Summary

Experiments reveal that glazed frost, whose density and thermal conductivity are larger than that of rough frost, prevails in rotary exchangers operating in cold climates. A mathematical model for the prediction of the thermal behaviour of the exchanger is presented. The model is validated with experimental data and employed to conduct a parametric study.
