Hi All, I am new to the forum and I would like to ask you a clarification:
I am dealing, for job issues, with different calculation softwares for calculating coolers, some from European producers and some from US producers.

My question is:
In some of them I find the definition of <<air inlet>> in some others I find <<air temperature>>.
Apparently there would not be difference between the two, but, once calculating, I got models with lower surface and lower volume – therefore with a smaller model I can get the same capacity with same refrigerant and air velocity conditions.

I suppose that the heat exchange works in the same manner in the whole world ;-) therefore I am asking the reason of this difference.

Have you had the same experiences like mines ?
Anybody of you has faced to this ?
Is a definition of the two terms ?


Thank you.
