Effect of the Number of Circuits on a Finned-Tube Heat Exchanger Performance and Its Improvement by a Reversely Variable Circuitry

The finned-tube heat exchanger (FTHX) works better with more circuits as an evaporator but fewer as a condenser in air-source heat pumps (ASHPs). In this article, a reversely variable circuitry is proposed to address this contradiction. The effects of the circuit number on the performance of an outd...
