Condensation heat transfer characteristics of hydrocarbon. refrigerants inside horizontal tubes

수평평활관내 탄화수소계 냉매의 응축전열 특성에 관한 연구

This study investigated the condensation heat transfer coefficients of R-22, R-290 and R-600a inside horizontal tube. Heat transfer measurements were peformed for smooth tube with outside diameter of 12.7 mm Condensation temperatures and mass velocity were ranged from 308 K to 323 K and $51kg/\textrm{m}^2s$s to $250kg/\textrm{m}^2s$, respectively. The test results showed that the local condensation heat transfer coefficients increased as the mass flux increased, and also the effects of mass velocity on heat transfer coefficients of R-290 and R-600a were less than R-22. Average condensation heat transfer coefficients of natural refrigerants were superior to that of R-22. The present results had a good agreement with Haraguchi's correlation.
