Condensation Heat Transfer of New Refrigerants: Advantages of High Pressure Fluids
نویسندگان
چکیده
Heat transfer condensation tests inside a 8 mm ID tube for R-134a, R-410A and R-125 are reported at an average saturation temperature of 40°C, at mass velocities ranging from 65 to 750 kg/(m s), over the entire vapour quality range. After comparing the experimental data against a model able to predict both shear force and gravity driven condensation, a comparison among these fluids has been carried out. Drop ill saturation temperature is chosen as the benchmark, with R-22 as the reference fluid, to show advantages of high pressure fluids regarding heat transfer performance.
