Surface hydrophobic modified composite condensation enhanced heat transfer pipe and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of a surface hydrophobic modified condensation enhanced heat transfer pipe capable of enhancing condensation phase change heat transfer of an external refrigerant, and particularly relates to a surface hydrophobic modified composite condensation enhanced heat transfer pipe and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The shell-and-tube condenser is widely applied to refrigeration, air conditioning and waste heat recovery equipment. In the air conditioning unit, a liquid refrigerant circulating in the system absorbs indoor heat in an evaporator and is gasified into high-temperature low-pressure refrigerant steam, the refrigerant steam is sucked into a compressor immediately and is converted into high-temperature high-pressure refrigerant steam, the high-temperature high-pressure refrigerant steam is discharged and then enters a condenser to be cooled and condensed to become low-temperature high-pressure refrigerant liquid, and then the low-temperature high-pressure refrigerant liquid is changed into low-temperature low-pressure refrigerant liquid through a throttle valve to continuously absorb the indoor heat, and the circulation is continued. The main functions of the cycle process condenser are to reduce the refrigerant temperature and condense the liquid. If the cooling effect of the condenser does not reach the expected cooling temperature, the power of the compressor is increased, the energy efficiency of the system is reduced, more electric energy is consumed, and the running cost of the system is increased. Therefore, it is important to improve the cooling efficiency of the shell-and-tube condenser for the performance of the refrigeration system. The general method for improving the heat exchange performance of the shell-and-tube condenser is to optimize the structure of the condenser. Generally, more measures are taken, such as adopting heat transfer pipes with better heat exchange performance, optimizing the arrangement of the pipe rows, adopting liquid baffle plates and the like. With the continuous maturity of the technology, the optimization of the heat exchange performance of the condenser is gradually close to the bottleneck, the difficulty in further improving the heat exchange performance is increased, and people have to find other directions and methods to improve the heat exchange performance of the shell-and-tube condenser.
At present, after decades of development, the difficulty of further strengthening the heat transfer by only using machined three-dimensional geometric fins is very high, even 10% of the heat transfer is very difficult. It is therefore desirable to propose a new way to enhance.

Compared with the prior art, the invention has at least the following beneficial technical effects:
the surface hydrophobic modified composite condensation enhanced heat transfer pipe is characterized in that the heat transfer of the heat transfer pipe is enhanced by using a three-dimensional fin which is machined, and the heat transfer pipe is subjected to secondary hydrophobic treatment by using a surface hydrophobic modification method. The main reason that the tubular type can strengthen the condensation heat exchange outside the tube is that the surface contact angle developed based on the three-dimensional structure is further increased. Compared with the three-dimensional fins without surface modification and the surfaces only adopting modification treatment, the heat transfer coefficient is greatly enhanced. Because the refrigerant is generally an organic working medium, the surface tension is very small, generally about one tenth of that of water, and the influence on the condensation heat exchange coefficient is small only by adopting the surface modification treatment technology. And the heat transfer coefficient of the surface heat transfer pipe with the hydrophobic coating plated outside by adopting the three-dimensional geometric structure can be greatly enhanced. The reason why the composite modified surface heat transfer pipe can enhance the heat transfer of the refrigerant is as follows:
the fins arranged outside the tube wall are of three-dimensional reinforced structures, and the peak surfaces formed by the first tips and the second tips can break through a liquid film formed by the refrigerant to promote the liquid film to be discharged; after the hydrophobic layer is added, when refrigerant condensate is generated outside the heat transfer pipe, the large contact angle of the surface of the composite structure formed by the three-dimensional reinforced structure and the hydrophobic layer can accelerate the discharge of a liquid film on the surface of the reinforced structure, so that the thickness of the condensate on the outer surface of the pipe is reduced, the thermal resistance outside the pipe is reduced, the condensation heat exchange coefficient outside the refrigerant pipe is improved, the effect of reinforcing condensation heat exchange is achieved, and the reinforcing effect can continuously play a role in the heat flow density change range of the whole working condition.
Furthermore, the hydrophobic layer comprises a first hydrophobic layer and a second hydrophobic layer covering the first hydrophobic layer, and the thickness of the hydrophobic layer is less than 0.1 micrometer; the thickness of the first hydrophobic layer is larger than that of the second hydrophobic layer, and the first hydrophobic layer is used for enhancing the adhesion strength of the second hydrophobic layer, so that the second hydrophobic layer can be used for enhancing the condensation heat exchange outside the tube more continuously.
Furthermore, the angle of the joint surface of the first tip and the second tip is more than or equal to 90 degrees, and the thickness of the refrigerant condensate at the top end of the three-dimensional fin can be obviously thinned.
Furthermore, the height of the rib root is 2H/3, the height of the first tip is 1H/3, the height of the second tip is 1H/9, and H is the height of the rib.
Furthermore, the rib density of the ribs is 38fpi-50fpi, the rib height is 0.5mm-0.9mm, the parameters are optimized rib parameters, and the condensation heat exchange effect of the refrigerant is optimal under the parameters.
The heat transfer pipe can be used in refrigeration, air conditioning and heating equipment using a shell-and-tube condenser, and the surface hydrophobic modified composite heat transfer pipe can be used for permanently strengthening the heat exchange performance of a condensation heat exchanger in the ranges of large heat flux density and small heat flux density. After the surface hydrophobic modified heat transfer pipe is used, the size of the condenser can be reduced due to the enhancement of the heat exchange performance of the condensing heat exchanger, and therefore the cost of a refrigeration system is reduced.
The preparation method of the heat transfer pipe comprises two steps, namely the processing of the reinforced pipe and the double-layer and multi-layer film coating processes. The coating material is a high polymer material or plasma, the use cost is low, and because the running time of the central air-conditioning water cooling unit is long, the energy consumption is high, and compared with the increase of the coating cost, the heat exchange efficiency is improved, and the benefit return brought by the increase of the energy efficiency ratio is more. The formation of the double-layer coating can also obviously improve the corrosion resistance of the heat transfer pipe, so that the average service life of the heat transfer device is prolonged.

A surface hydrophobic modified composite condensation strengthened heat transfer pipe is characterized in that a machined three-dimensional fin is used for strengthening heat transfer of the heat transfer pipe, and a surface hydrophobic modification method is used for carrying out hydrophobic treatment on the heat transfer pipe. The surface contact angle developed based on the three-dimensional fins is further increased, and compared with the three-dimensional fins without surface modification and the surfaces only adopting modification treatment, the heat transfer coefficient is greatly enhanced.
Referring to fig. 2, the surface hydrophobic modified composite condensation enhanced heat transfer pipe comprises a pipe wall 1, an internal thread enhanced structure 3 is arranged in the pipe wall 1, three-dimensional enhanced fins 2 are arranged outside the pipe wall 1, and roots of fin roots are connected to the pipe wall 1. The rib 2 has a rib density of 38fpi to 50fpi (fins per inch), a rib height of 0.5mm to 0.9mm, the rib 2 is Y-shaped, and the rib 2 includes a rib root 21, a first tip 22, and a second tip 23. The tail end of the fin root 21 extends outwards to form a first tip 22 and a second tip 23, the lower parts of the first tip 22 and the second tip 23 are connected, the angle of the connection surface of the first tip 22 and the second tip 23 is more than or equal to 90 degrees, the tops of the first tip 22 and the second tip 23 are in an inverted V shape, and the included angle of the tops is less than 30 degrees. The height of the rib root 21 is 2H/3, the height of the first tip 22 is 1H/3, the height of the second tip 23 is 1H/9, and H is the height of the rib 2.
The outer surface of the heat transfer pipe is covered with a hydrophobic layer 4, the hydrophobic layer 4 can adopt a double-layer coating film or a single-layer or multi-layer coating film, and the total thickness of the two layers is less than 0.1 micron.
When the hydrophobic layer 4 is two layers, the hydrophobic layer 4 includes a first hydrophobic layer 41 and a second hydrophobic layer 42 covering the first hydrophobic layer 41; the material of the first hydrophobic layer 41 is a high molecular material, such as polytetrafluoroethylene and parylene, and the thickness of the first hydrophobic layer 41 is greater than 0.05 micrometers; the material of the second hydrophobic layer 42 is a polymer material or plasma, and the material of the first hydrophobic layer may be the same or different.
The coating material of the hydrophobic layer 4 can be a high molecular material or plasma, and a chemical etching method can also be adopted to form the hydrophobic layer.
Next, a description will be given of a surface hydrophobic modification treatment method which is applicable to a light pipe and a reinforced pipe, and a schematic view of the preparation is shown in FIG. 1.
Step 1, surface cleaning. The method is characterized in that the surface of a machined three-dimensional condensation heat transfer pipe is washed by using isopropyl alcohol, and the main purpose is to clear away lubricating oil remained on the surface of the heat transfer pipe in the machining process, then wash the surface of the heat transfer pipe by using isopropyl alcohol to remove residual isopropyl alcohol on the surface, and finally wash the surface of the heat transfer pipe by using clear water. And the spray gun was used to blow off water droplets from the surface.
And 2, drying the surface of the heat transfer pipe. Because the equipment for modifying the hydrophobic surface must ensure the surface drying, the heating table is used for drying the surface of the heat transfer pipe for surface hydrophobic modification, the temperature of the heating table is adjusted to 110 ℃, the heat transfer pipe is placed on the heating table, when the temperature of the heating table reaches 110 ℃, the heating table is enabled to act on the heat transfer pipe for 15 to 20 minutes, the heating can be stopped, and the heat transfer pipe is stood to enable the heat transfer pipe to radiate the ambient temperature, so that the next operation can be carried out.
And 3, sealing two ends of the heat transfer pipe. Because only the outer surface of the heat transfer pipe is subjected to hydrophobic modification, in order to avoid the influence on subsequent experimental measurement caused by the hydrophobic modification of the inner surface of the heat transfer pipe in the preparation process, the two ends of the heat transfer pipe are subjected to sealing treatment, and the sealing method used in the method is to seal the two ends of the heat transfer pipe by using rubber plugs which are slightly larger than the inner diameter of the heat transfer pipe.
And 4, performing surface hydrophobic modification coating on the heat transfer pipe. Put the heat-transfer pipe that has sealed into hydrophobic layer vapor deposition system, seal the sealed lid that the system used again, the mode of hydrophobic layer deposition is carried out in the selection this moment, in order to make the hydrophobic cladding material of heat-transfer pipe surface can more lasting effect, at first plate first hydrophobic layer to the heat-transfer pipe surface, plate the second hydrophobic layer again on the basis of first hydrophobic layer, the thickness of second hydrophobic layer is less than the thickness of first water transmission layer (the more great surface contact angle of thinner hydrophobic layer), utilize vapor deposition equipment deposit two-layer hydrophobic membrane on three-dimensional reinforced pipe promptly:
vacuumizing a vapor deposition system, performing vapor deposition on the surface of the heat transfer pipe when the vacuum degree reaches a coating condition, and coating a first hydrophobic layer on the outer surface of the heat transfer pipe, wherein the process parameters are as follows: power 105W, pressure 200mTorr, time 15 min; and then, vacuumizing the vapor deposition system, performing vapor deposition when the vacuum degree reaches a coating condition, and coating a second hydrophobic layer on the first hydrophobic layer, wherein the process parameters are as follows: the power is 90W, the pressure is 400mTorr, and the time is 20 min; and after the second hydrophobic layer is coated, recovering the pressure in the system to atmospheric pressure, and finishing hydrophobic modification on the outer surface of the heat transfer pipe when the temperature of the heat transfer pipe is cooled to room temperature.
The hydrophobic layer can also be formed by chemical etching.
The condensation heat transfer coefficient of the composite modified surface heat transfer pipe adopted by the invention can be further greatly improved, and particularly, the enhancement effect of the condensation heat transfer is introduced by using the sample pipe, and the condensation heat transfer coefficient of the sample pipe can be at least improved by more than 70% for three typical refrigerants. The machined three-dimensional heat transfer tubes listed in table 1 are taken as an example to illustrate the implementation process, the heat exchange enhancement principle and the implementation effect of the invention.
Table 1 test and comparison of geometric parameters of heat exchange tubes
The coating of the surface modified tube is based on the three-dimensional ribbed tube machined by copper, and the three-dimensional ribs are further machined on the basis of the two-dimensional low-ribbed tube by the characteristics of the ribbed tube, so that a heat exchange surface with higher condensation heat exchange coefficient is obtained. The three-dimensional finned tube can enhance heat transfer through different three-dimensional structures. On the basis of the three-dimensional reinforced heat transfer pipe, different plating layers or modification modes on the surface are adopted for processing. Compared with a mechanically processed three-dimensional ribbed tube, the heat transfer coefficient of the three-dimensional ribbed tube is greatly improved.
As shown in FIG. 1 (d in the figure)i,doRespectively, inner diameter and outer diameter of the tube), passing through the outer surface of the conventional light pipe without surface hydrophobic modificationAfter the surface is subjected to hydrophobic modification, the outer surface of the surface is coated with a relatively thick first hydrophobic layer 41 and a relatively thin second hydrophobic layer 42, and the reason for firstly coating the first hydrophobic layer 41 is mainly to enhance the adhesion strength of the second hydrophobic layer 42, so that the second hydrophobic layer 42 can enhance the condensation heat exchange outside the pipe more continuously. The coating mode can also be adopted if the single or multiple layers of coatings have higher adhesive strength and can promote the thinning of a liquid film. The coating material is a high molecular material or plasma, and the coating mode is effective for three-dimensional reinforced pipes, but the effect of reinforcing the condensation heat exchange of the refrigerant by the coating of the light pipe is not obvious. The invention also uses a light pipe to compare the influence of the coating with a smooth surface on the condensation heat exchange of different refrigerants. The process of carrying out surface hydrophobic modification on the smooth pipe is similar to that of a reinforced pipe, the main difference is that a three-dimensional fin reinforced structure machined by a machine is arranged outside the reinforced pipe, and the smooth pipe is directly plated on the smooth surface without any fins.
The direct effect on the heat transfer tube after the hydrophobic layer is plated is the change in the surface contact angle. The influence of the front and back plating layers on the surface contact angle and the condensation heat exchange is illustrated by taking a smooth heat transfer pipe and a three-dimensional machining reinforced heat transfer pipe as examples. The parameters for both tubes are shown in table 1. The reinforced pipe is a double-side reinforced pipe, internal threads are reinforced in the pipe, the reinforced structure outside the pipe is fins 2, and the reinforced pipe can be processed into different three-dimensional fin geometric structures due to the fact that a copper pipe is made of soft materials, and the density of fins outside the pipe of the reinforced pipe is high as can be seen from the figure. Fig. 4a to 4l are the comparison of the contact angles of water before and after the modified coating on the surface of the three-dimensional reinforced fin. For a smooth surface, the contact angle of water on the surface of the heat transfer pipe after film coating is further increased. For the smooth heat transfer tubes tested in the test, the contact angle increased from 88 ° to 121 °. In order to test whether the organic working medium of the refrigerant corrodes the coating in the experiment, after a one-month condensation heat transfer experiment of the refrigerant at the saturation temperature of 40 ℃, static and dynamic contact angle tests are carried out, and as can be seen from the figure, the contact angle is not reduced, even is increased to a certain extent. Therefore, the refrigeration working medium has no influence on the surface heat exchange effect after the light pipe is modified. For the surface of the three-dimensional reinforced ribbed tube, the surface of the rib top is taken as a reference surface, before the modified coating is not carried out, when liquid drops are dripped on the reinforced heat transfer surface, a part of liquid enters the interior of the rib space, the liquid wraps a part of the rib top section, and the measured contact angle is 122 degrees. When the liquid drop is small, the liquid drop is suspended on the top of the reinforced fins, no liquid enters the fins, the contact angle is 152 degrees, the contact angle of the super-hydrophobic surface is achieved, after a condensation heat transfer experiment of the refrigerant at 40 ℃ saturation temperature for one month is carried out, the contact angle is almost unchanged, and the static contact angle of an actual test result is 154 degrees. The dynamic contact angle includes advancing and receding contact angles, and is similar to the static contact angle, which are close to the advancing and receding contact angles before the unmodified plating film. After surface modification, the contact angles all increased to 150 ° or more. Therefore, in the condensation heat exchange process, condensate flows on the heat transfer surface, and the contact angle of the condensate is still larger. Along with the proceeding of condensation heat transfer, the modification effect can not be changed, and the heat exchange effect of the heat exchanger is still good. After the experiment of condensation heat transfer of the refrigerant at the saturation temperature of 40 ℃ for one month, the change of the dynamic and static contact angles is still not large. The contact angle changes of the two exemplary heat exchange tubes before and after the plating film modification and before and after the experiment are shown in table 2.
TABLE 2
The appearance of the strengthened surface is changed microscopically after the plating. FIGS. 5a to 5i are graphs showing the change of the heat transfer surface under a microscope before and after the surface of the three-dimensional strengthened tube is coated with a film and after a condensation heat transfer experiment is performed. As can be seen from the figure, the surface of the reinforced pipe after coating is smoother due to the rough units generated by mechanical processing, and the mechanical chamfer is changed from sharp to smooth. The surface structure is more uniform as seen in the photograph magnified 5000 times. After the one-month condensation heat transfer test is carried out, the structure and the smoothness of the coating surface of the three-dimensional reinforced pipe do not change greatly, which is the reason why the contact angle of the surface does not change greatly after the condensation heat transfer is carried out.
A comparison of the heat transfer coefficients of the refrigerant condensation before and after coating the two exemplary heat transfer tubes is shown in fig. 6 a-11 b. In order to research whether the surface of the coating still works on different refrigerants, three refrigerants of R134a (hydrofluoro hydrocarbon), R1234ze (E) (hydrofluoro olefin, novel environment-friendly refrigerant) and R290 (hydrofluoro hydrocarbon) are selected to research the influence of the coating on the condensation heat transfer coefficient of the coating. The experimental results before and after the surface hydrophobic modification are shown in fig. 6 a-11 b, wherein fig. 6 a-8 b show the influence of the surface hydrophobic modification on the heat transfer coefficient of the condensation outside the R134a, R1234ze (E) and R290 light tubes at different saturation temperatures. FIGS. 9 a-11 b are graphs showing the effect of machined three-dimensional fin surface hydrophobic modification on the heat transfer coefficient of condensation outside the R134a, R1234ze (E) and R290 tubes at different saturation temperatures. The saturation temperatures for the condensation heat transfer test were 40 ℃ and 30 ℃.
As can be seen from FIGS. 6a to 8b, the hydrophobic modification of the outer surface of the light pipe can increase the condensation coefficient of R134a, R1234ze (E) and R290 at different saturation temperatures. Because the thermophysical parameters of R134a and R1234ze (E) are similar at different saturation temperatures, the condensation heat transfer coefficients of the R134a and the R1234ze (E) are also similar from FIG. 6a, FIG. 6b, FIG. 7a and FIG. 7b, the strengthening effect is not very obvious when the heat flow density is higher, but the strengthening effect of the surface hydrophobic modification is strengthened continuously along with the reduction of the heat flow density, the strengthening effect is maximized when the heat flow density is minimum, and the surface hydrophobic modification can make the condensation heat transfer coefficients of the R134a and the R1234ze (E) outside the light pipe maximally increase by 16.5% and 12.3%, respectively. The strengthening effect of the surface hydrophobic modification on the external condensation heat exchange coefficient of the R290 light tube is more remarkable than that of R134a and R1234ze (E), the difference between the thermal physical parameters of R290 and R134a and R1234ze (E) is larger, especially the difference between the density and the viscosity is larger, the strengthening effect of the surface hydrophobic modification on the external condensation heat exchange coefficient of the R290 light tube is stronger due to the difference, and the maximum strengthening effect can reach 19.7%.
Also, as can be seen from FIGS. 9a to 11b, the hydrophobic modification of the surface for R13 at different saturation temperatures4a, R1234ze (E) and R290, the enhancement of the condensation coefficient outside the tube is much more pronounced than for light pipes. As mentioned above, the thermophysical parameters of R134a and R1234ze (E) are similar, and the influence of the surface hydrophobic modification on the heat transfer coefficient of the condensation outside the reinforced tubes of R134a and R1234ze (E) is also similar. When the heat flux density is higher, the enhanced heat exchange effect tends to be constant value along with the reduction of the heat flux density because the condensate outside the pipe is thicker. When the heat flux density is less than 60 kW.m–2In the process, the strengthening effect is obviously and continuously enhanced along with the continuous reduction of the density of the heat flow, and the strengthening effect of the surface hydrophobic modification on the external condensation heat exchange coefficient of the R134a and R1234ze (E) three-dimensional strengthening pipes can reach 112.4 percent and 186.3 percent respectively to the maximum. Also for R290, the enhancement effect of the surface hydrophobic modification on the condensation heat transfer coefficient outside the three-dimensional enhanced tube of R290 is more remarkable than that of R134a and R1234ze (E). When the heat flux density is as high as 150 kW.m–2In the process, the surface hydrophobic modification can still enhance about 70% of the condensation heat exchange system outside the R290 pipe.
As can be seen from the condensation heat transfer experiments of the two heat transfer pipes illustrated above, the surface hydrophobic modified composite pipe can enhance the condensation heat transfer coefficients of R134a, R1234ze (E) and R290 outside the light pipe and the three-dimensional enhanced pipe, and the enhancement effect of the surface hydrophobic modified composite pipe is more remarkable on the enhanced pipe. If the heat transfer pipe equipment of the type is used for manufacturing the air conditioner condenser, the heat exchange area can be reduced by more than one third, and the heat transfer pipe equipment has good application prospect and economic value.
The heat transfer pipe prepared by the invention can be used in refrigeration, air conditioning and heating ventilation equipment using a shell-and-tube condenser, and the surface hydrophobic modified heat transfer pipe can be used for permanently strengthening the heat exchange performance of a condensation heat exchanger in the ranges of large heat flux density and small heat flux density. After the surface hydrophobic modified heat transfer pipe is used, the heat exchange performance of the heat exchanger can be enhanced, so that the size of the condenser can be reduced, and the hardware cost of the system can be reduced.
