This paper presented the heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics for micro plate heat exchanger with straight channel. The metal sheets for straight channel are manufactured by chemical etching and fabricated micro plate heat exchangers by using the vacuum brazing of bonding technology. The performance experiments are performed within the Reynolds numbers range of 15$\sim$250 under the same flow rate conditions for hot and cold sides. The inlet temperature of hot and cold water are conducted in the range of $30^{\circ}C{\sim}50^{\circ}C$ and $15^{\circ}C{\sim}25^{\circ}C$, respectively. Heat transfer rate and pressure drop are evaluated by the Reynolds numbers and mass flow rates as the inlet temperature variations of the hot and cold sides. Correlations of Nusselt number and friction factor are suggested for micro plate heat exchanger with straight channel using the results of performance experiment.

The effect of antifreeze solution liquid film on the frost prevention is experimentally investigated. It is desirable that the antifreeze solution spreads widely on the heat exchanger surface forming thin liquid film to prevent frost nucleation while having small thermal resistance across the film. A porous layer coating technique is adopted to improve the wettability of the antifreeze solution on a parallel plate heat exchanger. The antifreeze solution spreads widely on the heat exchanger surface with $100{\mu}m$ thickness by the capillary force resulted from the porous structure. It is observed that the antifreeze solution liquid film prevents a parallel plate heat exchanger from frosting. The reductions of heat and mass transfer rate caused by the thin liquid film are only $1{\sim}2%$ compared with those for non-liquid film surface.

In this study, the microchannel plated heat exchanger were numerically studied for the enhancement of heat transfer in the channel configuration. Unit cold and hot fluid region with the microchannel were modeled and periodic boundary condition at the side wall was applied to continuously repeating geometry. The material of micro-structured plate is STS304 and working fluid is water. Triangular obstacles were placed in micro channel to enhance heat transfer. The performance of microchannel plated heat exchangers were numerically investigated with various obstacle configuration and Reynolds number under the parallel and counter flows. Heat transfer rate has increased about 18% compared with straight channel, but pressure drop also increased about 3.5 times. The main factor of increasing of pressure drop and heat transfer rate is considered that the momentum was lost to collide against obstacles, generation of secondary flow and boundary layer separation, wake and vortex forming phenomena.

The effect of anti freezing solution liquid film on the frost prevention is experimentally investigated. It is desirable that the antifreezing solution spreads widely on the heat exchanger surface forming thin liquid film to prevent frost nucleation and reduce the thermal resistance across the film. A porous layer coating technique is adopted to improve the wettedness of the anti freezing solution on a parallel plate heat exchanger. The antifreezing solution spreads widely on the heat exchanger surface with 100 $\mu$m thickness by the capillary force resulting from the porous structure. It is observed that the antifreezing solution liquid film prevents a parallel plate heat exchanger from frosting. The reductions of heat and mass transfer rate caused by thin liquid film are only $1\~2\%$ compared with those for non-liquid film surface.

마이크로채널 열교환기에서 R-134a의 증발열전달 특성에 관하여 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 마이크로채널은 금속박판인 SUS304에 포토에칭 공정으로 식각되었으며, 13개의 금속박판은 차례로 적층되어 확산접합공정을 통하여 접합되었다. 본 연구에서는 R-134a의 증발온도, 질량유속 그리고 물의 입구온도의 변화에 따른 열전달 특성을 대향류 조건에서 실험하였다. 실험결과 R-134a와 물의 입구온도차가 클수록 증발열전달량은 증가하였으며, 증발열전달계수는 0.67 kW/$m^2{\cdot}^{\circ}C$에서 6.23 kW/$m^2{\cdot}^{\circ}C$이었다. 아울러 마이크로채널 열교환기에서 R-134a와 물의 열교환에 따른 증발열전달 특성에 영향을 미치는 Reynold수와 무차원 온도비 $\Theta$를 도출하여 Nusselt수에 관한 실험적 상관식을 제안하였다.

본 연구에서는 micro-gap 판형 열교환기 내부의 열유동 특성에 대한 수치해석을 수행하였다. 특히 유량 조건에 따라 열교환기의 주 채널로부터 각 micro-gap 으로의 유동분배에 대한 유동관성의 영향에 대하여 조사하였다. 열교환기 주 채널의 유동을 레이놀즈 수 100 부터 10000 까지 변화시키며 그에 따른 각 micro-gap 으로의 유동분배와 온도분포의 불균일 정도를 평가하였다. 수치해석 결과 유동분배는 유동관성에 의해 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났으며, 관성 효과를 감소시킬 수 있는 헤더 설계를 통해 유동분배 불균일 정도를 줄일 수 있었다. 또한 micro-gap 을 통과한 유체의 온도분포의 불균일 정도는 주유량이 증가함에 따라 증가 후 감소 추세를 나타냈다.

In the present study, a recuperator is suggested to improve the thermal efficiency of a micro gas turbine. Primary design parameters of the recuperator are determined from the ideal cycle analysis. The counter flow plate-fin heat exchanger with offset strip fins is chosen as the type of the recuperator. In order to satisfy the design constraints which are the minimum effectiveness and the maximum pressure drop, the optimization for the internal structure of the recuperator is performed with varying the fin spacing and the fin height of offset strip fins. Also the effects of the thermal conductivity of fins and separation plates and the longitudinal heat conduction on the thermal performance of the recuperator are investigated.

판형열교환기의 증발과정에서 오일에 위한 영향을 알아보기 위해 마이크로 기어 펌프를 이용한 냉매-R134a 순환 성능실험 장치를 구성하여, 증발열전달 실험을 수행하였다. POE 오일을 펌프를 이용하여 냉매 질량 유량에 비례하도록 0~5%를 첨가하여, 오일순환량에 따른 열전달계수 변화를 측정하였다. 오일순환율이 증가할수록 R134a 증발 열전달계수는 감소하며, 압력손실은 증가한다. 질량유량 80 g/s, 증발 온도 $30^{\circ}C$ 일 때, 오일 순환율 2%조건에서 무오일 대비 약 10%의 열전달계수가 감소하였고, 압력손실은 약 10% 증가하였다.

Microscale heat transfer and microfluidics have become increasingly important to overcome some very complex engineering challenges. The use of very small passages to gain heat transfer enhancement is a well documented method for achieving high heat flux dissipation. In this study, the performance evaluation of micro-channel plated heat exchangers with straight, V-shaped and Y-shaped channels has been experimentally carried out under the counterflow condition. It is found that the mixing effect in V-shaped and Y-shaped channels enhances the heat transfer but pressure drop does not increase seriously in the range of low Reynolds number.

Microscale heat transfer and microfluidics have become increasingly important to overcome some very complex engineering challenges. The use of very small passages to gain heat transfer enhancement is a well documented method for achieving high heat flux dissipation. As the passage size is decreased, the heat transfer performance increases but the pressure drop increases sharply when the passage size is reduced. In this study, the performance evaluation of micro plated heat exchangers under the counter flows with straight, V-shaped and Y-shaped channel are carried out.
