An experimental study of return bend effects on pressure drop and void fraction.

Author(s) : TRAN C. C., GUPTA S., CHATO J. C., et al.

Summary

Both a low pressure refrigerant, R134a, and a high pressure refrigerant, R410A, were used to test the return bends under horizontal, upward, and downward orientations. Negligible effects on void fraction were measured. Pressure drop data showed some trends due to changes in quality, refrigerant, and orientation.
