Investigation of Air Flow on Fins of Fin and Tube Coils in Condensers
The coils play a crucial role in the efficiency of an air conditioner. such as which material to use, which condenser coil design to employ, how much these coils cost, how long they last, etc. The longevity of an air conditioner is directly related to the quality of its condenser coils. Its job is to reduce the temperature of the refrigerant as quickly as feasible. Because it is located outside, it is susceptible to deterioration and corrosion from exposure to the...
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...
