Résumé : |
Energy separation performance of vortex tube can be improved by using a divergent hot tube. Experiments are carried out to investigate the influence of the geometrical parameters on vortex tube refrigeration capacity by using nitrogen as the working fluid. In this work, the parameters are focused on the divergence angle of hot tube, length of divergent hot tube and number of nozzle intakes. Experimental results present that there is an optimum angle for obtaining the highest refrigeration performance, and 4° is the optimal candidate under our experimental conditions. Divergent tube length which exceeds a critical length has slight effect on the refrigeration capacity. The critical length to diameter ratio is L/D = 12 in our experiment. Increasing number of nozzle intakes increases the sensitivity of temperature reduction and can obtain the highest possible temperature reduction. Moreover, similarity relations for the prediction of the cold exit stream are presented and confirmed by the experimental data. |
