One of the best ways of making efficient use of energy in residential units is to use heat pump. Heat pump performance can be further enhanced by integrating a solar thermal unit to provide hot water and subsidize space heating. This paper presents numerically examined energy feasibility study of a solar driven heat pump system for a low energy residence, where a flat plate solar collector served as the sole low temperature heat source. A parametric study on the ambient-to-solar fluid heat transfer coefficient has been conducted to determine the required solar collector heat transfer characteristics in this system. Solar collector area and storage tank volume were varied to investigate their impact on the system performance. A new performance indicator availability was defined to assess the contribution of the solar collector as low temperature energy source of the heat pump. Results showed that the use of a solar collector as low temperature heat source was feasible if its heat transfer rate (UA-value) was 200 W/K or higher. Achievement of this value with a realistic solar collector area (A-value) required an increase of the overall ambient-to-solar fluid heat transfer coefficient (U-value) with a factor of 6 to 8 compared to the base case with only natural convection heat exchange between solar collector cover and ambient.

With reducing energy demand and required installed mechanical system power of modern residences, alternate heat pump system configurations with a possible increased economic viability emerge. Against this background, this paper presents a numerically examined energy feasibility study of a solar driven heat pump system for a low energy residence in a moderate climate, where a covered flat plate solar collector served as the sole low temperature heat source. A parametric study on the ambient-to-solarfluid heat transfer coefficient was conducted to determine the required solar collector heat transfer characteristics in this system setup. Moreover, solar collector area and storage tank volume were varied to investigate their impact on the system performance. A new performance indicator “availability” was defined to assess the contribution of the solar collector as low temperature energy source of the heat pump. Results showed that the use of a solar collector as low temperature heat source was feasible if its heat transfer rate (UA-value) was 200 W/K or higher. Achieving this value with a realistic solar collector area (A-value) required an increase of the overall ambient-to-solarfluid heat transfer coefficient (U-value) with a factor 6–8 compared to the base case with heat exchange between covered solar collector and ambient.

The Relationship

This paper presents an experimental study on total heat transfer coefficient (ht) in oscillating heat pipe heat exchanger hot air flow tunnels, ht plays an important role in the oscillating heat pipes design process. In this paper, ht and the convective heat transfer coefficient (h) was investigated by experimentally and theoretical calculation respectively. From experimental study, the relationship between the ratio of heat transfer coefficient and the relative humidity is obtained. The results show that the ratio of ht to h increases from 5 to 20 as the relative humidity of the hot gas increasing from 19.22% to 60%. According to the experimental data, a matched curve and an empirical equation were presented, which can be described as ht=h(1.87783+0.09631x+0.0032x2).

Loop Heat Pipes

Loop Heat Pipes (LHPs) are used in many thermal management applications, especially for micro-electronics cooling, because of their ability to passively transport thermal energy from a source to a sink. This paper describes the development of a parametric model for a non-conventional LHP operating in steady state, employed to cool Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). This device is comprised of a flat evaporator, and a finned circular loop wherein condensation and sub-cooling of the working fluid takes place. Unlike a conventional LHP, this device has no compensation chamber. In the mesh screen of the evaporator, the vapor flow entrains liquid and hence the quality of the two-phase mixture leaving the evaporator (xevap) is less than unity (unlike in a conventional LHP where saturated vapor leaves the evaporator). Since this lower quality (approximately 0.2) results in a smaller ratio of latent energy to sensible energy being removed by the condenser and sub-cooler respectively; the ratio of the length of the sub-cooler to condenser length is significantly larger. This results in more stable and controlled operation of the device. Mathematical models of the evaporator, the condenser and the sub-cooler sections are developed, and two closure conditions are employed in this model. For consistency and accuracy, some parameters in the model, such as the natural convection heat transfer coefficient (h o) and a few thermal resistances in the evaporator, are estimated empirically from test data on the device. The empirically obtained value of the heat transfer coefficient is in very good agreement with correlations from the literature. The parametric model accurately predicts the LED board temperature and other temperatures for a specific amount of thermal energy dissipated by the LEDs.

Porous sintered microstructures are critical to the functioning of passive heat transport devices such as heat pipes. The topology and microstructure of the porous wick play a crucial role in determining the thermal performance of such devices. Three sintered copper wick samples employed in commercial heat pipes are characterized in this work in terms of their thermal transport properties––porosity, effective thermal conductivity, permeability, and interfacial heat transfer coefficient. The commercially available samples of nearly identical porosities (∼61% open volume) are CT scanned at 5.5 μm resolution, and the resulting image stack is reconstructed to produce high-quality finite volume meshes representing the solid and interstitial pore regions, with a conformal mesh at the interface separating these two regions. The resulting mesh is then employed for numerical analysis of thermal transport through fluid-saturated porous sintered beds. Multiple realizations are employed for statistically averaging out the randomness exhibited by the samples under consideration. The effective thermal conductivity and permeability data are compared with analytical models developed for spherical particle beds. The dependence of effective thermal conductivity of sintered samples on the extent of sintering is quantified. The interfacial heat transfer coefficient is compared against a correlation from the literature based on experimental data obtained with spherical particle beds. A modified correlation is proposed to match the results obtained.

The Heat Transfer Coefficient

Transient cooling techniques were developed for the direct simultaneous measurement of full coverage multi-jet impingement heat transfer coefficient and cooling effectiveness under high temperature combustion convective wall heating conditions. A step change in the impingement coolant flow rate was made and the change in temperature recorded as a function of time, from which the heat transfer coefficient was calculated. A comparison between steady state and transient techniques was also made on a conventional low temperature electrically heated test facility and good agreement was found. There was reasonable agreement between the high temperature heat transfer coefficients and the low temperature results, using similar transient cooling techniques. There was little influence of the coolant to wall temperature ratio on the impingement heat transfer coefficient or the cooling effectiveness obtained from the high temperature test rig. The transient technique was used to study the influence of crossflow in the impingement gap on both the cooling effectiveness and the heat transfer coefficient for a range of low pressure loss impingement walls with an X/D of 1.9–11.
