Summary

The present study experimentally investigated the condensation heat transfer characteristics, condensate flow modes, and condensate flooding angles of R245fa on horizontal microscopic-grooved tubes. Microscopic-grooved tubes with tube diameters of approximately 19 mm at the fin tip were used as the test tubes. This experiment were observed that three condensate flow modes — droplet mode, droplet-column mode, and column mode. The transition film Reynolds number of the condensate flow mode of the low-finned tubes was different from that of the condensate flow mode of the microscopic-grooved tubes. The condensation heat transfer characteristics of the low-finned and microscopic-grooved tubes were experimentally investigated to clarify the effects of fin geometries on the condensate flow mode, condensate flooding angle and condensation heat transfer.
