Air to air fixed plate enthalpy heat exchanger, performance variation and energy analysis

The thermal performance of a Z shape enthalpy heat exchanger utilising 70 gsm Kraft paper as the heat and moisture transfer surface has been investigated. Effects of different inlet air humidity ratio conditions on the heat exchanger effectiveness and on the energy recovered by the heat exchanger have been the main focus of this investigation. A typical air conditioning cooling coil which incorporates an enthalpy heat exchanger has been modelled for tropical climate. Under test conditions, results have shown that latent effectiveness and the moisture resistance coefficient have strong dependency on the inlet air humidity ratio. Moreover, the latent effectiveness has been found to be strongly dependent on the moisture resistance coefficient rather than the convective mass transfer coefficient. Finally, annual energy analysis for Singapore weather conditions have also shown that energy recovered under variable inlet air conditions is 15% less than that recovered under constant inlet air conditions for the same heat exchanger.     

A study on energy saving of cooling/reheating system using compact heat exchanger

When circulated air passes through the cooling coil in an air-conditioning system, the air is over-cooled to eliminate the moisture and decrease the temperature. The cooled air is then reheated to recover the temperature. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the performance of a cooling/reheating system with regard to both cooling and reheating energy savings affected by exchanging heat between the cooled air and the reheated air with a compact heat exchanger. The thermal and dehumidification behaviors of the system were evaluated experimentally and then compared with simulation data. The results show that the energy saving rate was as high as 50% under the present experimental conditions and was affected by the face velocity of the heat exchanger, the inlet temperature, the inlet humidity ratio, and the effectiveness of heat exchanger. Furthermore, the experimental data were found to be in fairly good agreement with the simulation data.     

Combined heat and mass transfer analysis during the dehumidification process within a plate type heat exchanger

Liquid desiccant systems have been paid attention because of its advantages in energy saving and an environmental friendliness. The use of liquid desiccant systems offers design and performance advantages over the solid desiccant systems, especially when solar energy is used for regeneration. The objective of this paper is to analyze the simultaneous heat and mass transfer characteristics of lithium chloride aqueous solution for the plate type dehumidification system. The effects of process air and solution inlet conditions on the dehumidification performance are studied in this study. It is found that the heat transfer coefficient of the air side gives much more significant effect on the absorption rate and dehumidification effectiveness than those of the solution and the coolant sides while the mass transfer coefficient of the solution side gives more significant effect than that of the air side. It is also found that the solution concentration is the most important factor for absorption performance improvement during the dehumidification process.     

Effect of particle ingestion on the fouling reduction and heat transfer enhancement of a No-Distributor-Fluidized heat exchanger

To overcome the fouling problem that is common in heat exchangers for waste heat recovery, a new type of fluidized heat exchanger was devised and tested. Fluidized bed heat exchangers are considered to be a good candidate for waste heat recovery flue gases due to their demonstrated ability to avoid fouling or to clean out deposition on heat transfer surfaces, but have a major drawback with significant pressure losses. These pressure drops typically associated with the distributor plate, which is a key component in constructing any conventional fluidized bed system, limit the applicability of fluidized bed heat exchangers for use as an energy saving device. In a new design, however, dilute gassolid particulate is maintained without having a distributor plate. The main feature of this no-distributor-fluidized (NDF) heat exchanger is the self-cleaning action by ingested circulating particles at minimal additional pressure loss. In the present study, a multi riser NDF heat exchanger of 7,000 kcal/hr capacity was built to evaluate its heat transfer performance and fouling reduction characteristics. To experimentally simulate the fouled condition, fuel rich combustion gas with soot was introduced to the heat exchanger, then a cleaning test was performed by introducing glass bead particles (600μm) inside the gas passage of the heat exchanger unit. Through the present experimental study, the performance degradation due to fouling was successfully demonstrated and the cleaning role of particle circulation was identified. It was also demonstrated that small amounts of circulating particles contribute not only to the fouling reduction on the gas side, but also to the heat transfer enhancement. Experimental operation data for 50 hours including accelerated fouling are obtained to simulate the long-term behavior of the system.

The effects of design and operating factors on the frost growth and thermal performance of a flat plate fin-tube heat exchanger under the frosting condition

An experimental study of the effects of various factors (fin pitch, fin arrangement, air temperature, air humidity, and air velocity) on the frost growth and thermal performance of a fin-tube heat exchanger has been conducted under the frosting condition. It is found that the thermal performance of a heat exchanger is closely related to the blockage ratio of the air flow passages due to the frost growth. The maximum allowable blockage ratio is used to determine the criteria for the optimal operating conditions of a fin-tube heat exchanger. It is also shown that heat transfer rate of heat exchanger with staggered fin arrangement increases about 17% and the time required for heat transfer rate to reach a maximum value becomes longer, compared with those of an inline fin-tube heat exchanger under the frosting condition. The energy transfer resistance between the air and coolant decreases with the increase of inlet air temperature and velocity and with decreasing inlet air humidity.

A new method for field test of the heating capacity of air source heat pumps

The operation performance measurement of the air source heat pumps in the field, in which conditions are complicated and the accuracy could not be ensured, is very crucial for its performance evaluation and improvement. In this investigation, a novel method for measuring the heating capacity of the air source heat pump is established. An auxiliary electric heater is installed along the pipeline between the compressor and the condenser, and the refrigerant temperature difference caused by the heater is gathered to calculate the refrigerant mass flow rate based on the energy conservation. The heating capacity is calculated with the measured data of the refrigerant enthalpy at the inlet and outlet of the condenser and the refrigerant mass flow rate of the compressor discharge pipe. The validation results in laboratory tests show that the measured heating capacity accuracy is within 9.2%. It is also found that the impact of the novel test method on the heating capacity of the air source heat pumps is below 1.7%, and the power consumption of the tested units is increasing of within 1.8% compared with it when the electric heater is off. The refrigerant enthalpy difference method with an electric heater presented in this research can be applied to measure the heating capacity of different air source heat pump air heaters accurately in the field, which will be much helpful to improve the performance for cleaning heating in northern China.

A study on method of reducing condensation for total heat exchanger under humid conditions

An experimental study was performed to reduce the condensation under very humid conditions for a total heat exchanger. The hydrochromic ink was used to detect the condensation within the total heat exchanger. Condensation in a total heat exchanger can be reduced by decreasing the flow rate of the supply air. The other method of decreasing the flow rate of the exhaust air can also be used to reduce condensation. However the flow rate of the exhaust air has to be less than half of the supply air flow rate for the tested total heat exchanger.
