Study of Impact of Gas Cooler Cooling Circuit on Heat Transfer Performance

Abstract:

Experimental study on the structure and characteristics of cooling circuit of full-aluminum parallel flow gas cooler. The experimental tests on the built cell-type and ternary GCMCPF are conducted. In the heat transfer processes of the cooler with different circuit structures, the impact of CO2 refrigerant side flow resistance and the mass flow on the heat transfer performance of gas cooler is measured. The results show that the ternary type GCMCPF structure can enhance the heat transfer for CO2 fluid at the weak heat transfer area in the cell-type GCMCPF. Within a certain range of mass flow, the former heat transfer is 1.5 times the later one, and the structural sizes of GCMCPF can be reduced in the same requirements for heat transfer.
