Abstract

In this study, wet surface heat transfer and friction characteristics of compound enhanced fin-and-tube heat exchangers were experimentally investigated. Louver-finned heat exchangers were also tested for comparison purpose. The effect of fin pitch on j and f factor was negligible. Both j and f factor decreased as number of tube row increased. Compound enhanced fin samples yielded higher j and f factors than louver fin samples. For one row, j and f factors of compound enhanced fin samples were 11% and 43% higher than those of louver fin samples. For two row, those were 8% and 50%, and for three row, those were 17% and 53%. Heat transfer capacities at the same pressure drop of the compound enhanced fin samples were 2.0% for one row, 3.1% for two row and 8.4% for three row larger than those of louver fin samples, Data were compared with predictions of existing louver fin correlations.

본 연구에서는 복합 전열 촉진 핀 열교환기의 습표면 열전달 및 압력손실에 대하여 실험적으로 검토하였다. 비교를 위하여 널리 사용되는 루버 핀 열교환기에 대한 실험도 수행하였다. 핀 핏치(1.5mm~1.7mm)와 열수(1열~3열)를 변화시키며 열전달 및 압력손실에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 실험범위에서 핀 핏치가 j와 f 인자에 미치는 영향은 크지 않았다. 열수가 증가하면 j와 f 인자 모두 감소하였다. 복합 전열 핀 열교환기의 j와 f 인자가 루버 핀 열교환기의 값들보다 크게 나타났다. 1열의 경우 평균 j 인자와 f 인자는 11%, 43% 크고, 2열에서는 8%, 50%, 3열에서는 17%, 53% 크게 나타났다. 동일 압력 손실 대비 전열 성능은 복합 전열 촉진 핀 열교환기가 1열에서 2.0%, 2열에서 3.1%, 3열에서 8.4% 크게 나타났다. 실험 자료를 기존 루버 핀 상관식과 비교하였다.
