Summary

The paper presents the results of tests performed on condensation of R134a, R407C and R404A in smooth or corrugated pipes, with electrohydrodynamic enhancement of heat transfer coefficients. The coefficients are enhanced between 4- and 18-fold. Enhancement of pressure drop was also investigated.
