EFFECT OF TUBE PASS RATIOS AND FLOW PASS CONFIGURATIONS ON THE THERMAL AND HYDRAULIC PERFORMANCE OF THE ALUMINIUM MINI-CHANNEL HEAT EXCHANGER

Aluminium mini-channel heat exchanger or in short MCHX is gaining much popularity in the field of HVAC&R. MCHX is a suitable choice to replace conventional fin-tube condensers due to its high heat transfer area per unit volume, lightweight and resistance to galvanic corrosion. Dueto the high...
