Air-side performance of flat-tube louver-fin heat exchangers under wet conditions: wet-surface multipliers for Corburt j- and f-factors.

Author(s) : PARK Y. G., JACOBI A. M.

Summary

Empirical correlations for the air-side thermal-hydraulic performance of flat-tube, louver-fin heat exchangers under wet conditions are developed in terms of wet-surface multipliers. Experimental database of dry and wet air-side performance has been compiled from related works in the literature. Important design parameters are identified and used in the correlations. The benefits of wet-surface multipliers in comparison to independent wet j- and f-factor correlations are discussed. An alternative data modelling approach is briefly introduced and compared with the conventional correlations.
