Abstract To investigate the design effects of a heat exchanger on a tube type, a tube circuit and a fin pitch, an experimental study on the heat transfer characteristics of finned- tube evaporators was performed. The refrigerant was R-22. A refrigerant loop was established to measure the heat transfer rate, the air heat transfer coefficient. The experimental results showed that the heat transfer characteristics of the evaporators were affected by the design parameters. And the heat transfer rate of the slit fin was better about 25%, compared to those of the louver fin. In the present experimental range, the heat transfer performance with the straight tube circuit was more remarkable than that of the zigzag tube circuit, as seen from temperature variations of the evaporator exit. -factor on the tube type, the tube circuit and the fin pitch decreased, as increasing Reynolds number.
