Résumé

This report was prepared as an account of work sponsored by ARTI under its "HVAC&R Research for the 21st Century Program". Its objective is to evaluate the air-side heat transfer and pressure-drop performance of serpentine-fin, flat-tube heat exchangers. It includes a literature review, a preliminary comparison of flat-tube to round-tube performance, a computational fluid dynamic study of flow through the heat exchangers and complementary modelling to predict the performance of flat-tube designs over a wide range of conditions. Recommendations are provided for a new experimental study to provide performance data for dry, wet, and frosted-surface conditions.
