Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a fin-type heat exchanger, and more particularly to a fin-type heat exchanger for use in a refrigeration or air conditioning system.
  • a fin-type heat exchanger having a large heat exchange area is usually used.
  • various improvement methods have been proposed as follow.
  • a heat dissipation fin is made of aluminum, and a blue film is formed on the heat dissipation fin by an epoxy-coated treatment.
  • An outer layer of the blue film is coated with an acrylic resin having rust prevention performance to effectively prevent acid rain and salt erosion.
  • a hydrophilic film is coated on its outermost layer. Therefore, water droplets can be evenly distributed on the heat dissipation fin, which can avoid rust and corrosion, thereby effectively extending a lifespan and resisting a hot, humid, and high salt environment.
  • aluminum combines with oxygen in air to form an aluminum oxide. This oxide layer contributes to corrosion protection.
  • An isolating film composed of a epoxy resin can be formed on the heat dissipation fin by epoxy-coated treatment.
  • chlorine ions can be prevented from contacting the aluminum fin to prevent corrosion.
  • the epoxy-coated treatment is a pre-treatment, a coating operation must be completed in a factory that supplies aluminum.
  • a machined surface forms many cuts and breaks. These cuts and breaks cause corrosion factors to enter the heat dissipation fin, causing the heat dissipation fin to corrode.
  • the oxide layer on the surface of the aluminum fin does not prevent corrosion from continuing, especially in a humid environment. Thus, once corrosion occurs, it will continue.
  • respective aluminum alloys have different corrosion resistances, and corrosion results vary depending on crystal phase. In a case of a commonly used 1100 aluminum alloy, local deep corrosion is easily exhibited in a salt spray test. Moreover, when tested in an 8006 aluminum alloy, it exhibited a uniform shallow corrosion. Hence, in terms of structural damage, the 1100 aluminum alloy will be more serious.
  • the isolating film composed of the epoxy resin exhibits poor thermal conductivity, and although it has considerable protective ability, it does not have an ability to resist ultraviolet (UV) degradation.
  • an object of the present disclosure is to provide a fin-type heat exchanger for use in a refrigeration or air conditioning system.
  • a heat dissipation layer including nanomaterials is formed on a fin of a heat exchanger.
  • Heat dissipating powders of different particle sizes are set to an appropriate ratio, and an adhesive is added. Therefore, a heat exchange area of the fin increases, and heat radiation and conduction of the fin are enhanced.
  • the fin is controlled to be hydrophobic or hydrophilic. Also, a surface friction coefficient is decreased, so as to increase efficiency of thermal convection, such that the heat dissipation layer exhibits excellent UV and corrosion resistance.
  • the present disclosure provides a fin-type heat exchanger, including: a plurality of fins and a plurality of refrigerant pipes transversely passed through the plurality of fins and disposed between the plurality of fins. Air is heat-exchanged in an air passage between the plurality of refrigerant pipes and the plurality of fins by introducing a refrigerant into the plurality of refrigerant pipes.
  • a surface of each of the fins includes a heat dissipation layer, and the heat dissipation layer includes a plurality of first heat dissipating powders with a first particle size and a plurality of second heat dissipating powders with a second particle size.
  • Material of the heat dissipation layer includes nano-graphite, carbon nano-tube, boron nitride, or nano-diamond.
  • material of each of the first heat dissipating powders is selected from the group consisting of the nano-graphite, the carbon nano-tube, titanium dioxide, the boron nitride, carbon black, carbon fiber, metal powder, silicon carbide, aluminum oxide, aluminum nitride, aluminum oxide, silicon dioxide, and the nano-diamond.
  • material of each of the second heat dissipating powders is selected from the group consisting of the nano-graphite, the carbon nano-tube, the boron nitride, carbon black, carbon fiber, metal powder, silicon carbide, aluminum nitride, and the nano-diamond.
  • the first particle size of each of the first heat dissipating powders ranges between 300 nanometers and 500 nanometers.
  • the second particle size of each of the second heat dissipating powders ranges between 25 nanometers and 35 nanometers.
  • the first heat dissipating powders present more than 0% to 35% of the heat dissipation layer content.
  • the second heat dissipating powders present in a range from 5% to 40% of the heat dissipation layer content.
  • the heat dissipation layer further includes an adhesive covering the first heat dissipating powders and the second heat dissipating powders, and the adhesive is configured to reduce a surface friction coefficient of the heat dissipation layer.
  • Material of the adhesive is selected from the group consisting of polyacrylate, a polyvinyl alcohol resin, and siloxane.
  • a ratio of the first particle size to the second particle size ranges between 10:1 and 30:1, such that the heat dissipation layer is hydrophobic.
  • a ratio of the first particle size to the second particle size is greater than 500:1, such that the heat dissipation layer is hydrophilic.
  • the present disclosure discloses that the heat dissipation layer including nano-materials is formed on fins of the heat exchanger.
  • the heat dissipation layer includes heat dissipating powders of different particle sizes, so that a heat exchange area of the fins is increased and heat radiation and conduction of the fins are enhanced.
  • the heat dissipating powders of different particle sizes are set to an appropriate ratio for controlling the fin to be hydrophobic or hydrophilic, such that the fin is formed to have a high moisture content or self-cleaning ability.
  • the surface friction coefficient can be reduced to improve efficiency of thermal convection, such that the heat dissipation layer exhibits excellent UV and corrosion resistance.

  • FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a refrigeration system according to a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure.
  • the refrigeration system includes four main units, which are a compressor, a condenser, a refrigerant controller, and an evaporator.
  • the refrigeration system performs heat release and heat absorption with latent heat of the refrigerant, so as to achieve heat transfer.
  • a common principle of air conditioning is that heat is transferred from a heat source with a low temperature to a heat dissipation device with a higher temperature by a heat pump, and naturally, the heat flows in the opposite direction.
  • the refrigerant is a main cause of cooling the air.
  • the refrigerant is a volatile gas that circulates in the refrigeration system as if it were blood in a human blood vessel, such that an endothermic reaction is conducted in the evaporator, and an exothermic reaction is conducted in the condenser. Therefore, in fact, the refrigeration system is not a device for producing cooling air, but a device for transferring heat energy from a room to an outside.
  • Commercially available refrigerants are classified into different types according to pressure and usage requirements, such as R-123, RR-134, R-404A, R-407C, R-410A, R-600 and the like.
  • FIG. 2 is a pressure-enthalpy diagram showing relationship between pressure and enthalpy of a refrigeration cycle in an ideal environment.
  • a circulation composed of the compressor, the condenser, the refrigerant controller, and the evaporator is as follows.
  • the compressor is configured to compress a low-pressure and low-temperature gaseous refrigerant into a high-pressure and high-temperature gaseous refrigerant, which is also a source of power for the refrigerant to cycle through the refrigeration system.
  • the condenser is configured to cool the high-pressure and high-temperature gaseous refrigerant into a high-pressure and medium-temperature liquid refrigerant through a cooling medium, thereby performing an exothermic reaction at this end.
  • the refrigerant controller also referred to as a reciprocator
  • the purpose of the pressure reduction is to match an evaporation temperature of the evaporator. Therefore, the lower the required temperature, the lower the pressure needs to be reduced. That is, a high-temperature evaporation occurs under high pressure, and low-temperature evaporation occurs under low pressure.
  • the evaporator is configured to evaporate the low-temperature and medium-temperature liquid refrigerant into the low-pressure and low-temperature gaseous refrigerant. Therefore, the evaporator is suitable for installation in an indoor cold room or a freezer. When the refrigerant is evaporated, the heat is absorbed, which causes the temperature of the indoor cold room or freezer to decrease, thereby reducing the temperature and freezing.

  • a path from point 1 to point 2 is an isentropic compression process, in which no heat energy is lost or obtained.
  • a path from point 2 to point 3 or point 4 to point 1 is a condensation or evaporation process.
  • This process is a change in isobaric pressure and does not result in loss or acquisition of thermal energy due to an influence of a pipeline.
  • a path from point 3 to point 4 is a thermal expansion process.
  • This process is a depressurization along an isenthalpic line and does not exchange heat with an outside world.
  • the refrigerant entering the compressor is in a saturated gas state
  • the refrigerant leaving the condenser is in a saturated liquid state.
  • the pressure-enthalpy diagram B of the refrigeration cycle in the actual environment will be affected by the temperature and humidity of a surrounding environment, which will inevitably cause heat loss.
  • the present disclosure enhances the heat exchangers in the condenser and the evaporator of the refrigeration system, such that the performances of heat exchangers, such as radiation, conduction, and convection are increased, thereby extending the lifespan of the refrigeration system.
  • a heat dissipation layer including nanomaterials is formed on fins of the heat exchangers of the condenser and the evaporator.
  • Heat dissipating powders of different particle sizes are set to an appropriate ratio, and an adhesive is added (the specific structure and characteristics of the heat dissipation layer will be described in detail later). Therefore, a heat exchange area of the fins increases, and heat radiation and conduction of the fins are enhanced.
  • the fins are controlled to be hydrophobic or hydrophilic. Also, a surface friction coefficient is decreased, so as to increase efficiency of thermal convection, such that the heat dissipation layer exhibits excellent UV and corrosion resistance. Furthermore, the greater the pressure difference between condensation and evaporation, the greater the energy will be required for the compressor.
  • the present disclosure can also achieve advantages of improving cooling efficiency and reducing the use time to achieve energy saving. It has been proved by experiments that it not only achieves energy saving of 25 to 40 percent, but also achieves a best environmental protection without reducing the performance for five years.

Since the nano-sized concave and convex surface can stably stabilize gas atoms adsorbed thereon, a stable gas film is formed on the surface of the material.
  • the water droplet will form a solid-gas-liquid tristate interface on a contact surface with the surface of the object, so that there is an air interface between the water droplet and the surface of the object, and the rough surface structure is thus designed to create a hydrophobic surface.
  • the hydrophobic properties exhibited on a solid surface of a heterogeneous composite air is sealed in pores of the surface structure due to a large depth of the roughened pores. Therefore, under an action of wetting, liquid does not completely adsorb or adhere to the solid surface, but is suspended above the solid surface and the air layer formed by the roughness.
  • the liquid is only partially in contact with the solid.

  • the thermal convection is mainly through eddying motion. Convective heat transfer refers to turbulent motion in a boundary layer to achieve heat transfer. That is, the fluid flowing in the heat exchange will generate friction with the surrounding fin 20 , which generates a resistance force. The frictional resistance of the surface of the fin 20 affects the performance of heat conduction.
