The effect of anti freezing solution liquid film on the frost prevention is experimentally investigated. It is desirable that the antifreezing solution spreads widely on the heat exchanger surface forming thin liquid film to prevent frost nucleation and reduce the thermal resistance across the film. A porous layer coating technique is adopted to improve the wettedness of the anti freezing solution on a parallel plate heat exchanger. The antifreezing solution spreads widely on the heat exchanger surface with 100 $\mu$m thickness by the capillary force resulting from the porous structure. It is observed that the antifreezing solution liquid film prevents a parallel plate heat exchanger from frosting. The reductions of heat and mass transfer rate caused by thin liquid film are only $1\~2\%$ compared with those for non-liquid film surface.

최근들어 고체 표면의 젖음성을 향상시키기 위해 표면에 나노/마이크로 기술을 적용하는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 이러한 연구를 통하여 나노 구조가 표면 젖음성을 향상 시킬 수 있고, 액체 퍼짐은 실 모세관(Capillary wicking)에 의해 형성된다는 것을 확인하였다. 그러나 대부분의 연구는 나노 구조의 작은 스케일때문에 분석하는데 어려움이 있어서 퍼짐현상을 정성적으로 분석하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 마이크로/나노/마이크로-나노 구조를 갖는 실리콘 표면에서의 액적 계면 거동을 정량적으로 분석하였으며, 계면의 거동은 방사광 X선 영상법으로 직접 측면가시화를 진행하였다. 그 결과 모든 구조 표면에서 퍼짐 현상이 발생하였고, 액체 계면의 거동이 서로 다르게 나타났다. 마이크로구조의 경우 일정한 액막 두께를 유지하며 퍼졌고, 나노구조는 완만한 경사를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 마이크로-나노 구조의 경우 두 가지가 결합된 형태의 퍼짐현상을 보였다. 또한 액체의 퍼짐은 마이크로-나노 구조에서 가장 증진됨을 확인하였다.

A study on frost prevention of fin-tube heat exchanger is experimently performed by spreading antifreezing solution on heat exchanger surface. It is desirable that the antifreezing solution spreads completely on the surface forming thin liquid film to prevent frost nucleation and crystal growth and to reduce the thermal resistance across the liquid film. A small amount of antifreezing solution falls in drops on heat exchanger surface using two types of supplying devices, and a porous layer coating technique is adopted to enhance the wettedness of antifreezing solution on the surface. It is observed that the antifreezing solution liquid film prevents fin-tube heat exchanger from frosting, and heat transfer performance does not degrade through the frosting tests. The concentration of supplied antifreezing solution can be determined by heat transfer analysis of the first row of heat exchanger to avoid antifreezing solution freezing due to dilution by moisture absorption.

The evaporating heat transfer experiments with refrigerant HCFC 22 are performed for performance evaluation using 4 and 6 kinds of microfin tubes with outer diameter of 9.52mm and 7.0mm, respectively. Used microfin tubes have different shape and number of fins with each other, The experimental results are represented with effects of quality, mass flux and EPR. The evaporating heat transfer characteristics are represented by the existence of not only heat transfer area and turbulence promotion effect but also additional other enhancement mechanism, which are the overflow of the refrigerant over the microfin and microfin arrangement. Microfin tubes having a shape which can give much overflow over the microfin show large evaporating heat transfer coefficients. The effect of refrigerant overflow is much severe in evaporation than condensation. The effect of microfin arrangement is related to overflow effect of the refrigerant over the microfin.

To examine the enhancement mechanism of condensing heat transfer through microfin tube, the condensation experiments with refrigerant HCFC 22 are performed using 4 and 6 kinds of microfin tubes with outer diameter of 9.52mm and 7.0mm, respectively. Used microfin tubes have different shape and number of fins with each other The main heat transfer enhancement mechanism is known to be the enlargement of heat transfer area and turbulence promotion. Together with these main factors, we can find other enhancement factors by the experimental data, which are the overflow of the refrigerant over the microfin and microfin arrangement. The overflow of the refrigerant over the microfin can be analyzed by the geometric shape of the microfin. Microfin tubes having a shape which can give much overflow over the microfin show large condensing heat transfer coefficients. The effect of microfin arrangement is related to the heat transfer resistance of liquid film of refrigerant. The condensing heat transfer coefficients are high for the microfin tube with even distribution of liquid film.
