Condensation heat transfer and pressure drop coefficients of R22/R142b in a water cooled helicaly coiled tube-in-tube heat exchanger.

M.Ing. / Heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics during in-tube condensation of nonazeotropic mixtures of R22/R142b in a smooth helically coiled copper tube with an inside diameter of 8.11 mm are investigated. The experimental results are compared with prediction from correlation. The coefficient of performance of.the heat pump built and used for experiments has been studied. The mass flux of the refrigerant was varied during the course of the experiments. At similar mass flow rate of fluids, the average heat transfer coefficients for mixtures were lower than those for pure refrigerant R22 used as reference for comparison. Also, the heat transfer coefficients of all the refrigerants increased with increasing mass flux.
