摘要
The development of shell-and-tube condensers for large-scale high-efficiency heat pumps requires the film condensation heat transfer characteristics when new environmentally friendly working fluids are combined with high-efficiency condenser tubes. This study experimentally determined the film-boiling heat transfer characteristics of R1234ze(E) on the outside of a horizontal high-efficiency condensing tube and compared the differences in film-boiling characteristics between R1234ze(E) and R134a on the outside of a horizontal three-dimensional finned tube. A model for the film-boiling heat transfer coefficient of R1234ze(E) on the outside of a horizontal novel three-dimensional finned tube was established. The experimental high-efficiency condensing tube used was T2 copper with an outside diameter of 19.05 mm, a height of 0.9 mm, a fin density of 1811 fpm on the bottom and 77 fins per circumference on the top. The results show that at a condensing temperature of 38℃, the heat flux increased from 23.6 kW/m2 to 46.1 kW/m2, and the film-boiling heat transfer coefficient of R1234ze(E) on the outside of the experimental three-dimensional finned tube αo,1234ze(E) decreased from 30.9 kW/(m2·K) to 26.5 kW/(m2·K) (a decrease of 14.2%); at the same heat flux (37.6 kW/m2), the condensing temperature increased from 30℃ to 46℃, αo,1234ze(E) decreased from 33.9 to 24.3 kw/(m2·k) (a decrease of 28.3%); at the same heat flux conditions, the film-boiling heat transfer coefficient of R1234ze(E) on the outside of the experimental three-dimensional finned tube could be up 22.9 to 24.5 times that of a smooth tube; at the same condensing temperature (38℃) and heat fluxes ranging from 10 to 50 kW/m2, the film-boiling heat transfer coefficient of R1234ze(E) on the outside of the experimental three-dimensional finned tube was 1.09 to 1.25 times that of R134a. A new three-dimensional horizontal external condensation heat transfer coefficient model for R1234ze(E) is established, and the deviation between the predicted value and the experimental results is ±3.0%. The research results have reference value for the development of high efficiency shell and tube condenser for heat pump by using R1234ze(E) and new three-dimensional ribbed tube. © 2025 Materials China.
