Summary

A summary of a comprehensive experimental study on flow boiling heat transfer is presented for five refrigerants (R134a, R123, R402A, R404A, R502) evaporating inside plain, horizontal, copper tube test sections. It was proven that the heat flux level at the dryout point at the top of the tube in annular flow has a very significant downstream effect on heat transfer coefficients in the annular flow regime with partial dryout.
