Summary

The study presents the effect of an inclination angle from the vertical position on the airside thermal hydraulic performance for a multi-louvered fin and flat tube heat exchanger. For a heat exchanger with a louver angle of 27 °C, fin pitch of 1.4 mm and flow depth of 20 mm, a series of tests for dry and wet surface conditions were conducted for the airside Reynolds numbers of 100-300. The heat transfer coefficients and the pressure drops for the wet conditions revealed the importance of the role of condensate drainage.
