응축부 구성의 변경에 따른 스팀히트펌프의 성능에 관한 연구

Steam is a useful heat source in the industrial sector. Research into the production of steam by heat pump has recently emerged. The steam heat pump consists of a heat pump unit and a condenser unit. The configuration of the condenser unit affects the performance of the system as much as the heat pump unit. As a result of the analysis, the size of the flash tank and the flow rate of the refrigerant and water were obtained according to the heat capacity of the condenser. Meanwhile, the commercialized steam generation heat pump has a very large circulating mass flow rate compared with the steam generation amount. This has a negative effects on the power required and the height required for the flash tank. As a result of the preliminary experiments, decreasing the circulating flow rate showed an increase in condensation pressure and temperature.
