Air-side condensate management: Drainage channels in heat exchangers
Condensate on the air-side surface of flat-tube air-cooling heat exchangers can result in several adverse effects on the overall thermal-hydraulic performance. In order to improve the performance of compact heat exchangers under wet-surface conditions, promoting the drainage of condensed water is …

Metal foams as novel materials for air-cooling heat exchangers
… and heat transfer performance, issues related to condensate drainage and frost formation are considered. The main performance obstacle for the application of metal foams is the relatively high pressure drop occurring for velocities typical to air-cooling applications. This high pressure drop …

Effects of air-side surface wettability on the performance of dehumidifying heat exchangers
… is investigated as a method to enhance condensate drainage from the air-side surface of dehumidifying heat exchangers. The attendant impact on the thermal-hydraulic performance of a heat exchanger is also explored, with the goal of improving energy efficiency of heat exchangers through …
