Summary

Integral fin tubes are currently used in the condensers of refrigeration, air conditioning and process industries especially where low surface tension fluids are used. In the last few decades, several three dimensional (3D) enhanced surfaces were developed for condensation heat exchangers. Also, several improvements were made to the standard integral finned tubes resulting in a performance comparable to that of 3D enhanced surfaces. A review of the experimental and theoretical work used to augment the performance of integral finned tubes is presented in the paper.
