illustrated by an electrical circuit network. Present paper reports the dynamic simulation of annual energy consumption in an office building by the thermal resistance capacitance network method. Unsteady thermal behaviors and annual energy consumption in an office building were examined in detail by solving the simultaneous circuit equations of thermal network. The results are used to evaluate the accuracy of the modified BIN method for the energy consumption analysis of a large building. Present thermal resistance-capacitance method predicts annual energy consumption of an office building with the same accuracy as that of response factor method. However, the modified BIN method gives 15% lower annual heating load and 25% lower cooling load than those from the present method. Equipment annual energy consumptions for fan, boiler and chiller in the HVAC system are also calculated for various control systems as CAV, VAV, FCU+VAV and FCU+CAV. FCU+CAV system appears to consume minimum annual energy among them.

This paper reports the dynamic analysis of energy consumption for an office building by heat resistance-capacitance method. If a building is divided into several wall components and the wall components is replaced by one thermal capacitance and several thermal resistances, the building becomes an electric circuit. By solving the simultaneous equations of the circuit, the dynamic heat transfer characteristics and the energy consumption rate of the building were predicted. Accuracy of modified BIN method was evaluated by the present resistance-capacitance method. The result shows that modified BIN method overpredicts the heating load of the office building 15%. Annual energy consumptions of equipments(fan, boiler, chiller) for various ventilating control system(CAV, VAV, FCU+VAV, FCU+CAV) were compared. FCU+CAV shows the minimum annual energy consumption.

The interaction of laminar mixed convection and surface radiation in a two-dimensional channel with an array of rectangular blocks is analyzed numerically. Three blocks are maintained at high temperature and the other bottom and top horizontal walls are insulated. Discrete ordinate method(DOM) is introduced to analyze the radiative heat transfer. The effects of the variations of Reynolds number and channel specifications on the heat transfer characteristics are investigated. The average Nusselt numbers along the block surfaces are correlated and presented in terms of Reynolds number and dimensionless geometric parameters such as the block spacing, height and channel spacing. For the conditions considered in this study, average Nusselt numbers along the block surfaces are strongly influenced by the channel spacing and Reynolds number but weakly influenced by the block spacing and block height.

A newly developed type PCHE(Printed Circuit Heat Exchanger), which has a longitudinal corrugation flow channel, was fabricated using etching and diffusion bonding to evaluate its hydraulic performance. The pressure drop characteristics obtained from the experimental results are presented and the local friction factors associated with different hydraulic diameters and inclination angles are discussed. The results of a three-dimensional numerical simulation are presented, conducted using commercial CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) software at lower Reynolds number range. The numerical results were validated by experimental data obtained from helium gas experimental apparatus. The results of CFD prediction show fairly good agreement with the experimental data.

Longitudinal heat conduction is known to be an important factor in the design of a printed circuit heat exchanger(PCHE) for cryogenic applications. Parasitic heat conduction through the heat exchanger frame needs to be considered because it is known to decrease the effectiveness of the heat exchanger. In this paper, a conjugate heat transfer problem in a simple counter-flow PCHE is analyzed by a computational fluid dynamics simulation. The effect of longitudinal conduction in a straight channel is compared with the theoretical effectiveness-NTU relationship that assumes a "thin" heat exchanger frame. The calculation results suggest that the theoretical model is valid in the present calculation conditions where NTU is < 13.
