Summary

The effect of inlet relative humidity on the heat transfer performance is small. For uncoated surfaces, the effect of inlet relative humidity has a pronounced effect on pressure drops due likely to the condensate flow pattern along the fin surface. The heat transfer performance for the hydrophilic coating surface is lower than the corresponding uncoated surface tested at the same wet condition.
