The stainless steel heat exchange tube is one of the elements used in the heat exchanger, which is used for heat transfer between two media. Therefore, Mingxin Stainless Steel will introduce the heat transfer method of stainless steel heat exchange tubes for you below.
There are three forms of heat transfer in stainless steel heat exchange tubes: conduction, convection, and radiation.
Conduction: Heat transfer between particles with lower energy and particles with higher energy through direct contact and collision. This is a common form of heat transfer, which is mainly used for heat transfer between the air-conditioning refrigerant and the cooling fins.
Convection: The hotter part and the colder part of the gas and liquid are circulated and rotated to homogenize the temperature and keep the temperature of the two parts in balance. The flow of gas driven by the fan in the air conditioner condenser also belongs to the “forced heat convection” heat dissipation method.
Radiation: Refers to the radiation of heat energy from a heat source directly to the outside world. This process is related to the surface color, material and temperature of the heat source. The radiation speed is relatively slow, so it plays a very limited role in the heat dissipation of the radiator (radiation energy is carried out in a vacuum)
Everyone should know that the above three heat transfer methods are not carried out independently. In daily heat transfer, they occur at the same time and work together.
