Frost is mainly deposited on the windward side, causing the airflow passage to be blocked by frost quickly.
“Additionally, in practical applications, some studies have found that frost is mainly deposited on the windward side, causing the airflow passage to be blocked by frost quickly [26].”
From Performance Improvement of Microchannel Heat Exchangers with Modified Louver Fins under Frosting Conditions (2023) · cites this paper as [26]
Frost grows not only on the surfaces of fins and tubes but also on the edge of windward fins.
“Moreover, frost grew more than just on the surfaces of fins and tubes (SFT), but on the edge of windward fins (EWF).”
From Temporal and spatial frost growth prediction of a tube-finned heat exchanger considering frost distribution characteristics (2022) · cites this paper as [17]
There is little frost growth on the leeward tube surfaces and the leeward fins at the same height as the tubes.
“For instance, there was little frost growth on the leeward tube surfaces, and the leeward fins at the same height as the tubes.”
From Temporal and spatial frost growth prediction of a tube-finned heat exchanger considering frost distribution characteristics (2022) · cites this paper as [17]
The frost layer accumulated on both the surfaces of fins and tubes and the edge of windward fins.
“As seen, the frost layer not only accumulated on the SFT, but also accumulated on the EWF.”
From Temporal and spatial frost growth prediction of a tube-finned heat exchanger considering frost distribution characteristics (2022) · cites this paper as [17]
Frost on the heat and mass transfer segment of a tube-finned heat exchanger is not uniform.
“Recently, a series of comprehensive experimental studies [15-17] was conducted by the authors and the experimental results showed that frost on the heat and mass transfer segment of a T-FHE was also not uniform.”
From Temporal and spatial frost growth prediction of a tube-finned heat exchanger considering frost distribution characteristics (2022) · cites this paper as [17]
According to previous experimental studies, frost growth on the tube-finned segment is significantly uneven due to both uneven fin temperature distribution and uneven air flow field.
“However, according to the experimental results of the previous studies [15-17] , the frost growth on the tube-finned segment was significantly uneven not only due to the uneven fin temperature distribution, but also the uneven air flow field.”
From Temporal and spatial frost growth prediction of a tube-finned heat exchanger considering frost distribution characteristics (2022) · cites this paper as [17]
Previous studies indicated that there was frost growth on the edge of windward fins.
“In addition, the previous studies [15-17] indicated that there was frost growth on the edge of windward fins, which was not considered in all the existed frosting models of T-FHEs summarized in Table 1 .”

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.
