Currently, microchannel heat exchangers (MCHXs) are widely employed in refrigeration and
heat pump systems due to their advantages of being more efficient, smaller in size, lower …

The present review covers the heat transfer literature published in 2004 in English
language, including some translations of foreign language papers. Though extensive, some …

The thermal-hydraulic performance under conditions of an initial frost growth on the air-side
surface, and for subsequent 'refrosting'after a defrost period is experimentally studied for …

Vertical-fin microchannel heat exchanger has better frosting and defrosting performance
owing to its better water drainage along vertical fins. Effect of hydrophilic and …

Microchannel heat exchangers (MCHX) have been widely used in heat pump systems due
to their advantages of higher efficiency and lower refrigerant charge. However, when the …

Flat tube heat exchangers are used in heat pump applications for energy-efficient heating
due to their compactness. If ambient air is used as a heat source, frost may form on the …

In air source heat pumps, frost may form on the surface of the evaporator at low ambient air
temperatures. If significant amounts of frost accumulate, the heat pump efficiency decreases …

Heat transfer characteristics and thermal performance enhancements of heat exchangers for
thermal systems under frosting, defrosting, and dry/wet operating conditions have been …

Frost formation on louvered fin microchannel heat exchangers was experimentally
investigated in this paper with the aim of studying the effect of hydrophilic and hydrophobic …

The conventional duct air conditioner typically uses an A-type heat exchanger for indoor
units, which has poor drainage behavior under wet conditions. In this research, a C-type …
