A crossflow finned tube evaporator has been investigated using tube-by-tube method. The refrigerant flows inside tubes while the air passes outside the finned tue. R134a for a refrigerant and wet air were used in this analysis. Three refrigerant circuitries, complex or simple, were compared. The effects of refrigerant circuitry and airside condensation on thermal performance such as heat transfer rate, enthalpy of refrigerant, temperature of refrigerant and air, pressure of refrigerant and average condensate layer thickness were investigated. It was found that this method could be applied to the analysis of finned tube evaporator for dehumidification and air conditioning.

An experimental study on the air-side pressure drop and heat transfer coefficient of slit fin-tube heat exchanger has been carried out. The data reduction methodology for air-side heat transfer coefficients in the literature is not based on a consistent approach. This paper focuses on new method of data reduction to obtain the air-side performance of fin-tube heat exchanger using R22 and recommends standard procedures for dry and wet surface heat transfer estimation in fin-tube heat exchanger having refrigerant on the tube-side. Results are presented as plots of friction f-factor and Colburn j -factor against Reynolds number based on the fin collar outside diameter and compared with previous studies. The data covers a range of refrigerant mass fluxes of 150∼250 kg/$m^2$s with air flows at velocity ranges from 0.3 m/s to 0.8 m/s.

Fin-tube evaporator for carbon dioxide has been investigated both by experiment and simulation. Inside refrigerant heat transfer and outside heat and mass transfer of a wet surface heat exchanger were modeled using appropriate correlations. The results estimated by the calculation were in good agreement with the experimental results. The simulation errors were less than 7.9% for estimating capacity, 0.6$^{\circ}C$ for air exit temperature, 1.2% for air exit humidity and 17% for $CO_2$ exit pressure. The simulation program was used to study the effect of air flow direction, number of rows and refrigerant circuits. For a 2-row evaporator, parallel flow showed better performance for low air velocity but for high air velocity, counter-flow was better. Refrigerant circuits, however, showed insignificant effect on the performance.

An experimental study was conducted to analyze the characteristics of the showcase refrigeration system during frosting and defrosting process. Test showcase was constructed with a cooling capacity of 3RT including 3 evaporators. The dynamic characteristics of the system under frosting and defrosting conditions were investigated. Refrigerant temperature and pressure of the system, dry bulb and wet bulb temperature of air passing through the evaporator, air flow rate and compressor power were measured.

This paper describes the potential advantages in applying evaporative cooling to air-cooled condensers. The cooling characteristics of an air-cooled condenser with its surface fully covered with thin water film are investigated and compared with that of an air-cooled condenser with usual dry surface. By applying the evaporative cooling, the cooling performance of the condenser is shown to improve enormously. When the outdoor air is 35$^{\circ}C$ and 40% in relative humidity, the condensing temperature of the refrigerant is decreased by 2$0^{\circ}C$. Even when the incoming air is fully saturated with water vapor, the evaporation from the wet surface occurs to cause a decrease in the condensing temperature by 1$0^{\circ}C$. The main reason for this improvement is assessed as the addition of an efficient cooling mechanism which is the water evaporation resulting in latent heat absorption.

열펌프건조기는 증발기에 의한 냉각및 감습기능과 응축기에 의한 가열기능을 대류형건조기와 연계시킴으로써 필연적 손실로 분류되던 배기가 갖고 있는 현열과 잠열을 회수하여 재활용할 수 있는 이점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 HFC134a를 냉매로 사용한 배치형(batch type) 열펌프건조기를 설계제작하여 건조실의 유지온도, 공기의 바이패스비(bypass ratio), 냉매의 과열도를 일정하게 유지하고 정면풍속(face velocity)과 압축기속도를 변화시켜 건조기의 성능을 분석하였으며 정면풍속의 증가에 따라 열펌프의 성적계수는 증가하나 SMER(Specific Moisture Extraction Rate)은 감소하였다.

The present study investigated the pressure drop and the total frost mass of the louvered fin type heat exchanger, which is widely used at the air-conditioning system. The pressure drop due to the frosting phenomenon and the total frost mass were investigated by changing the wet bulb temperature condition of the inlet air. Hence the brain of 55wt% was used as a cooling solution instead of a common refrigerant. The temperature difference between the brine and the tube outside wall at the outlet of heat exchanger was $10^{\circ}C$, at maximum, higher than that at the inlet of heat exchanger. As the wet bulb temperatures were increased, the pressure drop was linearly increased due to the increment of frost mass. And the increment of heat exchange rate was smaller than that of inlet air enthalpy due to the increment of frost mass. The pressure drop of air side was rapidly increased due to the progress of frosting phenomena. The run time that the pressure drop occurred rapidly was decreased by the growth of frost.

In this paper, OTEC(Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion) system with vapor-vapor ejector is newly proposed. And 6 wet refrigerants are applied into the proposed OTEC system for performance comparison. The results of comparison performance are as follows. In the view of system efficiency, R32/R744(90:10) has the highest efficiency among the 6 refrigerants. In case of evaporation capacity, pump work and mass flow rate of working fluid, R744, R717 and R717 is lowest value, respectively. As this results, the vapor-vapor ejector is able to increase the efficiency of system. And It is necessary to select the optimized working fluid considering environmental and economic factors.

물의 증발에 따른 냉각 효과를 이용하는 증발냉각방식은 기존 증기 압축식 방식에 비하여 냉방에 소요되는 에너지를 현저히 감소시킬 수 있고 CFC 냉매를 사용하지 않아 친환경적이다. 본 연구에서는 습채널의 물 퍼짐성이 개선된 플라스틱/종이 재질로 크기 $300mm{\times}300mm{\times}300mm$, 채널 핏치 $5mm{\times}5mm$, $5mm{\times}7mm$, $7mm{\times}7mm$의 직교류 간접증발소자를 제작하고 간접증발효율 및 압력 손실을 측정하였다. 간접증발효율은 채널 핏치가 가장 작은 $5mm{\times}5mm$ 소자의 가장 크게 나타났다. 이는 작은 $5mm{\times}5mm$ 소자의 전열 면적이 가장 크기 때문이다. 또한 간접증발소자 설치로 인해 절약되는 에너지도 $5mm{\times}5mm$ 소자에서 가장 크게 나타났다. 한편 습채널의 압력 손실은 건채널의 값보다 크게 나타났다. 이론 해석 모델은 간접증발효율과 압력손실을 과소 예측하였다.

본 연구에서는 슬릿 휜-관 열교환기의 공기측 압력강하 특성을 실험적으로 고찰하였다. 물을 작동유체로 사용한 기존의 실험은 공기측 압력강하에 대해 일관된 방법을 제시하지 못하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 R22를 적용하여 휜-관 열교환기의 전표면과 습표면에 공기측의 압력강하 특성을 나타내는 표준 방법을 제시하고자 하였다. 기존의 실험 상관식과 본 연구에서 제시한 실험 데이터를 증발기와 응축기의 설계조건에서 레이놀즈수와 f-factor의 관계식으로 나타내었다. 본 실험은 공기의 속도가 $0.38{\sim}1.6\;m/s$ 일 때 냉매의 질량 유속 범위를 $150{\sim}250\;kg/m^2s$하여 수행하였다.
