Optimal Design of Compact Heat Exchangers for Environmentally Friendly Heat Pump KU Leuven
The refrigeration industry is increasingly concerned by designing low refrigerant charge systems to comply with the existing restrictions for new refrigerants while ensuring that heat pumps using the alternative refrigerant can be at least as energy efficient as the conventional ones. In particular, heat exchangers have a relevant role because most of the charge stays into their volume. In order to optimally design heat exchangers for heat ...
