초록

본 연구에서는 절곡 깊이(1.4 mm)와 절곡 핏치(5.5 mm)가 같은 둥근 웨이브와 각진 웨이브 핀-관 열교환기에 대한 실험을 통하여 절곡 형상이 전열성능에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. j 인자의 경우 둥근 웨이브 핀이 모든 열수에서 1.2~22% 크고 f 인자는 3열의 경우 8.3~23% 크고 1, 2열의 경우는 -1.0~29% 작다. 둥근 웨이브 핀이 우수한 성능을 보이는 이유로 둥근 웨이브 핀의 경우 각진 웨이브 핀 보다 유동이 핀의 곡면을 잘 따라갈 수 있으므로 골에 존재하는 재순환 영역의 크기가 줄어들기 때문으로 판단된다. 둥근 웨이브 핀의 경우 핀 핏치가 j와 f 인자에 미치는 영향은 크지 않다. 또한 j 인자는 튜브 열수가 증가할수록 감소하는 반면 f 인자는 튜브 열수와 무관하다. 실험 데이터로부터 새로운 상관식을 도출하였다.

In this study, airside performance of round fin-and-tube heat exchangers are compared with that of the herringbone wave fin-and-tube heat exchangers with an aim to investigate the effect of fin shape on thermal performance. Results show that j factors of the round wave fin are 1.2~22% larger than those of herringbone wave fin. The f factors of the round wave fin are -1.0~29% smaller than those of herringbone wave fin for 1 or 2 row configuration. For 3 row configuration, f factors of the round wave fin are 8.3~23% larger. The reason may be attributed to the reduced recirculation zone in the valley of the fin for round wave fin as compared with that of the herringbone wave fin. For round wave fin, the effect of fin pitch on j and f factor is not significant. In addition, j factors decrease as the number of tube row increases. On the other hand, f factors are independent of the number of tube row. A new correlation was developed based on the present data.
