Air-side Heat Transfer and Pressure Drop Characteristics of Louver-finned Aluminum Heat Exchangers at Different Inclination Angles

The effect of inclination angle on the heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of brazed aluminum heat exchangers having louvered fins is experimentally investigated. Three samples having different fin pitches (1.25, 1,5 and 2.0 mm) were tested. Results show that heat transfer coefficients a...
