摘要:
A method of regenerating a hydrophobic coating 62 on a heat exchanger 34 includes exposing the hydrophobic coating 62 to a temperature within a range of about fifty to one-hundred-and-fifty degrees Celsius. The heat exchanger 34 may further be an evaporator 34 used in a refrigeration system 20 wherein a plurality of fins 54 of the evaporator 34 coated with the hydrophobic coating 62 is heated. Through heating, a molecular structure of the hydrophobic coating 62 may be reorganized thus regenerating anti-frost features attributed by the hydrophobic coating 62.

A refrigeration cycle apparatus includes a compressor 21, a condenser such as an indoor heat exchanger 22, first expansion means 24, and an evaporator such as an outdoor heat exchanger 25 that are connected by refrigerant pipes to form a refrigeration cycle. The evaporator is a heat exchanger including a plurality of plate-like heat transfer fins 41 arranged in parallel and subjected to water slip or water repellent treatment, and a heat transfer tube 46 provided in contact with the plurality of heat transfer fins 41 such that refrigerant flows therein. The refrigeration cycle apparatus further includes a drain pan 31 disposed below the evaporator, an evaporator fan for producing an air current flowing to the evaporator, such as an outdoor fan 26, and a heating unit 51 disposed at a position below the heat transfer fins 41 and on a leeward side of the heat transfer fins 41.

A heat pump is provided. The heat pump may include an outdoor heat exchanger that performs a heat exchange operation between refrigerant and outdoor air. The outdoor heat exchanger may include a refrigerant tube that guides refrigerant therethrough, and one or more fins coupled to the refrigerant tube. One face of each of the fins may be coated with a water repellent coating material and another face thereof may be coated with a hydrophilic coating material. An area coated with the water repellent coating material may be greater than an area coated with the hydrophilic coating material.

A heat pump is provided. The heat pump that may include an outdoor heat exchanger, in which a refrigerant may be condensed by being heat-exchanged with outdoor air in a cooling operation, and evaporated by being heat-exchanged with the outdoor air in a heating operation, and an outdoor fan that allows the outdoor air to be moved to the outdoor heat exchanger. The outdoor heat exchanger may include a front-row heat exchange device, through which the outdoor air moved by the outdoor fan may pass, and a rear-row heat exchange device, through which the outdoor air having passed through the front-row heat exchange device may pass; a water-repellent coating layer formed on a surface of the front-row heat exchange device, which the outdoor air contacts; and a hydrophilic coating layer formed on a surface of the rear-row heat exchange device, which the outdoor air contacts. Accordingly, the outdoor heat exchanger may have a longer frost formation time in comparison to a hydrophilic coated double-row heat exchanger, and a high heat exchange performance and lower pressure loss in comparison to a water-repellent coated heat exchanger.

The invention relates to a heat exchange device (D) with confined convective boiling, comprising: a channel (2) in a substrate that is in contact with an element (T) to be cooled, in which channel a polar fluid flows from an upstream end (2.1) to a downstream end (2.2); means for moving the fluid by means of convection in the channel (2) in a particular direction of flow; and a device (8) for moving the fluid by means of electrowetting in the channel (2), said device being located between the channel (2) and the element (T) to be cooled. The channel (2) comprises an internal surface (9) having a low wettability in relation to the polar fluid. In addition, the electrowetting-based movement means comprise a succession of electrodes (E1, E2, E3) and control means for selectively applying a potential to the electrodes (E1, E2, E3), such that an electrostatic force gradient is applied to the fluid in the direction of flow.
