Recently, the higher capacity waste heat recovery PDC clean ventilation system has a tendency which is increasing due to the excellent energy reduction in factory, big building, and so on. This system was developed to complement the room environment which is deteriorated. However, the researches and technologies about this system were not well studied. Specially, the characteristic for heat exchanger element used to this system were not well known. Therefore, this study was carried out to evaluate the mechanical properties of the heat exchanger element as the core parts compose of this system. From results, tensile strength and elongation of the plate type heat exchanger element had about 10.11~14.32 kgf/$mm^2$ and 8.0~16.2%, respectively.

Design programs of tube-sheet for heat exchanger based on the related engineering society codes have been widely used. But it is not easy fer beginners to use the design programs. So we need to develop an easy program for design of tube-sheet for heat exchanger. This paper describes a developed design-program of tube-sheet fur heat exchanger. The developed program was coded on boiler theory and pressure vessel codes, provided by TEMA(Tubular Exchanger Manufactures Association) and ASME(American Society of Mechanical Engineers). Visual Basic, which is convenient for beginners to deal with, was used in the programming. Also a finite element analysis of tube-sheet for heat exchanger was carried to verify this developed program by using a commercial software, ANSYS. In the finite element analysis, tube and tube-sheet of heat exchanger were substituted by solid plate having equivalent properties for convenience of calculation. The thickness of tube-sheet obtained by the developed design-program was in good agreement with that of tube-sheet by FEA.

Heat generation rate in a telecommunication cabinet increases due to the continued usage of mobile devices. Insufficient removal of heat intensifies the cabinet temperature, resulting in the malfunction of electronic devices. In this study, we assessed both aluminum and plastic heat exchangers used for cooling of the telecommunication cabinet, and compared the results against theoretical predictions. The aluminum heat exchanger was composed of counter flow parallel channels of 4.5 mm pitch, and the plastic heat exchangers were composed of cross flow triangular channels of 2.0 mm pitch. Samples were made by installing two plastic heat exchangers in both series and parallel. Results showed that the heat transfer rate was highest for the series cross flow heat exchanger, and was least for the aluminum heat exchanger. The temperature efficiency of the series cross flow heat exchanger was 59% greater than that of the aluminum heat exchanger, and was 4.3% greater than that of the parallel cross flow heat exchanger. In contrast, the pressure drop of the parallel cross flow heat exchanger was significantly lower than other samples. The heat exchange efficiency was also the largest for the parallel cross flow heat exchanger. The theoretical analysis predicted the temperature efficiency to be within 3.3%, and the pressure drop within 6.1%.

Finite element analysis was performed to evaluate the integrity of the tubes in the fixed tubesheet of horizontal type heat exchanger under operating condition. For the finite element analysis of the heat exchanger, tubes and tubesheets were equivalently modeled with concentroidal hexagonal columns and solid plates having equivalent properties for the convenience of finite element modeling, respectively. Load combination of tube pressure and thermal expansion most likely to precipitate possible failure of the tubes was selected and applied to the finite element analysis. The compressive stresses of the tubes were calculated based on displacements of each tube, which were obtained from anile element analysis. Finally, the maximum tube stress was compared with the design criterion of ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section VIII.

The objective of this study is to develope ground heat exchanger using PHC file used to building foundation, and it's element technology. So we construct PHC ground heat exchanger in the apartment house's PHC foundation and evaluate it's performance. First, we study PHC file type, heat exchanger pipe, grouting materials, and present apartment house's foundation condition for PHC ground heat exchanger and design it's proto type. Second according to grouting materials, we estimate construction convenience, and it's performance. Construction convenience side, PB 22 A pipe and sand grouting with moisture was good for PHC ground heat exchanger elements. Experiment result is very superior. Thermal conductivity B, C type(sand, gravel) was respectively 32.4 W/m$^{\circ}C$, 36.5 W/m$^{\circ}C$, D(concrete) Type 27.8 W/m$^{\circ}C$, E(bentonite) Type 19.6 W/m$^{\circ}C$. Thermal interference for 4 day experiment period in 3.8 m was very small. So PHC file is good for using ground heat exchanger.

The leak before break(LBB) concept is difficult to apply to a structure with a thin tube that is immersed in a water environment. A heat exchanger in a nuclear power plant is such a structure. The present paper addresses an application of the LBB concept to a heat exchanger in a nuclear power plant. The minimum leaked coolant amount(approximately 37.9 liters) containing the radioactive material which can activate the radiation detector device installed in near the heat exchanger is assumed. A postulated initial flaw size that can not grow to a critical flaw size within the time period to activate the radiation detector is justified. In this case, the radiation detector can activate the warning signal caused by coolant leakage from initially postulated flaws of the heat exchanger. The nuclear plant can safely shutdown when this occurs. Since the postulated initial flaw size can not grow to the critical flaw size, the structural integrity of the heat exchanger is not impeded. Particularly the informational scenario presented in this paper discusses an actual nuclear plant.

In order to better save energy, many buildings have been constructed with high levels of insulation and airtightness in recent years. Additionally, having high quality indoor air has become more relevant, necessitating a ventilating system. This study is aimed at evaluating the performance of a humidity exchanger through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis of elements for the purpose of providing comfortable indoor air and reduced energy consumption. The simulation was conducted with three different shapes (triangle, rectangular, and curve) of heat exchanger elements, in order to find the most effective element. A follow-up simulation then proved the efficiency of the chosen humidity exchanger, which was selected by analyzing the results of the preceding simulation, comparing study data with measurement data from the Korea Testing Laboratory (KTL). The resulting analysis revealed that the rectangular element showed the lowest level of efficiency in both heating and cooling, while the curved element showed the highest level of efficiency in both heating and cooling.

One of the most important factors for determining the thermal performance of an evaporative cooling system is the wettability of the evaporative heat exchanger surface. Evaporation of a widely spread water film on the heat exchanger surface promotes heat transfer between the "dry" air and "wet" air passages. Hydrophilic coating is generally applied on the heat exchanger surfaces to increase the wettability of the heat exchanger surface and the COP of the evaporative cooling system. In this paper, a simple lamellar patterned structure is suggested to maximize the spreading of a water film on the vertically oriented walls. The capillary height of the lamellar structured grooves is analyzed through a theoretical model, and the results are compared with the numerical analysis through a finite element analysis tool, SE-FIT. A good agreement between the theoretical model and the numerical analysis can be observed as long as the channel depth is comparable to or larger than the channel width of the lamellar structure.
