Efficient exchange: enhanced heat exchangers enable improved product designs.

From: Appliance Design | Date: April 1, 2006| Author: Lowe, Mary | Copyright information

Tougher standards, soaring energy prices, and more intense competition are all factors pushing the makers of air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment to design more energy efficient products. The heat exchangers employed as evaporators and condensers in such products play a critical role in overall system efficiency.

While the core principles have underlying finned tubing heat exchangers have remained the same for years, a great deal of research and development has b...
