물 냉각기의 응축기와 증발기의 형상(길이, 관 직경, 관수, 통로 수)은 설비비용에 관련된 열전달 면적과 운전비용에 관련된 압력강하와의 조화로 결정될 수 있다. 물 냉각기 (냉동사이클)의 쉘-관 형상의 열교환기(응축기와 증발기)의 관 내부로 물이 통과할 때, 주어진 냉각부하와 요구조건을 만족하면서, 물 압력강하가 작은 설계조건에 초점을 맞추었다. 상업용 강화튜브의 사용과 상용 소프트웨어를 사용한 해석결과의 검증으로 실용성과 신뢰성 확보를 도모하였다. 해석결과, 관 통로 수를 적게, 관 직경을 크게, 관 수를 많게 선정하면, 관 길이를 짧게 하므로 물측 압력강하를 줄일 수 있었다. 그러나, 관수가 특정값보다 많을 때는 오히려 작은 관 직경을 사용하는 것이, 내부열저항의 감소로 인한 단위 길이 당 총열저항 감소 때문에, 관 길이를 짧게 하여 설비비용을 줄일 수 있었다.

The new shape of louver-fin has been applied to a parallel flow condenser to enhance air-side heat transfer rate lot an automotive air-conditioner R- l34a is employed as a refrigerant inside the flat tube of the condenser, This problem is of particular interest in reducing the geometric size of the automotive air conditioner The effect of air flow rate on pressure drop as well as heat transfer in air side are studied in detail. Comparison of the performance is also made with that of a conventional parallel flow condenser, which is available in the market. The results obtained indicate that the total pressure drop through the pre sent condenser is not changed, while the heat transfer rate is increased by 24% at high veto city of air flow, compared with those of the conventional condenser. The parallel flow condenser with a new shape of louver-fin could be reduced in size by 20% for the equivalent condenser capacity, compared with the conventional parallel flow condenser.

A numerical study was performed to predict refrigerant charge amount in a mini-channel condenser for a R410A residential air-conditioning system. Multi-channel flat tubes with 12 mini-channels of 1.17 mm average hydraulic diameter for each tube were applied to the condenser. The condenser consisted of 3 passes, and the first, second, and third pass had 44, 19, and 11 tubes, respectively. Each pass was connected by a vertical header. In this study, the condenser was divided into 410 finite volumes, and analyzed by an $\varepsilon$-NTU method. With thermophysical properties and void fraction models for each volume element, the R410A amount distribution and a total charge amount in the condenser were calculated. The predicted total charge amount was compared with the experimentally measured charge amount under a standard ARI A condition. The developed model could predict the charge amount in the mini-channel condenser within prediction errors from -23.9% to -3.0%. Air velocity distribution at the condenser face was considered as non-uniform and uniform by the simulation model, and its results showed that the air velocity distribution could significantly influence the charge amount and vapor phase distribution in the condenser.

A ball strainer screen module, which is used for a condenser tube cleaning system, is a critical mechanical component for maintaining condenser cleanliness. Despite of this importance, not many research have been focused on this module because of its relatively low usage. Employing CFD, this study examines the implication of fluid velocity change and blockage ratio on the ball strainer screen velocity and the static pressure distribution. Through this study, the impact of blockage in the space between ball strainer screen modules is verified. Also, it is found that the ranges of non-dimensional velocity distribution and static pressure distribution decrease as blockage ratio becomes smaller.

In this study, newly-developed slim electronic panel cooler with aluminum PF condenser and evaporator was tested and the results are compared with imported panel cooler with fin-tube heat exchangers. The PF heat exchangers significantly (approximately 45%) reduced the refrigerant charge. The air-side pressure drop was also reduced, which resulted in the reduction of the sound level of the panel cooler. The effect of the condenser size was also investigated.

공랭식 응축기는 대기중의 공기를 이용해 스팀을 응축수로 전환시키는 발전용 냉각설비이다. 추운 겨울철, 공랭식 응축기는 열교환부 관내의 응축수가 동결되어 튜브 자체가 터지는 심각한 동파 문제를 수반한다. 이는 기존 공랭식 응축기 시스템이 가지는 튜브 출구의 구조적 문제로 인한 응축되지 않은 스팀 및 비응축성 기체의 역류가 주요 원인이 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 유사 모의 공랭식 응축기 시스템을 설계 및 제작하여 기존의 공랭식 응축기 시스템이 가지고 있는 문제점을 구현하고, 이를 해결하기 위한 설계가 가능함을 실험적으로 증명하였다. 기존 공랭식 응축기 시스템의 작동 원리와 유사한 조건에서 실시한 실험에서 역류에 의한 튜브 동결을 관찰할 수 있었다. 반면 신개념 공랭식 응축기 시스템을 적용한 실험에서는 역류 및 동결 발생없이 열교환이 잘 이루어짐을 확인할 수 있었다.

The frequency response characteristics of a condenser were numerically studied for the control of refrigeration and air conditioning systems. The important parameters, such as the refrigerant flow rate, refrigerant temperature, air velocity, and air temperature at the condenser inlet, were analyzed. Superheated vapor, two phase, and subcooled liquid domain in condenser can be described by using the energy balance equation and the mass balance equation in refrigerant and tube wall, the basic equation for describing the dynamic characteristics of condenser can be derived. The transfer function for describing dynamic response of the condenser to disturbances can be obtained from using linearizations and Laplace transformations of the equation. From this transfer function, analytical investigation which affects the frequency responses of condenser has been made. Block diagrams were made based on the analytic transfer function; dynamic responses were evaluated in Bode diagrams on the frequency response. Through this study, it became possible that the information about the dynamic characteristics of air-cooled condenser is offered. The results may be used for determining the optimum design parameters in actual components and entire systems. Also, the mathematical models, frequency response may be used to help understanding, evaluate optimum design parameters, design control systems and determine on setting the best controller for the refrigeration and air-conditioning systems.

The flow pattern inside the power condenser is generally known to be very complicated due to the phase change and turbulence effects as well as the effect of condenser geometry. In the present study, the flow pattern inside the power condenser was numerically simulated with a personal computer. The widely known CHAMPION 2/E/FIX(Concentration, Heat and Momentum Program Instruction Outfit, 2D/Elliptic/Fixed grid) computer code was modified for this purpose. The flow was asssumed to be two-dimensional and steady-state, and the tube bank was considered to be homogeneous porous medium. Simple turbulent diffusion coefficients based on the appropriate experiments were obtained for the computation. Through this analytical approach, the flow pattern could be predicted fairly well. The computational results also show that the location of the air vent plays an important key role in determining the efficiency of the condenser.

The objectives of this paper are to study the characteristics of heat transfer for enhanced tubes (19.05 mm) used in the condenser with high saturation temperatures and to provide a guideline for optimum design of a condenser using HFC134a. Three different enhanced tubes are tested at a high saturation temperature of $59.8^{\circ}C$ (16 bar); a low-fin and three turbo-C tubes.. The refrigerant, HFC134a is condensed on the outside of the tube while the cooling water flows inside the tube. The film Reynolds number varies from 130 to 330. The wall subcooling temperature ranges from $2.7^{\circ}C$ to $9.7^{\circ}C$. This study provides experimental heat transfer coefficients for condensation on the enhanced tubes. It is found that the turbo-C(2) tube provides the highest heat transfer coefficient.

Pannier-arrangement condensers are usually adopted in the turbine generator units of combined cycle power plants. Optimization of operating performance and economy is an important goal, which requires accurate understanding of flow and heat transfer effects in the condenser. The tube bundle arrangement and steam flow behaviors of pannier-arrangement condensers are very different from those of common condensers. The physical model for existing numerical simulation program of condenser is refined by constructing the correlations for flow resistance and condensation heat exchange coefficient in which the influences of steam flow direction are considered according to available experimental data. The adaptability of the developed physical model and simulation program of pannier-arrangement condenser is verified with available experimental data.
