Abstract:In the current research work, the behavior of the boiling heat transfer coefficient in a flat-plate solar collector/evaporator, component of a direct-expansion solar-assisted heat pump (DX-SAHP) was studied using a hydrocarbon refrigerant with zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) and low Global Warming Potential (GWP). The main dimensions of the collector/evaporator are 0.8, 3.8, and 1000 mm of the fin thickness, internal diameter, and length, respectively. Five experimental tests were realized at different ti… Show more
