This work was performed to investigate the heat transfer characteristics of the circular fin-tube heat exchanger. This paper contains the experimental data for the seven kinds of fin geometries. The correlation of Stasiulevicius agreed with the experimental data at high Reynolds number, however not well at low Reynolds number. The Nusselt number was well correlated with Graetz number, and showed a transition near Gz=10. An empirical correlation proposed in the present work agreed well with the experimental data.

The present paper reports the method for evaluation of heat-transfer performance of finned tube heat exchangers in a low Reynolds number regime (Re = $160\~800$) and also reports the data of heat transfer and pressure loss taken from a finned tube heat exchanger with/without vortex generators (VGs) installed as a heat-transfer enhancement device. The evaluation is based on the modified single blow method conducted in a specially designed low Reynolds number duct. Three different test core geometries, i.e., fin only, fin-tube without VGs and that with VGs, are studied here. The data of heat transfer and pressure loss taken from the fin only geometry agree well with the empirical correlations, thus validating the present method as used for low Reynolds number regime. The data taken from the finned tube geometries with and without VGs are presented and compared to examine the effect of VGs in the low Reynolds number regime.

In this study, condensation heat transfer characteristics were conducted with special heat transfer tubes of SH-C type. Experiments were carried out the saturated vapor temperature of 334K and the wall subcooling of 1.5-4.5K. The refrigerant was R-113 and the enhanced tubes used in the present study were SH-CDR, SH-CYR and SH-CHR. The experimental results showed that the condensation heat transfer coefficients of SH-C type tubes were about 23-66% higher than those of a low integral-fin tube. It was visualized that the condensed liquid on the outer surface of SH-C type tubes flowed continuously down unlike a low integral-fin tube and a plain tube, due to a 3-D extending fin on the outer surface of SH-C type tubes. As a result, the thermal resistance of the condensed liquid decreased and the heat transfer coefficient increased. Also, the enhancement ratio of SH-CDR tube was the highest, and it was about 9-11 times as compared to that of a plain tube.

Experimental results from nucleate pool boiling heat transfer with various finned tubes in CFC11, HCF123 and HCFC141b are reported. One plain tube and four low fin tubes of various fin densities were tested in an attempt to find out the optimum fin density in the heat flux range of 10-60 kW/m$^{[-992]}$ at near atmospheric pressure. The results indicated that CFC11 showed the highest heat transfer coefficients. Its alternatives, HCFC123 and HCFC141b, showed 3-5% lower heat transfer coefficients than those of CFC11 at the same heat flux. As the fin density increases, so does the heat transfer surface area. Measured heat transfer coefficients, however, do not necessarily always increase as the fin density increases. This unique phenomenon seems to be caused by the coalescence of the bubblers that prevent the cool liquid from entering into the fin valleys. For all the refrigerants tested, the optimum fin density yielding the highest performance was 28 fins per inch confirming the previous results by other researchers.

In this study, external condensation heat transfer coefficients (HTCs) of flammable refrigerants of propylene, propane, isobutane, butane, DME, and HFC32 were measured on a horizontal plain tube, 26 fpi low fin tube, and Turbo-C tube. All data were taken at the temperature of 39$^{\circ}C$ with a wall subcooling of 3∼8$^{\circ}C$. Test results showed a typical trend that condensation HTCs of flammable refrigerants decrease with increasing wall subcooling. HFC32 had the highest HTCs among the tested refrigerants showing 44% higher HTCs than those of HCFC22 while DME showed 28% higher HTCs than those of HCFC22. HTCs of propylene and butane were similar to those of HCFC22 while those of propane and isobutane were similar to those of HFC134a. Based upon the tested data, Nusselt's equation is modified to predict the plain tube data within a deviation of 3%. For 26 fpi low fin tube, Beatty and Katz equation predicted the data within a deviation of 7.3% for all flammable refrigerants tested. The heat transfer enhancement factors for the 26 fpi low fin and Turbo-C tubes were 4.6∼5.7 and 4.7∼6.9 respectively for the refrigerants tested indicating that the performance of Turbo-C tube is the best among the tubes tested.

흡수식 냉동기의 고효율화와 소형화를 위해서는 고성능 전열관의 연구가 필수적이다. 하지만 재생기용 전열관에 대한 연구는 많이 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 만액식 재생기용 전열관의 성능을 파악하기 위한 기초연구로, 형상이 다른 7종의 전열관에 대해 풀비등 실험을 수행하고 비등열전달계수를 도출하였다. 실험은 압력 7.38~101.3 kPa, 열유속 $20{\sim}40kW/m^2$의 범위에서 수행되었다. 실험결과 모든 전열관에서 압력이 증가하고 열유속이 증가할수록 비등열전달계수 값은 증가하였다. 대기압 조건에서는 notched fin 관과 low fin 관이 높은 비등열전달계수를 나타내었고(열전달계수가 가장 낮은 19.0 mm O.D. 평활관의 225% 와 202%), 압력이 낮아질수록 low fin 관이 다른 전열관에 비해 현저히 높은 비등열전달계수를 나타내었다 (12.34와 7.38 kPa에서 19.0 mm O.D. 평활관의 290%와 288%).

In this study, external condensation heat transfer coefficients (HTCs) are measured on a low fin tube and Turbo-C tubes at the saturated vapor temperature of $30^{\circ}C$, $39^{\circ}C$, and $50^{\circ}C$ for R22, R410A, R407C and R134a with the wall subcooled at $3{\~}8^{\circ}C$. The HTCs of all refrigerants decreased as increasing the saturation temperature from $30^{\circ}C$ to $50^{\circ}C$. This trend is due to better thermodynamic properties of the liquid phase at low temperature Beatty and Katz's prediction yielded a $20.0\%$ deviation for the low fin tube data. The heat transfer enhancement factors for the 26 fpi low fin tube and Turbo-C tubes are 4.0${\~}$5.5 and 3.0${\~}$8.1 respectively for the refrigerants tested. Finally the performance of Turbo-C tube is better than that of the low fin tube.

Heat transfer performance improvement by fin and groovs is studied for condensation of R-11 on integral-fin tubes. Eight tubes with trapczodially shaped integral-fins having fin density from 748 to 1654fpm(fin per meter) and 10, 30 grooves are tested. A plain tube having the same diameter as the finned tubes is also used for comparison. R-11 condensates at saturation state of 32 $^{\circ}C$ on the outside tube surface coded by inside water flow. All of test data are taken at steady state. The heat transfer loop is used for testing singe long tubes and cooling is pumped from a storage tank through filters and folwmeters to the horizontal test section where it is heated by steam condensing on the outside of the tubes. The pressure drop across the test section is measured by menas pressure gauge and manometer. The results obtained in this study is as follows : 1. Based on inside diameter and nominal inside area, overall heat transfer coefficients of finned tube are enhanced up to 1.6 ~ 3.7 times that of a plain tube at a constant Reynolds number. 2. Friction factors are up to 1.6 ~ 2.1 times those of plain tubes. 3. The constant pumping power ratio for the low integral-fin tubes increase directly with the effective area to the nominal area ratio, and with the effective area diameter ratio. 4. A tube having a fin density of 1299fpm and 30 grooves has the best heat transfer performance.

본 판형 핀-관형 응축기는 기존의 냉장고에 적용돼오던 원형 핀 콘덴서보다 약 30 % 정도 가벼운 무게를 갖는다. 가벼운 무게는 곧 재료비 줄임을 의미하기 때문에 동일한 성능만 구현된다면, 관련 산업발전에 큰 영향을 줄 수 있다. 이러한 판형-핀 열교환기가 적용된 가정용 냉장고 응축기의 실용화 가능성을 조사하기 위해 실험적인 연구가 수행된다. 실험평가에는 원래 적용돼오던 원형 핀-관 열교환기를 포함하여 총 네 가지 유형의 열교환기가 사용되며, 실제 가정용 냉장고와 비슷한 운전 상태를 제공하는 정교한 냉매공급 장치가 이용되고, 각 실험 시료에 대해 열전달율과 공기측 압력손실 등이 정밀하게 측정된다. 실험결과, 판형 핀-관 열교환기의 열전달 성능은 기존의 원형 핀-관 열교환기보다 13% 이상 작은 것으로 나타났으나, 공기측 유로압력손실이 작고 단위질량당 열전달률이 우수한 것으로 나타났으며, 공기유속 증가와 유로 변경과 같은 최적화에 의한 동일 성능 구현의 가능성을 보여주는 것으로 나타났다.

High-finned tubes have good thermal conductivity and have better cooling efficiency than plain tubes or low-fined tubes due to bigger air contact area. During high-fined tubes are manufactured by roll forming, the main technique is illustrated to optimizing primary material(copper pipe), optimized die matrix designing technique for roll forming, control manufacturing speed to develop productivity etc. In this study, a roll forming system was developed in oder to produce high-finned tube. Also a multi-step roll forming die was designed & built to produce high-finned tube that has over 10 mm fin height. And then, roll forming test using copper pipe was performed to produce high-finned tube. Roll forming process for producing highfinned tube was optimized by analyzing and adjusting misrostructure, hardness, and surface roughness of roll formed high-fined tube.
