A Basic Study on Particle Distribution Characteristics of Rotary Mist Spraying Device

The purpose of this study is to analyze the distribution characteristics of mist spray particle size by devising a rotary mist spraying device to develop the evaporative salt water desalination system. The rotary mist spraying device was consisted of a BLDC sirocco fan, a spinning fan, a fan fixed shaft and a salt water supply device etc. In this study we analyzed the characteristics of spray particle size and distribution according to the variation of sirocco fan surface roughness(Ra, ${\mu}m$), revolutions(rpm) and salt water flow rate(mL/min). When sirocco fan surface roughness(Ra) was in the range of $0.27{\sim}7.65{\mu}m$, the spray particle size was $0.117{\sim}1.360{\mu}m$. And then more than 90% of spray particles were found to be less than $0.50{\mu}m$. When sirocco fan surface roughness(Ra) was in the range of $12.70{\sim}22.84{\mu}m$, the spray particle size was $2.51{\sim}184.79{\mu}m$ and more than 98% of spray particles were found to be less than $13.59{\mu}m$. To analyze the effect of fan rotation speed on the size and distribution of spray particles, when surface roughness Ra was fixed $0.27{\mu}m$ and fan rotation speed and salt water flow rate was respectively changed at 3,800~5,600 rpm and 2.77~8.28 mL/min, spray particle size was $0.314{\sim}0.541{\mu}m$. And when salt water flow rate was 9.74 mL/min and fan rotation speed was 3,800~5,200 rpm, spray particle size was in the range of $29.29{\sim}341.46{\mu}m$ and in case of 5,600 rpm more than 98.23% of spray particles were in the range of $2.51{\sim}13.59{\mu}m$.

회전형 미세입자 분무장치의 입자 분포 특성에 관한 기초 연구

이 연구에서는 염수를 증발냉각법을 이용하여 담수를 생산할 목적으로 회전형 미세입자 분무장치를 설계 제작하여 회전체의 표면조도, BLDC 시로코 팬의 회전수 그리고 염수 공급량의 변화에 따른 분무입자의 크기와 분포 특성을 실험적으로 분석하고자 하였다. 회전체의 표면조도 $Ra=0.27{\sim}7.65{\mu}m$인 경우 분무입자 크기는 $0.117{\sim}1.360{\mu}m$ 였고, 분무입자의 90% 가 $0.50{\mu}m$ 이하인 것으로 나타났다. $Ra=12.70{\sim}22.84{\mu}m$인 경우에는 분무입자 크기가 $2.51{\sim}184.79{\mu}m$의 범위에 분포하였고, 분무입자의 98%가 $13.59{\mu}m$ 이하인 것으로 나타났다. BLDC 시로코 팬의 회전수가 분무입자의 크기와 분포에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여 표면조도 $Ra=0.27{\mu}m$로 고정한 상태에서 염수 공급량을 일정하게 유지하면서 팬의 회전수를 3,800~5,600rpm 로 변화시켜가며 실험을 수행한 결과 염수 공급량이 2.77~8.28mL/min 인 경우에는 분무입자의 크기가 $0.314{\sim}0.541{\mu}m$의 범위에 분포하였다. 또한 염수공급량이 9.74mL/min 이고 회전수가 5,600rpm인 경우에는 분무입자의 98.23% 이상이 $2.51{\sim}13.59{\mu}m$의 범위에 분포하였다.
