Abstract

Abstract : Purpose: – CaCO3 solution was chosen as the research environment in boiling pool heat transfer system using an automatic data collection system and scaling experiments. In this experiment, different concentrations of solution were made and ultrasonic excitation was applied under differing conditions of salt concentration and heat flux, such that the ultrasonics could reduce scale accumulation on the metal surface. The effectiveness of ultrasonics in inhabiting CaCO3 scale formation was evaluated. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach: – Different concentration solution was made. Under the condition of different concentration and heat flux, the ultrasonic was introduced, so that it can reduce the scale accumulation on the metal surface. Ultrasonic function in inhabiting CaCO3 scale can be evaluated. Findings: – The results showed that the ultrasonic not only enhanced the heat transfer rate under boiling conditions but also prevented the accumulation of the scale on the metal surface. Originality/value: – The ultrasonic can enhance the heat transfer on the heater surface both in distilled water and scaled solution. In the earlier period, the heat transfer coefficient increases with the heat flux increases.
