자동차용 에어컨의 마이크로채널 응축기의 수치적 모델 개발 = Numerical Model Development of a Microchannel Condenser for Mobile Air-Conditioning Systems

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper presents the numerical model development of a microchannel heat exchanger in mobile air-conditioning and heat pump applications. The model has been developed based on the effectiveness-NTU method using a segment-by-segment modeling approach. State-of-art correlations are used for refrigerant- and air-side heat transfer coefficients and pressure drops. The calculated heat condenser capacities are in good agreement with experimental data, with an average difference of 1.86%. The current model can be used for microchannel condenser simulations under various operating conditions. It is anticipated to improve productivity in designing and optimizing microchannel heat exchangers with folded louver fin geometry.
