Abstract

In order to investigate the performance of an internal heat exchanger for $CO_2$ refrigerant system, the experiment was performed. Four kinds of internal heat exchangers(IHX) were used. The effects on the IHX length, the number of tube, the operating condition and the type of IHX were investigated. With increasing of the IHX length, the capacity and efficiency increased. The pressure drop of the low-side was larger compared with that of the high-side. As the temperature of the gas cooler increased, the capacity and efficiency increased linearly. The operation condition of evaporator was suggested as two phase region rather than superheat region. The capacity and efficiency of the micro-channel was larger about 90% and 75% than those of the tube. But the pressure drop of the micro-channel was more larger, compared with that of the tube.

이산화탄소 냉매 시스템용 내부 열교환기의 성능을 조사하기 위하여 4종류의 내부 열교환기를 사용하여 냉방운전조건에서 실험을 수행하였다. 내부 열교환기의 길이, 관 개수, 운전조건, 형상 변화에 대한 영향이 연구되었다. 내부 열교환기 길이가 증가할수록 능력과 효율은 향상되었다. 압력강하는 고압측보다 저압측에서 더 크게 나타났다. 가스쿨러의 온도가 높아질수록 능력과 효율은 선형적으로 증가하였으며, 증발기의 운전조건은 과열도보다는 이상영역을 설정하면 효율증대 효과 측면에서 유리하였다. 마이크로 채널의 경우가 튜브보다 능력과 효율이 크게 우수하였지만 압력강하 측면에서는 크게 불리하였다.
