Type of article: Article, Review

Summary

Heat transfer characteristics and thermal performance enhancements of heat exchangers for thermal systems under frosting, defrosting, and dry/wet operating conditions have been investigated extensively over the years. The complex physical phenomena of heat exchangers under different operating conditions and effects on thermal performance have been analyzed and evaluated by theoretical, numerical and experimental methods. Although this article takes into consideration both earlier and recent research, the focus was on research carried out in the last decade. In this article, the first section deals with the reviews of heat transfer of heat exchangers operating under frosting conditions, while subsequent sections survey the heat transfer of heat exchangers operating under defrosting and wet/dry conditions. Finally, heat transfer enhancement of heat exchangers were summarized.
