Introduction to multi-path finsand-
Tube heat exchanger (MPHX)
Widely used for refrigeration or air-
Adjusting the application, the refrigerant distribution in the path is very important for the performance of the heat exchanger.
Inappropriate refrigerant distribution in the evaporator may result in drying
Outside the circuit, it eventually leads to poor heat transfer and wastes the heat transfer area, while the inappropriate cooling distribution in the condenser may result in an area of reduced heat transfer due to high liquid load.
In addition, inappropriate refrigerant distribution may result in a high temperature difference between adjacent tubes, resulting in reverse heat conduction through the fins and reducing the performance of the heat exchanger (Romero-Mendez et al. 1997; Wang etal. 1999).
In order to obtain a suitable refrigerant distribution, the method of changing the mode of the refrigerant circuit (Romero-Mendez etal. 1997; Wang et al. 1999; Liang et al. 2000, 2001)
And change the geometry of the thermal distributor (Jiao et al. 2003)have been used.
In addition to these two methods, adding a capillary tube to the path is an effective way to regulate the distribution of refrigerant in different paths of MPHX, which is low cost, especially for pair-guided regulation
Therefore, the simulation study of MPHX should include the study of flow control using a capillary tube.
Many models and algorithms of MPHX are proposed, but they ignore the refrigerant distribution between paths (
Martins and Parris 1993Jia et al. 1999;
Judge and Radermacher 1997; Lee et al. 2003)
Or just consider the refrigerant distribution between paths without a capillary (Domanski 1991;
Li and Domanski 1997; Bensafiet al. 1997; Liang et al. 2001).
We put forward a general stability. statemodel (GSSM)
For MPHX with any refrigerant loop (Liu et al. 2004)
In order to simultaneously evaluate the influence of the distribution of refrigeration between paths in any refrigerant circuit, with continuous fins, air-
Sidemaldistribution, etc.
, But it still does not consider the cold storage distribution between the MPHX paths using a capillary for flow control.
As for the capillary, the mathematical model of a single capillary used as a throttling device in refrigeration or air
The development of air conditioning system is relatively perfect, such as Zhang and Ding (2004)
, Bansal and Rupasinghe (1996)
Bit and bit (1996), Chung(1998), Garcia-
Valladares, etc. (2002), etc.
But the model on TV
Tube flow or MPHX using a capillary tube for flow control is not available.
However, if we extend GSSM directly to MPHX for flow control using a capillary tube, simply add a model of a single catheter, due to the blocking properties of the catheter, an incorrect result or an abnormal termination of the simulation process may occur.
Therefore, measures must be taken to extend GSSM toMPHX using a capillary tube for flow control.
The main difficulty in extending the GSSM of MPHX to GSSM using a capillary for flow control is to solve the refrigeration distribution between the paths containing the capillary.
GSSM solves the refrigerant distribution between paths by using iterative calculations.
Since the capillary has a blocking property, flow control using a capillary is used, additional constraints on the maximum refrigerant mass flow rate are introduced in the refrigerant distribution equation of MPHX.
The simulation process may terminate abnormally or output results that are obviously incorrect, if during the iteration the assumed value of the flow of refrigerant in one capillary is greater than the maximum value.
Therefore, in the process of solving the equation of cold storage distribution between MPHX paths using capillary flow control, the selection properties of capillary should be considered at the same time.
The purpose of this paper is to extend GSSM to MPHX using capillary tubes for flow control.
This paper first gives a description of the simulation object and an analysis of the flow control problem of applying GSSM directly to MPHX using a capillary tube, and then gives an extended GSSM.
Finally, the experimental verification and conclusion are given.
Description of the simulation object considered in this paper is MPHX using a capillary tube for flow control.
The capillary can be added on several or all of the inlet paths of the MPHX, and the MPHX can have refrigerant paths of any divergence or convergence.
All the geometric parameters of the simulated object and the inlet state of bothrefrigerant and air are known.
The goal of the simulation is to obtain the general performance of the simulation object and the temperature and air state of each part of the simulation object.
All paths of the simulated object are simply divided into two types--the main path (MP)
Subpath (SP)--
To describe the distribution of refrigerant conveniently.
MP refers to a set of paths with the same inlet tube and the same outlet tube, and theSP refers to a subpath in a MP.
All MPs in MPHXare are encoded [MP. sub. i]([M. sub. r,out], [p. sub. r,out],[h. sub. r,out], and [M. sub. r,1j](

20%, and the deviation of the single capillary model is within [range]+or -]15%.
Therefore, this paper does not verify the two models, only verifies the effect of the integrated model and algorithm in the extended GSSM.
In order to verify the extended GSSM of MPHX using capillary tubes for flow control, an experimental platform was set up and a series of experiments were designed and carried out.

Table 3 lists the calculated mass flow rate of refrigerant in each of the four test cases to demonstrate the difference between equal distribution cases modeled only for Heat Exchangers, and uneven conditions of heat exchangers using capillary tubes for flow control.
In four test cases, case 1 does not use test tubes, case 2 and case 3 use different capillary tubes on different paths, and the same total mass flow rate is the same as the case 1 and case 4. The refrigerant uses the same capillary as the case 3, and the total mass flow ratio of the refrigerant is 3.
In Table 3, the calculation results of Case 1 show that the refrigerant distribution in the heat exchanger is equal without using a capillary tube.
The calculation results of case 2 and case 3 show that changing the length or inner diameter of the capillary on different paths can control the refrigerant distribution between paths, the degree of uneven distribution of refrigerant decreases with the increase of capillary inner diameter.
The calculation results of case 3 and case 4 show that the degree of poor distribution of refrigerant increases with the increase of total mass flow of refrigerant.
Therefore, engineering designers can flexibly use extended GSSM to control the refrigerant distribution in MPHX by using different kinds of capillary tubes by considering the influence of capillary tubes on the distribution of refrigerant in the path.
Conclusion of solving heat equation by introducing two auxiliary equations
GSSM developed before (Liu et al. 2004)
For MPHX without capillary tubes, an improved MPHX model and algorithm for flow control using capillary tubes were developed.
The models and algorithms developed are suitable not only for MPHX capillary tubes for flow control, but also for MPHX without capillary tubes.
An experimental platform was established and a series of experiments were carried out on the heat transfer and pressure drop properties of the capillary heat exchanger used for flow control to evaluate the model and algorithm developed.
The evaluation results show that the difference between the calculated cooling capacity and the experimental cooling capacity is less [+ or -]
5%, while the difference between calculated refrigerants
The ratio of side pressure drop to experiment [small]+ or -]15%.
Using different capillary tubes on different paths helps to control the refrigerant distribution between MPHX paths.
This study theoretically helps to model MPHX using capillary tubes for flow control and other multi-online systems such as multi-Online home refrigeration systems.
