A series of numerical simulation has been carried out to study thermo-hydraulic characteristics of a primary surface type heat exchanger, which is designed for the evaporator and condenser of a geothermal ORC. Working fluid is geothermal water at hot side and R-245fa, which is a refrigerant designed for ORC, at cold side. Amplitude ratio of the channel and Reynolds number are considered as design parameters. Nusselt number is presented for the Reynolds number ranging from 50 to 150 and compared to analytic solutions. The result shows that higher amplitude ratio channel gives better heat transfer performance within the range of investigation.

A newly developed type PCHE(Printed Circuit Heat Exchanger), which has a longitudinal corrugation flow channel, was fabricated using etching and diffusion bonding to evaluate its hydraulic performance. The pressure drop characteristics obtained from the experimental results are presented and the local friction factors associated with different hydraulic diameters and inclination angles are discussed. The results of a three-dimensional numerical simulation are presented, conducted using commercial CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) software at lower Reynolds number range. The numerical results were validated by experimental data obtained from helium gas experimental apparatus. The results of CFD prediction show fairly good agreement with the experimental data.

The radiation heat-transfer coefficient is generally used to calculate radiant heat exchange of heating space. The coefficient is evenly adopted in most cases, but it is not correct in actual cases. The purpose of this paper is to grasp the changing aspect of radiation heat-transfer coefficient needed for heating load calculation of radiant heating space. Surface temperatures are measured in an Ondol space, and the coefficients are derived and examined. Gebhart's Absorption Factor Method is used for the calculations of the rates of instantaneous radiant exchange in the room. As the result, it is confirmed that the coefficients are variant according to surface temperatures, and proper coefficients are needed for each of conditions.

In most cases, EER(Energy Efficiency Ratio) is available to present energy efficiency of air-conditioners. But, EER is not adapt to measure energy efficiency at actual life environment because it is based on fixed temperature and humidity contditions. To overcome this disadvantage, there is need to introduce SEER(Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) established at time varient temperature and humidity conditions. In this paper, SEER measurement method and conditions based on actual life environment of the country is introduced, and discussed SEER value about two air-conditioner type, that is, non inverter air-conditioner and inverter air-conditioner. As a result of, inverter air-conditioner was superior to non inverter air-conditioner at cooling seasonal energy efficiency.

The inside of EMU is supplied with the cooling air from air-conditioner and the fresh air from exterior through the air-conditioner duct which is one of the air conditioning system. The shape of air-conditioner duct is a major factor in determining the air-conditioning efficiency, thermal comfort and energy efficiency. Therefore, this study is to understand the flow characteristics in the air-conditioner duct by three dimensional numerical simulation. The air-conditioner duct was calculated for the design volume flow rate, $2,726\;m^3/h/unit$. From the result of calculation and measurement, the velocity at diffuser outlet presented good agreement in general. [n this present study, the calculation was also performed for three volume flow rate(1,800, 2,200, 3,000 $m^3/h/unit$) and total pressure characteristic curve with volume flow rate was presented.

To investigate hydraulic and thermal characteristics of ice slurries in a circular tube, ice slurries were tested in a flow loop with a constant heat flux test section, for ranges of flow velocity, ice fraction and heat flux. Heat transfer coefficients and friction factors of ice slurries were calculated by measuring the outer wall temperatures of the test section and the pressure drops over the test section. Heat transfer coefficients of ice slurries were 9% higher than the heat transfer coefficients expected by Petukhov. Friction factors were about 4% lower than the friction factors expected by Petukhov. The effective thermal capacity of ice slurry with 12.8% ice fraction, was found to be about 3 times higher than the thermal capacity of water.

In this study, in-situ performance test of a wet surface finned-tube evaporator of an air source heat pump which has a rating capacity of 20 RT is carried out. Since test conditions, such as indoor and outdoor air conditions cannot be controlled to satisfy the standard test conditions, experiments are done with the inlet air conditions as they exist. From the experimental data, air side heat and mass transfer coefficients were calculated by the well known heat and mass transfer analogy and tube-by-tube method. Since current procedure underpredicted the experimental sensible heat factor (SHF), a proper empirical parameter was introduced to predict the experimental data with satisfactory results. This study provides the method of evaluating the heat and mass transfer coefficients of a wet surface finned-tube evaporator of which in-situ performance test is necessary.

It is important to investigate characteristics of flow of refrigerant/oil mixture circulating in a refrigeration system. Therefore the oil concentration in refrigerant/oil mixture should be measured exactly by the adequate measuring instrument. In this paper, the oil concentration was measured by density monitoring system(DMS) in the liquid-line of a inverter-driven heat pump. Experimental result follows ; the main factor that have an effect on oil concentration refrigerant/oil mixture circulating in a refrigeration system is the momentum and kinematic viscosity of refrigerant/oil mixture compressed by scroll compressor.

A series of tests were performed to verify the transient characteristics of heat pump in heating and cooling mode when operating speed was varied over the 30 to 102Hz. One of the major issues that has not been addressed so far is transient characteristics during speed modulation. The model for cycle simulation has been developed to predict the cycle performance under conditions of decreasing drive frequency and the results of the theoretical study were compared with the results of the experimental study. The simulated results were in good agreement with the experimental result within 10%. The transient cycle migration of the liquid state refrigerant causes significant dynamic change in system. Thus, the migration of refrigerant was the most important factor whenever do experimental results analysis or develop simulation model.

Aqueous polymer solutions are known to have small pressure reduction. Paraffin slurries are known to have high thermal capacity. Paraffin particles are mixed into an aqueous polymer solution to make a new heat transfer fluid having high thermal capacity but low pressure reduction. The heat transfer characteristics of the new slurry was tested in a circular tube having a constant heat transfer boundary condition. The new slurry was found to have high Nusselt numbers as well as high thermal capacity and low pressure reduction in the laminar flow. The trends of the Nusselt numbers along the heating test section were studied for various heating conditions.
