- the reference value of the diameter of the hole 52 varies depending on the situation where the device is used. However, if the hole diameter is too small, the above effect cannot be expected unless numerous holes are provided on the fin surface. If a hole with a radius of approximately 0.5 mm or more is available, it can be used for current air conditioners and refrigerators.
- the diameter of the hole provided in the fin is nano-sized and is sufficiently small compared to the diameter of dust and dust that is normally assumed indoors and outdoors, so the hole is not blocked and the performance can be maintained over time. .

However, the above-described effect does not change even for a hole that penetrates essentially. For heat exchangers with extremely thin fins, through holes may be drilled.
- an evaporator (heat exchanger) used in an air conditioner has a smaller fin interval than a general heat exchanger in order to increase the amount of heat exchange with air. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7A, when the windward side and the leeward side are compared, the amount of frost 64 attached to the windward side is large, and the height of the frost 64 is higher on the windward side and becomes lower as it approaches the leeward side.

- a decrease in the amount of frost formation can be expected by providing holes 83 having the above effects in the fins. By doing so, even when the operation of the evaporator is performed at a lower temperature, the time during which the fins are closed can be delayed, and the performance of the apparatus is improved, resulting in energy saving.
- the diameter of the hole 83 provided in the fin is nano-sized, and is sufficiently smaller than the diameter of dust or dust normally assumed indoors or outdoors, so that the hole is not blocked and the performance is maintained over time. it can.

Abstract
Description
(1)水蒸気から凝縮水滴への相変化
(2)凝縮水滴から氷滴への相変化
に注目し、熱交換器のフィンに多数の穴を設けることで、着霜領域の制限、凝固温度の低下を行い、着霜が生じても性能を長く維持して、省エネを図ろうとするものである。
また、熱交換器を構成する伝熱用のフィンの表面にギブス・トムソン効果が生じる穴を設け、該穴内で凝縮水滴(又は凝縮液滴)の凝固点を0℃以下に低下するようにしたものである。
また、熱交換器を構成する複数枚平行に並べられた伝熱用のフィンに対して、各々のフィンの片面のみに穴を持たせ、霜層によるフィン間の閉塞に要する時間を遅延させ、さらにデフロストに要する時間を短くするようにしたものである。
この発明に係る熱交換器の実施の形態1について、それが用いられている冷凍サイクル装置を例にして図を用いて説明する。図1は、冷凍装置の冷媒回路を表している。この冷凍装置は、蒸気圧縮式の冷凍サイクル運転を行うことによって、屋内の冷凍に使用される装置である。図1において、11は室外機、12は室内機である。室外機11は、圧縮機21、凝縮器22、凝縮器22に空気を送る凝縮器用ファン23を備え、室内機12は、膨張手段24、蒸発器25、蒸発器25に空気を送る蒸発器用ファン26を備えている。圧縮機21、凝縮器22、膨張手段24、及び蒸発器25は冷凍サイクル回路を構成し、その内部には循環用冷媒が充填されている。本装置は主にユニットクーラーやショーケースなどの低温機器に見られる形態である。
次に、この発明の実施の形態2の熱交換器を説明する。図8に蒸発器(熱交換器)25を構成しているフィン71及び伝熱管72を示した。既に述べたように、凝縮器(熱交換器)25は伝熱管72を通じて流れ込んだ液冷媒が気化することで吸熱を行い、外部の空気とフィン71を介して熱交換する。上述したように、冷凍条件では周囲の空気温度が-20℃、蒸発温度が約-30℃であり、フィン71表面は0℃以下となり着霜が生じる。また、図8に示すように伝熱管72の周りはフィン71表面でも特に温度が低いといえる。実施の形態2では、以下の式(5)、(6)のギブス・トムソン効果によって、凝縮水滴の凝固点の低下に供する穴73を、フィン71の全体若しくは伝熱管72の周りに設けることで、着霜に至る時間を遅延させ、装置の性能低下を抑えるようにしたものである。
なお、穴83間の間隔はその穴径と等しいオーダーの数nm程度の間隔が望ましいく、最低限でも200nm×200nmの平面に200個の穴83が必要であり、50個程度の穴数では最適な効果は見込まれない。
次に、この発明の実施の形態3の構成について説明する。図11に蒸発器(熱交換器)のよく知られた構成の一例を示している。この蒸発器(熱交換器)は、複数のフィン31が一定の間隔で複数枚平行に並べられて、そこに伝熱管32が通されている。このような熱交換器においてフィン31が0℃以下まで冷却され、着霜が始まると、向かい合うフィン31の両面から霜が成長する。そしてある時間経つと、フィン31間が霜で閉塞され、フィン31が埋まり、蒸発器の性能が低下する。このため蒸発器のデフロストを行い、フィン31間の霜を溶かす。一般的なデフロスト方法は、四方弁を切り替えて、冷媒の流れる向きを逆転させ、蒸発器熱交換器と凝縮器熱交換器を変えて霜を溶かすものである。
さらに、この発明の実施の形態4の構成について説明する。図12に実施の形態1に示した凝縮器(熱交換器)の伝熱フィン31を示す。前述したようにフィン31は各々が一定の間隔で複数枚平行に並べられており、0℃以下まで冷却されると、着霜が始まる。その後、フィン31間が霜で閉塞され、フィン31が埋まり、装置の性能が低下する。
この際、フィン31に設ける穴は、ピッチを小さくし密集させるか若しくは複数列を互いに近接して配置するほうがよい。なおこれは、実施の形態4だけでなく、他の実施の形態においても当てはまることである。
また、穴52,63,73,83をフィンの風上側に設けることで、フィン表面の霜層は、風の進行方向に対して高さがほぼ一定となる。これにより風路抵抗が軽減され、着霜時の性能が向上し、省エネを図ることができる。
また、穴73,83内の凝縮水滴の凝固点は、ギブス・トムソン効果により低下するので、フィン全体にそのような穴73,83を設けることで、熱交換器を0℃以下の低温で運転する際に、フィンの着霜が遅延される。
また、同様にフィンの伝熱管周りに穴52,63,73,83を集中的に設けることで、熱抵抗軽減でき、熱交換器を0℃以下の低温で運転する際に、能力低下を遅延できる。
さらに、フィンの片面のみに上述の穴を持たせることで、霜の成長を向かい合うフィンの片方のみに限定でき、フィン間の閉塞にかかる時間を遅らせることができ、しかもデフロストの際、霜がフィンから剥がれ易くなり、デフロストに要する時間が短くなる。
