Abstract

The objective of this study is to investigate the air-side heat transfer characteristics of a spirally-coiled circular fin-tube heat exchanger for various geometric parameters under non-frosting conditions. The heat transfer characteristics of the heat exchanger were analyzed with respect to heat exchanger geometries, and then, the characteristics were compared with those of rectangular-plate fin-tube heat exchangers with discrete fins. The heat transfer coefficient increased with a decrease in the number of tube rows and an increase in the fin pitch. The optimum length of the L-foot was 2.7 mm. In addition, the heat transfer rate increased with a decrease in the tube pitch and the tube thickness. The heat transfer coefficient of the spirally-coiled circular fin-tube heat exchanger was 24.3% higher than that of the rectangular-plate fin-tube heat exchanger.

본 연구의 목적은 무착상 조건에서 나선형 원형핀-튜브 열교환기의 형상변수에 따른 열전달특성을 고찰하고 평판 사각핀-튜브 열교환기와 열전달성능을 비교하는 것이다. 나선형 원형핀-튜브 열교환기는 Lfoot 길이 2.7 mm 에서 열전달계수가 최대로 나타났으며, 공기측 열전달계수는 튜브열수가 2 열에서 5 열로 증가하면서 평균 10% 감소하였고 핀피치가 5 mm 에서 10 mm 로 증가하면서 평균 17.5% 증가하였다. 모든 풍량조건에서 나선형 원형핀-튜브 열교환기의 튜브피치 30 mm 가 35 mm 보다 열전달량이 평균 5.1% 높게 나타났고 튜브두께 0.5 mm 가 0.7 mm 보다 열전달량이 평균 4.1% 높게 나타났다. 나선형 원형핀-튜브 열교환기의 열전달계수가 평판 사각핀-튜브 열교환기에 비하여 평균 24.3% 정도 높게 나타났다.
