Type of article: Article

Summary

WIND CONVECTORS ARE AN ALTERNATIVE AIR SOURCE EVAPORATOR SYSTEM FOR HEAT PUMPS. THE OBJECTIVES OF THIS PAPER ARE TO STUDY THE HEAT TRANSFER PROCESSES TO WIND CONVECTORS WHEN, FORCED CONVECTION CONDITIONS DUE TO WIND PREVAIL, NO FROST IS PRESENT ON THE WIND CONVECTOR SURFACES, LAMINAR BRINE FLOW CONDITIONS ARE PRESENT, AND RAINFALL IS ABSENT, TO DEVELOP MATHEMATICAL MODELS DESCRIBING THESE HEAT TRANSFER PROCESSES, TO INTEGRATE THESE MODELS IN AN OVERALL WIND CONVECTOR HEAT TRANSFER MODEL AND COMPUTER SIMULATION PROGRAM, TO COMPARE THE MODEL WITH EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS, AND BY USING THE VALIDATED MODEL, CARRY OUT SENSITIVITY STUDIES TO EXAMINE THE IMPORTANT HEAT TRANSFER MECHANISMS TO WIND CONVECTORS.
