dc.description.abstractCompact heat exchanger an improved heat transfer equipment, is being widely used in many industrial applications such as automobiles, aerospace, cryogenic, electronic cooling, oil and gas sectors. Among the various types of compact heat exchangers, brazed plate fin types are mostly preferred due to their compactness, higher effectiveness, reduced space and weight. Brazed plate fin compact heat exchangers generally use plain fins, serrated, perforated, wavy and louvered fins that offer large fin density. The single-phase heat transfer characteristics study in compact heat exchangers are more available when compared to the phase change heat transfer applications. However, there exists an extensive application of phase change heat transfer mechanisms in compact heat exchanger due to their better performance. There are many studies available using refrigerant R134a in literature. But the condensation study of low GWP refrigerant R1234yf is found to be limited in compact heat exchangers design and the works available are mostly for tubes, channels, mini-channels and micro-fins. Literature survey also indicates that the work on condensation heat transfer of refrigerant R1234yf inside brazed plate fin compact heat exchangers with serrated and wavy fin surfaces are not available.
