Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of paints, in particular to paints for frost retardant coatings, their preparation method and their use. [Background technology]
[0002] The fins of air conditioner heat exchangers are often made of aluminum foil coated with a hydrophilic coating. With technological advances and industry trends toward environmental protection and energy conservation, air conditioner factories are increasingly demanding the functionality of hydrophilic coated aluminum foil. When outdoor air conditioners used in residential and commercial buildings experience low outdoor temperatures (around 0°C) and high ambient humidity, frost builds up on the heat exchanger, adversely affecting heat exchange efficiency. To address this issue, almost all outdoor units employ reverse cycle defrosting. This operation requires an additional 10-15% of power consumption, increasing energy consumption. Improving this phenomenon has become a key issue in the development of coatings for outdoor units.
[0003] In principle, the frosting process in a heat exchanger is essentially a process in which the heat exchanger acquires the latent heat of water vapor in the air. Immediately after transferring its latent heat of liquefaction to the heat exchanger surface, the water vapor loses its latent heat of evaporation and forms solid frost particles that adhere to the heat exchanger surface. During this process, some frost particles are blown away from the frost layer surface by the wind, but many frost particles accumulate, thickening the frost layer. Water vapor in the air first undergoes heterogeneous nucleation on the cold surface, and the condensation nuclei continue to grow and coalesce to form macroscale condensation droplets. As the temperature of the droplets drops and they freeze, frost crystals form on the surface of the frozen droplets. These frost crystals continue to grow, gradually forming a frost layer. When the degree of supercooling on the frost layer surface approaches zero, the frost layer stops growing vertically, and water vapor diffuses into the gaps in the frost layer, forming frost crystals, increasing the density of the frost layer.
[0004] Based on this, the key to solving this problem is to reduce the probability of water vapor in the air forming droplets on the heat exchanger surface or to prevent droplets from remaining on the heat exchanger surface. The former is limited by the external climate, leaving little room for human improvement and research still incomplete. The latter calls for new requirements for heat exchanger coatings. Research has shown that applying a hydrophilic treatment to heat exchanger fins improves water repellency and makes it difficult for water vapor to form droplets, but leaves visible traces of water droplets, resulting in the formation of thick frost. Conversely, applying a hydrophobic treatment to heat exchanger fins makes it difficult for water droplets to slide off. After condensation, the water vapor remains on the fins as sparse droplets, forming sparse frost over time. However, because the droplets are difficult to slide off, they clog the drainage channel when the air conditioner continues to operate, significantly affecting its normal operation.
[0005] Patent application number CN112322164A discloses a surface treatment agent capable of delaying frost formation on the aluminum fins of a radiator. This surface treatment agent is applied to the surface of the aluminum fins of a radiator to form a coating, thereby delaying frost formation. However, the material used in this invention is limited to expensive polyurethane resin, and the effect of delaying frost formation is unclear, so rational industrial production has not yet been achieved.
[0006] Patent application number CN102549079A discloses a resin material with excellent frost-inhibiting properties, and produces a laminated metal plate capable of suppressing frost. However, the structure actually produced in this invention is a three-layer structure of frost-inhibiting resin-inorganic oxide (organic-inorganic complex oxide)-metal plate, and the introduction of the inorganic oxide layer increases the difficulty of processing and increases manufacturing costs. Furthermore, this invention does not disclose the specific composition of the intermediate layer material used, whether it has an odor, compatibility, or other effects.

[0039] Specifically, in some examples of the present invention, 30 to 50 parts by mass of a hydrophilic polymer and 15 to 50 parts by mass of water were added to a vessel and stirred uniformly at 200 to 600 rpm at 50 to 150°C under a nitrogen atmosphere.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present invention, a coating having frost-retarding properties can be formed by applying the paint for a frost-retarding coating described in any one of the above to the surface of a fin that has been coated with an anticorrosion primer.
[0043] The present invention will be further illustrated by the following examples, in which all reagents used are commercially available.
[0044] Example 1 S1: Synthesis of graft modified polymers 35 parts by mass of a hydrophilic polymer (a copolymer of acrylic acid monomer and sulfonic acid monomer in a 2:1 mass ratio) and 49.8 parts by mass of water were added to a vessel, nitrogen was introduced, the temperature was raised to 80°C, and the rotation speed was increased to 500 rpm to uniformly stir. Next, 0.2 parts by mass of γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane and 15 parts by mass of a hydrophobic polymer (a polymer of polyvinylidene fluoride and silicone monomer in a 1:4 mass ratio) were added while stirring, and the mixture was stirred for 5 minutes to obtain a graft-modified polymer.
[0045] S2: Preparation of paint for frost retardant coating At 25-30°C, 52 parts by weight of water, 1 part by weight of ethylene glycol ethyl ether as a solvent, 0.5 parts by weight of polysiloxane as a wetting agent, 2 parts by weight of polyurethane associative rheology aid, and 4.5 parts by weight of cyanamide curing agent were mixed in a container and stirred at 300 rpm for 5 minutes. After uniform stirring, 40 parts by weight of graft-modified polymer was added, the rotation speed was increased to 600 rpm, and the mixture was stirred for 10 minutes to obtain the frost-retardant coating paint as a uniform emulsion.
[0046] In the above S1, the total mass parts of the graft modified polymer is 100 parts, and in S2, the total mass parts of the frost retardant coating material is 100 parts, and the mass parts in S1 and S2 are calculated individually.
[0047] When using this paint, simply apply it as a top coat to a primer that is commonly used for the heat exchanger fins of air conditioner outdoor units.
[0048] Example 2 In this example, S1 contains 40 parts by mass of hydrophilic polymer, 49.5 parts by mass of water, 0.5 parts by mass of γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, and 10 parts by mass of hydrophobic polymer.
[0049] In S2, the specific embodiment was the same as in Example 1, except that the water content was 51.8 parts by weight, the solvent ethylene glycol tert-butyl ether was 1 part by weight, the fluorocarbon wetting agent was 0.2 parts by weight, the polyurethane associative rheology aid was 2 parts by weight, the polyisocyanate curing agent was 5 parts by weight, and the graft-modified polymer was 40 parts by weight.
[0050] Example 3 In this example, the specific embodiment was the same as that of Example 1, except that in S1, the hydrophilic resin was obtained by copolymerizing an acrylic acid monomer and an amide monomer in a mass ratio of 2:1.
[0051] Example 4 In this example, the specific embodiment of S1 was the same as that of Example 1, except that the hydrophilic polymer was an acrylic acid monomer polymer.
[0052] Example 5 In this example, the specific embodiment was the same as that of Example 1, except that in S1, the hydrophilic polymer was obtained by copolymerizing an acrylic acid monomer and a sulfonic acid monomer in a mass ratio of 1:2.
[0053] Example 6 In this example, in S1, the specific embodiment was the same as that of Example 1, except that the hydrophobic polymer was obtained by polymerizing polyvinylidene fluoride and silicone monomer in a mass ratio of 1:19.
[0054] Example 7 In this example, the specific embodiment was the same as in Example 1, except that in S2, the graft-modified polymer was 30 parts by mass and the water was 62 parts by mass.
[0055] Example 8 In this example, the specific embodiment was the same as in Example 1, except that in S2, the graft-modified polymer was 50 parts by mass and the water was 42 parts by mass.
[0056] Comparative Example 1 In this comparative example, in S1, the hydrophilic polymer is 50 parts by mass, and 50 parts by mass of water is added without using the hydrophobic polymer or graft modification aid, and the mixture is stirred uniformly to obtain a hydrophilic resin.
[0057] In S2, the graft-modified polymer was changed to the same amount of hydrophilic resin and blended to obtain a comparative sample, and the specific embodiment was the same as that of Example 1.
[0058] Comparative Example 2 In this comparative example, in S1, the hydrophobic polymer was 50 parts by mass, and 50 parts by mass of water was added without using a hydrophilic polymer or a graft modification aid, followed by uniform stirring to obtain a hydrophilic resin.
[0059] In S2, the graft-modified polymer was changed to the same amount of hydrophilic resin and blended to obtain a comparative sample, and the specific embodiment was the same as that of Example 1.
[0060] Comparative Example 3 In this comparative example, the specific embodiment was the same as that of Example 1, except that in S2, the graft-modified polymer was 20 parts by mass and the water was 72 parts by mass.
[0061] Comparative Example 4 In this comparative example, the specific embodiment was the same as in Example 1, except that in S2, the graft-modified polymer was 60 parts by mass and the water was 32 parts by mass.
[0062] Performance testing The frost retardant coating paints of Examples 1 to 8 were applied to fins to form coatings, and the coatings were tested for adhesion, slow water droplet sliding time, and water droplet sliding time after rinsing with water, and the test results are shown in Table 1. The test methods were as follows. Adhesion: Tested by cross-cut test. Water droplet slow sliding time: An aluminum plate coated with a frost-retardant coating was placed vertically, and an 8μL droplet of water was taken with a 10μL dropper and dropped onto the coated surface from the same height. The time it took for the droplet to slide 8cm was recorded. Generally, a sliding time of more than 15 seconds is considered to be an indication that the frost-retardant ability does not meet the requirements. Water droplet sliding time after rinsing: The coating was left in running water for 100 hours, and then removed and the time for water droplets to slide off was tested.
[0063] In addition, a simulation experiment device was prepared, and a low-temperature outdoor environment was simulated using a refrigeration panel 1. Symbol a is a test piece with the frost-retardant coating of Example 1, and symbol b is a hydrophilic test piece of Comparative Example 1. The purpose was to investigate how water droplets slide off the test piece.
[0064] [Table 1]
[0065] As shown in Figure 2, under conditions simulating outdoor low temperatures, water droplets of the same mass were dropped onto two panels, panel a and panel b. After the water droplets slid down due to gravity, it was found that in panel a, the test piece with the frost-retardant coating had almost no water marks, while in panel b, the hydrophilic sample had obvious water marks. The test piece of Example 1 showed a lower probability of frost formation than the test piece of Comparative Example 1.
[0066] As shown in Figure 3, during the ice formation and melting simulation, small water droplets first formed on specimen a, revealing a distinctly uneven image under a microscope. On specimen b, a water film quickly formed, revealing a uniform, flat image. After thawing, specimen a had a water film, which quickly condensed and caused droplets to slide off, leaving little residue on the substrate. On specimen b, the water film remained on the surface for a long time even after thawing due to the blocking effect of the water film. Based on this phenomenon, if the air conditioner continued to operate, specimen a could maintain normal operation for a long time without frosting due to the rapid removal of droplets. On specimen b, the water film continued to block the droplets, eventually forming a thick layer of frost, which affected normal operation. This demonstrated the usefulness of frost-retardant coatings in reducing frost formation at low temperatures (near 0°C).
[0067] As can be seen from the test results of Examples 1 to 3 and Example 6 in Table 1, when the mass of polyvinylidene fluoride in the hydrophobic polymer is 10 to 40% of the mass of the hydrophobic polymer, both the initial water droplet sliding time and the water droplet sliding time after rinsing are less than 10 seconds, and the frost formation retardation ability is excellent. When the mass ratio of polyvinylidene fluoride in the hydrophobic polymer is not 10 to 40%, the water droplet sliding time after rinsing exceeds 20 seconds, and the frost formation retardation ability is lower than that of Examples 1 and 2.
[0068] As can be seen from the test results of Examples 1 and 4-5, when the mass ratio of the acrylic acid monomer in the hydrophilic polymer is 50%-80% of the mass of the hydrophilic polymer, the water droplet sliding time is short and the requirement is met.When the mass ratio of the acrylic acid monomer in the hydrophilic polymer is not 50%-80%, the water droplet sliding time after water washing is too long and the frost formation retardation ability is lower than that of Example 1.
[0069] As can be seen from the test results of Examples 1 and 2 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2, if only a hydrophilic polymer is used in a frost retardant coating paint, neither the initial water droplet sliding time nor the water droplet sliding time after rinsing with water meets the requirements. If only a hydrophobic polymer is used, the water droplet sliding time after rinsing with water does not meet the requirements. Only when a hydrophilic polymer and a hydrophobic polymer are used in combination, do both the initial water droplet sliding time and the water droplet sliding time after rinsing with water meet the requirements.
[0070] As can be seen from the test results of Examples 1, 7 and 8, and Comparative Examples 3 and 4, when the content of the graft-modified polymer in the frost-retardant coating paint is 30% to 50%, the water droplet sliding time meets the requirement. When the content is less than 30% or more than 50%, the water droplet sliding time after rinsing with water exceeds 25 seconds, and the frost-retardant performance does not meet the requirement.
[0071] The above embodiments are only used to explain the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the same. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the above embodiments may be modified or some of the technical features may be replaced with equivalents. However, these modifications or substitutions do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, and all should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
