An assessment of refrigerant heat transfer, pressure drop, and void fraction effects in microfin tubes.

Author(s) : NEWELL T. A., SHAH R. K.

Type of article: Article

Summary

This review focuses on the performance of microfin tubes in refrigeration systems and details information known about microfin tube performance as well as information that is not yet investigated. Generally, microfins enhance heat transfer by an amount that is similar or greater than the amount of surface area added to the internal wall surface. Pressure drop does not tend to increase significantly. Oil generally degrades heat transfer and increases pressure drop.
