Summary

An experimental study on the airside performance of compact slit fin-and-tube heat exchangers was carried out. Test results indicated the airside performance for compact slit fin geometry is relatively independent of the number of tube rows and fin pitch. The results are quite different from previous studies concerning slit fin geometry. This may be attributable to a smaller slit breadth used in this study. Test results of the present slit fin were compared with louver fins and plain fins using various comparison methods.
