摘要:
Coating compositions are provided that eject droplets of condensed fluid from a surface. The coatings include a nanostructured coating layer and in some embodiments, also include a hydrophobic layer deposited thereon. The coating materials eject droplets from the surface in the presence of non-condensing gases such as air and may be deployed under conditions of supersaturation of the condensed fluid to be ejected. A heat exchanger design utilizing the coating is described herein.

An air-temperature conditioning system includes a frost resistant heat exchanger that has an exterior heat transfer surface covered by a hydrophobic coating. An anti-frost device of the air-temperature conditioning system is constructed and arranged to mitigate frost accumulation on the heat exchanger by leveraging characteristics of the hydrophobic coating.

The present disclosure relates to a heat transfer tube having rare-earth oxide deposited on a surface thereof and a method for manufacturing the same, in which the rare-earth oxide can be deposited on the surface of the heat transfer tube to implement a superhydrophobic surface even under the high temperature environment and a plurality of assembled heat transfer tubes can be coated by coating a complex shape by depositing rare-earth oxide using a method for dipping a surface of the heat transfer tube and coating the same, thereby reducing or preventing the heat transfer tubes from being damaged during the assembling of the heat transfer tubes after the coating.
摘要:
The present application discloses a thermal ground plane that is charged by laser welding a cover on an aperture. Prior to sealing, the thermal ground plane is filled with a quantity of a working fluid, and the device is heated until the working fluid is boiling in the cavity. Accordingly, the cavity is filled with the working fluid and with a saturated vapor of the working fluid. When the saturated vapor has displaced other gases, the cavity is laser welded shut.
摘要:
Disclosed herein is a self-cleaning evaporation type humidification apparatus. The self-cleaning humidification apparatus is a floating drop evaporation type humidification apparatus of a new concept using a super hydrophobic surface, which provides safe humidification and does not require maintenance and repair, such as cleaning, by naturally or forcedly evaporating floating drops through control of the floating drops in the super hydrophobic surface based on the self-cleaning function, virus reproduction inhibition function, and water-repellant function of the super hydrophobic surface.

Coatings for enhancing performance of materials surfaces, methods of producing the coating and coated substrates, and coated condensers are disclosed herein. More particularly, exemplary embodiments provide chemical coating materials useful for coating condenser components.
摘要:
Presented herein are articles and methods featuring substrates with thin, uniform polymeric films grafted (e.g., covalently bonded) thereupon. The resulting coating provides significant reductions in thermal resistance, drop shedding size, and degradation rate during dropwise condensation of steam compared to existing coatings. Surfaces that promote dropwise shedding of low-surface tension condensates, such as liquid hydrocarbons, are also demonstrated herein.

摘要:
A method of manufacturing a heat transfer system is provided that includes preparing a heat conducting array by perforating at least a portion of the heat conducting array, placing the heat conducting array around foam elements, and forming the structural assembly under heat and pressure. A material of the foam elements extends through the perforated portion of the heat conducting array during the forming step.
摘要:
A heat exchanger includes a refrigerant pipe through which a refrigerant flows, and a plurality of fins coupled to an outer circumference surface of the refrigerant pipe, wherein each fin includes a first region disposed upstream with respect to an air flow direction, and a second region which forms a boundary with the first region and is disposed downstream with respect to the air flow direction, and wherein the first region and the second region have different surface energies in order to prevent formation of condensation water on the fin.
