In this study, the cooling performance change according to the arrangement of the fin-tube heat exchanger using a single tube and the cooling performance change according to the air flow rate were studied. The arrangement of basic heat exchanger was set to 4 columns and 4 rows, and the performance change was studied while changing the columns and rows. In addition, the performance change was investigated by changing the air flow rate of the basic heat exchanger.

본 연구는 절탄기 튜브의 저온부식 손상을 방지하기 위해 Inconel 625 용사재료를 활용하여 아크 열용사 코팅기술 적용 후 실링 처리를 실시하였다. 용사코팅(TSC) 층의 내식성 분석을 위해 0.5 wt% 황산 수용액에서 다양한 전기화학적 실험을 진행하였다. 양극분극 실험 후에는 주사전자현미경과 EDS 성분분석을 통해 부식 손상 정도를 파악하였다. 자연전위 계측 시 TSC+실링처리(TSC+Sealing)의 안정적인 전위 형성을 통해 실링처리 효과를 확인하였다. 양극분극 실험 결과 TSC와 TSC+Sealing에서 부동태 영역이 확인되었으며, 부식 손상 역시 관찰되지 않아 내식성이 개선되었다. 더불어 타펠분석에 의해 산출된 부식전위와 부식전류밀도 분석 결과 TSC+Sealing의 내식성이 가장 우수하게 나타났다.

This study was to develop the automatic fin tube cutting machine, equipped with semi-automatic supplying board, automatic transfer equipment, fin tube holder, and cutting equipment assembly for the effective and safe fin tube cutting. The development of the automatic fin tube cutting machine resulted in improving 150% of productivity, 300% of cutting length precision, and 230% of a vertical angle precision on the cutting plane. In addition, we were able to secure safety of the workers and to automate production management, and further to reduce environmental pollution by recycling cutting chips.

In this paper, the hybrid tube expander unit for fin and tube type heat exchanger are developed by means of enlarging and inserting the smooth tube with a small diameter to a finned tube having larger diameter. In other word, the tube expander tool that is easy to attach and remove from tube is developed. The hybrid tube expander unit developed in this study can move easily and enlarge the tube without fixing at tube sheet. Also, this unit has a function removing scales inside tube by replacing a tube expander ball.

This work studies for boiling and condensation heat transfer performance of trapezoidally shaped integral-fin tubes having fin densities from 748fpm to 1654fpm. For comparison, tests are made using a plain tube having the same inside and outside diameter as that of the root of fins of finned tubes. Hahne's theoretical model and Webb's theoretical model are used to predict the R-11 boiling heat transfer coefficient and condensing heat transfer coefficient respectively for plain tube and all integral-fin tubes. Experiments are carried out using R-11 as working fluid. This work is limited to film-wise condensation and pool boiling on the outside surface of plain tube and 4 low integral-fin tubes. In case of condensation, the refrigerant condenses at saturation state of 32℃ on the outside tube surface cooled by coolant and in case of boiling. the refrigerant evaporates at saturation state of 1bar on the outside tube surface. The amount of non-con-densable gases in the test loop is reduced to a negligible value by repeated purging. The actual boiling and condensing processes occur on the outside tube surfaces. Hence the nature of this surface geometry affects the heat transfer performances of condenser and evaporator in refrigerating system. The condensation heat transfer coefficient of integral-fin tube is enhanced by both extended tube surface area and surface tension. The ratio of the condensation heat transfer coefficients of finned to plain tubes is greater than that of surface area of finned to plain tubes, while ratio of the boiling heat transfer coefficient of finned to plain tubes shows reverse result. As a result, low integral-fin tube can be used in condenser more effectively than used in evaporator.
