Results of refrigerant R407C condensation in a mini condenser made in the form of two bundles of tubular minichannels from stainless steel with an inside diameter 0.64 mm and length 100 mm have been presented. Two exchangers consisted of four minichannels and 8 minichannels have been investigated. The values of average heat transfer coefficient and frictional pressure drops throughout the condensation process were designated. The impact of the vapor quality of refrigerant and the mass flux density on the intensity of heat transfer and flow resistance were illustrated. A comparative analysis of test results for various refrigerants in both mini heat exchangers were made.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Condensation of refrigerant R407C in multiport minichannel section}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/105633/PDF/01_paper.pdf}, doi={10.1515/aoter-2016-0024}, keywords={condensation, minichannels, R407C refrigerant, heat exchanger}, }
