Abstract

This paper was studied for optimum design of the used vaporizer at a satellite station. Generally, the cold air is created by temperature drop on the vaporizer surface. In addition, the frost creates ice deposit layer, therefore, heat transfer on vaporizer decreases into the adiabatic condition. By this reason, recent vaporizer system is installed as parallel type, and it takes three times of vaporizer capacity. But this vaporizer system requires much installation costs and restricted by some space. It is very important to solve this problem. This study paper is regarding $LN_2$ vaporizer where the utilization increases recently. There are three variable conditions which are used in this study research. First, fin lengths of 4000mm, 6000mm, 8000mm and 0, 4, 8 fin types were applied rut each vaporizer. Second, we applied four season condition which consist of humidity, temperature and air velocity to the experimental environment. Finally, pressure was applied to get flow rate during experiment. This paper objective is to propose vaporizer type and length data for best performance of vaporizer through experiment.
