The heat transfer of stainless steel heat exchange tubes is heat dissipation, which is divided into conduction, convection and radiation. The following is a detailed explanation for you.
1. Conduction: Conduction transfers heat by direct contact and collision between particles with lower energy and particles with higher energy. The heat transfer between the air conditioner refrigerant and the radiator fins mainly adopts this method.
2. Convection: Convection refers to the circulation of hotter and cooler parts of a gas or liquid to even out the temperature. The fan in the air conditioner condenser drives the gas flow, which is also a form of forced convection heat dissipation.
3. Radiation: Radiation is the direct dispersion of heat energy from the heat source to the outside world. This process is related to the color, material and temperature of the heat source surface. Radiation is slow and therefore plays a limited role in dissipating heat from radiators (radiation can occur in a vacuum).
The above three heat transfer methods are not isolated. In daily heat dissipation, they occur at the same time and work together.
