This paper is a continuation of the authors' previous work on spiral coil heat exchangers. In the present study, the heat transfer characteristics and the performance of a spirally coiled finned tube heat exchanger under wet-surface conditions are theoretically and experimentally investigated. The test section is a spiral-coil heat exchanger which consists of a steel shell and a spirally coiled tube unit. The spiral-coil unit consists of six layers of concentric spirally coiled finned tubes. Each tube is fabricated by bending a 9.6 mm diameter straight copper tube into a spiral-coil of four turns. The innermost and outermost diameters of each spiral-coil are 145.0 and 350.4 mm, respectively. Aluminium crimped spiral fins with thickness of 0.6 mm and outer diameter of 28.4 mm are placed around the tube. The edge of fin at the inner diameter is corrugated. Air and water are used as working fluids in shell side and tube side, respectively. The experiments are done under dehumidifying conditions. A mathematical model based on the conservation of mass and energy is developed to simulate the flow and heat transfer characteristics of working fluids flowing through the heat exchanger. The results obtained from the present model show reasonable agreement with the experimental data.

알루미나 입자(${\rho}_p=2298kg/m^2$)를 유동입자로 사용한 수직이중관식 유동층형 열교환기에서 입자직경($d_p$=0.41, 0.54, 0.65, 0.77mm) 및 초기충진높이($H_o$=50, 100, 150, 200, 250mm)가 전열성능에 미치는 영향을 소요동력의 관점에서 고찰하였다. 내관으로 핀이 달린 관을 사용하는 경우와 평활관을 사용하는 경우의 전열성능을 단상강제대류 열교환기와 비교 검토하였다. 소요동력에 따른 전열성능을 비교한 결과, 입자직경이 작을 수록, 초기충진높이가 높을 수록 전열효과가 증가하며, 실험범위에서 핀이 달린 관을 사용하는 경우가 평활관을 사용하는 경우보다 초기충진 높이에 따라 $2.96{\sim}3.45$배의 전열촉진효과가 있음을 알았다. 또 단상강제대류형 열교환기에 비해 유동층형 열교환기가 열전달효과가 우수한 영역이 존재하며, 평활관을 사용하는 경우에는 최대 91.3%, 핀이 달린 관을 사용하는 경우에는 최대 127.1% 의 전열촉진효과가 있었다.

The objectives of this paper are to obtain an empirical equations regarding the correlations between heat transfer and pressure drop of oval fin-tube heat exchanger having large diameter using wilson plot method. It was difficult to find any recommendable heat transfer and friction factor correlation available for our large diameter experimental cases. Overall heat transfer coefficients are composed of the heat transfer coefficients both inside and outside tubes. The resulting empirical correlations for the Nui and f-factor are given as $Nu_i=0.0146Re^{0.809}Pr^{0.3}$ and $f=4.366Re^{-0.64}$, respectively. The empirical correlations of the Nui and f-factors were developed for the large diameter oval finned-tube heat exchanger as a function of the Reynolds number. As the EG(Ethylene glycol) and air flow rate increases, the heat transfer rate and pressure drop is increased largely.

We develop a heat exchanger modules for a multi-burner boiler. The heat exchanger module is kind of a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG). This heat recovery system has 4 heat exchanger modules. The 1st module consists of 27 bare tubes due to high temperature exhaust gas and the others consist of 27 finned tubes. The maximum steam pressure of each module is 1 MPa and tested steam pressure is 0.7 MPa. In order to test these heat exchanger modules, we make a 0.5t/h flue tube boiler (LNG, $40\;Nm^3/h$). We tested the heat exchanger module with changing the position of each heat exchanger module. We measured the inlet and outlet temperature of each heat exchanger module and calculated the heat exchange rate. The results show that if module C is placed at second stage (the 1st stage is always module O, bare tube module), there is no need to attach an additional heat exchanger module. In this case the exit temperature of module C is low enough to enter an economizer which is more effective in heat recovery than a heat exchanger module.

In this study, the effects of design factors of finned-tube heat exchanger, such as fin spacing and fin array on the frost growth and heat exchanger performance are investigated under a frosting condition. The results show that the amount of frost, frost density and blockage ratio of air flow passage increase with decreasing fin spacing. Heat transfer rate increases momentarily at the initial stage of frosting and then decreases. After that heat transfer rate continues to increase again to reach a maximum value and then decreases dramatically. It is shown that the time required for heat transfer rate to reach a maximum value becomes shorter with decreasing fin spacing, and after a maximum value, heat transfer rate decreases very fast. The maximum allowable blockage ratio is introduced to determine the operation limit of a finned-tube heat exchanger operating under frosting condition and is obtained as a function of fin spacing. It is also shown that heat transfer rate of heat exchanger with staggered fin array increases about 17% and the amount of pressure drop of air increases about 1~2 mmH$_{2}$O, compared with those of in-line type heat exchanger under frosting condition.

Finned-tube heat exchangers are often made with aluminum fins and copper tubes. Usually the contact between fin collar and tube surface for finned tube heat exchanger is secured by mechanical expansion of the tubes. The objective of the present study is to apprehend how much effect clearance has on the performance of heat exchanger. This effect is studied using an experimental approach. The thermal fluid measurements are made using a psychometric calorimeter. Frontal air velocity varies in the range from 1.0m/s to 3.0 m/s. The heat transfer rate of sample which has bigger clearance is only 27% compare with the other's in dry condition. In wet condition, its heat transfer rate is 78% compare with the other's.

Intercooling and aftercooling are required in order to operate air compressor, these are conducted through air-cooled or water-cooled heat exchangers. This study aims to find more suitable type of heat exchanger as a water-cooled intercooler of air compressor. Comparative performance evaluation among fin-tube heat exchanger and shell-and-tube (S&T) heat exchanger having various tubes such as circular tube, spiral tube, and internally finned tube was conducted. Thermal-hydraulic performance of each heat exchanger type is evaluated in terms of temperature drop and pressure drop. The comparisons show that shell-and-tube heat exchangers may have similar and larger heat transfer capacity to the fin-tube heat exchanger if tube diameter is reduced and multiple pass is adopted. For these cases, however, compressed air pressure drop in shell-and-tube heat exchanger become much larger than that in fin-tube heat exchanger.

Experiments have been conducted to measure the overall heat transfer coefficient for gas-solid fluidized double pipe heat exchanger with finned tube. The average particle diameters of alumina are used in 0.4, 0.5, 0.6 and 0.9mm. And the effects of average particle diameter, static bed height and flow velocity on overall heat transfer coefficient have been investigated. Also the heat transfer effect of fluidized bed was compared with that of single phase forced convection and that of heat exchanger with smooth tube.

The purpose of the present study is to investigate the convective heat transfer characteristics and the validity of fin efficiency of the circular finned-tube heat exchanger by using commercial CFD code. The heat transfer coefficient obtained by using the laminar model was 22% overestimated to the experimental data. The fin surface temperature compared with the experimental data measured by the liquid crystal method. The fin efficiency by the present numerical experiment, defined as normalized and averaged fin surface temperature, was greater than the theoretical fin efficiency and the difference is increased at high value of the factor $mr{\phi}$.
