Delta Winglet

Heat transfer rate, pressure loss and efficiency are considered as the most important parameters in designing compact heat exchangers. Despite different types of heat exchangers, fin-and-tube compact heat exchangers are still common device in different industries due to the diversity of usage and the low space installation need. The efficiency of the compact heat exchanger can be increased by introducing the fins and increasing the heat transfer rate between the surface and the surroundings. Numerous modifications can be applied to the fin surface to increase heat transfer. Delta-winglet vortex generators (VGs) are known to enhance the heat transfer between the energy carrying fluid and the heat transfer surfaces in plate-fin-and-tube banks, but they have drawbacks as well. They increase the pressure loss and this should be considered. In this paper, the thermal efficiency of compact heat exchanger with VGs is investigated in different variations. The angle of attack, the length and horizontal and vertical position of winglet are the main parameters to consider. Numerical analyses are carried out to examine finned tube heat exchanger with winglets at the fin surface in a relatively low Reynolds number flow for the inline tube arrangements. The results showed that the length of the winglet significantly affects the improvement of heat transfer performance of the fin-and-tube compact heat exchangers with a moderate pressure loss penalty. In addition, the results show that the optimization cannot be performed for one criterion only. More parameters should be considered at the same time to run the process properly and improve the heat exchanger efficiency.

Vortex generators (VGs) are one of the effective passive models used to increase the heat transfer rate in heat exchangers. In this experiment, heat transfer from six cylinders heated to the airflow was improved by attaching rectangular winglet vortex generators (RWVGs) to a plate in a rectangular channel. The installation aimed to increase the value of the thermal-hydraulic performance evaluation criteria in the line. This experimental study was carried out by varying the fluid flow velocity from 0.4 m/s to 2 m/s with an interval of 0.2 m/s in the channel. Three pairs of VGs were arranged in both in-line and staggered configurations. The experimental results show that the thermal-hydraulic performance evaluation criteria for three pairs of vortex generators in the staggered configuration was 15.17% higher than the baseline, while the thermal-hydraulic performance of the in-line arrangement was 1.54% higher than the staggered one.
