An experimental study on the refrigerant-side pressure drop of slit fin-tube heat exchanger has been carried out. A comparison was made between the predictions of previously proposed empirical correlations and experimental data for the pressure drop on design conditions of condenser in micro-fin tube for R22 and its alternatives, R407C (R32/125/134a, 23/25/52 wt.％) and R410A (R32/125, 50/50 wt.％). Experiments were carried out under the conditions of inlet refrigerant temperature of 6$0^{\circ}C$ and mass fluxes varying from 150 to 250 kg/$m^2$s for R22, R407C and R410A. The inlet air conditions are dry bulb temperature of 35$^{\circ}C$, relative humidity of 40% and air velocity varying from 0.68 to 1.43 m/s. Experiments show that pressure drop for R410A and R407C were 17.8∼20.2％ and 5∼6.8％ lower than those of R22 respectively for the degree of subcooling of 5$^{\circ}C$. For the mass fluxes of 200∼250 kg/$m^2$s, the deviation between the experimental and predicted values for the pressure drop was less than $\pm$20％ for R22, R407C and R410A.

R407C is considered as alternative refrigerant of R22 for air conditioners. Experimental investigation is made to study the condensation heat transfer characteristics of slit fin-tube heat exchanger using alternative refrigerant, R407C. Experiments are carried out at condensation pressure of 2110 kPa and 1943 kPa with the degree of superheat of 1$0^{\circ}C$ and mass flux varying from 150 to 250 kg/$m^2$s for refrigerant side. The inlet air condition is dry bulb temperature of 35$^{\circ}C$, relative humidity of 50% and air velocity varying from 0.8 to 1.6 m/s. Experiments show that pressure drop gets smaller at a higher condensation pressure especially when condensation pressure is raised from 1943 to 2110 kPa. Heat transfer rate gets smaller at a lower condensation pressure in the range of experimental condition.

An experimental investigation was made to study two-phase flow distribution in a T-type distributor of slit fin-and-tube heat exchanger using R-22. Experiments were carried out under the conditions of saturation temperature of $5^{\circ}C$ and mass flow rate varying from 0.6 to 1.2kg/min. The inlet air has dry bulb temperature of $27^{\circ}C$, relative humidity of 50% and air velocity varying from 0.63 to 1.71m/s. A comparison was made between the predictions from the previously proposed tube-by-tube method and the present experimental data for the heat transfer rate of evaporator. Results show that $82.5\%$ increase of air velocity is needed for T-type distributor with four outlet branches than that of two outlet branches under the superheat of $5^{\circ}C$, which resulted in increasing of air-side pressure drop of $130\%$ for the former as compared to the latter.

It is well known that some key parameters, such as evaporating temperature, refrigerant mass flow rate, face velocity and inlet air temperature, have significant influence on the evaporator performance. However performance studies related to a humid environment have been very scarce. It is demonstrated that the refrigerant mass flow rate, heat flux, water condensing rate and air outlet temperature of the evaporator significantly increase with air inlet relative humidity. As the air inlet relative humidity increases, the latent and total heat transfer rates increase, but the sensible heat transfer rate decreases. The purpose of this study is to provide experimental data on the effect of air inlet relative humidity on the air and refrigerant side pressure drop characteristics for a slit fin-tube heat exchanger. Experiments were carried out under the conditions of inlet refrigerant saturation temperature of 7 $^{\circ}C$ and mass flux varied from 150 to 250 kg/$m^2$s. The condition of air was dry bulb temperature of 27$^{\circ}C$, air Velocity Varied from 0.38 to 1.6 m/s. Experiments Showed that air Velocity decreased 8.7% on 50% of relative humidity 40% of that at degree of superheat of 5$^{\circ}C$, which resulted that pressure drop of air and refrigerant was decreased 20.8 and 8.3% for 50% of relative humidity as compared to 40%, respectively.

본 실험적 연구는 슬릿휜-관열교환기의 냉매측 압력강하에 대하여 수행하였다. 응축기의 설계조건에서 미세휜관내 냉매 R22와 R134a의 압력강하에 대한 실험데이터와 앞서 제안한 상관관계식과 상호 비교하였다. 실험은 냉매 R22와 Rl34a의 응축기 입구온도 $60^{\circ}C$, 질량유속 $150{\sim}250\;kg/m^{2}s$ 범위에서 수행하였다. 공기의 유입조건은 건구온도 $35^{\circ}C$, 상대습도 40%이며, 공기유속의 범위는 $0.68{\sim}1.43\;m/s$이다. 실험결과 응축기의 과냉도 $5^{\circ}C$ 조건에서 R134a의 압력강하는 R22보다 $22{\sim}22.6%$ 높게 나타났으며, 냉매의 질량유속 $200{\sim}250\;kg/m^{2}s$의 범위에서 실험으로부터 측정한 R22와 Rl34a의 압력강하는 예측결과와 ${\pm}20%$내에 일치하였다.
