Experimental study on the heat transfer performance of a zeotropic refrigerant mixture in horizontal tubes.
Author(s) : UCHIDA M., ITOH M., SHIKAZONO N., KUDOH M.
Summary
The condensation and evaporation heat transfer performance of a zeotropic refrigerant mixture (R32-R125-R134a) inside horizontal tubes with smooth, grooved or cross-grooved inner surfaces was investigated experimentally. The cross-grooved tube showed the highest heat transfer coefficient for both condensation and evaporation with the zeotropic mixture. Its heat transfer coefficient was nearly three times as high as that of the smooth tube, and 20 to 40% higher than that of the grooved tube. Thus, the cross-grooved tube appears suitable for practical use in heat exchangers using zeotropic mixture.
