[EN] Most of the current air-to-refrigerant heat exchanger models use the classic ¿-NTU approach, or some of its assumptions. These models do not account for longitudinal heat conduction in the tube and the fin, and the ...

[EN] The present work presents a model (Fin1Dx3) for air-to-refrigerant microchannel condensers and gas coolers, with any refrigerant circuitry. The model applies a segment-by-segment discretization to the heat exchanger, ...

[EN] For a microchannel heat exchanger (MCHX), given the working conditions, main geometric data of the fin and tubes, heat transfer and face areas, there are multiple choices for the refrigerant circuitry and aspect ratio. ...
