Direct Absorption Receiver and Thermal Storage System is a complex problem. This paper describes only characteristic of fluid flow on the receiver. The fluid thicknesses of Molten Salts (Melting Point : $397^{\circ}C$) flowing on the receiver of modified protopype ($10m{\times}10m$) were calculated theorectically, changing the receiver slope from 60 degree to 85 degree (5 steps). The receiver temperatures were $430^{\circ}C$ at the top part and $950^{\circ}C$ at the low part. The flow thickness of the Molten Salts at the top part of the receiver are around 1.9mm in the case of maximum insolution ($50{\times}10^6$juoule/sec; 58.898kg/sec of flow rate) and 2.0mm at the low part. In the case of 3/10 of maximum insolation (flow rate = 17.669kg/sec) the flow thickness at the top part are around 0.9mm and 0.4mm at the low part, and in the case of 1/10 of maximum insolation (flow rate = 5.889 kg/see) the flow thickness at the top part are around 0.6mm and 0.3mm at the low part. From experimental measurements of a normal fresh water thickness flowing on the model plate ($12.7cm{\times}111.76cm$), around 0.8mm at the top part of the plate and around 0.7mm at the low part were obtained in the case of maximum insolation (flow rate = 0.12496 kg/see). In the case of 3/10 (flow rate = 0.03748 kg/see) and 1/10 (flow rate = 0.012496 kg/see) of maximum insolation, around 0.5mm and 0.4mm at the top part, and around 0.3mm and 0.2mm at the low part were obtained respectively. The reason why the thickness of the Molten Salts increase at the low part of the receiver only in case of maximum insolation is that decreasing rate of the viscosity of the Molten Salts is larger than decreasing rate of the density of the Molten Salts during temperature increase from the top to the low receiver plate and decrease of the fluid velocity in accordance with continuity principle. In all cases without the above maximum insolation, the thickness of the Molten Salts and the fresh water decreased at the low part of the plate because of gravity force effects rather than friction effects and of continuity principle. All simillar flow patterns were obtained through all cases of the insolation making an exception of only maximum insolation.

본 연구는 주간동안 온실 내에서 발생되는 잉여 태양에너지의 적정 축열 시스템 설계에 필요한 기초자료를 제공할 목적으로 확보한 표준기상년 데이터를 이용하여 설정온도별로 잉여 태양에너지를 분석하였다. 주야간 설정온도를 단계별로 증가($15{\sim}19^{\circ}C$)시킨 경우, 온실형태와 지역별로 잉여 태양에너지는 0.2~6.9%정도 증가하여 그 증가폭은 미미하지만 다소 완만히 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 소요 난방에너지는 29.7~50.0%정도 증가하여 잉여 태양에너지의 증가율 보다 훨씬 큰 폭으로 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 환기 설정온도를 단계별로 증가 (저속 $25{\sim}29^{\circ}C$, 고속 $27{\sim}31^{\circ}C$)시킨 경우, 자동화 온실은 지역별로 잉여 태양에너지는 9.9~35.6%정도로 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 단동형 온실은 지역별로 5.1~13.4%정도로 감소하는 것으로 나타나 자동화 온실에 비해 감소의 폭이 상대적으로 작았다. 또한 소요 난방에너지는 온실형태 및 지역별로 다소 증가하거나 감소하는 경우도 있었지만, 그 영향은 아주 미미한 것으로 나타났다.

태양열 발전 플랜트에 사용되는 중고온 범위의 축열조에 고체-액체간 상변화를 수행하는 용융염을 축열물질로 사용하면 액체상 또는 고체상만으로 된 열저장 매체에 비해 축열조의 규모를 축소함과 동시에 축열온도의 균일성 향상에 기여할 수 있다. 중온인 $250{\sim}400^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 이용 가능한 용융염으로는 질산칼륨($KNO_3$), 질산리튬($LiNO_3$)등이 있다. 그러나 이러한 용융염의 가장 큰 단점은 열전도율이 매우 낮다는 것이며, 이로 인해 요구되는 열전달률을 성취하기 위해서는 많은 열접촉면적이 필요하다는 것이다. 이러한 단점을 극복하는 방법을 도입하지 않고서는 축열시스템의 소규화를 성취하는데 큰 효과를 가져올 수 없다. 한편 열수송 성능이 탁월한 히트파이프를 사용하면 열원 및 열침과 축열물질 사이의 열전달 효율을 증가시켜 시스템의 성능 향상과 동시에 소규모화에 기여할 수 있다. 중온 범위 히트파이프의 작동유체로서 다우섬-A(Dowtherm-A)는 $150^{\circ}C$이상 $400^{\circ}C$까지의 범위에서 소수에 불과한 선택적 대안 중 하나이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 용융염을 사용하는 중온 태양열축열조에 적용 가능한 다우섬-A 히트파이프의 성능을 파악하여 기술적 자료를 제시하고자 하였다. 열원으로는 고온 고압의 과열증기, 그리고 열침으로는 중온의 포화증기를 고려하였다. 용융염 축열조를 수직으로 관통하는 히트파이프는 하단부에서 열원 증기와 열교환 가능하며, 중앙부에서 축열물질과 열교환하고, 상단부에서는 중온 증기와 접촉할 수 있도록 배치하였다. 축열모드에서는 히트파이프의 하단부가 증발부로 작동하고, 중앙부가 응축부로 작동하여 용융염으로 열을 방출하면 용융염의 온도가 상승하고 용융점에 도달하면 액상으로의 상변화가 진행되면서 축열이 활성화된다. 축열모드에서 히트파이프의 상단부는 단열부로 작동한다. 방열과정에서는 히트파이프의 하단부가 단열된 상태이고, 중앙부는 용융염으로부터 열을 받아 증발부로 작동하며, 상단부는 중온 증기로 열을 방출하므로 응축부로 작동한다. 즉, 축열시스템의 작동모드에 따라 하나의 히트파이프에서 증발부, 응축부, 단열부의 위치가 변하게 된다. 특히, 히트파이프의 중앙 부분이 응축부에서 증발부로 전환될 때에도 작동이 보장되려면 내부 작동유체의 연속적인 재순환이 가능해야 하므로, 일반 히트파이프에서와는 달리 초기 작동액체의 충전량을 증발부 전체의 체적보다 더 많이 과충전해야 한다. 이러한 히트파이프의 성능 파악을 위한 실험에서 고려한 변수들은 열부하, 작동액체의 충전률, 작동온도 등이며, 열수송 성능의 지표로서는 유효열전도율과 열저항을 이용하였다. 중온범위에서 적정한 작동온도를 성취하기 위해 실험에서는 전압 조절기로 열부하를 조절하는 동시에 항온조로 응축부의 냉각수 입구 온도를 제어하였다. 하나의 히트파이프에 대해서 최대 1 kW까지의 열부하에서 냉각수 입구 온도를 $40^{\circ}C$에서 $80^{\circ}C$ 범위로 변화시키면 히트파이프 작동온도를 약 $250^{\circ}C$ 내외로 조절 가능하였다. 히트파이프 작동액체 충전률은 윅구조물의 공극 체적을 기준으로 372%에서 420%까지 변화 시켰다. 실험 결과를 토대로 열저항과 유효 열전도율을 각각 입력 열유속, 작동온도, 작동액체 충전률 등의 함수로 제시했다. 동일한 냉각수 온도에서는 충전률이 높을수록 히트파이프의 작동온도가 감소하였다. 열저항 값의 범위는 최소 $0.12^{\circ}C/W$에서 최대 $0.15^{\circ}C/W$까지로 나타났으며 유효 열전도율의 값은 최소 $7,703W/m{\cdot}K$에서 최대 $8,890W/m{\cdot}K$까지 변화했다. 최소 열저항은 충전률 420%인 경우에 나타났는데 이때의 작동온도는 약 $262^{\circ}C$이었다. 히트파이프의 작동한계로서 드라이아웃(dry-out)은 충전률 372%의 경우에 열부하 950 W에서 발생하였으나, 그 이상의 충전률에서는 열부하 1060 W까지 작동한계 발생이 관찰되지 않았다. 실험 결과 본 연구에서의 히트파이프는 중온 태양열 축열조에 적용되어 개당 약 1 kW의 열부하를 이송하면서 축열물질 및 축방열 대상 유동매체와 열교환을 하는데 사용하는데 충분할 것이라 판단된다.
