Résumé

An experimental study was carried out to investigate the characteristics of condensation in a bundle of horizontal tubes. These tubes have different types of external surfaces: smooth surface (1D), low trapezoidal fins with several fin pitches (2D) and specific fins (3D, C+ tube). The used fluids are either pure refrigerant (HFC-134a) or binary mixture of refrigerants (HFC-134a/HFC-23). For the pure fluid and a single tube, the influence of fin spacing was studied (11, 19, 26, 32 and 40 fins/inch) and a comparison was made with the Gewa C+ tube. The results were analysed with the Beatty and Katz theory and compared with a specific model, taking into account both gravity and surface tension effects, developed for the Gewa C+ tube. For the bundle and for a pure fluid, the inundation of the lowest tubes has a strong effect on the Gewa C+ tubes performances contrary to the finned tubes. For the mixture the heat transfer coefficient decreases dramatically especially for Gewa C+ tube.
