| Abstract |
This article offers a comprehensive overview of the latest research findings in the realms of heating, cooling, ventilation, sanitation, and building and plant indoor environments. It does so through a thorough examination of articles published in the Korean Journal of Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Engineering over the course of 2023. Below is a summarised outline of the papers that were reviewed. (1) The range of topics scrutinised in the domain of building mechanical systems extends to general building energy facilities, the energy efficiency within HVAC systems, and pertinent health and safety considerations. (2) The sphere of indoor environment research encompasses a wide array of subjects, including IAQ (Indoor Air Quality), ventilation strategies, air purification techniques, calculations of cooling and heating loads, adoption of renewable energy sources, considerations for medical facilities, and fire safety measures. (3) In the realm of refrigeration, studies have delved into evaluative analyses of thermal comfort inside vehicles via numerical methods as well as the design of absorber heat exchangers for absorption refrigeration systems. (4) The research interests within heat transfer and thermo-fluid engineering spanned methodologies for bolstering heat transfer through boiling and condensation, examination of fouling characteristics in HVAC heat exchangers, optimisation of geothermal heat pump controls, analysis of flow distribution within printed circuit heat exchangers, and the consequences of fouling on the performance of fin-tube heat exchangers. |
