초록

최근 들어 공조기가 슬림화 되고 따라서 열교환기의 깊이를 줄일 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 슬림형 알루미늄 열교환기에 적절한 루버 핀 형상을 도출하였다. 또한 도출된 루버 핀이 적용된 알루미늄 열교환기 시료를 제작하고 성능 시험을 수행하였다. 비교를 위하여 기존 열교환기에 대해서도 실험을 수행하였다. 도출된 형상의 핀 깊이($F_d$)는 10.0 mm, 루버 핏치($L_p$)는 0.9 mm, 루버 각(${\theta}$)은 $35^{\circ}$이다. 기존 시료에 비하여 신규 슬림 시료의 j 인자는 36%, f 인자는 2.3% 크게 나타났다. 따라서 열교환기 체적은 슬림 시료에서 26% 줄어들게 된다. 또한 동일 소비 동력에서의 전열량을 의미하는 $j/f^{1/3}$은 슬림 시료에서 55% 크다. 실험 데이터를 기존 상관식의 예측치와 비교하였다.

Recent trends in slim air conditioners require heat exchangers of reduced flow depth. In this study, slim louver fin geometry was obtained using predictive correlations. The deduced geometry yielded 10 mm flow depth, 0.9 mm louver pitch, and $35^{\circ}$ louver angle. Samples were made and tests were conducted. The new slim sample yielded 36% higher j factor and 2.3% higher f factor compared with those of the standard sample. This implies that 26% reduction of heat exchanger volume was possible by reducing the flow depth. In addition, the $j/f^{1/3}$ of the slim sample was 55% larger than that of the standard sample. Furthermore, the results are compared with predictions made using existing correlations.
