Summary

THE HEAT TRANSFER AND PRESSURE DROP PERFORMANCE OF TWO TYPES OF FINNED TUBES USED IN THE AIR CONDITIONING INDUSTRY ARE REPORTED FOR 14 DIFFERENT BUNDLE CONFIGURATIONS. 12 CONTAINED A NEW TYPE OF FINNED TUBE CALLED K-Y AND 2 A MORE CONVENTIONAL PIN FIN. A COMPARISON OF THE PERFORMANCE OF THESE FINNED TUBES WITH NEGATIVE FIN-TIP CLEARANCE IS MADE WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF TYPICAL AIR-COOLED HEAT EXCHANGER TUBES. THE HEAT TRANSFERRED AND THE PRESSURE DROP ARE SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING CONFIGURATIONS. THE VERY HIGH HEAT TRANSFER PERFORMANCE IS MORE THE RESULT OF THE NEGATIVE FIN-TIP CLEARANCE THAN THE FIN SHAPE OR TYPE.
