Abstract
A fundamental method for analyzing heat exchangers using pure refrigerants and nonazeotropic refrigerant mixtures is presented. The method allows for calculation of heat and mass transfer between moist air and nonazeotropic refrigerant mixtures and predicts local parameters of air and mixtures. Both single and two phase refrigerants can be analyzed with this method. Algorithms for the use of this model are presented. Data and calculated thermal performance for two conventional types of air-side geometries are also presented. The algorithms to calculate thermal performance of heat exchangers can be used for either conventional or enhanced geometries. A comparison of crossflow, cross-counterflow, and counterflow heat exchangers is given. The algorithms are sufficient for design and development of equipment using pure and mixed refrigerants.
