Effect of Fin Pitch on Air Side Heat Transfer in Louvered-Fin Heat Exchanger

루우버핀 열교환기의 핀피치가 공기측 열전달에 미치는 영향

In order to study on influence of fin pitch and shape of heat exchanger on the elevation of heat transfer efficiency, we make models of louvered fin type heat exchanger which was given a transformation of fin pitch in louvered fin type heat exchanger which are of en used now. And the influence of fin pitch on pressure drop and characteristics of heat transfer was experimented and analysed when air velocity and fin pitch was a variable. The results of experiment shows below. Pressure drop shows larger in louvered fin type heat exchanger than in plate fin type heat exchanger, size of pressure drop shows like this order that fin space is 4mm, 5mm, 6mm. Mean heat transfer coefficient shows higher in louvered fin type heat exchanger than in plate fin type heat exchanger, size of mean heat transfer coefficient by fin space shows same in both case in louvered fin type heat exchanger and plate fin type like this order that fin space is 4mm, 5mm, 6mm.
