Stainless steel heat exchange tubes are an essential component of heat exchangers. They are used for heat exchange between two media. It is relatively common nowadays. What I want to share with you in this article today is about the three types of transfer of stainless steel heat exchange tubes. form of heat.
The three forms of heat transfer of stainless steel heat exchange tubes include conduction, radiation and convection, which are described in detail below:
Type 1: conduction
Heat is transferred by direct contact between particles with higher energy and particles with lower energy. This is a common form of heat transfer, and the heat transfer between the air-conditioning refrigerant and the cooling fins is mainly in this form.
Type 2: Radiation
Dissipate thermal energy directly from the heat source. This process is related to the color, material, and temperature of the surface of the heat source, and the radiation speed is relatively slow, so the effect of transferring heat is limited (radiation can be carried out in a vacuum)
Type 3: Convection
Refers to the hotter and cooler parts of a gas or liquid, which are homogenized by rotating cycles. The air flow driven by the fan in the air conditioner condenser is also a forced heat convection transfer method.
These three forms of heat transfer are carried out simultaneously and work together, not independently.
