Hi everybody! This is first time i use this forum section, so i hope this would be a good way to answer some of my questions...
Well, iīm writing here to ask if someone can help me (or give me any information) about helical condensers, used in glass door refrigerators.
These condensers are easily manufactured and cheap, but its project is very complex because of the air flow distribution through its surface.
The picture attached shows a helical condenser with 3 towers (17 helical rings per tower). The air flows in the direction showed by the arrow. How can i calculate the heat exchange of the condenser without measuring it? Is there some correlation used for this kind of flow?
I aprecciate your attention! Thanks!
