About This Item
Full Description
Heat transfer coefficients for evaporation and condensation of R134a and R12 are compared for a range of conditions typically found in heat exchangers used for refrigeration and air-conditioning applications. The heat transfer coefficients are calculated by using existing correlations for two-phase and single-phase heat transfer. All of these correlations have been previously verified for R12 and, in most cases, a wide range of other refrigerants. Single-phase heat transfer coefficients for R134a are shown to be significantly higher than those for R12. Depending on the liquid refrigerant temperature, the predicted increase is from 27% to 38%, for vapour the predicted increase is from 37% to 45%. Two-phase heat transfer coefficients for R134a also show a significant increase over R12. Evaporation correlations predict increases from 28% to 40%, depending on the refrigerant temperature, tube diameter, and tube length. Condensation correlations predict increases from 33% to 38%, depending on the refrigerant temperature.
