본 연구는 핀-관 열교환기의 건표면과 습표면 조건에서의 공기측 열전달 및 마찰특성을 실험을 통해 이해하고자 수행하였다. 핀-관 열교환기의 성능평가 및 해석기술을 확보하기 위하여 공기엔탈피식 칼로리 미터를 이용하였다. 핀형상은 슬릿과 평판이며, 관경은 7.0mm로 2열과 3열 핀-관 열교환기 4종에 대해 실험하여, 건표면과 습표면의 공기측 열전달 및 마찰특성을 조사하였다. 습표면에서 습도변화(RH 50%, 70%)에 따른 습도영향도 조사하였다. 건표면 조건에서 Re 수가 증가할수록 j 계수는 감소하며, 2열이 3열보다 높았다. 마찰계수는 슬릿 핀이 평판 핀보다 높았다. 습표면 조건에서 슬릿 핀이 평판 핀보다 그리고 2열이 3열보다 우수한 열전달효과를 나타내었다. j 계수와 마찰계수는 습도변화, 열수, 핀 형상에 따라 달라짐을 확인하였다.

본 판형 핀-관형 응축기는 기존의 냉장고에 적용돼오던 원형 핀 콘덴서보다 약 30 % 정도 가벼운 무게를 갖는다. 가벼운 무게는 곧 재료비 줄임을 의미하기 때문에 동일한 성능만 구현된다면, 관련 산업발전에 큰 영향을 줄 수 있다. 이러한 판형-핀 열교환기가 적용된 가정용 냉장고 응축기의 실용화 가능성을 조사하기 위해 실험적인 연구가 수행된다. 실험평가에는 원래 적용돼오던 원형 핀-관 열교환기를 포함하여 총 네 가지 유형의 열교환기가 사용되며, 실제 가정용 냉장고와 비슷한 운전 상태를 제공하는 정교한 냉매공급 장치가 이용되고, 각 실험 시료에 대해 열전달율과 공기측 압력손실 등이 정밀하게 측정된다. 실험결과, 판형 핀-관 열교환기의 열전달 성능은 기존의 원형 핀-관 열교환기보다 13% 이상 작은 것으로 나타났으나, 공기측 유로압력손실이 작고 단위질량당 열전달률이 우수한 것으로 나타났으며, 공기유속 증가와 유로 변경과 같은 최적화에 의한 동일 성능 구현의 가능성을 보여주는 것으로 나타났다.

Typically, condensate forms as droplets on the fin surfaces and may bridge the space between the fin surfaces. This is due to the dry characteristics inherent to the fin surface. The droplets increase the air-side pressure drop. In the case of high air velocities, these droplets may be blown off the fins and entrained in the air stream. To minimize the formation of condensate droplet, the wet ability of the fins must be improved. The carry-over velocity is affected by fin surface characteristics. To avoid carry-over in the air conditioner having the highest air velocity of 1.5 m/sec, the dynamic contact angle (DCA) should be at least lowly under $60^{\circ}$.

Experiment was performed to study the heat transfer characteristics in 27 kinds of 15 : 1 scale models of multi-louverred fin heat exchangers with a wide range of variables(R $e_{Lp}$ =100~1, 800, $L_p$/F$p$=0.3~0.9, $\theta$=20$^{\circ}$~40$^{\circ}$). Thermofoil heaters were used to heat the louver fins and the local average Nusselt number for each louver in the louver array was obtained at constant wall temperature conditions. Correlations are developed to predict the heat transfer characteristics and drag coefficients. Generally, the heat transfer characteristics in the multi-louvered fins is shown to be similar to those of the laminar heat transfer on a flat plate. As the Reynolds number, the louver pitch to fin pitch ratio$L_p$/F$p$and the louver angle($\theta$) increase respectively, the average Nusselt number increases, but the variation of average Nusselt number as a function of the louver angle is smaller than that as a function of the louver pitch to fin pitch ratio. In case of$L_p$/F$p$ <0.5, the average Nusselt number of the 3rd louver is especially lower than the others, it is expected that it is due to the flow structure such as a recirculation flow and a flow separation.

Recently, a study on condensers for refrigerators has focused on new model which will cost less and will be more efficient. Some widely used condensers for domestic refrigerators are wire-and-tube type condenser, hot-wall type condenser, and spiral type condenser. Some companies which use the spiral type condenser at the moment try to develop a new type condenser which will cost less and will be as efficient as the spiral type. The new type condenser consists of a steel tube, steel plates and louver fins attached to the tube. The tube and the plate are bent into a single-passage serpentine shape.

In this study, single-phase heat transfer experiments were conducted with oil cooler with offset strip fin using water. An experimental water loop has been developed to measure the single-phase heat transfer coefficient in a vertical oil cooler. Downflow of hot water in one channel receives heal from the cold water upflow of water in the other channel. Similar to the case of a plate heat exchanger, even at a very low Reynolds number, the flow in the on cooler with offset strip fin remains turbulent. The present data show that the heat transfer coefficient increases with the Reynolds number. Based. On the present data, empirical correlation of the heat transfer coefficient was proposed. Also, performance prediction analysis for oil cooler were executed and compared with experiments. ${\varepsilon}-NTU$ method was used in this prediction program. Independent variables are flow rates and inlet temperature. Compared with experimental data, the accuracy of the program is within the error bounds of ${\pm}5$% in the heat transfer rate.

The off-set strip fins (OSF) have been widely used to construct plate-fin heat exchangers. Conventional OSF is constructed in successive rows of fins. New OSF structure is suggested to have a gap between adjacent rows of fins. The gap is intended to reduce fouling by allowing small objects to flow through fins. The objective of this work is to investigate the performance of off-set strip fins with gap between successive rows. Results showed that the performance of OSF with gap can't be predicted by previous correlation.

A numerical investigation of the performance of the plate heat exchanger with rectangular winglet is conducted to examine the combined effect of vortex generator and louver fins. Velocity and temperature fields and spanwise averaged Nu and friction factor are presented. Enhancement of heat transfer and flow loss penalty is evident. A Parametric study of three factors (Re, angle of attack and louver angle) with levels of 5 (Re= 300, 500, 700, 900, 1100), 4($\alpha=15^{\circ}, 30^{\circ}, 45^{\circ}, 90^{\circ},$), and 4($\beta=0^{\circ}, 15^{\circ}, 30^{\circ}, 45^{\circ}$), respectively, indicates the performance defined by the ratio of heat transfer enhancement to flow loss penalty shows monotonic behavior for each parameter alone but the interactions between parameters is found to be considerable effect on the performance of heat exchanger and should be considered in design. The effect of stamping is also examined.

There are a variety of heat exchangers used in automobiles, such as shell and tube heat exchangers, double tube heat exchangers, and plate heat exchangers. Most of them are water-cooled to prevent engine overheating. There have been reports of corrosion damage to these heat exchangers due to continuous wetting caused by external temperature differences, road pollutants, and snow removal. In addition, galvanic corrosion, which occurs when two dissimilar materials come into contact, has been identified as a major cause. In this study, corrosion characteristics and galvanic corrosion behavior of Al alloy (AA3003, AA4045 and AA7072) used in automobile heat exchangers were analyzed. Effective clad materials for heat exchanger tubes and fins were also evaluated. It was found that AA7072 should be applied as the cladding material for fin AA3003 and that AA4045 was suitable as a cladding material for tube AA3003 because this clad materials application was the most effective clad design to delay the occurrence of pinhole in the tube. Main factors influencing galvanic corrosion dissolution were found to be galvanic corrosion potential difference and galvanic corrosion current density.

A plate-fin heat exchanger is a type of heat exchanger widely used in air conditioners, and tubes and fins are tightly assembled by the mechanical expansion process of tubes. The tube expansion process deforms the grooves inside the tube, and the groove shapes also affect the adhesion between tubes and fins. In this study, the adhesion and heat transfer performance affected by the tube expansion of the non-uniform groove shape tube with different heights are investigated by both analysis and experiments. From the analysis method, it was shown that the contact pressure of non-uniform groove tube is higher than that of the uniform groove tube, and the most appropriate high groove number of the non-uniform groove tube is designed for the maximum contact pressure. From the experimental results, the decreasing rate of the condensation heat transfer coefficient is smaller in the non-uniform groove tube with different heights, compared to the conventional uniform groove tube. Also, the air-side heat transfer coefficient of the non-uniform groove tube with different heights is higher than that of the uniform groove tubes.
