Abstract

The objective of this study is to investigate the cooling performance of an air-conditioning system for a special purpose vehicle under tropical and severe weather conditions. In order to evaluate and compare the cooling performances, the dual refrigeration cycle using R-134a was tested on a special purpose vehicle with various refrigerant charge amounts and indoor temperatures. The cycle was tested considering indoor cooling speed and compression ratio (discharge pressure), and was optimized at the refrigerant charge amount of 1.5 kg and outdoor temperature of $40.0^{\circ}C$. The time to reach indoor temperature of $15.0^{\circ}C$ increased by 86.5% and 38.1%, at the indoor temperatures from $25.0^{\circ}C$ to $32.5^{\circ}C$ and from $32.5^{\circ}C$ to $40.0^{\circ}C$, respectively. In addition, with the increase in indoor temperature from $25.0^{\circ}C$ to $40.0^{\circ}C$, the cooling capacity increased by 7.3%, from 19.1 kW to 20.5 kW, but decreased by 7.0% from 4.67 to 5.1.

본 연구의 목적은 열대 지방에서 사용되는 특수목적 자동차용 에어컨 시스템의 냉방성능 특성을 고찰하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 R-134a를 사용하는 듀얼 냉동사이클을 구성하였고 냉매량 및 실내온도를 변화시켜가면서 냉방성능을 비교하였다. 외기온도 $40.0^{\circ}C$에서 듀얼 냉동사이클의 실내 냉각속도 및 압축비(토출압력) 등을 고려하여 최적 냉매량을 1.5kg으로 선정하였다. 실내온도가 증가할수록 냉방부하가 증가하여 $25.0^{\circ}C$에서 $32.5^{\circ}C$로 실내온도를 높일 경우 $15.0^{\circ}C$에 도달하는데 걸리는 시간은 86.5% 증가하였고, $32.5^{\circ}C$에서 $40.0^{\circ}C$로 증가할 경우 38.1% 증가하였다. 또한, 실내온도가 $25.0^{\circ}C$에서 $40.0^{\circ}C$로 증가할수록 냉방용량은 19.1 kW에서 20.5 kW로 7.3% 증가했으나 냉방성능(COP)는 4.67에서 5.1로 7.0%감소하였다.
