Abstract

In response to the problem of low recovery efficiency of sensible heat recovery devices, this paper designs a microchannel heat pipe heat recovery device (MHPHRD) and compares its heat transfer performance during summer use through experiments and simulation calculations. The experimental results show that the microchannel heat pipe (MHP) has strong temperature uniformity, and the temperatures of the evaporation and condensation sections are basically the same. When the inlet temperature of fresh air changes between 32°C and 40°C, the recovery efficiency of the device varies between 67%-80%, and the linear relationship between the two is obvious. The established calculation model has high accuracy, with a maximum error of 0.7% between measured and simulated values. Simulation calculations show that the cooling capacity recovery efficiency of the MHPHRD is 4%-16% higher than that of the cylindrical heat pipe heat recovery device (CHPHRD), and 24%-30% higher than that of the plate heat recovery device (PHRD). The research in this article can provide reference for the practical application of the device.
