The new shape of louver-fin has been applied to a parallel flow condenser to enhance air-side heat transfer rate lot an automotive air-conditioner R- l34a is employed as a refrigerant inside the flat tube of the condenser, This problem is of particular interest in reducing the geometric size of the automotive air conditioner The effect of air flow rate on pressure drop as well as heat transfer in air side are studied in detail. Comparison of the performance is also made with that of a conventional parallel flow condenser, which is available in the market. The results obtained indicate that the total pressure drop through the pre sent condenser is not changed, while the heat transfer rate is increased by 24% at high veto city of air flow, compared with those of the conventional condenser. The parallel flow condenser with a new shape of louver-fin could be reduced in size by 20% for the equivalent condenser capacity, compared with the conventional parallel flow condenser.

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.

An experimental study was performed to examine the heat transfer performance of individual rows of fin-tube heat exchangers. The heat transfer performance was measured using air-enthalpy type calorimeter. The examined heat exchangers consists of $7{\Phi}$ tube and fin patterns of them are slit and louver types. Equivalent fin spacing are 18 FPI for all samples, and the number of tube rows were 2. In order to confirm that thermal boundary condition on fins of each row are the same, physically separated between two rows as well as connected heat exchangers were used. The frontal air velocity varied from 0.7 to 2.5 m/s. Heat transfer performance for each row are measured. It was observed that the heat transfer coefficient of the 2nd row were smaller than that of the 1st row at low Reynolds number while larger at high Reynolds number.

An experimental study is peformed to examine the heat transfer performance of individual rows of fin-tube heat exchangers. The heat transfer performance is measured using an air-enthalpy type calorimeter. The examined heat exchangers consist of 7mm tube and fin patterns of them are slit and louver types. Equivalent fin spacings are 18 fins per inch(fpi) for all samples, and the number of tube rows are two. In order to confirm that thermal boundary condition on fins of each row are the same, physically separated between two rows as well as connected heat exchangers are used. The frontal air velocity is varied from 0.7 to 2.5㎧. Heat transfer performance for each row is measured. It is observed that the heat transfer coefficient of the second row is smaller than that of the first row at low Reynolds number while larger at high Reynolds number.

The performance of louver-finned flat-tube radiators for computer CPU liquid cooling were experimentally investigated. In this study, 5 samples of louver-finned flat-tube radiators with different width size (19mm, 24mm), tube hole (1, 9) and pass number (1, 2, 5) were tested in a wind tunnel. The experiments were conducted under the different air velocity ranging from 1 to 5 m/s. The water flow rate through a pass was 1.7 LPM. Inlet temperatures of air and water were $20^{\circ}C$ and $30^{\circ}C$ respectively. The results showed that the best performance in the 24mm sample considering pressure drop and heat transfer coefficient.

The theoretical analysis of performance characteristics in a $CO_2$ cycle with the heat exchanger type was carried out. The size and performance of the fin-tube and microchannel heat exchanger were compared with operating conditions. As a result, the performance of the fin-tube gascooler and evaporator were more sensitive to the variation of operating condition compared to that of the microchannel gascooler and evaporator. Beside, the sizes of microchannel gascooler and evaporator could be decreased by 73% and 76%, respectively, compared to those of the fin-tube type gascooler and evaporator with the similar capacity. The COP and reliability of the $CO_2$ system can be increased by using a microchannel heat exchanger.

This study is performed to investigate the heat transfer characteristics of heat exchanger according to the arrangement of fins as well as fin configuration by using the four times enlarged model. Friction factor, Colburn j factor and goodness factors are compared to each other to estimate performance of each case for 4 different kinds of fins, which are plain, single side slit, double side slit and louver fin. Results show that heat transfer would be altered by fin arrangement and that friction loss is more affected by fin configurations than by the fin arrangements. In particular, heat transfer depends more on the shape of front row than that of rear row. The heat transfer rate of combined fin arrangement increases a lot more under the same pressure drop than that of conventional fin arrangement. This indicates that the heat exchanger of higher efficiency would be designed by the proper combination of fins, of different shapes.

본 논문에서는 루버형 핀 형상을 가진 핀-튜브 열교환기와 알루미늄 평행류 열교환기의 에어컨 응축기 조건에서의 열전달 성능과 공기측 압력강하 특성을 비교하였다. 모든 실험은 ASHRAE 표준에 근거해 제작된 공기엔탈피형 칼로리미터를 사용하여 수행하였다. 관외 측 공기 속도는 0.7-1.6 m/s까지 0.3 m/s 간격으로 변화시켰으며 건구온도는 $20^{\circ}C$, 상대습도는 60%로 유지하였다. 관내 측 물의 입구온도는 $70^{\circ}C$, 유량은 10 LPM로 고정하였다. 알루미늄 열교환기의 열전달 성능은 루버 핀-튜브 열교환기보다 단위체적당, 단위질량당, 단위열전달면적당 약 17-163%정도 높게 나타나는 연구결과를 보였으며 반면에 공기측 압력강하는 핀-튜브 열교환기에 비해 약 19-81% 정도 낮게 나타났다.

To investigate the design effects of a heat exchanger on a tube type, a tube circuit and a fin pitch, an experimental study on the heat transfer characteristics of finned- tube evaporators was performed. The refrigerant was R-22. A refrigerant loop was established to measure the heat transfer rate, the air heat transfer coefficient. The experimental results showed that the heat transfer characteristics of the evaporators were affected by the design parameters. And the heat transfer rate of the slit fin was better about 25%, compared to those of the louver fin. In the present experimental range, the heat transfer performance with the straight tube circuit was more remarkable than that of the zigzag tube circuit, as seen from temperature variations of the evaporator exit. $\jmath$-factor on the tube type, the tube circuit and the fin pinch decreased, as increasing Reynolds number.
