Inner-Grooved Copper Tube Heat Transfer: What Improves and What Must Be Compared

An internal groove can make a copper tube more effective at exchanging heat with the fluid inside it. That does not mean a grooved replacement will increase the capacity of an existing coil by the same percentage. Tube-side performance is one part of a larger thermal and hydraulic system. The useful question is where the […]
