In this study, in order to develop relaxor ferroelectric ceramics for refrigeration device application with large electrocaloric effect and low sintering temperature, PLZT(8/65/35) ceramics was fabricated using conventional solid-state method with the variation of sintering temperature ($1,050^{\circ}C$, $1,100^{\circ}C$, $1,200^{\circ}C$). The XRD pattern of all specimens indicated general perovskite structure with secondary phase. From the results of temperature dependence of dielectric constant, the $T_C$ (ferroelectric-paraelectric phase transition temperature) was shifted toward high temperature with increasing sintering temperature. When the specimen was sintered at $1,100^{\circ}C$, the optimal value of ${\Delta}T{\sim}0.349^{\circ}C$ in ambient temperature of $215^{\circ}C$ was appeared. It is considered that PLZT(8/65/35) ceramics possess the possibility of refrigeration device application.

The applications of multi air-conditioners into multiplex and high-rise buildings have been increased by replacing central air-conditioning systems. The pipe length and altitude difference between the indoor and outdoor units can be increased based on installation conditions, which may increase the possibility of flash gas generation at the expansion device inlet. The flash gas generation causes rapid reduction of refrigerant flow rate passing through the expansion device, yielding lower system efficiency. Accumulator heat exchangers have been widely used in multi air-conditioners in order to minimize flash gas generation and obtain system reliability. However, the studies on the heat transfer characteristics and pressure drops of accumulator heat exchangers are very limited in open literature. In this study, the heat transfer rates and pressure drops of accumulator heat exchangers were measured with refrigerant flow rate and operating conditions by using R-22. The heat transfer rate increased with the increase of refrigerant flow rate, while subcooling decreased. The heat transfer rate enhanced with the reduction of inlet superheat and subcooling due to the increased temperature difference between the accumulator and inner heat exchanger.

To In this study, a nozzle which is designed to work as expansion device was installed in a refrigeration system and performance test was conducted. The nozzle has 0.8mm, 1.0mm, 1.2mm diameter and inserted in a body of the devices. System performance was compared with a electronic expansion device(EEV, electric expansion valve) and designed nozzles at the environmental conditions such as dry bulb and wet bulb temperature. To reduce energy loss in the evaporator, a nozzle was inserted into the evaporator. In the comparison test, the opening of the EEV was adjusted to the same diameter as the 3 nozzles, and the experiments conducted at a 27℃ dry bulb temperature and 19.5℃ wet bulb temperature with 50% relative humidity as defined at KS C 9306 standard. To find out the effect of the environmental condition, the bulb temperature was varied 5 degree lower and higher than the standard condition temperature with the same relative humidity condition at 50%. The air flow rate to the evaporator was also changed 4, 7 and 10 m³/min. As results, the temperature drop in the nozzle was 153% higher than that of the EEV and the enhancement of the performance(COP) was up to 125.7% if install the nozzles in the refrigeration system. The highest performance was obatained at 1.0mm diameter nozzle.

Recently, a problem related to the thermal management in portable electronic and telecommunication devices is becoming issued. That is due to the trend of a slimness of the devices, so it is not easy to find the optimal thermal management solution for the devices. From now on, a pressed circular type cooling device has been mainly used, however the cooling device with thin thickness is becoming needed by the inner space constraint of the applications. In the present study, the silicon flat plate type cooling device with the separated vapor and liquid flow path was designed and fabricated. The normal isothermal characteristics created by vapor-liquid phase change was confirmed through the experimental study. The cooling device with 70 mm of total length showed 6.8 W of the heat transfer rate within the range of $4{\sim}5^{\circ}C/W$ of thermal resistance. In the future, it will be possible to develop the commercialized cooling device by revising the fabrication process and enhancing the thermal performance of the silicon and glass cooling device.

Single-effect $CH_3OH-LiI-ZnBr_2$ and $C_2H_5OH-LiI$ absorption heat pumps are simulated to evaluate feasibility as heating device. These systems are predicted to give higher heating COPs in wide operating ranges compared to conventional systems. Among the two systems, the $C_2H_5OH-LiI$ system is found to be more advantageous for operating in extremely cold weather due to the large solubility of Lil in $C_2H_5OH$.

Flexure bearings have been used in linear-resonant compressors to maintain a non-contacting clearance seal between the piston and cylinder. There are two types of tangential cantilever bearing and spiral arm bearing with flexure bearings. A newly devised linear flexure bearing (KIMM-Ml) for compression refrigeration machines is disclosed having improved tight gas clearance maintaining capability for better system performance. KIMM-Ml is an integrated device comprising an axially moving diaphragm with circumferentially arranged arc-shaped flexure blades secured between rim and hub spacers, which turn out to have higher radial stiffness than the one with circumferential tangential cantilever flexure blades. It is expected for KIMM-Ml to play a key role in designing long life, special purpose compression refrigeration machines by providing frictionless, non-wearing, linear movement and radial support for the machines as well as a gas clearance seal by maintaining extremely tight clearances between piston and cylinder.

Energy consumption of air-conditioning and refrigeration systems is responsible for about 25 to 30% of the energy demand especially in hot seasons. This equipment is mostly electricity dependent and their use in principle affects negatively the environment. Enhancing the energy efficiency of the existing equipment is important as one of the measures to reduce environment impacts. This paper reports the results of an experimental study to evaluate the impacts of the use electronic expansion valve and variable velocity compressor on the performance of vapor compression refrigeration system. The experimental rig is composed of two independent circuits one for the vapor compression system and the other is the secondary fluid system. The vapor compression system is composed of a forced air condenser unit, evaporator, hermetic compressor and expansion elements, while the secondary system has a pump for circulating the secondary fluid, and an air conditioning heat exchanger. The manufacturer's data was used to determine the optimal points of operation of the system and consequently tests were done to evaluate the influence of variation of the compressor velocity and the opening of the expansion device on the performance of the refrigeration system. A fuzzy logic model was developed to control the rotational velocity of the compressor and the thermal load. Fuzzy control model was made in LabVIEW software with the objective of improving the system performance, stability and energy saving. The results showed that the use of fuzzy logic as a form of control strategy resulted in a better energy efficiency.

폐수 열원 히트펌프 시스템은 목욕탕, 공장 또는 하천수 등을 히트펌프의 열원으로 사용한다. 증발기는 폐수로부터의 오염을 완화시키기 위하여 휜이 없는 나관식(bare tube) 열교환기가 주로 사용되고 있다. 대부분의 열 저항은 관외를 흐르는 폐수측에 생성되는 파울링에 의한 것이며, 히트펌프의 성능을 급격하게 감소시킨다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 나관식 열교환기 하부에서 버블 유동층을 형성시키고 세정 볼을 사용하여 관 외측의 파울링을 저감시키는 장치를 개발하였다. 실험 조건으로, 냉수온도 $20^{\circ}C$, 폐수 온도 $40^{\circ}C$, 관 내측 유량 100L/h, 수조 내 물의 양 50L, 열교환기 면적 $0.161m^2$ 이다. 실험결과 세정 볼 없이 버블유동층만 형성한 경우에는 버블유동층이 없는 경우에 비해 파울링에 의해 생성된 열 저항이 약 56% 감소되었으며, 세정 볼의 개수 밀도가 8,000(Number of $ball/m^3$) 일 때, 파울링에 의해 생성된 열 저항은 버블유동층 및 세정 볼이 없을 때와 비교하여 약 86% 감소되었다.
