The plate heat exchanger has been widely used in water heating systems due to high efficiency, simple structure, and easy maintenance. However, the studies on the effects of fouling on the heat transfer performance under various operation and maintenance conditions are very limited in the open literature. The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of fouling with calcium carbonate ($CaCO_3$) on the heat transfer characteristics of the plate heat exchanger under various operating and geometric conditions. The heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop in the plate heat exchangers were measured under accelerated fouling conditions with $CaCO_3$ by varying geometric and operational parameters. The fouling resistance increased with the decrease in the flow rate, and the increase in the chevron angle and the concentration.

This study presents the air side heat transfer and friction characteristics of fin-tube heat exchangers. Variations of heat transfer performance in each row are investigated in the present work. Experiments were performed for the Louver fin-tube heat exchangers using air-enthalpy type calorimeter, which is based on air-enthalpy method described in ASHRAE standards. The air velocity was varied from 0.7 to 2.5 m/s with 0.3 m/s interval. The results are plotted in terms of Colburn j-factor and friction factor of with respect to Reynolds number in the range of 200 to 1100.

The objectives of this paper are to study the effects of thermal and geometric conditions on the performance of indoor heat exchangers with R-410A for Gas Engine Driven Heat Pump (GHP) application and to find the optimum design conditions of indoor heat exchangers by parametric analysis for the key parameters. The key parameters are number of tube row, number of tube pipe, fin pitch and transverse tube pitch. In the air side, moisture out of the humid air condenses on the fin surface while the refrigerant (R-410A) boils inside the smooth tube. Therefore this study uses Log Mean Enthalpy Difference (LMHD) method to analyze the heat transfer from the humid air to the refrigerant. This study determines the heat exchanger size, air side/refrigerant side pressure drop and overall heat transfer coefficient. Optimum design conditions for the key parameters are also determined by the parametric analysis. The results show that number of rows and pipes, fin pitch have significant effect on the heat exchanger size. It is also found that the tube length of the louver fin is $17{\sim}30%$ shorter than that of the plate fin.

본 연구에서는 복합 전열 촉진 핀 열교환기의 열전달 및 압력손실에 대하여 실험적으로 검토하였다. 비교를 위하여 널리 사용되는 루버 핀 열교환기에 대한 실험도 수행하였다. 핀 피치(1.5mm~1.7mm)와 열수(1열~3열)를 변화시키며 열전달 및 압력손실에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 실험범위에서 핀 피치가 j와 f 인자에 미치는 영향은 크지 않았다. 열수가 증가하면 j 인자는 감소하고 f 인자는 열수와 무관하였다. 루버 핀의 j와 f 인자가 복합 전열 촉진 핀의 값들보다 크게 나타났다. 1열의 경우 평균 j 인자와 f 인자는 23%, 27% 크고, 2열에서는 11%, 8%, 3열에서는 10%, 9% 크게 나타났다. 하지만 동일 압력 손실 대비 전열 성능은 복합 전열 촉진 핀 열교환기가 1열에서 6.4%, 2열에서 11.1%, 3열에서 13.6% 크게 나타났다. 기존 루버 핀 상관식은 j 인자를 과대 예측하고 f 인자를 과소 예측하였다.

새롭게 제안된 형상의 마이크로채널 PCHE는 기존의 상용 열교환기에 비해 고성능, 고효율의 특성을 보이며 열교환을 수행한다. 본 연구에서는 I, Wavy, Beehive, Surf, I-Wavy, I-Beehive, I-Surf 의 형상을 갖는 다양한 마이크로채널을 모델링하였다. 질량유속 변화에 따른 다양한 마이크로채널 내 유체의 유동특성, 열전달, 압력강하를 살펴보았고 그 결과는 마이크로채널의 열전달 능력을 향상시키는데 이용된다. I 채널은 새롭게 적용된 채널 형상과의 성능비교를 위해 해석을 수행하였다. 다양한 레이놀즈수 변화 하에서 고온측과 저온측 유체는 대향류 형태로 열교환이 이루어지도록 하였다. 수치해석 결과 Surf 형상이 다른 형상들보다 열교환 성능이 우수함을 확인하였다.

This paper presents the thermal characteristics for micro heat exchanger with different micro-channel shapes. The shapes of micro-channel has been manufactured sheet metal by chemical etching for the I shape of straight channel and V and W shapes of chevron feature and fabricated micro plated heat exchangers using the vacuum brazing of bonding technology. The experimental study has been performed on heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics with various Reynolds number for water to water at the counter flows. The average heat transfer rate of V and W shapes has been showed about 1.5${\sim}$1.6 times large than those of I shape. For the comparison of Nusselt number, it is known that the convective heat transfer of V and W shapes represent more effect than I shape. The pressure drops of V and W shapes are about 1.2${\sim}$1.7 times lager than those of I shape.

In recent days, the study for the renewable energy is required to supplement traditional energy source. One of the renewable energy of Fuel Cell is classified according to the electrolytes. It is the MCFC (Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell) for this study. One of the equipments of the heat exchangers is important component for efficiency and cost. In MCFC system, several heat exchangers are used according to the application. It is named for the humidifier because it is to preheat the fuel and water so that a reactor will convert some of the incoming fuel to hydrogen. Then, hot side fluid service is used the exhausted gas from the fuel cell and cold side fluid service is the fuel and water. The operation temperature range is about 25~500 Celsius Degree. This heat exchanger has the problems of heat transfer considering to multiphase fluid and phase changing.

Experimental results for heat transfer characteristic and pressure gradients of HCs refrigerants R-290, R-600a, R-1270 and HCFC refrigerant R-22 during evaporating inside horizontal double pipe heat exchangers are presented. The test sections which has one tube diameter of 12.70 m with 0.86 mm wall thickness, another tube diameter of 9.52 mm with 0.76 mm wall thickness are used for this investigation. The local evaporating heat transfer coefficients of hydrocarbon refrigerants were higher than that of R-22. The average evaporating heat transfer coefficient increased with the increase of the mass flux. It showed the higher values in hydrocarbon refrigerants than R-22. Hydrocarbon refrigerants have higher pressure drop than R-22 in 12.7 mm and 9.52 mm. This results form the investigation can be used in the design of heat transfer exchangers using hydrocarbons as the refrigerant for the air- conditioning systems.

The fan is widely used to cool high heat flux generated as of the electronic communication device consoles. It, however, makes a lot of noises that interfere considerably with the operation environment. This study was conducted to obtain the cooling design technology of the consoles through being equipped with the Heat Pipe Heat Exchangers (HPHE) together with low revolution fans in place of existing fans for the cooling technology of the forced convection. Not only the sealed type consoles but the HPHE were also designed so as to cool effectively the heat generated from the inside of the console. The simulation was conducted by computational numerical analysis along with its experiments. The results of the numerical analysis and experiments were compared in order to improve the cooling technology of the consoles mounted with the HPHE. Consequently, instead of loud fan noise generated as of existing forced convection methods, the cooling technology of HPHE can remarkably improve many problems such as the operation environment, indoor dust, malfunction caused by pollution sources and so on.
