Refrigerants Impact on coil design

Refrigerants in HVAC systems can be categorized into different types, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), and hydrocarbons. The choice of refrigerant significantly impacts coil design in HVAC systems. For example, the transition from CFCs to HCFCs and HFCs was driven by environmental concerns, as CFCs were found to deplete the ozone layer. HFCs, like R-410A, became popular due to their ozone-friendly nature, but concerns over their high global warming potential (GWP) led to the development of alternative refrigerants...

Fin Space یا FPI چیست؟

What is Fin Space or FPI?

Fin space, one of the important factors in coil’s design What is Fin Space or FPI? In the context of coil design, "fin space" refers to the gap between adjacent fins on a coil. It is a crucial parameter as it affects the heat transfer efficiency of the coil. A smaller fin space generally increases the surface area available for heat transfer but may also lead to higher air resistance. "Fin per inch" (FPI) is a measurement that indicates the number of fins...
