Publication number: 20220128260Abstract: The cooling system according to the present invention may dehumidify and cool the indoor air by using the ejector, the ejector membrane, the evaporation chamber, and the indoor dehumidifying membrane. In addition, the coefficient of performance of the cooling system may be improved by cooling the refrigerant using evaporation latent heat generated in the evaporation chamber by the suction force of the ejector and cooling the indoor air using the refrigerant. In addition, by using solar heat to generate high-temperature and high-pressure steam and supply the generated steam to the ejector, energy use efficiency may be improved. In addition, since the temperature of the steam generated in the steam generating portion may be lowered by arranging and using the two first and second ejectors in multiple stages, energy efficiency may be further improved by reducing the consumption of the heat source required for steam generation.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2021Publication date: April 28, 2022Applicant: KOREA INSTITUTE OF ENERGY RESEARCHInventors: Beom Joon LEE, Gil-bong LEE, Chulwoo ROH, Young-jin BAIK, Hyung-ki SHIN, Jong Jae CHO

Patent number: 11306912Abstract: In the present invention, a recuperator is used in a refrigerant cycle to make a heat exchange between a refrigerant generated in a condenser and a refrigerant before flowing into a compressor, thereby supercooling the refrigerant to minimize the quality of the refrigerant introduced into an evaporator, elevating temperatures at an inlet and an outlet of the compressor, and increasing condensed heat of the condenser. In the present invention, a recuperator is used to increase condensed heat of the condenser, leading to increasing the heat which circulation water circulating in a steam producing cycle receives from the condenser, whereby steam production efficiency can be improved.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2017Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: KOREA INSTITUTE OF ENERGY RESEARCHInventors: Beom Joon Lee, Gil Bong Lee, Young Jin Baik, Hyung Ki Shin, Jun Hyun Cho, Chui Woo Roh, Ho Sang Ra, Eun Seok Wang, Young Soo Lee

Patent number: 9982918Abstract: A heating medium supplied to an evaporator is used to heat lubricant oil in a screw compressor before the screw compressor starts up, and no additional heater for heating the lubricant oil in the screw compressor is required. When the screw compressor operates, the heating medium discharged from the evaporator after the evaporator is heated by the heating medium, is used to cool the lubricant oil. The lubricant oil heated by a lubricant oil heat exchanger is directly injected into a motor and a screw rotor so that introduction of a liquid refrigerant into a compressive chamber is reduced when the screw compressor starts up later. The lubricant oil introduced into the motor is discharged toward a lubricant oil storage portion before the screw compressor starts up so that the liquid refrigerant is prevented in advance from being introduced into the screw rotor when the screw compressor starts up.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2016Date of Patent: May 29, 2018Assignee: KOREA INSTITUTE OF ENERGY RESEARCHInventors: Gil Bong Lee, Jun Hyun Cho, Young Soo Lee, Hyung Ki Shin, Young Jin Baik, Ho Sang Ra
