Shell-side condensation heat transfer of R134a. 1. Finned-tube performance.

Author(s) : HUBER J. B., REWERTS L. E., PATE M. B.

Summary

Shell-side condensation coefficient data are presented for the condensation of R134a on tube bundles. The tube bundles tested are five rows wide by five rows deep and have a staggered tube arrangement. The data were obtained at a refrigerant saturation temperature of 35 K over a bundle heat flux range of 18 to 40 kilowatts/m2. Average condensing heat transfer coefficients for the bundle as well as average condensing heat transfer coefficients for the middle tube of each row were calculated. Results are given.
