Discrete modeling of fin-and-tube heat exchangers with cross-fin conduction functionality

•Coil model with no cross fin-conduction has increased bias to underpredict capacity.•The addition of cross fin conduction to the model reduces the amount of bias.•Cross-fin conduction is important in coil when its system(s) is inactive.•It increases with increased difference in air and water temper...
