Heat transfer of R134a in single-tube spray evaporation including lubricant effects and enhanced surface results.

Summary

Experimental tests were conducted in order to evaluate the average wall heat transfer coefficients for seven different commercially available tubes. A comparison of the results for all of the tubes showed that the enhanced condensation surfaces performed better than the enhanced boiling surfaces. Small concentrations of a polyol-ester lubricant cause a foaming effect that increases the heat transfer performance.
