Machinerie et outils. Réfrigération Résumé : The thermal-hydraulic performance in periodic frosting conditions is experimentally studied for the parallel-flow parallel-fin heat exchanger, henceforth referred to as a PF2 heat exchanger, a new style of heat exchanger that uses louvered bent fins on flat tubes to enhance water drainage when the flat tubes are horizontal. Typically, it takes a few frosting/defrosting cycles to come to repeatable conditions. The criterion for the initiation of defrost and a sufficiently long defrost period are determined for the test PF2 heat exchanger and test condition. The effects of blower operation on the pressure drop, frost accumulation, water retention, and capacity in time are compared under the conditions of 15 sequential frosting cycles. Pressure drop across the heat exchanger and overall heat transfer coefficient are quantified under frost conditions as functions of the air humidity and air face velocity. The performances of two types of flat-tube heat exchangers, PF2 heat exchanger and conventional parallel-flow serpentine-fin (PFSF) heat exchanger, are compared and the results obtained are presented.

Effect of some geometric parameters on performance of PF2 heat exchangers in periodic frosting / Ping Zhang in International journal of refrigeration, Vol. 33 N° 2 (Mars 2010) 

Public ISBD [article]  in International journal of refrigeration > Vol. 33 N° 2 (Mars 2010) . - pp. 334-346 Titre : Effect of some geometric parameters on performance of PF2 heat exchangers in periodic frosting Titre original : Impact de certains paramètres sur la performance d'échangeurs à écoulements et aux ailettes parallèles lors d'épisodes périodiques de givrage Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Ping Zhang, Auteur ; P.

Réfrigération Résumé : The thermal performance under conditions of initial frost growth and subsequent refrosting after a defrost is experimentally studied for the parallel flow parallel fin (PF2) heat exchanger, a new style of heat exchanger that uses louvered bent fins on flat tubes to enhance water drainage when the flat tubes are horizontal (typically outdoor heat exchanger in heat pump operation). This paper focuses on quantification of the effects of geometry (i.e. fin pitch 12–22 fpi and louver pitch 1.4–2.8 mm) on defrost and refrost times. Eight heat exchangers differing in louver pitch and fin spacing are studied. A series of tests are conducted in search for the best geometry. The effects of geometry on heat transfer (thermal performance) and pressure drop for air face velocities of 0.9, 2, and 3 m/s are determined and used for comparison. Characteristics of initial heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop during the first frosting cycle are reported in terms of Colburn j0 factor and Fanning friction f0 factor, as a function of ReLp and geometry. The newly developed air-side correlations for PF2 heat exchangers (Colburn j0 factor and Fanning friction f0 factor) predict the test data within rms error of ±10%, and with mean deviation of 2.95% and 4.98%, respectively. The correlations are base on a very low Reynolds numbers in the range of 100–620, and 8 PF2 heat exchangers using 48 experimental data.

Flow modes and mode transitions for falling films on flat tubes / Xiaofei Wang in Journal of heat transfer, Vol. 134 N° 2 (Fevrier 2012) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Journal of heat transfer > Vol. 134 N° 2 (Fevrier 2012) . - 09 p. Titre : Flow modes and mode transitions for falling films on flat tubes Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Xiaofei Wang, Auteur ; P. S. Hrnjak, Auteur ; S. Elbel, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : 09 p. Note générale : Heat transfer Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Drops  External  flows  Film  flow  Flow  instability  Flow  visualisation  Jets  Laminar  to  turbulent  transitions  Liquid  films  Pipe  flow  Two-phase  flow Index. décimale : 536 Chaleur. Thermodynamique Résumé : Flow mode transitions for a liquid film falling over flat tubes are studied for a wide range of conditions. Hydraulic oil, ethylene glycol, ethylene-glycol-water mixtures (at three different volume ratios), and water are used as working fluids in experiments conducted under adiabatic conditions, without an imposed vapor flow. The flow modes are observed over a range of flow rate and tube spacing. The flow modes are more complex but similar to those manifested on round tubes, and include the sheet, sheet-jet, jet, jet-droplet, and droplet modes. However, the transitions at Ga1/4 <= 16 (mainly for hydraulic oil, ethylene glycol) are very different from those on round tubes: there is no sheet-jet mode during transition between the sheet and jet flow modes. Moreover, at all Ga, the Re range over which the jet mode occurs is narrower than that for round tubes, and the hysteresis in mode transitions is not as pronounced as for round tubes. The transitional Re increases slowly with tube spacing, also in contrast to observations of round-tube falling films. The flat-tube falling-film flow regimes are described, and new correlations are provided to relate the transitional Re number to Ga and geometry. By analyzing repeated experiments, it is shown that the standard deviation of the measurements from the correlations is less than 5.2%.
