신재생에너지 분야 중 특히 태양에너지를 이용하는 분야는 자원의 무한 및 청정성 때문에 그 사용량이 증가 추세에 있다. 우리나라에서 태양열에너지의 이용률이 전체 에너지 사용량 중 아직 미미한 실정이지만, 근래 정부의 정책적 지원에 힘입어 이 분야에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구는 외부 날씨의 영향을 받지 않고 실내에서 안정적으로 태양열집열기에 관한 실험을 수행할 수 있는 태양열집열기 성능검사 시스템을 구축하고 또한 새로운 형태의 열사이폰관형 태양열집열기를 연구 개발하여 기존의 이중진공관형 태양열집열기와 집열효율을 비교하고자 하였다. 그 결과 할로겐 램프를 이용한 실내 측정의 경우, 열사이폰관형 태양열집열기의 집열효율이 이중진공관형 태양열집열기보다 120분 직후 약 15~22% 증가하였다. 또한 실제 태양을 이용한 실외 측정의 경우도 열사이폰관 형 집열기가 이중진공관형 집열기보다 최대 약 46% 높았다.

Separate type thermosyphon has larger critical heat flux than non-loop type thermosyphon, because the flooding phenomenon of vapor and liquid occurring in non-loop one does not occur. The experimental study has been carried out separate type thermosyphon with single tube. An investigation of heat transfer characteristics in separate type thermosyphon is performed experimentally. Heat transfer coefficients in an evaporator and condenser were measured experimentally. The effects of liquid filling ratio, height difference, cooling temperature and heat flux on the heat transfer coefficients were examined. As a result, the reasonable range of the liquid filling ratio and the dependence of heat transfer on vapor temperature and heat flux are obtained.

지열, 풍력, 태양열에너지 등과 같은 신재생에너지 분야에 관한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있으나 전체 에너지 중에서 차지하는 비율은 아직 미미하다. 본 논문은 주열원인 열사이폰관형 태양열집열기와 보조열원인 X-L 파이프 보일러장치를 서로 결합한 하이브리드 난방시스템에 관한 연구이다. 특히 새로운 형태의 열사이폰관형 태양열집열기에 관한 성능 평가와 함께 보조열원장치의 성능 및 안전성에 대해 조사하였다. 그 결과, 열사이폰관형 태양열집열기는 이중관형 태양열집열기보다 집열효율이 그 구조적 특성 때문에 최대 20.7% 더 증가하였다. 또한 보조열원장치의 X-L 파이프 내 특수열매체는 순수 물보다 약 20% 더 빠르게 온도가 상승하였으며, X-L 파이프 보일러는 안정성 때문에 팽창압력 해소장치가 필요함을 확인하였다.

Flexible two-phase thermosyphons are devices that can transfer large amounts of heat flux with boiling and condensation of working fluid resulting from small temperature differences. A flexible two-phase thermosyphon consists of a evaporator, an insulation unit, and a condenser. The working fluid inside the evaporator is evaporated by heating the evaporator in the lower part of the flexible two-phase thermosyphon and the evaporated steam rises to the condenser in the upper part to transfer heat in response to the cooling fluid outside the tube. The resultant condensed working fluid flows downward along the inside surface of the tube due to gravity. These processes form a cycle. Using R134a refrigerant as the working fluid of a loop type flexible two-phase thermosyphon heat exchanger, an experiment was conducted to analyse changes in boiling heat transfer performances according to differences in the temperature of the oil for heating of the evaporator, the temperature variations of the refrigerant, and the mass flows. According to the results of the present study, the circulation rate of the refrigerant increased and the pressure in the evaporator also increased proportionally as the temperature of the oil in the evaporator increased. In addition, the heat transfer rate of the boiler increased as the temperature of the oil in the evaporator increased.

This study concerns the performance of condensing heat transfer in two-phase closed thermosyphons with various helical grooves. Distilled water, methanol, ethanol have been used as the working fluid. In the present work, a copper tube of the length of 1200mm and 14.28mm of inside diameter is used as the container of the thermosyphon. Each of the evaporator and the condenser section has a length of 550mm, while the remaining part of the thermosyphon tube is adiabatic section. A experimental study was carried out for analyzing the performances of having 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 helical grooves. A plain thermosyphon having the same inner and outer diameter as the grooved thermosyphons is also tested for the comparison. The type of working fluid and the numbers of grooves of the thermosyphons with various helical grooves have been used as the experimental parameters. The experimental results have been assessed and compared with existing theories. The results show that the type of working fluids are very important factors for the operation of thermosyphons. And the maximum enhancement (i.e. the ratio of the heat transfer coefficients the helical thermosyphons to plain thermosyphons) is $1.5{\sim}2$ for condensation.

This is an experimental study conducted to visualize the nucleate boiling phenomena and flow regimes occurring inside the liquid pool in a closed two-phase thermosyphon. To meet this purpose, an annular-type thermosyphon was designed and manufactured using a glass tube and a stainless steel tube, being assembled axisymmetrically. The heat to be supplied to the working fluid is generated within a very thin layer of stainless steel tube wall by applying a high frequency electromagnetic field through the induction coil, axisymmetrically set around the evaporator zone. Some important results were as follows ; 1) Considering the structural complexity of the tested thermosyphon, it showed good performance for the range of heat flux 2＜ q" ＜25kW/$m^2$ and saturation vapor pressure, 0.1＜Pv＜1.1bar 2) different type of nucleating boiling regimes were observed as described below, -Pulse boiling regime : Flow pattern changed cyclically with time during 1 cycle of pulse boiling process. The onset of Nucleation was followed by expulsive growing of vapor bubble, resulting in the so called blow-up phenomenon, massive expulsion of large amount of liquid around the bubble. -Transient : Some spherical vapor bobbles were observed growing out from 2~3 nucleating sites, that was dispersed at the lower part of the heated tube wall in the liquid pool. But the rest upper region above the nucleating sites were filled with churns or bubbles of vapor. -Continuous nucleate boiling regime : The whole zone of evaporator was filled with lots of spherical vapor bubbles, and the bubbles showed tendency to decrease in diameter as the heat flux increased.ased.
