Abstract:
The air-cooled experimental device with 8-row industrial finned tube bundle was established,and the feasibility of using dry air cooling with finned tubes to substitute wet air cooling with smooth tubes was discussed.Meanwhile,the influence of low inlet air temperature and air flow on the dry air-cooled heat transfer performance is studied.The experimental results show that the dry air cooling of the finned tubes can be used to replace the wet air cooling of the smooth tubes under low inlet air temperature condition,reducing the inlet air temperature can effectively enhance the air-cooled heat transfer performance of the finned tubes,and the heat transfer capacity of the finned tubes increases with the increment of air distribution.In the experiment,the external heat transfer coefficient of the finned tubes is different from that of the foreign correlation calculation.The correlations of the heat transfer and the pressure drop of the tube bundles are given,which provide the basis for practical application in industry.
