Heat transfer performance of twisted-tube dry-expansion evaporator
The objective of this paper is to study the heat transfer performance of twisted-tube dry-expansion evaporator (TDE) and conventional baffle dry-expansion evaporator (BDE). The effect of evaporating temperature (Te)
condensing temperature (Tc)
Reynolds number (Reo) outside tube and heat flux (qi) on heat transfer performance was investigated. The results showed that with the increase of Te
Reo and qi
the heat transfer performances of TDE and BDE were increased
while with the increase of Tc
both of the heat transfer performances were decreased. The air-cooled heat pump (ACHP) applied with TDE and BDE was tested
respectively. The results showed that at the same cooling state the overall heat transfer coefficient (K) of TDE was 36.3% higher than that of BDE
and the ACHP's cooling coefficient of performance (COP) was increased by 6.0%. At the same heating state
the K of TDE was 41.7% higher than that of BDE and the ACHP's heating COP was increased by 15.8%. It was proved that TDE applied in ACHP was feasible
