This paper analyzed the heat transfer characteristics on the outer surface of the ambient air vaporizer which received the heat from the air through natural convection by using numerical and experimental methods. The working fluid was a liquid nitrogen. The experimental variables were the length (2,000 mm, 1,800 mm, 1,600 mm) and width of the vaporizer fin and the fluid flow ($6.7m^3/h$, $7.1m^3/h$, $7.5m^3/h$). Based on the temperature data from the experiments, the heat transfer coefficient was calculated. Numerical analyses were also conducted in order to find the heat transfer coefficient for the range of Nusselt number which was difficult to get the data from experiments. The correlation equation between Nusselt number and Rayleigh number were suggested using both the experimental and numerical data.
