| Summary: | This paper investigates the characteristics of heat exchanger (HPHE) as an efficient
coolness recovery unit in air conditioning through experimental studies. It was conducted
under a multiple-nozzle code tester based on the ASHRAE standards. The wind tunnel
was subjected to airflow with considerable variation in its inlet air temperature. Among
the factors being investigated are the air velocity, inlet and outlet air temperatures,
overall efficiency and the number of rows in longitudinal direction. The data obtained
were compared with the results predicted by previous theoretical studies. Good agreement
was observed. |
