A COMPUTER MODEL FOR AIR-COOLED REFRIGERANT CONDENSERS WITH SPECIFIED REFRIGERANT CIRCUITING.

Author(s) : ELLISON R. D.

Summary

THE MODEL IS INTENDED FOR USE IN DETAILED DESIGN ANALYSES OR IN SIMULATION OF THE PERFORMANCE OF EXISTING HEAT EXCHANGERS THAT HAVE COMPLEX REFRIGERANT CIRCUITING OR UNUSUAL AIR-SIDE GEOMETRIES. IT RELIES ON A TUBE-BY-TUBE COMPUTATIONAL APPROACH CALCULATING THE THERMAL AND FLUID-FLOW PERFORMANCE OF EACH TUBE IN THE HEAT EXCHANGER INDIVIDUALLY, USING LOCAL TEMPERATURES AND HEAT TRANSFER COEFFICIENTS. THE REFRIGERANT CIRCUITING MUST BE SPECIFIED. AIR-SIDE HEAT EXCHANGE CORRELATIONS MAY BE SPECIFIED SO THAT VARIOUS SURFACE GEOMETRIES CAN BE INVESTIGATED.
