The purpose of this work was to study the condensation heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics ofHFC-134a in a micro-fined tube with an 18 degree helix angle and to compare them to those in a smooth tube for various operating conditions.The experimental test facility is designed, developed and is used to determine the condensation HTC and pressure drop in smooth and micro-fin tubes for various HFC refrigerants namely HFC-134a, R-404A, R-407C, R-507A. The experimentation covers wide range of operating parameters such as mass flux and condensing temperatures. The...
