Summary

EVAPORATIVE COOLING HAS PROVED TO BE THE UTMOST AIR-SIDE HEAT TRANSFER AUGMENTATION. THIS KIND OF AUGMENTATION RESULTS IN A LOWERING OF THE CONDENSING TEMPERATURE, EVEN BELOW AMBIENT LEVELS. THE COMBINED HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER PROCESSES ARE VERY COMPLEX, DUE TO THE VAST NUMBERS OF PARAMETERS WHICH MUST BE CONSIDERED, BUT AN ANALYSIS CAN BE PERFORMED WHERE NONE OF THE ASSUMPTIONS ORIGINALLY USED BY MERKEL ARE MADE. IT IS DEMONSTRATED BY EXPERIMENTS THAT PLATE-FIN TUBE AND BARE TUBE CONDENSER PERFORMANCES CAN BE PREDICTED RELIABLY.
