최근에 지구온난화 문제로 인하여 자동차 공조시스템은 GWP 지수가 높은 R134a 냉매를 대체할 수 있는 대체 냉매를 적용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 R1234yf 냉매를 사용하여 내부열교환기와 가면용량형 팽창밸브인 TXV를 적용한 자동차 공조시스템의 성능특성을 해석하였다. 상용 소프트웨어인 Amesim을 이용하여 주요 부품인 압축기, 응축기, 팽창장치, 증발기와 내부열교환기를 모델링을 하여 외기온도와 응축기 휜 피치 변화에 따른 냉동사이클 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 외기온도가 30℃에서 40℃로 증가함에 따라 시스템의 냉방용량은 3.1% 감소하고, 압축기 소비동력은 17.1% 증가하였다. 또한, 응축기의 휜 피치를 0.8 mm에서 1.4 mm로 증가시키면서, 사이클 성능특성을 해석하였다. 휜 피치가 1.0 mm 클 경우에 응축기의 방열량은 감소하였고, COP는 5.9% 까지 감소하였다. 응축기 휜 피치가 1.0 mm 보다 작은 0.8 mm에서는 시스템 성능에 큰 변화가 없어 휜 피치 1.0 mm에서 최적의 성능을 나타내는 것으로 분석되었다.

This paper presents the effects of the fin array and pitch on the frost layer growth of a heat exchanger. The numerical results are compared with experimental data of a cold plate to validate the present model, and agree well with experimental data within a maximum error of 8%. The characteristics of the frost formation on staggered fin array are somewhat different from those of in-line array. The frost layer at the first fin of the in-line array grows rapidly, compared to second fin, whereas the difference of the frost layer growth between the fins of the staggered array is small. For fin pitch below 10 mm, the frost layer growth of second fin in the staggered array is affected by that of first fin. The frost layer growth and heat transfer of single fin deteriorate with decreasing fin pitch regardless of fin array, however, the thermal performance of a heat exchanger, considering increase of heat surface area, becomes better.

This paper presents the effects of the fin array and pitch on the frost layer growth of a heat exchanger. The numerical results are compared with experimental data of a cold plate to validate the present model, and agree well with experimental data within a maximum error of 8%. The frost behaviors of the staggered fin array are somewhat different from those of in-line array. The frost layer formed on the first fin of the in-line array grows rapidly, compared to second fin, whereas the difference of the frost layer growth between the fins of the staggered array is small. For fin pitch below 10 m, the frost layer growth of second fin in the staggered array is affected by that of first fin. The thickness of the frost layer and heat transfer of single fin are reduced with decreasing fin pitch regardless of fin array. However, the thermal performance of a heat exchanger is enhanced due to the increase of heat transfer surface area.

A three dimensional numerical analysis of the corrugated louver fin for a vehicle heat exchanger was performed. The heat transfer rate and the air pressure drop of the corrugated louver fins for a slim heater were compared with experimental results at the same operating conditions. As for the slim heater fin, we found an optimum fin pitch at certain operating conditions. As the fin pitch increased, the air pressure drop decreased. The vertical or flat top fin was superior to the common declined fin in the aspect of heat transfer performance. As the louver length increased, both the heat transfer rate and the air pressure drop increased.

In the present study, heat transfer characteristics of oil flow over offset strip fins were predicted by the numerical methods. Oil flow in the plate-fin passage was idealized by 2 dimensions. The flow patterns and heat transfer characteristics were predicted in details. Numerical results shows that the average convective heat transfer coefficients are almost independent on the raws of fins and affected by fin pitches. At the rear face of fin, there exists minimum point of heat transfer coefficients where stream are separated from the fin surfaces. The convective heat transfer coefficients were effected by separation bubbies which appeared at the wake region of offset strip fins.

In this paper, a numerical study was performed to investigate the performance characteristics of a pre-heater. The effects of fin pitch and fin array type(in-line, staggered, leaned array) were reported in terms of Colburn j-factor and Fanning friction factor f, as a function of Re. Three-dimensional numerical simulation has been performed by using flow analysis program, FLUENT 13.0. The results show that Colburn j-factor decreases with the decrease of fin pitch attached in the annular tube. But the fin pitch has little effect on f-factor. The staggered array and leaned array show improved heat transfer performance compared with in-line array, so that Colburn j-factor was increased. It also shows that the f-factor of leaned array is the highest in the studied range of Reynolds number.
