Abstract:

Bionic super-hydrophobic surface has a multiple micro-nano-binary structure (MNBS) similar to the microstructure shown on a lotus leaf. This kind of the surfaces has a contact angle of water greater than 150° and a roll angle smaller than 5°. In this paper, the frost deposition phenomena on a bionic super-hydrophobic surface were observed. The surface has a 159° contact angle and is made of many micro bumps. The formation of water droplets, the droplet freezing process, the formation of initial frost crystals and the frost layer structure on a cold bionic super-hydrophobic surface under natural convection conditions were closely observed. The frost layer structure on the super-hydrophobic surface shows remarkable differences to that on a plain copper surface: The structure is weaker, looser, thin and easy to be removed and most importantly, it is of a very special pattern, a pattern similar to chrysanthemum, a frost layer structure that has not been reported before as far as the present authors could know. The experimental results also show that the super-hydrophobic surface has a strong ability to restrain frost growth. The frost deposition on this bionic surface was delayed for 55 min compared with the plain copper surface under the conditions of a cold plate temperature -10.1°C, air temperature 18.4°C and relative humidity 40%. A theoretical analysis was also presented to explain the observed phenomena.
