Evaporator with enhanced condensate drainage

An evaporator (10) with opposed pairs of generally vertically oriented flow tube surfaces (14) has corrugated air fins in which the tube surface spacing c, the interior radius r of a crest (20) joining adjacent pairs of fin walls (18), the fin pitch p separating adjacent crests (20), and the length...

Zusammenfassung:An evaporator (10) with opposed pairs of generally vertically oriented flow tube surfaces (14) has corrugated air fins in which the tube surface spacing c, the interior radius r of a crest (20) joining adjacent pairs of fin walls (18), the fin pitch p separating adjacent crests (20), and the length l of louvers (22) cut out of the fin walls (18) bear the following relationship: 0 ≤ r/c ≤ 0.057, 0.89 ≤ l/c ≤ 1.01, and 0.29 ≤ p/c ≤ 0.43.
