Experiment and Simulation on Heat Transfer Efficiency of Double pipe Heat Exchanger for River Water source Heat Pump

The river water source heat pump system is an important technique to utilize renewable energy in Chongqing and heat exchanger can influence overall energy efficiency of system obviously. A test was carried out to study the heat transfer efficiency of double pipe heat exchanger with semicircular reentrant tube. It was found that the heat transfer efficiency would increase while curvature of semicircular reentrant tube rose. And when the ratio of R to r was five, heat transfer efficiency for semicircular reentrant tube would be increased 2.5% than that of straight double pipe heat exchanger. Flow, temperature field and heat transfer process of semicircular reentrant tube were simulated with computational fluid dynamics(CFD) tool to study the heat transfer mechanism. The modified RNG κ ε Turbulence Model was adopted to ensure the accuracy of simulation analysis under the situation of rotary flow and great curvature. Thus, it was indicated that there was obvious secondary flow vertex in reentrant tube. And disturbance of vertex on boundary layer was the main reason for which heat transfer efficiency of double pipe heat exchanger would increase as curvature of semi toroidal reentrant tube rose. Based on the experiment and simulation, the recommended curvature for reentrant tube was proposed with the consideration of sediment in river water and heat transfer efficiency of heat exchanger.

Thermal Dynamic Analysis of Buried Hent Exchanger in Ground-source Heat Pump System in Cold Region

In order to solve the frost-heaving safety problems of buried heat exchanger hydronic in ground-source heat pump, a mathematics mode1 and its contro1 equation were put forward according to heat transfer, filtration theory and mechanics of frozen soil, which is the couplings problem of temperature field, hydronic field and stress field. The temperature field, frost heaving displacement and stress distribution of ground-source heat pump in Daqing oilfield were simulated with finite elements method. The contrast and analyses are carried out according to the different soil depth, the different soil thermal conductivity in backfilled areas, the different spacing of tube foot. The results showed that the least temperature and heat affected zone in soil increases gradually with operating time.

When the soil temperature reaches the phase temperature, soil volume increases in size, and then buried tube deforms. When soil temperature exceeds between -0.75℃ and -0.30℃, buried tube doesnt deform.

Characteristics of smoke flow and fire spread in a patio space of a high-rise building were studied to investigate their influences on fire compartment and safety evacuation. Fire development model was established and fire scenarios were designed to simulate fire and smoke spread by CFD software numerically based on concepts of fire performance-based design in a high-rise building with double patio space, whose height are 74. 65 m and 55. 95 m, respectively. Simulation results show that in all fire scenarios, performance targets for safety evacuation for people in each floor was satisfied, if smoke was extracted naturally using the patio space. Hang walls mounted in corridors around the patio space prevent smoke flowing out smoothly, shorten the coming of the risk time and increase fire danger. Using chimney effect, it is preferred to adopt natural smoke exhaust method in a high rise building with patio space.
