Abstract:Serpentine radiant heat transfer pipes(SRHTP)are expensive and with low heat exchanged, so the heat transfer panel with capillary imbibition core (HTPCIC) is put forward. HTPCIC is composed by potassium citrate-plaster (PCP), and PCP board becomes a uniform channel of which the flow rate is 55.3% when water is cooling medium. By changing the emissivity of HTPCIC' surface(low emissivity 0.23,high emissivity 0.95)and the temperature of cold-water(7~18 ℃), at 26 ℃ (±1 ℃), heat transfer characteristics of HTPCIC are analyzed whose average pore radius is 0.015 mm and porosity is 55.3%. The experimental results show that the cooling capacity of HTPCIC meets the requirements of conventional radiation air-conditioning, and compared with SRHTP, the initial cost reduces by 80%. Moreover, regression equation of the HTPCIC heat transfer guideline is proposed: Nu=0.029Re0.21Pr2.6θ0, which provides basis for establishing a complete design theory.
