In the quest to reduce energy consumption and the amount ofrefrigerant in systems, the air-to-refrigerant heat exchanger is a primearea of interest. Although reducing heat exchanger cost and maximizingperformance have always been of great interest to the HVAC community,recently new thoughts on tube size, materials, manufacturing processes,as well as computational analysis methodologies have been gainingtraction. This program presents all of these facets of modern heatexchanger optimization.
