Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of heat exchanger design, and in particular to a design method for a plate-fin evaporator based on evaporative heat absorption. Background Art
[0002] An evaporator is a heat-absorbing device. The refrigerant in a liquid boils at a relatively low temperature, transforming into vapor. This vapor absorbs heat from the object or space being cooled, achieving the cooling effect. Depending on the type of medium being cooled, evaporators are primarily categorized as air-cooling evaporators and liquid-cooling evaporators. Air-cooling evaporators typically use a serpentine tube structure, while liquid-cooling evaporators typically use a shell-and-tube structure. Because traditional evaporators typically utilize a tubular heat transfer structure, this structure is not fully suitable for applications with limited installation space and high cooling requirements.
[0003] Plate-fin heat exchangers feature a fin structure that allows for secondary heat transfer, resulting in a compact structure, large heat transfer area per unit volume, and high heat transfer efficiency. Therefore, when designing an evaporator, using a plate-fin heat transfer structure can further improve the evaporator's cooling efficiency. Plate-fin heat exchangers can also be customized to meet customer specifications, making them suitable for a variety of complex scenarios.
[0004] However, the plate-fin evaporator contains a channel for the cooled medium and a channel for the refrigerant. The cooled medium is a medium without phase change, such as air or liquid to be cooled, while the refrigerant absorbs heat through evaporation phase change. During the evaporator design process, it is necessary to consider both the cooled medium without phase change and the refrigerant with evaporation phase change, which makes the calculations during the design process more complicated. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The embodiment of the present application provides a design method for a plate-fin evaporator based on evaporative heat absorption, which is used to solve the problem of complex calculation caused by considering both the cooled medium without phase change and the refrigerant with evaporative phase change during the evaporator design process in the prior art.

[0015] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0016] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a design method for a plate-fin evaporator based on evaporative heat absorption provided in an embodiment of the present application. This embodiment of the present application provides a design method for a plate-fin evaporator based on evaporative heat absorption, including: S100: Obtain design requirements, which include medium parameters and performance requirements.
[0017] Exemplarily, the medium parameters include the type of medium, evaporation temperature, flow rate, density, specific heat capacity at constant pressure, thermal conductivity, dynamic viscosity, latent heat of vaporization, tension, and dryness, etc. Since the evaporator in the embodiment of the present application includes a cooled medium side and a refrigerant side, it is necessary to obtain the medium parameters of the cooled medium and the refrigerant separately.
[0018] The performance requirements are for the entire evaporator, which mainly include inlet and outlet temperatures, inlet and outlet flow rates, inlet and outlet pressure differences and other data.
[0019] S101, presetting structural data of the evaporator according to performance requirements, the structural data including fin structural parameters and partition structural parameters.
[0020] For example, the fin structural parameters mainly include the fin form, fin pitch, fin height, fin spacing, fin layer number and fin thickness, while the partition structural parameters mainly include partition spacing and partition thickness.
[0021] In addition to the above two parameters, the cover thickness and seal width also need to be obtained.
[0022] The hot side of the evaporator, i.e., the medium being cooled, undergoes no phase change, while the medium on the cold side, i.e., the refrigerant, undergoes a phase change due to evaporation. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the medium being cooled by evaporation, and since the refrigerant primarily absorbs heat through evaporation, its flow pattern has minimal impact on heat transfer. Therefore, straight fins are used on this medium side. Since the medium being cooled transfers heat by convection, the fin type used on this side should be appropriately selected based on the cooling requirements. Specifically, serrated fins are recommended for media with high viscosity and low flow rates, while straight fins are recommended for media with low viscosity and high flow rates.
[0023] S102: Calculate the minimum free flow area and equivalent diameter based on the fin structure parameters.
[0024] For example, the hydraulic radius Defined as the minimum free flow area With wet peritoneum Ratio:

[0029] Pore size Defined as the minimum free flow area and windward area Ratio:
[0030] S103: Calculate the mass flow rate according to the minimum free flow area.
[0031] For example, the mass flow rate As shown below:
[0032] in, is the mass flow rate.
[0033] S104: Calculate the Reynolds number based on the mass flow rate and the equivalent diameter.
[0034] For example, the Reynolds number As shown below:
[0035] in, is the dynamic viscosity of the fluid.
[0036] S105: Calculate the heat transfer coefficient of the refrigerant according to the medium parameters.
[0037] For example, the heat transfer coefficient of the refrigerant Expressed as:

[0039] S106 , calculating the heat transfer coefficient of the cooled medium according to the Prandtl number, the mass flow rate, and the medium parameters, and calculating the fin efficiency according to the heat transfer coefficients of the refrigerant and the cooled medium.
[0040] For example, the Prandtl number As shown below:
[0041] in, is the specific heat capacity of the fluid, is the thermal conductivity of the fluid.
[0042] Heat transfer coefficient of the cooled medium Expressed as: or
[0043] in, j is the heat transfer factor, Nu is the Nusselt number.
[0044] Fin efficiency As shown below:
[0045] in, is the fin parameter, is the fin height.
[0046] Straight fins:
[0047] Serrated fins:
[0048] in, for and A general term for is the thermal conductivity of the material.
[0049] S107: Calculate the total heat transfer area based on the primary heat transfer area and the secondary heat transfer area of the evaporator.
[0050] For example, the total heat transfer area Expressed as:
[0051] Among them, the primary heat transfer area It is the heat transfer area between the cold and hot fluids between the partitions. The primary heat transfer area of the cold fluid and the hot fluid are the same in value. Secondary heat transfer area That is the area over which hot and cold fluids transfer heat through the fins.
[0052] S108, calculating the effective heat transfer area according to the primary heat transfer area, the secondary heat transfer area, and the fin efficiency.
[0053] For example, the effective heat transfer area Expressed as:
[0054] S109, calculating the surface efficiency based on the secondary heat transfer area, the total heat transfer area, and the fin efficiency.
[0055] For example, the surface efficiency Expressed as:
[0056] S110, calculating the wall thermal resistance based on the partition structure parameters and the primary heat transfer area.
[0057] For example, the wall thermal resistance Expressed as:
[0058] in, is the thickness of the partition, is the thermal conductivity of the partition.
[0059] S111, calculating a total heat transfer coefficient based on the surface efficiency, the total heat transfer area, the wall thermal resistance, the heat transfer coefficient of the refrigerant, and the heat transfer coefficient of the cooled medium.
[0060] For example, the overall heat transfer coefficient K The calculation formula is:
[0061] S112, calculating the logarithmic heat transfer temperature difference according to performance requirements.
[0062] For example, the logarithmic heat transfer temperature difference Expressed as:
[0063] in, is the inlet temperature of the cooled medium, is the outlet temperature of the cooled medium, is the evaporation temperature of the refrigerant.
[0064] S113 , when the required cooling capacity is met, the effective heat exchange area required by the evaporator is calculated according to the logarithmic heat transfer temperature difference and the total heat transfer coefficient.
[0065] For example, the required cooling capacity It can be expressed as:
[0066] in, The effective heat exchange area required by the evaporator to meet the required cooling capacity.
[0067] S114 , comparing the effective heat transfer area with the effective heat exchange area required by the evaporator. If the effective heat transfer area is smaller than the effective heat exchange area required by the evaporator, adjusting the structural data until the effective heat transfer area is greater than or equal to the effective heat exchange area required by the evaporator.
[0068] For example, the effective heat exchange area required by the evaporator when the required cooling capacity is met is calculated by the formula in S108. , then compare ,like , then the design of the evaporator meets the requirements, if , adjust the fin size and partition spacing and redesign and calculate until .
[0069] Furthermore, after adjusting the fin size and baffle spacing, the flow resistance on the cooled medium side also needs to be calculated. Because the refrigerant side primarily undergoes a phase transition process called evaporation, and the refrigerant changes from liquid to gas, the gaps between molecules increase dramatically, leading to a sharp increase in internal pressure. Therefore, it is difficult to accurately calculate the flow resistance on the refrigerant side.
[0070] Flow resistance on the cooled medium side The calculation is as follows:
