予冷ターボジェットエンジンにおけるジェット噴射を用いた熱交換器の除霜

抄録

An innovative defrosting method for precooled turbojet engines are presented, and validated in this study using experimental methods. High speed gas jet was impinged on the cooling tubes of a heat exchanger for the purpose of defrosting. The coolant of the heat exchanger was liquid nitrogen, and whose temperature was 83K. The air flow speed, the air temperature and the air humidity were 1.0m/s, 23^ºC and 59%, respectively. The effects of the jet duration, jet intervals and humidity of the jet gas on the heat exchange were assessed. As a result, we found that the presenting defrosting method is valid for the defrosting of the precooler.
