CONTAMINANT FREEZE-OUT IN HEAT EXCHANGERS. VOLUME II - BASIC INVESTIGATION OF CONTAMINANT FREEZE-OUT.
Abstract
An analytical and experimental study was con ducted to investigate the principal mechanisms of water and carbon dioxide freeze-out and to develop a method for predicting the effects of contaminant freeze-out on heat exchanger per formance. This program included an analytical study of the various mechanisms by which con taminant freeze-out may occur. A test facility was constructed having the capability of simulat ing a wide range of air stream pressures, tem peratures, mass flow, and concentration condi tions. A glass-walled test heat transfer section allowed visual and photographic observations of the frost formation as well as measurements of its effects on heat transfer and pressure drop. Based on the analytical and experimental results, the importance of the various mechanisms of con taminant freeze-out has been evaluated and a method generated for predicting the effect of contaminant freeze-out on heat exchanger performance.
