In experimental tests, frost mass is typically estimated using the humidity ratio difference between the inlet and the outlet.
“In experimental tests, frost mass is typically estimated using the humidity ratio difference between the inlet and the outlet, as demonstrated in [17] and [20].”
Most experimental tests have been conducted on horizontally assembled plates or fin-and-tube heat exchangers under horizontal air flow conditions.
“In addition, most experimental tests have been con ducted on horizontally assembled plates [12 -17] or fin-and-tube heat exchangers under horizontal air flow conditions [18 -21].”
The frost layer and air-side pressure drop have a strong relationship.
“The frost layer and air-side pressure drop have a strong relationship [34].”
From Experimental investigation on an air source heat pump system with a novel anti-frosting evaporator (2023) · cites this paper as [34]
The model is able to follow the experimental trends of cooling capacity and air flow rate quite satisfactorily, especially after the early transients (from 10 min on).
“Figure 5 compares the time evolution of the calculated cooling capacity (Fig. 5a) and air flow rate (Fig. 5b) with the experimental counterparts, where one can note that the model is able to follow the experimental trends quite satisfactorily, especially after the early transients (i.e., from 10 min on), where the frost formation effects are more perceptible”

From Review on the measurement and calculation of frost characteristics (2018) · cites this paper as [127]
The louver fin had the most frost accumulation amount and the greatest air pressure drop, followed by the wavy and flat fins.
“Some experimental results showed the louver fin had the most frost accumulation amount and the greatest air pressure drop, followed the wavy and flat fins.”
From Effect of fin types of outdoor fan-supplied finned-tube heat exchanger on periodic frosting and defrosting performance of a residential air-source heat pump (2014) · cites this paper as Silva and Hermes [1]
Under certain outdoor winter conditions, frost forms on the outdoor finned-tube heat exchanger and decreases its thermal performance due to the combined effects of increased thermal resistance and decreased airflow rate caused by frost blocking.
“Under certain outdoor winter conditions, frost forms on the outdoor finned-tube heat exchanger and decreases its thermal performance due to the combined effects of the increased thermal resistance and the decreased airflow rate caused by frost blocking.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
