Investigation of Refrigerant Boiling in a Compact Heat Exchanger Manufactured Using Additive Manufacturing Technology
An experimental investigation was conducted to characterize refrigerant boiling in a compact shell-and-tube heat exchanger manufactured from SS316L stainless steel using selective laser melting. The exchanger incorporated horizontally oriented minichannels surrounded by a confined shell-side space, where boiling occurr...
