Research on Manufacturing Technology and Heat Transfer Characteristics of Sintered Porous Surface Tubes

Abstract:

A new process for manufacturing sintered porous surface tube has been developed. By using this technology, three kinds of sintered porous surface tubes were fabricated, which base material was carbon steel and the sintered layer was bronze powder. And their boiling heat transfer characteristics were investigated experimentally. The experimental results indicated that the boiling heat transfers coefficient and the heat flux of these porous surfaces tubes were increased by 8~14 times and 5~8 times respectively compared with the smooth one. Finally, a new high flux heat exchanger was designed and applied instead of conventional one in a refinery.
