HIGH-V PLATE FIN FOR A HEAT EXCHANGER AND A METHOD OF MANUFACTURING

摘要

A fin for a heat exchanger coil assembly and a method of manufacturing t he fin is provided. The fin includes a heat transfer enhancement pattern which appears sinusoidal in shape. The base wavy pattern of the enhancement pattern includ es two wavelengths within each tube row and includes seven discrete segments. Six o f the seven segments are circular arc segments. The seventh segment comprises two linear segments which form a condensate channel. The segments are arranged in a particular order at specific distances offset (above and below) from a leadi ng edge nominal air streamline (LENAS) by a fraction of a nominal fin pitch P f. The LENAS is related to the "normal" base wavy pattern used in other fins.
