Abstract
Heat- transfer measurements were made for a single,
water-heated tube in a pool of R-114 to simulate operating
conditions of a water chiller. Data were obtained for a
smooth copper tube, and for two commercially available
tubes: a spirally roped copper-nickel tube with a porous
coating; and a copper tube with a structured outer surface
and a multiple-start helical ridged inner surface.
Measurements were made for refrigerant-oil mixtures at oil
concentrations from 0 to 6 mass percent with a boiling pool
temperature of 13.8 ˚C. Results for the two enhanced tubes
with and without oil are compared to the smooth tube data.
Enhancement factors for the overall heat- transfer coefficient
were 4.0 and 3.6 for the structured surface and
porous-coated tubes, respectively, in pure refrigerant and
at a water Velocity of 2 m/s. For these same conditions the
enhancement factors for the outside heat- transfer coefficient
were 14.6 and 6.4 for the porous-coated and structured
surface tubes, respectively.
