Abstract

Abstract: With the development of processing technology and the emergence of new material, the excellent properties of micro-channel heat exchanger are paid great attention by people gradually.Hence the micro-channel heat exchanger is rapidly expanded into different areas, for example, aerospace engineering, HVAC, MNSR, fuel cell power submarine, etc.But there are some problems in the research and application of micro-channel heat exchanger, which limit its popularization, such as the mechanism and numerical calculation of the two-phase flow heat exchange, the distribution of refrigerant and air flow in HVAC, frosting problem in heat pump system, industry specifications of manufacture, etc.Therefore, around the above problems, this paper, in order to provide the reference for the researchers, introduces the technical characteristics of micro-channel heat exchanger by comparing with other types of heat exchangers, summarizes the research status and the application field of micro-channel heat exchanger mainly by the research results at home and abroad in recent years and points out the application prospect and the research direction in the future.

Key words: microchannels, heat exchanger, fabrication, microscale

摘要： 随着加工技术的发展、新材料的出现,微通道换热器紧凑高效的优良性能逐渐被人们所重视,并且迅速向不同领域拓展,航空航天、暖通空调、微型核反应堆、燃料电池动力潜艇等重大设备领域中也均有涉及,但在微通道换热器的研究和应用的某些方面还存在问题,如微通道内两相流动换热的机理和流动传热计算、制冷设备中制冷剂和气流的分布、热泵系统的结霜以及制造方面的行业规范等问题,这些都限制了微通道换热器的应用推广。因此,本文围绕以上问题,对比其他类型换热器,详细介绍了微通道换热器的技术特点并对其分类,结合近些年国内外研究成果重点综述了微通道换热器的研究现状和目前主要的应用领域,从科研和应用的角度归纳了微通道换热器的应用前景和日后的研究方向,以供研究人员参考。
