본 연구에서는 공랭식 VI(Vapour-Injection) 사이클을 적용한 R410A용 고성능 하절기 냉방 열펌프의 성능 특성을 실험적으로 규명하였다. 실험에 사용한 장치는 VI 압축기, 응축기, 유분리기, 판형열교환기, 에코노마이져(economizer), 증발기, 그리고 재냉기(re-cooler)로 구성하였다. 냉방 성능 실험 조건은 다음과 같이 3가지 사이클로 VI 사이클을 적용하고 증발기 출구 냉매와 VI사이클 흡입 냉매가 재냉기에서 서로 열교환 하지 않는 사이클(사이클 A)과 열교환을 하는 사이클(사이클 B), 그리고 VI 사이클도 적용하지 않고 증발기 출구 냉매와 VI 사이클 흡입 냉매와의 열교환도 없는 사이클(사이클 C)로 구분하였다. 분석 결과, 냉방 성능은 증발기 출구 냉매와 VI사이클 흡입 냉매가 서로 열교환하는 VI사이클(사이클 B)이 가장 높았으며 VI사이클을 적용하지 않은 사이클 C가 가장 낮음을 알 수 있었으며, 사이클B의 냉방성능계수($COP_C$)가 평균 3.5로 사이클A보다 8.6%, 사이클C보다 33% 높은 값을 나타내었다.

In this study, the characteristics of heating performance of a high-performance air-cooled heat pump with vapor-injection(VI) cycle using re-heater was investigated experimentally. Devices used in the experiment is consist of a VI compressor, condenser, oil separator, refrigerant (economizer outlet refrigerant) re-heater, economizer, evaporator. And R410A was used as a working fluid. The experiment was conducted with two cycles(cycles A and B) for investigating heating performance. In case of cycle B, heat exchange was conducted by re-heater between outlet refrigerant of compressor and suction refrigerant of the VI system(Fig.1, re-heater). But the re-heater was not used in case of cycle A. As a result of this experiment, discharge temperature of refrigerator in compressor was shown higher value, when the cycle B was conducted, because of the heat exchange between suction refrigerant of VI cycle and outlet refrigerant of compressor in the re-heater than cycle A that was not use re-heater. it means that liquid hammer and the decrement of heating performance can be decreased by using re-heater. Also, Heating coefficient of performance(COPh) was shown about 2.98 in Cycle B which was 4% higher than Cycle A and from these results, It was confirmed that the improvement of the heating performance of heat pump with VI cycle can be achieved by applying re-heater.

In this study, heating performance of the air-cooled heat pump with vapor-injection (VI) cycles, re-heater and solar heat storage tank was investigated experimentally. Devices used in the experiment were comprised of a VI compressor, re-heater, economizer, variable evaporator, flat-plate solar collector for hot water, thermal storage tank, etc. As working fluid, refrigerant R410A for heat pump and propylene glycol (PG) for solar collector were used. In this experiment, heating performance was compared by three cycles, A, B and C. In case of Cycle B, heat exchange was conducted between VI suction refrigerant and inlet refrigerant of condenser by re-heater (Re-heater in Fig. 3, No. 3) (Cycle B), and Cycle A was not use re-heater on the same operating conditions. In case of Cycle C, outlet refrigerant from evaporator go to thermal storage tank for getting a thermal energy from solar thermal storage tank while re-heater also used. As a result, Cycle C reached the target temperature of water in a shorter time than Cycle B and Cycle A. In addition, it was founded that, as for the coefficient of heating performance($COP_h$), the performance in Cycle C was improved by 13.6% higher than the performance of Cycle B shown the average $COP_h$ of 3.0 and by 18.9% higher than the performance of Cycle A shown the average $COP_h$ of 2.86. From this results, It was confirmed that the performance of heat pump system with refrigerant re-heater and VI cycle can be improved by applying solar thermal energy as an auxiliary heat source.
