This study is performed to investigate heat transfer characteristics for thermal performance of fin-and-tube sensible heat exchangers under the low air flowrate according to fin geometry combination and coolant flowrate control. Fins and tubes of samples were separated between front row and rear row. Experiment results are plotted heat transfer rate of each row, heat transfer coefficient and sensible heat ratio against water flowrate control of each row. It is observed that thermal performance can be enhanced by fin geometry combination and water flowrate control of each row under the low air flowrate.

An experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of a coolant circuit arrangement on the heat transfer and air pressure drop of a fin-tube sensible heat exchanger with the corrugated fin surface. The air inlet temperature was set to $23^{\circ}C$,the relative humidity to 50% and the air inlet flow rate to 20, 22, $25m^3/min$, respectively. while the coolant temperature was set to $7^{\circ}C$, and the coolant mass flow rate to 10, 16, 22kg/min, respectively. Experiment showed that the exchanger having a diameter of 12.7mm with parallel circuit does better performance in sensible heat transfer and air pressure drop than those three of diameter of 12.7mm with a series circuit and that with diameter of 15.88mm with a parallel circuit.

In this study, the behavior of frost formation according to surface characteristics in the fin-tube heat exchanger has been examined experimentally. The results show that the thickness of the frost which is attached to the hydrophilic heat exchanger becomes thin and the air pressure drop is smaller than that of bare aluminium heat exchanger However, the frost mass of hydrophilic heat exchanger is more than the bare one. Hence, high density frost is attached to hydrophilic heat exchanger. The sensible and latent heat flux of hydrophilic heat exchanger is bigger than that of bare one, but the increasing amount is very small and the improvement of thermal performance is also very small. The variation of fin-pitch of heat exchanger shows little influence on frost formation and hydrophilic heat exchanger loses its surface characteristics rapidly with increasing relative humidity.

In this paper, a calculation method for fin efficiency of continuous fin is introduced. The continuous fin of in-line and staggered arrangement was divided into many sectors and fin efficiencies of each sectors were calculated by assuming that each sectors be the circular fins. To get the converged fin efficiency which is averaged by the each areas, the number of sectors was increased. The results were compared with equivalnet method by varying the aspect ratios in both cases of in-line and staggered tube arrangement and showed some differences of fin efficiencies.

This study is related with the experimental investigation on the heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of the fin-and-tube heat exchangers with three different interrupted fins and a plane fin for air-conditioning application. Experiments were conducted accordingly following the appropriate development process. Geometry similitude experiment was introduced to predict the performance of fins, and prototype experiment was also performed to confirm the validity of geometry similitude experimental results. However, these experimental results were limited to the sensible heat transfer characteristics of the heat exchangers. Hence, additional experiment was performed using refrigerant to investigate the latent heat transfer characteristics. This paper presents an appropriate process for the development of a new type heat exchanger. Sensible and latent heat transfer characteristics for each fin configuration is also provided along with the optimal fin configuration.

In the present study, an experiment was conducted to investigate the heat and mass transfer performance of heat exchangers used in the condensing gas boiler. Two types of spiral circular fin-tube heat exchangers and a plain tube were tested in the flue gas of propane and dry air. Heat and mass transfer coefficients were measured and compared with the previous correlations. The experimental data for the sensible heat transfer of the plain tube reasonably agreed with the previous correlations for dry air and flue gas. However, the mass transfer coefficient of the plain tube was greater than the previous correlations. The pH, $NO_x$, and $SO_x$ data of condensate were provided.

본 연구에서는 핀-관형 히트파이프와 평행류형 히트파이프 제작하여 시험하였으며 분리형 히트파이프의 작동유체의 충진량은 40~60(% vol.), 풍량은 300~1,400 사이에서 변화시켜가며 온도교환 효율, 열회수량, 공기측 압력강하를 비교하였다. 온도교환 효율은 두 종류의 히트파이프 모든 경우에서 저 풍량에서는 작동유체 충진량이 40(%vol.)일 때가 가장 높았으며 풍량이 증가함에 따라 최대 효율을 가지는 작동유체 충진량이 다름을 알 수 있었고, 환기량이 작을수록 온도교환 효율이 높게 나타났다. 평행류형 히트파이프 60(%vol.)의 실험결과에서 보는 것과 같이 작동 유체를 너무 많이 충진하게 되면 오히려 낮은 온도교환 효율을 보이는데 이는 관벽의 액막이 두터워지면서 열전달 효과를 악화시킨 결과로 최적 충진량이 40~50(%vol.) 사이에 있음을 알 수 있다. 풍량 변화에 따른 공기측 압력강하 비교에서는 증발부 히트파이프가 응축부 히트파이프 보다 크게 계측 되었는데 증발부 표면에 생긴 결로수의 영향으로 생각된다. 평행류형 히트파이프는 핀-관형 히트파이프와 비교하여 냉매 충진량은 48%, 체적은 41%에서 동등이상의 성능을 보였으며, 공기측 압력강하도 37% 정도로 좋은 성능을 나타내었다.

It is well known that some key parameters, such as evaporating temperature, refrigerant mass flow rate, face velocity and inlet air temperature, have significant influence on the evaporator performance. However performance studies related to a humid environment have been very scarce. It is demonstrated that the refrigerant mass flow rate, heat flux, water condensing rate and air outlet temperature of the evaporator significantly increase with air inlet relative humidity. As the air inlet relative humidity increases, the latent and total heat transfer rates increase, but the sensible heat transfer rate decreases. The purpose of this study is to provide experimental data on the effect of air inlet relative humidity on the air and refrigerant side pressure drop characteristics for a slit fin-tube heat exchanger. Experiments were carried out under the conditions of inlet refrigerant saturation temperature of 7 $^{\circ}C$ and mass flux varied from 150 to 250 kg/$m^2$s. The condition of air was dry bulb temperature of 27$^{\circ}C$, air Velocity Varied from 0.38 to 1.6 m/s. Experiments Showed that air Velocity decreased 8.7% on 50% of relative humidity 40% of that at degree of superheat of 5$^{\circ}C$, which resulted that pressure drop of air and refrigerant was decreased 20.8 and 8.3% for 50% of relative humidity as compared to 40%, respectively.
