Summary

Heat exchanger geometry would not only include details pertaining to the heat exchanger finned tubes, but also the orientation of the heat exchanger finned surfaces with respect to the inlet air flow as well as to the inlet air angle of incidence on the heat exchanger. An equation based on the experimental results is formulated to calculate the heat exchanger inlet air flow losses. It is also shown that the geometric details of the heat exchanger finned tubes or heat exchanger core used in the construction of the heat exchanger could have a pronounced effect on the inlet air flow losses.
