1. heat pump business overview
Of all the alternative energy to solve environmental pollution and energy depletion from
carbon energy use, heat pump business is a environment friendly power generation system
that derives electrical energy most efficiently and nature friendly way

Domestic heat pump outlook
3-1 Domestic heat pump market
Definition of heat pump
Equipment devised to simultaneously heat and cool by installing 4 way valve
which converts flow of refrigerant between the compressor and the condenser.
Aug. 14, 2009 issue of Electronic Times
Korea Electric Power Corporation recently
announced new corporate vision which aims to
earn 14trillion won which will be 700times larger
than the current sale of 20 billion won from the
green sales. In order to do so, it will invest total
of 800billion won by 2020 to secure 7 green
technology in IGCC, CCS, nuclear reactor export,
smart
grid,
electric
vehicle
recharging
infrastructure, heat pump and electric energy
housing.
Aug. 17, 2009 issue of Electronic Times
According to research, of all the energy
consumed, only 25% of energy is consumed
in housing, commerce and in public building.
1/4of all energy is consumed in lighting and
cooling and heating of buildings. In terms of
carbon dioxice emissions, it comprises 13%.
That is the reason why the government is
actively pursuing to provide 100 million
green homes. Accordingly, interest in heat
pumps which can heat and cool whole
building is drawing much interest
Domestic heat pump market has been
growing for the last 20 years. While
companies like LG and Century is
showing much interest the largest
specialty maker Tempia has gone
bankrupt which would adversely affect
after sales services and negative opinion.
However, recent interest in green energy
has drawn focus on heat pumps and is
likely be selected as national strategic
business item. Accordingly, technology
necessary for saving energy will be
positively reviewed and selected.(heating
possible with 20% of kerosene heating
cost)
3-2 Foreign heat pump market
Heat pump as a symbol in Germany
Heating of Japanese water heater market
Heat pump is rapidly rising as a symbol of owner's
environmental awareness in Germany.
Heat pump market has been exploding in recent
years. In 2005, 18,500 units were sold and in 2006
sales rose to 44,000 units. At least 55,000 units are
expected to sell while some reports forcast the sales
will be much greater. The industry predicts shortage
of supply to fulfill demand and the waiting time will be
prolonged. In switzerland, the sale of heat pump is
rising, although not as dramatic as in Germany.
Compared to 12,000 units sold previously, it is
expected 16,000 units was sold in 2006. About 80%
of the units were for new buildings and over half was
the air supplier.
Source : CCI, Germany
Sales of ECOCUTE(Co2 heat pump water heater)
continued due to its economy, safety, and
environment friendly qualities.
Sales grew 60% in 2006. From 2007, sales of
ECOCUTE is expected to expand thanks to
government support and efforts of manufacturer.
Since its introduction in 2001, the demand for
ECOCUTE has steadly increased. According to Japan
Refrigeration
and
Air
Conditioning
Industry
Association, 72,600 units were sold in 2003,
115,000units in 2004, 194,000units in 2005,
323,000units in 2006(58.5%, 68.8%, 66% increase
respectively)
Advanced Market
Developing Market
Use of heat pump is common in advanced countries, is
unrivaled as an alternative energy. In particular, electric
companies like Mitubishi and Toshiba are most active.
Heat pump is considered to
alternative energy. In China,
industrial factories, utilization
water is been sought in attempt
be the lone substitute for
where there are numerous
of heat pump using waste
to renew any waste energy.
4. Hydrodynamic power generation system
Hydrodynamic power generation
Uses power generated when the refrigerant is expanded into low pressure
state from the high pressure state while cycling during the cooling and heating
as the energy source. Use this energy to operate the company made turbine
and the generator connected to the turbine generates electricity. The
electrical energy generated uses inverters used in solar power generation to
reduce power consumption. If generation efficiency is more than the input
electrical energy, a storage battery is installed to be used for power source
for other equipments.
Generation possible power
Application of hydrodynamic power generation
Can obtain 80~90% of power
in comparison with the heat
pump. (produces 6kw when
7.5kw is used) Through
improvements in compression
efficiency and turbine
structure change, more power
can be generated. currently
produces 3.2 kw.
Can be operated if a turbine and
a generator is installed on the
outdoor unit of the heat pump.
Designed to be used not only on
household air conditioner but on
all industrial cooler and heater
through simple structural
modification
5. Development motive and process
motivation
In seeking utilization of energy generated during
continuous expansion and compression within the heat
pump, initiated turbine and power generation equipment
development that uses power of compression and
expansion.
Heat pump
Heat pump development since 1981, and attempt to apply it on
washing machines and others. Attempts to combine it with
other alternative energy such as solar power
Outdoor ice maker
In order to solve the heat pump's problem of outdoor unit freezing
during the winter and its resulting inefficiencies, developed a system
that does not freeze(patented)
Hydrodynamic power generation
In order to develop pressure turbine necessary for hydrodynamic
power generation, attempted over 300 tries in development over the
7 year period and invested more than 2billion won

(1) Innovative energy saving system that produces 2~5times the heat energy than the calory of input
electricity into heat pump. When 1kw of electricity is supplied into electrical heater, 860kcal/h is
produced but when 1kw of electricity is supplied into heat pump, average of 2,580kcal/h is produced.
