In this study, the following factors are investigated from experiments for a vertical parallel plate heat exchanger under the frosting condition ; the growth of frost layer, the characteristics of heat and mass transfer, the change of mass flow rate of the air passing through the heat exchanger, and the pressure drop of the air in the heat exchanger. The amount of heat and mass flux of water vapor transferred from the air stream to the heat exchanger surface is large at the early stage of frosting and then decreases dramatically, and the extent of decreasing rate becomes moderate with time. The frost layer formed near the inlet of the heat exchanger is thicker and denser than that formed near the outlet. It is found that the gradient of the amount of frost along the flow direction increases with time. In the early period of frost formation, the thermal resistance between the air and the cooling plate increases dramatically and then the extent of change decreases with time. Initially the convective thermal resistance is dominant. Then, while the convective thermal resistance decreases with time, the conductive thermal resistance continues to increase with time and finally the conductive thermal resistance becomes dominant.

A numerical study of heat and mass transfer has been carried out for a frost formation process on a circular cylinder in a cross flow including the effect of buoyancy. Studies include cases of low and high Reynolds number flows. The effect of normal velocity at the surface which is produced due to mass transfer was included in the analysis as well as heat transfer contribution generated due to mass transfer. Variations of heat transfer and frost growth both in time and in the circumferential direction have been obtained for various buoyancy parameters. The effect of flow directions(identical or opposite directions to the gravity) has been studied to yield different frost growth. Our results have been compared with existing experimental data and are in good agreement. Buoyancy analyses for a high Reynolds number flow agree with full numerical solutions for the case of having the same flow direction as gravity. However, for the opposite direction case, the boundary layer analyses would not be applicable to predict frost growth except the region near the stagnation point.

In this paper, frosting experiments were conducted with variations of frosting parameters in order to obtain the correlations of frost properties. As a result, the local thickness, density, and surface temperature of the frost layer were presented. The dimensionless correlations for the frost thickness, frost density, frost surface temperature and heat transfer coefficient were derived as functions of dimensionless frosting parameters by using a dimensional analysis.

This paper proposes an improved mathematical model for predicting the frosting behavior on a two-dimensional fin considering the heat conduction of heat exchanger fins under frosting conditions. The model consists of laminar flow equation in airflow, diffusion equation of water vapor for frost layer, and heat conduction equation in fin, and these are coupled together. In this model, the change in three-dimensional airside airflow caused by frost growth is accounted for. The fin surface temperature increased toward the fin tip due to the fin heat conduction. On the contrary, the temperature gradient in the airflow direction(x-dir.) is small throughout the entire fin. The frost thickness in the direction perpendicular to airflow, i.e. z-dir., decreases exponentially toward the fin tip due to non-uniform temperature distribution. The rate of decrease of heat transfer in the airflow direction is high compared to that in the z-direction due to more decrease in the sensible and latent heat rate in x-direction.

In the case of heat exchangers operating under frosting condition, the growth of frost layer causes the heat exchanger to increase the thermal resistance and pressure loss of the air flow. In this paper, a transient characteristic prediction model of the heat transfer for multi inverter heat pump with frosting on its surface was presented taking into account the change of the fin efficiency due to the growth of the frost layer. In this dynamic simulation program, which was peformed for a basic air conditioning system model, such as evaporator, condenser, compressor, linear electronic expansion valve (LEV) and bypass circuit. The theoretical model was driven from the obtained heat transfer coefficient and mass transfer coefficient, independently. And we consider heat transfer performance was only affected by a decrease of the wind flow area. The calculated results were compared with some cases of experiments for frosting conditions.

In case of heat exchangers operating under frosting condition, the thermal resistance and the air-side pressure loss increase with a growth of frost layer. In this paper, a transient characteristic prediction model of the heat transfer for a multi-inverter heat pump with frosting on its surface was presented by taking into account the change of the fin efficiency due to the growth of the frost layer. This dynamic simulation program was developed for a basic air conditioning system composed of an evaporator, a condenser, a compressor, a linear electronic expansion valve, and a bypass circuit. The theoretical model was derived from measured heat transfer and mass transfer coefficients. We also considered that the heat transfer performance was only affected by the decrease of wind flow area. The calculated results were compared with the experimental results for frosting conditions.

In this study, the experiment with 2rows-2columns fin-tube heat exchanger under forced convection and frosting condition is performed. The influence of each operating condition(the temperature of air, the humidity of air, the velocity of air, the temperature of coolant) on the growth of frost layer, air-side pressure drop, and characteristics of heat transfer is investigated. The experimental results show that the frost thickness increases rapidly in the early stage of frost formation and increases linearly after sometime. The frost thickness increases with the increase of the inlet air humidity and velocity and the decrease of inlet air temperature and coolant temperature. It is also found that the total energy transfer rate increases with the increase of inlet air temperature and velocity and with the decrease of inlet air humidity and coolant temperature.

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.

이 실험의 목적은 튜브형 증발관에서 입구 공기 속도, 온도와 상대 습도에 따른 서리층 생성의 비교 검토에 있다. 입구 공기 속도와 온도는 각각 $0.3^m/_s,\;0.6^m/_s,\;0.9^m/_s,\;15^{\circ}C,\;20^{\circ}C,\;25^{\circ}C$로 하였고, 상대 습도는 $70\%\~90\%$로 하였다. 그리고 일반적인 공조기용 열교환기에서의 서리발생 현상을 파악하기 위하여 냉각튜브의 온도를 $-15^{\circ}C$로 일정하게 유지하였다. 그 결과 공급공기의 상대습도, 유속 및 온도가 증가할수록 서리 생성량이 증가함을 알 수 있었다.

건축용 내외장재로 사용되는 도자타일은 최근에 오염 방지 기능에 대한 시장의 수요에 따라, $TiO_2$ 코팅을 통한 친수성(hydrophilic property) 표면개발 연구와 더불어 표면에서 물방울의 흐름성을 향상시켜 오염물질을 제거하는 소수성(hydrophobic property) 표면을 갖는 도자타일에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 특히 추가적인 코팅 공정 적용 없이 $1000^{\circ}C$ 이상의 소결 과정을 통해서 소수성을 갖으며, 기존 도자타일의 기계적 물성의 저하가 나타나지 않는 표면유약의 개발이 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 상용화 도자타일의 표면유약에 조성에 구리 분말을 첨가하여 기존 소결 공정을 적용하고, 추가 코팅 공정 없이 소수성 도자타일을 제작하고 표면유약의 두께에 따른 접촉각 특성 변화를 관찰하였다. 구리 분말이 첨가되지 않은 도자타일의 표면 접촉각은 $25^{\circ}$로 친수성을 보이는 반면에 구리 분말이 첨가된 표면유약이 $150{\mu}m$ 두께인 경우에 접촉각이 $109^{\circ}$까지 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 이와 같은 구리 분말이 첨가된 표면유약의 우수한 소수성 발현은 유약 표면에서 구리 입자의 세포 구조(cellular structure) 분포에 의한 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 개발된 소수성 도자타일의 기계적 물성(꺽임강도, 내화학성, 내마모성, 내동해성)은 기존 도자타일과 거의 동일하고 'KS L 1001 도자타일'의 기준을 만족하는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.
