Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)

Modification of surfaces to enable dropwise condensation is a promising approach for achieving high condensation rates. In this work, we present an experimental study on condensation of water on copper surfaces coated with an ultrathin, 5 nm - 10 nm thick polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) layer. This hydrophobic coating possesses a very low thermal resistance, which in combination with copper substrate enables achieving high condensation rates in heat transfer applications. The PDMS-coated copper substrates have been fabricated with a newly developed method, which involves turning, sanding, polishing, oxidation, and polymer coating steps. The measured static contact angle was 110°, and a the contact angle hysteresis was 2°. The achieved very low hysteresis is advantageous for promoting dropwise condensation. The surface showed no ageing effects during 100 repetitions of advancing and receding contact angle (ARCA) measurements. Condensation heat transfer on uncoated and PDMS-coated copper surfaces surfaces has been studied experimentally in a saturated water vapor atmosphere at 60°C. An enhancement factor for heat flux and heat transfer coefficient of up to 1.6 was found on PDMS-coated copper surfaces compared to uncoated surfaces, which decreased to 1.1 on second and third day of condensation operation. Images of the condensation surface were recorded while conducting condensation experiments and post processed to evaluate drop departure diameter and frequency of drop sweeping events. It has been shown that the behavior of the heat transfer coefficient correlates with the frequency of the sweeping events.
