A crossflow finned tube evaporator has been investigated using tube-by-tube method. The refrigerant flows inside tubes while the air passes outside the finned tue. R134a for a refrigerant and wet air were used in this analysis. Three refrigerant circuitries, complex or simple, were compared. The effects of refrigerant circuitry and airside condensation on thermal performance such as heat transfer rate, enthalpy of refrigerant, temperature of refrigerant and air, pressure of refrigerant and average condensate layer thickness were investigated. It was found that this method could be applied to the analysis of finned tube evaporator for dehumidification and air conditioning.

Since the surface temperature of the evaporating tube in an ammonia unit cooled is lower than the dew point of atmosphere, the moisture in the atmosphere condenses and the frost grows on the tube. The frost of liquid film decreases the heat transfer rate. The reliable analysis of the heat transfer is required for the prediction of the optimal design of the ammonia unit cooler. For the specific commercial model, the performance was numerical1y estimated for the variation of operating condition and geometric configuration. It is found that there exists an optimum range for the parameters such as mass flow rate of air and refrigerant, humidity, refrigerant quality, fin pitch, the number of step, the number of rows and the pattern of refrigerant path.

A performance analysis model has been developed for fin-tube type heat exchanger for $CO_2$ heat pump. The model uses the tube-by-tube method Because air-side thermal resistance has a great portion among total thermal resistances, it is important to understand air-side heat transfer characteristics. The air-side heat transfer correlation has been proposed from experiments using water. The developed model was confirmed by experimental results and can be used for the performance analysis of heat exchanger.

An experimental investigation was conducted to study two-phase flow distribution in a T-type distributor of slit fin-and-tube heat exchanger using R22. A comparison was made between the predictions by previously proposed tube-by-tube method and experimental data for the heat transfer rate of evaporator. Experiments were carried out under the conditions of saturation temperature of 5$^{\circ}C$ and mass flow rate varying from 0.6 to 1.2kg/min. The inlet air has dry bulb temperature of 27$^{\circ}C$, relative humidity of 50% and air velocity varying from 0.63 to 1.71㎧. Experiment show that air velocity increased by 85.2% is need for T-type distributor with four outlet branches than that of two outlet branches under the superheat of 5$^{\circ}C$, which resulted in air-side pressure drop increase of 130% for T-type distributor with four outlet branches as compared to two outlet branches.

In this study, the computer modeling for prediction of the performance of fin-tube heat exchanger using alternative refrigerant, HFC-134a was developed and the computer program for calculating the various properties of HFC-134a and the existing refrigerant CFC-12 and HCFC-22 was made. The heat exchanger modeling is based on a tube-by-tube approach, which is capable of analysis for the complex coil array. Performance of each tube is analyzed separately by considering the cross-flow heat transfer with external airstream and the appropriate heat and mass transfer relationships. A performance comparison according to the different refrigerants is provided using this developed model. As the result of this study, total heat transfer rate of evaporator and condenser using HFC-134a were found higher than that of using CFC-12 for the same operating conditions. When the mass flow rate of HFC-134a was less than CFC-12 about 18. 16%, the cooling capacities of evaporator were found to be the same.

The flow and the heat transfer about the cross-flow fin-tube heat exchanger in an out-door unit of a heat pump system has been numerically Investigated. Using the general purpose analysis code, FLUENT, the Navier-Stokes equations and the energy equation are solved for the three dimensional computation domain that encompasses multiple rows of the fin-tube. The temperature on the fin and tube surface is assumed constant but compensated later through the fin efficiency when predicting the heat-transfer rate. The contact resistance is also taken into consideration. The flow and temperature fields for a wide range of inlet velocity and fin-tube arrangements are examined and the results are presented in the paper. The details of the flow are very well captured and the heat transfer rate for a range of inlet velocity is in excellent agreement with the measured data. The flow solution provides the effective permeability and the inertial resistance factor of the heat exchanger if the exchanger were to be approximated by the porous medium. This information is essential in carrying out the global flow field calculation which, in turn, provides the inlet velocity lot the microscopic temperature-field calculation of the heat exchanger unit.

A computer program was developed for simulating performance(capacity, power consumption and etc.) of air-conditioners using compressor, fin-tube heat exchanger and capillary tube. The program consists of five modules, condenser, evaporator, compressor, capillary tube simulation modules and properties modules of refrigerant and moist air, The present program is focused on R22 only, however can be easily extended for other refrigerants such as R407C and R410A just by adding property modules. The compressor simulation module utilizes performance maps supplied by manufacturers-map-based model. The condenser and evaporator simulation modules are modeled using tube-by-tube method. Simulation results(capacity and power consumption) were compared with calorimeter test results of actual air-conditioners of window and split types, where more than 82% of the data lied within ${\pm}5$% of the predicted results.

본 연구의 목적은 나선형 원형핀-튜브 증발기의 열전달 성능에 관하여 해석적으로 연구하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 두 가지 냉매인 R134a 와 R600a 에 대하여 냉매의 질량유량, 공기온도, 공기풍량 및 튜브직경 변화에 대하여 나선형 원형핀-튜브 증발기의 열전달 성능변화를 고찰하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 증발기 성능해석 프로그램은 실험결과와 평균 8.3% 오차 범위 안에서 잘 예측되었다. 결과적으로, 동일한 냉매유량 범위에서 R600a 를 사용하는 경우가 R134a 를 사용하는 경우보다 더 우수한 열전달율을 나타내었다. 열전달량은 풍량 및 공기온도가 증가할수록 증가하였으나 열전달량은 튜브두께가 증가할수록 감소하였다.
