Enhanced Heat Transfer

The pulsation-enhanced heat transfer technology is introduced, and a volume coil heat exchanger is designed. A pulsation valve is installed at the heat exchanger outlet of the heat exchanger to pulsate the heat medium, and the same heat exchanger is subjected to pulsation and non-pulsation heat transfer tests. Based on the experiments, combined with the theory of pulsation-enhanced heat transfer technology, heat transfer capacity, heat flow, and convective heat transfer coefficient coefficients, the effective temperature difference, heat flow, and convective heat transfer coefficient of the heat exchanger at different pulse frequencies are analyzed. The relationship between the pulsation frequency of the heat transfer effect of the heat exchanger is obtained. The test results show that the heat exchanger has higher heat exchange efficiency when there is pulsation under the test conditions.

Plate Heat

Pulse enhanced heat transfer technology is introduced, and a plate heat exchanger is designed. A pulsating valve is installed at the outlet of the heat exchanger to pulsate the heat medium. Pulsating and non-pulsating heat transfer tests are carried out on the same heat exchanger. On the basis of experiments, the effective temperature difference, heat flow and convective heat transfer coefficient of the heat exchanger at different pulse frequencies are analyzed by combining the theory of pulse enhanced heat transfer technology, heat transfer capacity, heat flow and convective heat transfer coefficient. Find the relationship between pulsation frequency of heat transfer effect of heat exchanger. The experimental results show that the heat exchanger has high heat transfer efficiency under the experimental conditions when there is pulsation.

Transfer Enhancement

Heat transfer enhancement in laminar regime by split and recombine (SAR) mechanism, based on the baker’s transformation, is investigated. Two different heat exchangers, called SAR1 and SAR2, are studied. Their geometries are inspired from the previous studies reported in the literature. The working fluid on both, shell and tube side, is water and the temperature on the shell side is kept constant. Experiments are carried out for the Reynolds number range 100<Re<3000 when the Prandtl number is between 4.5 and 7.5. The results show that the convective heat transfer coefficient in the first element of heat exchanger SAR1 is higher than that in the second one, i.e. SAR2. However, the variation in the convective heat transfer coefficient from the first to the third element along the heat exchanger SAR2 is less significant than that observed for SAR1. Moreover, SAR2 causes a higher pressure drop, especially when Re>1000, and provides a less uniform temperature field at the outlet.

Grooved Tube

Internally grooved copper tubes are used extensively in HVAC applications, direct expansion batteries and air or water cooled heat exchangers. The advantage of internally grooved copper tubes in evaporator and condenser units is an increase in the refrigerant-side heat transfer coefficient. When an internally grooved tube heat exchanger and a smooth-tube heat exchanger with the same dimensions are compared, the overall heat transfer coefficient and convective heat transfer coefficient are found to increase in different ratios. In addition to this difference, the refrigerant side pressure is found to be a function of the groove geometry, pitch space and choice of refrigerant. In this study, which is different from previous studies in the literature performed using single internally grooved tube condensers and evaporators, refrigerant R404-A is studied in the internally grooved tube evaporator. The heat transfer in the evaporator described here is 30% better than that observed in a conventional smooth-copper-tube evaporator. In the internally grooved tube, the internal surface area is 68% larger than that inside the smooth reference tube. As a result, the convective heat transfer coefficient inside the internally grooved tube is found to be lower than that in the smooth tube.
