Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of heat transfer testing technology, and in particular to a multifunctional organic heat transfer testing system and method. Background Art

[0002] In the chemical, energy, and refrigeration sectors, testing the heat transfer performance of organic compounds is a critical step in equipment development, process optimization, and system design. Its results directly impact the selection, energy efficiency, and operational stability of heat exchange equipment. However, existing heat transfer testing technologies still have numerous limitations, making them inadequate for testing under complex operating conditions. For example, they can only test liquid-to-liquid heat transfer without phase change, or are only suitable for single-sided vapor-to-liquid phase change scenarios. Simulating different operating conditions, such as two-sided phase change (such as the coexistence of vapor-to-liquid condensation and evaporation in a distillation reboiler) or single-sided phase change (such as steam condensation and liquid heating in a solution heater), requires dedicated testing platforms. This not only results in high equipment investment costs and large footprints, but also presents complex testing procedures and difficulty switching between operating conditions, severely hindering the efficiency of organic compound heat transfer performance research. Furthermore, when testing cold-side condensation phase change conditions, traditional methods often use flow meters to directly measure the condensate flow rate and calculate the heat load based on the latent heat of the phase change. However, because the latent heat of phase change in organic matter is typically large, even small flowmeter measurement fluctuations (e.g., ±1% error) can be significantly amplified by the calculation relationship of "heat load = condensate flow rate × latent heat of phase change," leading to significant deviations in heat load test results and, in turn, affecting the accuracy of heat transfer coefficient tests. Therefore, developing a multifunctional, safe, reliable, and precise organic heat transfer testing system to address the limitations of traditional technologies, such as limited functionality, low measurement accuracy, and high explosion risk, is a pressing need in the field of heat transfer testing.

Test heat exchanger 1 uses a shell-and-tube heat exchanger, with the shell side serving as the hot medium channel and the tube side serving as the cold medium channel.

[0079] The testing method of this embodiment is as follows:

[0080] The system is evacuated by the vacuum pump. When the internal pressure of the system is less than 50 Pa, the vacuum pump is turned off, water is poured into the hot medium storage tank, and methanol is poured into the cold medium storage tank.

[0081] Start the circulation pump 4, and after the hot side circulating medium flows steadily, start the steam heater 5; the water in the heat medium storage tank is pressurized by the circulation pump 1 and then enters the steam heater to heat it to 100°C, maintaining the system pressure at 1 bar. The 100°C water vapor generated by the heating passes through the gas-liquid separator 1 and enters the shell and tube heat exchanger to heat the cold side methanol solution. After releasing heat, it condenses and liquefies, and then enters the tail cooler 1 for full condensation. The condensate flows back to the heat medium storage tank, and the system enters the next cycle; the non-condensable gas in the system is extracted from the system through the tail cooler 1 and the vacuum pump.

[0082] Turn on the circulation pump 2 13. The methanol in the cold medium storage tank is pressurized by the circulation pump 2 and enters the thermostat for temperature adjustment. Then it enters the shell and tube heat exchanger for heating and temperature increase. The thermostat is used to adjust the inlet temperature of the shell and tube heat exchanger to 80℃. After the system has been running stably for 30 minutes, the hot side inlet temperature of the test heat exchanger is recorded. T hi , hot side outlet temperature T ho , cold side inlet temperature T ci , cold side outlet temperature T co , and the circulation pump secondary circulation flow W c , calculate the logarithmic heat transfer temperature difference △T of the test heat exchanger, △T=(( T hi -T co )-( T ho -T ci )) / ln(( T hi -T co ) / ( T ho -T ci )), according to the density of methanol r c , specific heat Cp c , calculate the heat load of the test heat exchanger Q , Q = W c × r c × Cp c × ( T co -T ci ); According to the logarithmic heat transfer temperature difference of the heat exchanger △ T and heat exchange area S , calculate the heat transfer coefficient of the test heat exchanger A , A = Q / (△ T ×S).

Only a gas-liquid separator 2 9, a full condenser 2 10 and a metering tank 11 are added to the cold medium circulation module. The gas-liquid separator 2 9 is provided with a feed port on the side wall, an air outlet on the top, and a liquid outlet on the bottom.

The test heat exchanger 1 uses a horizontal tube falling film heat exchanger with 60°C water on the hot side and 55°C Freon R134a on the cold side.

[0087] The testing method of this embodiment is as follows:

[0088] The system is evacuated by the vacuum pump. When the internal pressure of the system is less than 50 Pa, the vacuum pump is turned off, water is injected into the hot medium storage tank, and R134a is injected into the cold medium storage tank.

[0089] Start the circulation pump 4, and after the water flow stabilizes, start the steam heater 5; the water in the heat medium storage tank is pressurized by the circulation pump 1 and enters the steam heater to heat up to 60°C, and then enters the tube side of the horizontal tube falling film heat exchanger to heat the cold medium in the shell side. The cooled water returns to the heat medium storage tank.

[0090] Start circulating pump 2 13. The R134a in the cold medium storage tank is pressurized by circulating pump 2 and then enters the thermostat for temperature adjustment. It is then sprayed on the shell side of the horizontal tube falling film heat exchanger through the nozzle. The inlet temperature of the shell side of the horizontal tube falling film heat exchanger is adjusted to 55℃ through the thermostat to ensure the bubble point temperature for feeding. The system pressure is adjusted to 14.9 bar. After the system has been running stably for 30 minutes, the condensate at the outlet of the total condenser 2 is switched to the metering tank. The change in the liquid level in the metering tank corresponding to the measurement for 15 minutes is recorded. q v , through the latent heat of vaporization of Freon R134a at 55℃ h c and density r c , calculate the heat load of the test heat exchanger Q , Q =△q v × r c / t × h c , calculate the heat transfer coefficient of the test heat exchanger based on the logarithmic heat transfer temperature difference △T=5℃ and the heat transfer area S of the test heat exchanger A , A = Q / (△ T ×S).

[0091] This embodiment simulates and tests the operating conditions of a horizontal tube falling film evaporator of an R134a heat pump system.

[0092] Example 4

The cold medium circulation module is substantially the same as the cold medium circulation module in Example 3, except for some structural changes. Specifically, the cold medium circulation module further includes a gas-liquid separator 2 9, a full condenser 2 10 and a metering tank 11. The gas-liquid separator 2 9 is provided with a feed port on the side wall, an air outlet on the top, and a liquid outlet on the bottom.
