Résumé
In this paper, two heat exchangers for an HVAC application are compared. The first one is a commercially available high quality louvered fin heat exchanger, while the second heat exchanger is a prototype inhouse made using 10 PPI open-cell aluminium foam. Heat transfer and pressure drop measurements were performed in a wind tunnel with free stream air velocities between 1.1 and 3.1 m/s. The comparison between both heat exchangers is done based on a well-defined performance evaluation criterion for foam. It is revealed that the heat exchangers have a similar performance at low air velocity (1.1 m/s), while the louvered fin heat exchanger performs slightly better at higher velocities. Furthermore, the influence of the contact resistance is studied based on literature. The pressed-fit foam heat exchanger experiences very high contributions of the contact resistance (up to 70% of the overall thermal resistance), while for the louvered fin heat exchanger this contribution is much smaller (up to 11.1%), due to the presence of a fin collar. When comparing the airside convective resistance only, the foam heat exchanger performs better at high velocity range (2.5-3.1 m/s). The influence of changing the bonding technology is also assessed. It is demonstrated that a hypothetical brazed metal foam coil should have a same performance than the louvered fin unit at a low velocity range (1.1-2.5 m/s).
