Measurement of frost characteristics on heat exchanger fins. 1. Test facility and instrumentation. 2. Data and analysis.

Author(s) : THOMAS L., CHEN H., BESANT R. W.

Summary

Part 1 of the paper described the frost growth test facility and instrumentation. In part 2, results are presented for typical operating conditions with frost growth on heat exchanger fins. Typical data are presented for frost height distributions on fins, increase in pressure loss for airflow through a finned test section, frost mass accumulation on fins, and heat rate. Special attention is given to the uncertainty in each of these measurements and calculations.
