Abstract
In the present study, the performance of a PF heat exchanger for heat pump dryer was investigated. Capacity and dehumidification amount of the PF heat exchangers(PF1, PF2, PF3) by different inclination angles($0^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$) were studied. Experimental conditions were an air velocity crossing to the heat exchanger(0.5m/s), an air dry-bulb temperature($60^{\circ}C$) and relative humidity(70%). The experimental results have shown that the performance of the inclined PF heat exchangers was better than that of the vertically installed one. PF3 showed better performance compared to PF1 and PF2 due to the large pin pitch which are leading to more draining for dehumidified water. But, capacity and dehumidification amount of the PF heat exchanger at the inclination angles of $60^{\circ}$ was decreased due to pressure drop. Also, to predict the experimental data of the PF heat exchanger, the performance program was developed for the inclination angles of $0^{\circ}$. PF heat exchanger performance between experiment data and calculation data was satisfied within the maximum 2% for capacity and 3% for dehumidification amount.
본 연구에서는 히트펌프 건조기용에 적용될 PF 열교환기에 대하여 연구되었다. PF 열교환기의 설치 경사각($0^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$)에 따른 3종 PF 열교환기의 능력과 제습량을 측정하였다. 실험은 건구온도 $60^{\circ}C$, 상대습도 70%, 풍속 0.5m/s에서 진행되었다. 실험결과 경사각이 증가할수록 열교환기의 성능이 우수하였으며, PF3가 능력과 제습량에서 가장 우수하였다. 그러나 경사각이 $60^{\circ}$에서는 능력과 제습량이 크게 감소하였다. 실험값을 예측하기 위해 PF 열교환기의 능력과 제습량을 예측할 수 있는 계산프로그램을 개발하였다. PF 열교환기 3종에 대한 실험값과 계산값은 능력의 경우에 최대 2% 이내를 제습량의 경우에 최대 3% 이내에서 만족한 결과를 보여주었다.
