Motivated by the concept of energy-optimized air/space vehicles, the design of more-electric
and all-electric vehicles has become increasingly popular. With the advance of micro-electro …

The novel alternatively-laminated-microchannel-tube (ALMT) heat exchanger contains two
pairs of vertical headers and alternatively laminated microchannel flat tubes, which realizes …

The separation circuitry has been proven in the past to improve the performance of
microchannel condensers. In the vertical second header of the condenser, liquid separates …

The experimental study on a microchannel condenser with the separation circuitry (or
separation condenser) was conducted in the past by the same authors. The separation …

This paper presents a mechanistic model that predicts two-phase refrigerant distribution in
brazed plate heat exchangers. The modeling of two-phase distribution is based on the flow …

The Micro-channel heat exchangers (MCHXs) suffer from the non-uniform distribution of two-
phase refrigerant due to the combined effects of inlet phase separation and differences in …

Phase separation has been proven to be beneficial to air-cooled parallel flow microchannel
condensers for air conditioning systems. The inlet to the condenser with phase separation is …

Brazed plate heat exchangers (BPHEs) have been widely used in the heating, ventilating,
air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVAC&R) industry for their compactness and high heat …

This study aims at understanding flow distribution exiting thermostatic expansion valve and
through distributor. It is well known that when two-phase flow goes through separation …
