The present paper reports the method for evaluation of heat-transfer performance of finned tube heat exchangers in a low Reynolds number regime (Re = $160\~800$) and also reports the data of heat transfer and pressure loss taken from a finned tube heat exchanger with/without vortex generators (VGs) installed as a heat-transfer enhancement device. The evaluation is based on the modified single blow method conducted in a specially designed low Reynolds number duct. Three different test core geometries, i.e., fin only, fin-tube without VGs and that with VGs, are studied here. The data of heat transfer and pressure loss taken from the fin only geometry agree well with the empirical correlations, thus validating the present method as used for low Reynolds number regime. The data taken from the finned tube geometries with and without VGs are presented and compared to examine the effect of VGs in the low Reynolds number regime.

A basic pulse tube refrigerator has been constructed with extensive instrumentation to study the characteristics of the heat exchanger experimentally under the oscillating pressure and the oscillating flow. This paper describes the sequential experiments with the basic pulse tube refrigerator. The experiments were performed for various cycle frequencies under the square pressure wave forms. First, the heat flux was measured through the cycle at the both cold and warm end heat exchangers without the regenerator. In order to enhance the thermal communication capability of the heat exchanger with the gas at low operating frequencies, a unique design of the triangular shape radial fin concept was applied to the heat exchangers. For the fin heat exchanger, the measured heat flux and the calculated heat flux from the two well-known oscillating heat transfer correlations were compared and discussed. Second, the regenerator was added to the pulse tube to make a basic pulse tube refrigerator configuration. The experiment showed the great impact of the regenerator on the temperature and the heat flux profiles. At the warm-end, the cyclic averaged heat flux had its maximum value at the specific operating frequency. The paper presents the explanation of the surface heat pumping effect as well as the experimental data.

These experiments is to determine design equations for heat transfer and for pressure drop in a new designed heat exchanger with the waved circular fin tube bundles under various experimental conditions. The results with waved circular fin tube bundles are compared with those with the flat circular fin tube bundles. Heat transfer coefficients in the waved circular fin tubes were enhanced to about 50％ in comparison with those in the flat circular fin tubes, This is expected to reduce the capacity of a heat exchanger up to 30％.

Heat transfer and pressure drop on the air side of a plate-louvered fin heat exchanger with new shape of louver fin have been investigated experimentally. Water is employed inside the flat tube to transfer heat with air for convenience. This problem is of particular interest in the design of a plate-louvered heat exchanger. The effect of air flow rate, water flow rate and water temperature on pressure drop as well as heat transfer in air side are studied in detail. The present results showed a good agreement qualitatively with the previous results in general. Based on the experimental data, f-factor and j -factor correlations of the present louvered-fin are suggested. It is also found that heat transfer could be enhanced with new shape of louver fin, compared with the conventional louvered-fin, while the f-factor remains unchanged.

본 연구에서는 냉방운전 시에 팬코일 유닛에 사용되는 핀-관 열교환기의 공기측 열전달 능력과 압력강하를 실험을 통하여 조사하였다. 실험을 위하여 칼로리미터와 항온수조를 이용하였다. 사용된 핀은 슬릿핀이며 5종 열교환기에 대해 배관회로와 실험조건을 변화하면서 실험하였다. 공기-물 정격유량에서의 냉방능력은 열교환기 공급 물온도가 낮은 조건이 우수하였으며, 배관회로에 따른 냉방능력은 배관 내 물흐름이 U형보다 ㄹ형인 경우에 더 크게 나타났다. 물유량이 증가할수록 냉방능력은 일정비율로 증가하였으며, 열교환기 공급 물 온도가 낮을 때 우수하였다. 공급 물 온도가 낮은 조건에서 많은 응축수가 생성되어 공기측 압력강하는 크게 나타났다.

This work discusses the pressure droop, heat and mass transfer of the finned-tube heat exchangers having 7 mm tubes and offset strips in dehumidifying applications. It focuses on the fin material saving and the reduction of pressure drop. The experiment was conducted using three times scaled-up models to simulate the performance of the prototype. Eight kinds of fins having different strips and S shape edges were tested. the area density of the strip was a major factor and its shape and the location were secondary factors on the pressure drop, the heat and mass transfer. The reduced-area fin can almost equal the non-reduced fin in the aspect of heat and mass transfer. The strip fins proposed in the present work can considerably reduce both the pressure drop and the fin material for similar thermal load.

Nowadays, adsorption chillers have been receiving considerable attention, as they are energy saving and environmentally benign systems. A fin tube type heat exchanger in which adsorption/desorption takes place is required with more compact size. The adsorption chiller is expected to have high energy efficiency in utilizing the waste heat exhausted from a process. The objectives of this paper are to scrutinize the effect of design parameters on the adsorption performance, especially the fin pitch of the fin tube, and to develop an optimal design fin tube heat exchanger in a silica gel/water adsorption chiller. From the numerical results, the fin pitch of 2.5 mm shows the highest adsorption rate, compared to other fin pitches, such as 5 mm, 7.5 mm and 10mm. Also, the adsorption rate is affected by the cooling water and hot water temperature.

This work presents an analytical model, so called modified LMTD method, to predict the thermal performance of finned-tube heat exchanger under frosting conditions. In this model, the total heat transfer coefficient and effective thermal conductivity of the frost layer were defined as a function of frost surface temperature. The surface temperature of the frost layer formed on the heat exchanger was calculated through the analysis of the heat and mass transfer process in the air and frost layer. To examine the validity of this analytical model, the computed results from the present model, such as heat transfer rate, frost mass and thickness of frost, were compared with the ones of the expermental work and LMED method.
