Yau, Y H; Ding, L C, Empirical study of horizontal two-row heat pipe heat exchanger in tropical climates, Journal of the Energy Institute, February 2012, Volume 85, Number 1, p50-56.
An experiment to obtain the performance curves of the two-row heat pipe heat exchanger (HPHX) was carried out by installing the test rig onto the ducts connected to a climate chamber subjected to the actual weather profile of Kuala Lumpur. The HPHX in the present study was made by a copper tube as well as aluminium fins with 12 fins/in. and charged with R-134a by 110% saturation degree of the coil volume. In this study, the HPHX was subjected to an air flowrate of ?0·147 m3 s?1. The air for the condenser inlet during testing was controlled at ºC, whereas the relative humidity (RH) ranges from 59·8 to 75·2%. Based on the testing, the empirical curves of the HPHX performance at the evaporator for different inlet dry bulb temperatures and RH were evaluated and presented.
