In this study, experimental study on the heating performance of a $CO_2$ heat pump water heater with a variation of operating conditions such as refrigerant charge amount, outdoor temperature, compressor frequency, EEV opening and water mass flow rate. Based on the test results, the optimum charge amount was 1800 g. At the water mass flow rates of 75, 85, 95 kg/hr, the water heating temperature was 62, 67, $74^{\circ}C$ and COP was 2.6, 2.8, 3.0, respectively. Besides, the water mass flow rate and compressor frequency were varied to maintain above the water heating temperature of $60^{\circ}C$ with the decrease of outdoor temperature. So, The compressor frequency increased beyond 65 Hz and the water mass flow rate was 45 kg/hr at the outdoor temperature of $-13^{\circ}C$, 65 kg/hr at $-8^{\circ}C$, 75 kg/hr at $-3^{\circ}C$ and 85 kg/hr at 2, $7^{\circ}C$. As the outdoor temperature decreased, the heating COP decreased by 2.5-39.8%.

The Effluent ground water overflows in deep and broad ground space building. Temperature of effluent ground water is in 12$\sim$18$^{\circ}C$ annually and the quality of that water is as good as living water. Therefore if the flow rate of effluent ground water is sufficient as source of heat pump, that is good heat source and heat sink of heat pump. Effuent ground water contain the thermal energy of surrounding ground. So this is a new application of ground source heat pump. In this study open type and close type heat pump system using effluent ground water was installed and tested for a church building with large and deep ground space. The effluent flow rate of this building is 800$\sim$1000 ton/day. The heat pump capacity is 5RT each. The heat pump system heating COP was 3.0$\sim$3.3 for the open type and 3.3$\sim$3.8 for the close type system. The heat pump system cooling COP is 3.2$\sim$4.5 for the open type and 3.8$\sim$4.2 for close type system. This performance is up to that of BHE type ground source heat pump.

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of refrigerant heat exchanger on the performance of type II absorption heat pump performance using numerical analysis. Two heat exchange installation methods were used: solution to refrigerant and waste hot water to refrigerant. These methods were compared to the standard model of hot water flow without using refrigerant heat exchanger. When waste hot waters were bypassed to refrigerant heat exchanger, COP was not affected. However, steam mass generation rates were increased compared to those of the standard model. When solutions were bypassed to the refrigerant heat exchanger, results were different depending on the place where the solution rejoined. COP and steam mass generation rates were lower compared to those when waste heat water was passed to refrigerant heat exchanger. Thus, it is possible to obtain higher steam mass generation rates by using waste water and installing refrigerant heat exchanger.

Objective: The aim of this study is to provide a current knowledge of the multiple issues regarding motion effects on crew performance. Background: The motions of the ship may create motion sickness, nausea and vomit. Also, these motions also disturb the balance of crew members, increase the energy expenditure of crew for shipboard work, and result in increased levels of injury and fatigue. However, the motion effects of the ship on crew performance has not been thoroughly investigated. Method: Participants(N=10) were engaged in an experiment in 2 experimental environments(training ship and ship handling simulator) and 2 navigational conditions(day and night). The COP(Center of Pressure) data were recorded as an objective measure of postural balance control and the SSQ(Simulator Sickness Questionnaire) was used as a subjective measure of sickness. Results: The results showed that COP has a no significant difference based on experimental environments, but significant effect on SSQ. Conclusion: During the virtual simulator navigation, subjects showed significant SSQ level changes, which included decreased SSQ data. But, there is no significant difference of COP between training ship and ship handling simulator. Application: The results of this study could be applied to the next generation of ship design to decrease effect of motion at sea and to increase performance of ship crew.

The goal of this paper is to measure and compare the performance of solar heat pump for refrigerants. To accomplish the goal, solar heat pump with aluminum roll bond type evaporator and indoor heat exchanged(condenser) was built. The test results showed that the COP and heating capacity of HFC-32/125/134a(23/25/52 wt%, $CH_2F_2/CF_3CHF_2/CF_3CH_2F$) were higher than those of HCFC-22$(CHClF_2)$. A study proved that best conditions to use heating system that is about $40m^2$ and $80m^2$. The COP range of the whole system was from 4 to 6 according to the solar collector's area variation. Hydrochlo-rofluorocarbon HCFC-22$(CHClF_2)$ is included in the compound to be controlled. HFC-32/125/134a(23/25/52 wt%, $CH_2F_2/CF_3CHF_2/CF_3CH_2F$) is the most suitable replacement HCFC-22$(CHClF_2)$ in solar heat pump application. The solar heat pump system was designed to show the best efficiency that the room temperature make $18\sim20^{\circ}C$ and $23\sim25^{\circ}C$ in Seoul during the fall season.

Performance evaluation and economic estimation were conducted on the water to water GSHP (Ground Source Heat Pump) installed in existing building. Ground heat exchanger was a closed vertical loop type and sized to be 5 boreholes and 100m depth per borehole. Operation efficiency of the system shows that, COP increased from 3.0 to 4.2 with entering water temperature in heating operation, however, COP decreased from 5.0 to 3.7 in cooling operation. Economic estimation was analyzed by LCC (Life Cycle Cost) method and it showed that GSHP could save 68% of cost compare to the conventional oil source. Thus, despite of the large amount of initial cost, GSHP has a economic advantage to the other energy sources.

This study was carried out to develop a simulation model with EES(Engineering equation solver) for analyzing the performance of a grain cooler. In order to validate the developed simulation model, several main factors which have affected on the performance of the gain cooler were investigated through experiments. A simulation model was developed in the standard vapor compression cycle, and then this model was modified considering irreversibe factors so that the developed alternate model could predict the actual cycle of a grain cooler. The compressor efficiency in vapor compression cycle considering irreversibility much affected on the coefficient of performance(COP). The COP in the standard vapor compression cycle model was greatly as high as about 6.50, but the COP in an alternative model considering irreversibility was as low as about 3.27. As a result of comparison between the actual cycle and the vapor compression cycle considering irreversibility, the difference of pressure at compressor outlet(inlet) was a little by about 48kPa (8.8kPa), the temperatures of refrigerant at main parts of the grain cooler were similar. and the temperature of chilled air was about 8$\^{C}$ in both. The model considering irreversibility could predict performance of the grain cooler. The theoretical period required to chill grain of 1,383kg from the initial temperature 24$\^{C}$ to below 11$\^{C}$ was about 55 hours 30 minutes, and the actual period required in a grain bin was about 58 hours. The difference between the predicted and an actual period was about 2 hours 30 minutes. The cooling performance predicted by the developed model could well estimate the cooling period required to chill the grain.

화석에너지에 대한 경제적 부담과 환경오염문제를 줄이기 위하여 열펌프의 성능계수향상을 위하여 냉온 공기열교환기(HEEVA)를 고안하였고, 이 열교환기의 열특성과 성능계수향상에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여 냉.난방 실험을 수행하였다. HEEVA에 의한 찬 공기와 더운 공기의 온도변화, 전열량 및 냉온 공기열교환기 효율, 총열전달계수등을 측정분석하였고, 냉난방시 외기온에 따른 열펌프의 성능계수, 소비전력, 응축기.증발기 출구 공기토출 온도 변화를 측정 분석함으로서 다음과 같은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 1. 외기온이 -4~11$^{\circ}C$로 변할 때 열펌프의 난방과정에서 HEEVA 찬공기 입출구 온도차는 4.5$^{\circ}C$에서 9.$0^{\circ}C$로 증가하였으며, HEEVA에 의한 영향으로 2~6$^{\circ}C$상승된 공기가 증발기 입구로 유입되어 냉매증발을 촉진하였다. 2. 실온이 4~22$^{\circ}C$일 때 HEEVA 더운공기 입출구 온도차는 3$^{\circ}C$에서 7$^{\circ}C$로 증가하였으며, 응축기에 유입되는 공기온도를 3~8$^{\circ}C$낮게 함으로서 압축기 소모전력을 감소시켜 COP 상승 효과를 나타냈다. 3. 외기온과 실온변화에 따라 풍량 346m$^3$/hr의 찬 공기가 받은 열량과 풍량 747m$^3$/hr의 더운 공기가 준 열량간의 차는 50~150kcal/hr로 나타났으며, 더운 공기가 준열량과 찬 공기가 받은 열량의 비가 83~98% 이었으므로 HEEVA의 열 교환율은 91% 을 보였다. 4. 총합열전달계수는 이론값이 실험 값보다 1~3W/m$^2$K 크게 나타났으며, 이 결과는 두 값 사이에 10% 내.외의 편차로서 Nusselt수를 구하기 위한 Petukhov상관식의 자체오차 15%에 비해 크지 않은 오차범주에 속하며, 이론상의 총합열전달계수 유도식의 타당성을 입증한 것이라 하겠다. 5. HEEVA를 작동함으로서 난방시 COP가 HEEVA를 작동하지 않았을 경우보다 0.3~0.5 향상된 것으로 나타났다. 이것은 HEEVA가 겨울철 난방에 효율을 높일수 있는 것으로 판단된다.

In this paper, two different types of natural gas liquefaction cycle with 2 staged compression were designed and simulated to develop liquefaction process which is the core technology in the Industry of natural gas liquefaction plant. These include the cascade cycle with inter-cooler which is consisted of propane, ethylene and methane cycle. One of these is that liquid-gas heat exchanger is applied to between methane and ethylene cycles, and another is that liquid-gas heat exchanger is added to between ethylene and propane on the above process. Also, these cycles are compared with two staged cascade process using an inter-cooler. The COP of process2 is shown about 14.0% higher than that of process1, respectively. Also, the yield efficiency of LNG improved comparing with process1 with 11.5% lower specific power.

The automatic hot gas by-pass technique is applied to control the capacity of refrigeration and air-conditioning system when operating at part load. In the scheme, the hot gas from the compressor is extracted and injected into the outlet of an evaporator through a hot gas by-pass valve. Thus, In this paper, the hot gas by-pass scheme for CO2 is discussed and analyzed on the basis of mass and energy conservation law. A comparative study of the schemes is performed in terms of the coefficiency of performance (COP) and cooling capacity. The operating parameters considered in this study include compressor efficiency, superheating degree, outlet temperature of gas cooler and evaporating temperature in the R744 vapor compression cycle. The main results were summarized as follows : the superheating degree, outlet temperature and evaporating temperature of R744 vapor compression refrigeration system have an effect on the cooling capacity and COP of this system. With a thorough grasp of these effect, it is necessary to design the compression refrigeration cycle using R744.
