Technical Analysis of the Advantages and Limitations of Aluminum as Fins in Fin-and-Tube Coils
Proposed Abstract:This paper presents a comprehensive examination of the reasons for using aluminum as the fin material in fin-and-tube coils. By reviewing thermal properties, heat transfer behavior, thermal conductivity, specific mass (density), corrosion resistance, formability, and manufacturing cost, we show that the combination of these characteristics makes aluminum well suited for HVAC, heating, and refrigeration applications. Additionally, the effects of fin design (fin density, thickness, and geometry), manufacturing processes (stamping, extrusion, and brazing), and performance metrics such as overall thermal...

Analysis and Comparison of the Effects of Crossflow and Parallel Flow (Co-flow and Counter-flow) on Heat Transfer and Performance Parameters in Finned Tube Coils
Finned tube coils are essential components in heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), and refrigeration systems, where efficient heat transfer between fluids and air is paramount. In these systems, the direction of fluid flow relative to the airflow—typically classified as crossflow, parallel co-flow, or parallel counter-flow—significantly impacts thermal performance and operational parameters. This study aims to analyze and compare the effects of these flow configurations on heat transfer efficiency, pressure drop, and overall coil effectiveness.
