Abstract The performance evaluation for a residential window air conditioning system with micro-channel condensers has been performed. First, a series of wind-tunnel calorimeter tests are conducted for two different prototype micro-channel heat exchangers. The measured heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics for the heat exchangers are then compared to four conventional finned round tube designs, which were obtained using a validated simulation model for identical air and refrigerant inlet conditions. Finally, two prototype micro-channel condensers are installed in the system and system performance tests are conducted. System characteristics such as capacity, energy efficiency ratio, and suction and discharge pressures and temperatures are presented, compared to those for the conventional system. Refrigerant charge amount for a window air conditioner with a micro-channel condenser is decreased by 35%, and the condenser core volume and weight can be reduced by 55% and 35%, respectively, compared to the conventional baseline system.

Heat exchangers play an important role in power, the chemical industry, petroleum, food and many other industrial productions, while compact heat exchangers are more favored in industrial applications due to their high thermal efficiency and small size. This paper summarizes the research status of different types of compact heat exchangers, especially the research results of heat transfer and pressure drop of printed circuit heat exchangers, so that researchers can have an overall understanding of the development of compact heat exchangers and get the required information quickly. In addition, this paper summarizes and analyzes several main working fluids selected in compact heat exchangers, and puts forward some discussions and suggestions on the selection of working fluids. Finally, according to the existing published literature, the performance evaluation indexes of compact heat exchangers are summarized and compared, which is convenient for developers and researchers to better grasp the design direction.
