A Uniquely Finned Tube Heat Exchanger Design of a Condenser for Heavy-Duty Air Conditioning Systems

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study introduces the design of a novel condenser for air conditioning systems. Enhancement of performance of the system was manifested by increasing the coefficient of performance (COP), decreasing the pressure drop and the power consumed by the refrigerant compressor and the cooling water pump. The design consists of an adiabatic double-pipe heat exchanger with longitudinal rectangular fins. This model can enhance heat transfer coefficient and expose more area per unit length. This novel design supersedes other conventional condenser designs by 4.7% higher COP, 8.2% lower water pressure drop, 4.68% lower compressor power. Two refrigerants have been examined in the study; R-134a which is used in commercial and industrial chillers and R-1234ze which has low global warming potential.
