This paper addresses performance analysis of a reciprocating compressor. A computer simulation model has been developed to predict and estimate the compressor performance. Instead of using ideal gas equations, real gas equations are used in describing the state of gas. The compressor simulation model consists of a cylinder control volume, suction system and discharge system. Conservation laws of mass and energy are applied to the cylinder section only, The suction and discharge system are described by the Helmholtz resonator modeling. Some of input data required for the simulation have been obtained from experiments. These experimentally obtained input data are effective flow area, effective force area and dynamic characteristics of valves. Simulation results of real gas equations have been compared with those of ideal gas equations. It has been found that the simulation with real gas equations yields lower cylinder temperature and heat transfer compared with those of ideal gas equations. Differences in pressure, mass flowrates, valve motions and gas pulsations are found quite small.

Small hydropower has been considered as a solution to resolve the problem of exhaustion of fossil fuel and industrial pollution. In this study, we developed and tested a Cross-Flow Turbine with two guide vanes to optimize the small hydropower for the site condition with large fluctuation of head and flow rate. Furthermore, in the condition of constant inlet head, CFD analysis was carried out to analyze the effect of air suction and valve position on the performance characteristics. The results showed that the air suction can minimize the hydraulic loss caused by the Recirculation flow in the runner passage and flow impact on main shaft so that it can increase the turbine efficiency and output power.

The Miller cycle is a diesel engine that has been developed in recent years that it can reduce NOx and improve fuel consumption by reducing the compression ratio through intake valve closing (IVC) time control. The Miller cycle can be divided into the early Miller method of closing the intake valve before the bottom dead center (BDC) and the late Miller method of closing the intake valve after the BDC. At low speeds, the late Miller method is advantageous as it can increase the volumetric efficiency; while at medium and high speeds, the early Miller method is advantageous because of the high internal temperature reduction effect due to the expansion of the intake air during the piston lowering from IVC to BDC. Therefore, in consideration of the ef ects of the early and late Miller methods, it is necessary to adopt the most suitable Miller method for the operating conditions. In this study, a two-stage turbo charge system was applied to four-stroke engines and the process of enhancing the Miller effect through a reduction of the intake and exhaust valve overlap as well as the valve change adjustment mechanism were considered. As a result, the ef ects of fuel consumption and Tmax reduction were confirmed by adopting the Miller cycle with a two-stage supercharge, a reduction of valve overlap, and an increase of suction valve lift.

The cool-down performance after soaking is very important in an automotive air-conditioning system and is considered as a key design variable. Therefore, transient characteristics of each system component are essential to the preliminary design as well as steady-state performance. The objective of this study is to develop a computer simulation model and ostinato theoretically the transient performance of an automotive air-conditioning system. To do that, the mathematical modelling of each component, such as compressor, condenser, receiver/drier, expansion valve, and evaporator, is presented first of all. The basic balance equations about mass and energy are used in modelling. For detailed calculation, condenser and evaporator are divided into many sub-sections. Each sub-section is an elemental volume for modelling. In models of expansion valve and compressor, dynamic behaviors are not considered in this analysis, but the quasisteady state ones are just considered, such as the relation between mass flow rate and pressure drop in expansion device, polytropic process in compressor, etc. Also it is assumed that there are no heat loss and no pressure drop in discharge, liquid, and suction lines. The developed simulation model is validated by comparing with the laboratory test data of an automotive air-conditioning system. The overall time-tracing properties of each component agreed well with those of test data in this case.

Liquid valve is divided into cylinder and liquid part or composed of a single body structure. It becomes a connected structure to cylinder head after inserting stainless(STS) shaft to Teflon packing. In injecting and intercepting fluid, working efficiency becomes low because of the top and bottom round trip operation the friction between Teflon packing and STS shaft fluid leakage, decline of working environment, and each part replacement. And so target value is unattainable in productivity liquid valve design, quality, and structure change are studied. In this paper, designed to solve the existing problems basically, to prevent friction of Piston by developing diaphragm linked with piston, to satisfy long life, and to provide the prevention of leakage. The objective of the study is also to prevent remains fluid at nozzle tip after dispensing fluid, and bell close with the suction function in piston retreating.

In the air-conditioning industry, the refrigerant charging amount is one of the most important parameters affecting the energy efficiency ratio of heat pumps. An experimental study was performed on the characteristics of an inverter driven air-to-air heat pump system with a variation of compressor frequency and charging amount of refrigerant. The frequency was altered from 40Hz to 70Hz and the charging amount was changed from 1.6kg to 2.8kg in tests. The variation of performance was measured with switching of the expansion valve on each frequency and charging amount. All the tests were performed at the Korean Standard and test conditions of the air conditioners. As results, it was found that there existed the charging amount and the level of the suction gas superheat which provided the highest energy efficiency ratio at all the frequency bands.

A mathematical model is suggested for diagnosis on a reciprocating pump. To the end, kinematic, thermodynamic and fluidic analyses are carried out for a simplified reciprocating pump model. The pressure inside the cylinder is expressed as a function of the rotation angle of a crank axle. The mathematical model consists of one cylinder with suction and discharge valves and an accumulator. The effect of valve leakage on the discharge angle is investigated. The discharge angle difference between normal state and leakage state increases with the leakage extent.

An experimental studies of conventional gasoline fuel pump were carried out to obtain fundamental data fur liquid phase LPG injection(LPLi) system. A regenerative type and a roller-vane type of pumps were investigated in various operational condition. The experiments were performed to obtain flow rate of LPG fuel as a function of pressure differences and temperatures. The regenerative pump had too low flow rate at some experimental conditions to use this pump system for LPLi fuel supply system. On the other hand, the roller-vane type pump can be applied to the system only if its check valve is modified. Cavitation might occur in this system which can result in system noise, flow rate variation, and pump durability problem. To solve these problems the system is needed to increase $NPSH_{re}$(required net positive suction head).

Refrigerant flow rates of the multi-type air-conditioning system can be regulated by electronic expansion valves (EEV). The performance of the multi-type air-conditioning system may be improved by lowering the superheat at the compressor suction side. In this study, a superheat temperature setpoint reset algorithm was developed by using fuzzy logics, and a PI algorithm was applied to control the superheat temperature near setpoints. Experimental results showed energy savings and stable operations at a multi-type air-conditioning system. Therefore, the developed setpoint reset algorithm may be effectively used for the EEV superheat temperature control of the multi-type air-conditioning system.
