The effect of heat pipe heat exchanger on the heat recovery was studied in the tropics. The performance of the heat exchanger was monitored during the one week of operation (168-h) to find out the performance characteristic curves. Three coil face velocities namely, 2, 2.2 and 2.5m/s were tested and...
