Title:
A HEATEXCHANGER WITH A MICROCHANNEL FIN
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/027098
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A heat exchanger includes a plurality of tubes (12), each tube configured for a flow of fluid therethrough and one or more fins located between adjacent tubes of the plurality of tubes. The one or more fins are spaced by a fin pitch (Fp,18) and are configured to improve thermal energy transfer between the plurality of tubes and ambient air. Each fin includes a fin face extending between the adjacent tubes, a substantially planar fin cap (22) connected to the fin face secured to one or the tubes, and a fin radius (Rc,26) connecting the fin face to the fin cap such that the fin radius is reduced to promote condensate removal from the heat exchanger.
