Stainless steel heat exchange tubes have three ways to dissipate heat, namely convection, radiation and conduction. Let’s talk about how these three methods transfer heat in detail.
1. Convection: This means that the hotter and colder parts of the gas or liquid are circulated to make the temperature uniform. For example, the flow of gas driven by the fan in the air conditioner condenser also belongs to the “forced convection” heat dissipation method.
2. Radiation: Radiation is to radiate heat energy directly from the heat source to the outside. This process is related to the color, material and temperature of the surface of the heat source, but the speed of radiation is relatively slow, so it plays a very limited role in the heat dissipation of the radiator (radiation energy in vacuum)
3. Conduction: refers to the way of transferring energy by direct contact and collision between particles with lower energy and particles with higher energy. The heat transfer between air-conditioning refrigerant and cooling fins is the main method, which is also common. A way to dissipate heat.
What needs to be known is that the above three heat dissipation methods are not carried out independently, but are carried out simultaneously and work together in daily heat dissipation.
