ABSTRACT

Abstract: In this paper, the condensation heat transfer characteristics of light tubes and spiral finned tubes are studied by numerical analysis. The condensation characteristics of vertical spiral finned tube containing non-condensing gas vapor were explored, and the distribution of steam velocity, pressure and temperature near the wall of the heat transfer tube was analyzed. The enhanced heat transfer method of non-condensing gas vapor was obtained, which provided a theoretical basis for the enhanced heat transfer of steam condensation. The results show that the spiral finned tube can increase the heat exchange performance as high as 40%. The spiral fin can effectively increase the heat exchange area and reduce the thickness of the liquid film, which can impressively enhance the heat transfer performance.
