Summary

ATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO OPTIMISE EVEN THE OUTER APPEARANCE OF THE PIPE SURFACE ENLARGED BY FINS SO AS TO ACHIEVE A MAXIMUM TRANSFER RATE AT A POSSIBLY LOW PRESSURE LOSS. A DESCRIPTION IS GIVEN OF A FIELD-ORIENTED STUDY OF MICROSTRUCTURES OF THIS HEAT EXCHANGER, ESPECIALLY OF PARTICULAR DESIGNS OF FINS LIKE EMBOSSMENTS, PUNCH-OUTS AND SLOTS. THE TEST UNITS WERE COPPER/ALUMINIUM HEAT EXCHANGERS WITH STAGGERED PIPE ARRANGEMENT AND 2 MM FIN SPACING. THE HIGHEST HEAT TRANSFER RATES WERE OBTAINED WITH SLOTTED AND WAVY FINS.
