Impact of heat exchanger surface wettability on condensation, frosting, and defrosting performance under practical testing conditions
Condensation and frost accumulation on aluminum heat exchangers present major challenges for heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVAC&R) systems. Both phenomena increase thermal resistance and airflow restriction, which diminish heat transfer, lower system capacity, and drive …

Effect of latent load on heat exchanger design
… increasingly more significant [14], [16]. Heat exchangers are a fundamental component of thermal systems. These systems often operate in high humidity environments where latent loads can significantly reduce performance due to condensate accumulation on fin surfaces. The current …

Design considerations of a 15kW heat exchanger for the CSPonD Project
The objective of this work was to develop a 15 kW heat exchanger model for the CSPonD molten salt receiver that will shuttle the molten salt's thermal energy for conversion to electric power. A heat extraction system comprising of an intermediate heat exchanger placed inside the molten salt …

The fundamentals of two-phase flow in wet domestic central heating systems
… on the flow line of domestic wet central heating systems. To date, no data and theoretical models predicting the two-phase flow characteristics in domestic wet central heating systems are available in the open literature. This gap in literature has prevented essential design improvements …
