Abstract

This study experimentally investigates an air-side performance of oval tube heat exchanger against round tube heat exchanger using scaled-up model experiment for home air conditioners. A plain fin and round tube heat exchanger with 21 FPI(fins per inch) was used as a reference heat exchanger, and these were applied equally to 4 oval tube heat exchangers. Oval tube samples were designed with the same perimeter as 7.5mm diameter round tube, and their aspect ratios were 1:2, 1:3, respectively. In this study, the heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of oval tube heat exchangers against round tube heat exchanger were also compared to one another, and an optimal samples for home air conditioners was recommended. And, general performance characteristics for an optimum oval tube samples chosen in this work was compared with round tube heat exchanger.
