Abstract
This paper describes an analytical model that was developed to predict the performance of finned-tube heat exchangers under frosting conditi ons. The method models the frost growth mechanism and heat exchanger p erformance in a comprehensive manner. The results include frost accumu lation and its effect on energy transfer in relation to varying humidi ties, fin densities and ambient conditions.
