본 연구는 핀-관 열교환기의 건표면과 습표면 조건에서의 공기측 열전달 및 마찰특성을 실험을 통해 이해하고자 수행하였다. 핀-관 열교환기의 성능평가 및 해석기술을 확보하기 위하여 공기엔탈피식 칼로리 미터를 이용하였다. 핀형상은 슬릿과 평판이며, 관경은 7.0mm로 2열과 3열 핀-관 열교환기 4종에 대해 실험하여, 건표면과 습표면의 공기측 열전달 및 마찰특성을 조사하였다. 습표면에서 습도변화(RH 50%, 70%)에 따른 습도영향도 조사하였다. 건표면 조건에서 Re 수가 증가할수록 j 계수는 감소하며, 2열이 3열보다 높았다. 마찰계수는 슬릿 핀이 평판 핀보다 높았다. 습표면 조건에서 슬릿 핀이 평판 핀보다 그리고 2열이 3열보다 우수한 열전달효과를 나타내었다. j 계수와 마찰계수는 습도변화, 열수, 핀 형상에 따라 달라짐을 확인하였다.

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.

Recently, a study on condensers for refrigerators has focused on new model which will cost less and will be more efficient. Some widely used condensers for domestic refrigerators are wire-and-tube type condenser, hot-wall type condenser, and spiral type condenser. Some companies which use the spiral type condenser at the moment try to develop a new type condenser which will cost less and will be as efficient as the spiral type. The new type condenser consists of a steel tube, steel plates and louver fins attached to the tube. The tube and the plate are bent into a single-passage serpentine shape.

A plate-fin heat exchanger is a type of heat exchanger widely used in air conditioners, and tubes and fins are tightly assembled by the mechanical expansion process of tubes. The tube expansion process deforms the grooves inside the tube, and the groove shapes also affect the adhesion between tubes and fins. In this study, the adhesion and heat transfer performance affected by the tube expansion of the non-uniform groove shape tube with different heights are investigated by both analysis and experiments. From the analysis method, it was shown that the contact pressure of non-uniform groove tube is higher than that of the uniform groove tube, and the most appropriate high groove number of the non-uniform groove tube is designed for the maximum contact pressure. From the experimental results, the decreasing rate of the condensation heat transfer coefficient is smaller in the non-uniform groove tube with different heights, compared to the conventional uniform groove tube. Also, the air-side heat transfer coefficient of the non-uniform groove tube with different heights is higher than that of the uniform groove tubes.

As analysis parameters, the effect of condenser geometry and air velocity was investigated. For validation of the numerical calculations, the results were compared with the experimental ones. The heat transfer rates for both results were consistent with each other by maximum 5 % error. Based on this comparison, the numerical analysis was done with some modifications. As a result, it has been observed that there is a suitable fin pitch with which heat transfer performance of condenser is maximized.

There are a variety of heat exchangers used in automobiles, such as shell and tube heat exchangers, double tube heat exchangers, and plate heat exchangers. Most of them are water-cooled to prevent engine overheating. There have been reports of corrosion damage to these heat exchangers due to continuous wetting caused by external temperature differences, road pollutants, and snow removal. In addition, galvanic corrosion, which occurs when two dissimilar materials come into contact, has been identified as a major cause. In this study, corrosion characteristics and galvanic corrosion behavior of Al alloy (AA3003, AA4045 and AA7072) used in automobile heat exchangers were analyzed. Effective clad materials for heat exchanger tubes and fins were also evaluated. It was found that AA7072 should be applied as the cladding material for fin AA3003 and that AA4045 was suitable as a cladding material for tube AA3003 because this clad materials application was the most effective clad design to delay the occurrence of pinhole in the tube. Main factors influencing galvanic corrosion dissolution were found to be galvanic corrosion potential difference and galvanic corrosion current density.

As an improvement in the standard of living and economic growth, the demand for air conditioning equipment is increasing rapidly. Nowadays, air conditioning equipments are being used for industry, large building, house and car. There equipments were concentrated on improving heat efficiency of economic aspects while thy design heat exchanger for cooling and heating. These air conditioning equipments using heat exchanger cause a discomfort to user due to generating mist at the beginning of operating. Therefore, the user demand air of high class and quality. In this experimental study, to acquire elementary data for development of heat exchanger which be able to supply air of high quality, that is to say, possess a restraint effect of mist generation. We estimate an effect on cooling plate quality, supply air velocity, supply air temperature, cooled plate temperature and supply air relative humidity which have an influence on outlet air condition of heat exchanger.

Typically, condensate forms as droplets on the fin surfaces and may bridge the space between the fin surfaces. This is due to the dry characteristics inherent to the fin surface. The droplets increase the air-side pressure drop. In the case of high air velocities, these droplets may be blown off the fins and entrained in the air stream. To minimize the formation of condensate droplet, the wet ability of the fins must be improved. The carry-over velocity is affected by fin surface characteristics. To avoid carry-over in the air conditioner having the highest air velocity of 1.5 m/sec, the dynamic contact angle (DCA) should be at least lowly under $60^{\circ}$.

지구 온난화와 화석 연료 고갈로 인해 $CO_2$ 저감과 효율 상승을 동시에 만족하는 기술 개발이 요구된다. 배기 열 회수 기술은 두 가지를 모두 만족할 수 있는 대표적인 기술이다. 본 연구는 배기 열 회수 장치를 위한 세 가지 형식의 증발기용 열교환기를 배기관에 설치하여 실험 및 분석하였다. 고속최대부하에서 판형 열교환기의 배압이 가장 높아지고 실린더 최고 압력이 낮아지며 일산화탄소 배출량도 증가하였다. 또한 고속에서 배압이 2배 이상 증가하며 연료소비율이 2% 증가되어 열교환기 중 가장 높은 증가량을 나타내었다. 핀 튜브 열교환기는 전반적으로 배기 배출물이 적게 배출되고 연료소비율도 가장 적게 나타났다. 쉘 앤 튜브는 판형과 핀 튜브 성능의 중간정도이다. 엔진에 미치는 영향으로만 판단할 때 핀 튜브 열교환기가 배기 열 회수에 가장 적합한 열교환기로 판단된다.
