Description

The mini-channel heat exchanger with micrometer or millimeter scale has the advantages on the high efficiency and high-scalability. The ratio of the heat transfer surface over the volume is larger than that of normal one. Especially, the fin inside the channel may enhance the heat transfer. In this study, to develop the high-efficiency heat exchanger, the boiling phenomena inside the fin-type mini-channel heat exchanger has been investigated. The boiling inside the mini-channel has a strong effect on the channel wall. In the previous studies, the two-phase flow inside the mini-tube or mini-channel has been analyzed with thermography and video cameras. In this study, the boiling characteristics inside the millimeter scale channel has been visualized by the high-speed camera to evaluate the efficiency of the mini-channel. (author)
