An assessment of the state of the art, and potential design improvements, for flat-tube heat exchangers in air conditioning and refrigeration applications: Phase 1. Final report.
Author(s) : JACOBI A. M., PARK Y., TAFTI D., et al.
Type of monograph: Report
Summary
This report was prepared as an account of work sponsored by ARTI under its "HVAC&R Research for the 21st Century Program". Its objective is to evaluate the air-side heat transfer and pressure-drop performance of serpentine-fin, flat-tube heat exchangers. It includes a literature review, a preliminary comparison of flat-tube to round-tube performance, a computational fluid dynamic study of flow through the heat exchangers and complementary modelling to predict the performance of flat-tube designs over a wide range of conditions. Recommendations are provided for a new experimental study to provide performance data for dry, wet, and frosted-surface conditions.
