본 연구에서는 구리 재질의 평판 핀과 나선형 핀-관 열교환기에 대하여 핀 피치와 열수의 변화에 따른 공기측 전열성능을 검토하였다. 두 형상 모두 핀 피치가 열전달계수에 미치는 영향은 미미하였다. 마찰인자는 핀 피치가 증가하면 증가하였다. 열수가 미치는 영향은 형상에 따라 다르게 나타났다. 평판 핀-관 열교환기의 경우 열전달계수는 열수가 증가할수록 감소하였다. 하지만 나선형 핀-관 열교환기의 열전달 계수는 열수가 증가하면서 그 값이 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 평판 핀-관 열교환기의 열전달계수는 나선형 핀-관 열교환기의 열전달계수보다 높게 나타났다. 하지만 열수가 증가하면 그 차이가 줄어들어 4열이 되면 거의 같았다. 한편 마찰인자는 평판 핀-관 열교환기에서 다소 높게 나타나고 열수의 영향은 크지 않았다. 본 실험 데이터를 기존 상관식의 예측치와 비교하였다.

본 연구는 평판 핀-튜브 증발기와 나선형 핀-튜브 증발기를 적용한 가정용 냉장고의 성능특성 비교를 통하여 기존에 사용하고 있는 핀-튜브 증발기를 나선형 핀-튜브 증발기로 대체할 수 있는 가능성을 고찰하는데 그 목적이 있다. 실험은 2단 15열의 평판 핀-튜브 증발기와 2단 15열에서 2단 11열까지 열 수를 단계적으로 감소시킨 3종류의 나선형 핀-튜브 증발기를 실제 냉장고에 적용하여 수행하였다. 핀-튜브 증발기의 열 수가 감소할수록 냉동시스템의 최적 냉매 충전량은 감소하였으며, 2단 13열과 2단 11열의 나선형 핀-튜브 증발기를 장착한 냉장고의 소비전력은 기존 2단 15열의 평판 핀-튜브 증발기를 적용한 냉장고 대비 각각 1.5%와 2.8% 감소하였다. 또한 내착상 실험결과 나선형 핀-튜브 증발기가 기존 평판 핀-튜브 증발기와 비교하여 같은 착상조건에서 3~7% 향상된 냉각능력을 보였다. 냉각속도 실험에서는 모든 증발기는 동등수준의 성능을 나타내었다.

This study experimentally examines the air-side performance of spiral finned tube heat exchangers. The effects of fin spacing, fin height, and tube alignment were investigated. Reduction of fin spacing decreased the Colburn j factor. However, the effect of fin height on the Colburn j factor was negligible. An increase of tube row decreased the Nusselt number for both staggered and in-line tube alignments. However, the decrease of the Nusselt number for the in-line tube alignment was much more significant than that of the staggered tube alignment. The average Nusselt number of the staggered tube alignment was larger than that of the in-line tube alignment by $10\%$ when the Reynolds number ranged from 300 to 1700. An empirical correlation of the Nusselt number was developed by using geometric parameters of heat exchanger and correction factors. The correction factor considered the effects of tube alignment and number of tube rows on the heat transfer. The proposed correlation yielded a mean deviation of $4\%$ from the present data.

Heat transfer and pressure drop for single phase flow of water in circular smooth and micro-fin tubes are measured. Copper tubes of 9.52 and 7mm outer diameter were used. The internal roughness in micro-fin tubes was formed by spiral grooves having $25^{\circ}$ helx angle, 0. 12mm fin height and 0.454mm pitch in 9.52mm tubes; $18^{\circ}$ helix angle, 0.15mm fin height and 0.322mm pitch in 7mm tubes. The measured friction factor and heat transfer coefficient are compared with relevant previous works, and the correlations for micro-fin tube are developed.

A numerical investigation of single phase heat and flow characteristics in circular tubes with a single set of spiral micro fins was performed with varying geometrical parameters like fin height, spiral angle, and number of fins. The properties of $40^{\circ}C$ water was used as a working fluid to simulate a condenser and the RNG $k-{\epsilon}$ turbulence model was adopted. Calculation results were obtained in fully developed turbulent flow with constant surface heat flux boundary condition. Relative terms were introduced to investigate the substitution effect of conventional smooth tubes. The dimensionless terms were the heat transfer enhancement factor, the pressure drop penalty factor, and the efficiency index. Additionally, a numerical optimization was carried out to maximize thermal performance with the concept of the robust design. A statistical analysis showed that fin height interacts with number of fins and spiral angle.

As an innovative effort to secure economically viable heat recovery system, various fin shapes for industrial fin-tube heat exchangers have been studied for better performance. In this study, the waste gas heat recovery from four different fin shapes was experimentally performed for heat transfer rate and pressure drop. According to the tested results, the twist and wavy shape fins of rectangular type show the superior performance in terms of Goodness factor and jH/f factor ratio, whereas the circular spiral fin shows the inferior values. Experimental results shows good comparison with the numerical results with a slight discrepancy of 5%, which is quite resonable.

This paper is a continuation of the authors' previous work on spiral coil heat exchangers. In the present study, the heat transfer characteristics and the performance of a spirally coiled finned tube heat exchanger under wet-surface conditions are theoretically and experimentally investigated. The test section is a spiral-coil heat exchanger which consists of a steel shell and a spirally coiled tube unit. The spiral-coil unit consists of six layers of concentric spirally coiled finned tubes. Each tube is fabricated by bending a 9.6 mm diameter straight copper tube into a spiral-coil of four turns. The innermost and outermost diameters of each spiral-coil are 145.0 and 350.4 mm, respectively. Aluminium crimped spiral fins with thickness of 0.6 mm and outer diameter of 28.4 mm are placed around the tube. The edge of fin at the inner diameter is corrugated. Air and water are used as working fluids in shell side and tube side, respectively. The experiments are done under dehumidifying conditions. A mathematical model based on the conservation of mass and energy is developed to simulate the flow and heat transfer characteristics of working fluids flowing through the heat exchanger. The results obtained from the present model show reasonable agreement with the experimental data.

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.

Intercooling and aftercooling are required in order to operate air compressor, these are conducted through air-cooled or water-cooled heat exchangers. This study aims to find more suitable type of heat exchanger as a water-cooled intercooler of air compressor. Comparative performance evaluation among fin-tube heat exchanger and shell-and-tube (S&T) heat exchanger having various tubes such as circular tube, spiral tube, and internally finned tube was conducted. Thermal-hydraulic performance of each heat exchanger type is evaluated in terms of temperature drop and pressure drop. The comparisons show that shell-and-tube heat exchangers may have similar and larger heat transfer capacity to the fin-tube heat exchanger if tube diameter is reduced and multiple pass is adopted. For these cases, however, compressed air pressure drop in shell-and-tube heat exchanger become much larger than that in fin-tube heat exchanger.
