Frost growth is mainly on the front side, and reducing fin density and increasing louver pitch could effectively improve frosting uniformity.
“Kim et al. [30] also found that frost growth is mainly on the front side; reducing fin density and increasing louver pitch could effectively improve the frosting uniformity.”
From Performance Improvement of Microchannel Heat Exchangers with Modified Louver Fins under Frosting Conditions (2023) · cites this paper as [30]
When air velocity decreased, air momentum decreased, the frost growth rate on the rear side slowed while frost growth on the front side had an insignificant influence, resulting in a more uneven distribution of the frost layer.
“This is because when u a decreased, the air momentum also decreased, and the frost growth rate on the rear side slowed, while the frost growth on the front side had an insignificant influence, resulting in a more uneven distribution of the frost layer [30].”

When air temperature, refrigerant temperature, and relative humidity were changed to promote frost growth, only frost layer growth on the front was significantly affected, resulting in a decrease in frost uniformity between the front and rear side of MCHX.
“In addition, when the air temperature, refrigerant temperature, and RH were changed to promote frost growth, only frost layer growth on the front was significantly affected, resulting in a decrease in frost uniformity between the front and rear side of MCHX.”
An increase in wind speed can significantly affect the growth of frost on the leeward side, thus increasing the frost uniformity of MCHX.
“However, with the increase in wind speed can significantly affect the growth of frost on the leeward side, thus increasing the frost uniformity of MCHX.”
More frost is deposited on the windward side of MCHX, resulting in an uneven distribution of the frost layer.
“Moreover, because MCHX has a more compact structure, more frost is deposited on the windward side, resulting in an uneven distribution of the frost layer.”
Frost is mainly deposited on the front side of the heat exchanger.
“By observing the frosting behavior on the front and rear sides of the heat exchanger, the frost is mainly deposited on the front side (Fig. 5(a)).”
Larger fin pitches, thinner heat exchangers, and smaller tube pitches improved frosting uniformity and heat exchanger performance.
“They found that larger fin pitches, thinner heat exchangers, and smaller tube pitches improved frosting uniformity and heat exchanger performance.”
Increasing fin pitch of microchannel heat exchangers makes frost growth more uniform, reduces thermal performance degradation, and increases average heat transfer rate.
“When the fin pitch of microchannel heat exchangers are increased, frost growth is more uniform, thermal performance degradation is reduced and the average heat transfer rate is increased.”

Thermal performance of forced convection defrosting is improved compared to natural convection defrosting, but at forced convection thermal performance decreases as the number of cycles increases.
“Thermal performance of forced convection defrosting was improved compared to natural convection defrosting; however, the thermal performance at forced convection decreased as the number of cycles increased.”
From Heat transfer characteristics of the heat exchangers for refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump systems under frosting, defrosting and dry/wet conditions—A review (2017) · cites this paper as Kim et al. [6]
Poor drainage of retention water leads to thermal performance degradation under frosting/defrosting conditions.
“Numerous studies [6-9] have suggested that poor drainage of retention water leads to thermal performance degradation under frosting/defrosting conditions.”

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.
