TRL-4
The development is intended for use as heat transfer elements in gas-gas heat exchangers, as well as in energy-saving equipment, in particular heat exchangers-utilizers of heat of ventilation air, flue gases and other gaseous heat emissions.
Market and Economic Attractiveness
- There are no offers of heat exchangers-utilizers of thermosyphons on the Ukrainian market. The introduction of the developed thermosyphons into such devices will significantly improve their characteristics. This, together with the proven technology for making ribbed flat-oval thermosyphons, makes this development attractive for market launch.
Main Advantages (Strengths) of the Device
The developed thermosyphons have:
- he developed thermosyphons have:
- 35… 92% lower thermal resistance and 29… 46% higher transmitted heat flux than analogues;
- high degree of development of the outer surface;
- virtually perfect thermal contact between the fins and the carrier tube;
- high corrosion resistance;
- simple manufacturing technology;
- wide operating range of thermal power.
Packages from the developed thermosyphons have:
- high compactness;
- 2.0… 2.5 times less aerodynamic drag than samples from round ribbed pipes.
Main Characteristics
- The main characteristics of the development meet the technological requirements of rock processing for a particular well.
| Transfer of thermal energy by one thermosyphon | to 200… 220 W |
