Subcooling Coefficient in Heat Exchangers Formulas

Subcooling Coefficient is the heat transfer coefficient when the condensed vapor is further subcooled to lower temperature in a condenser. And is denoted by h_sc. Subcooling Coefficient is usually measured using the Watt per Square Meter per Kelvin for Heat Transfer Coefficient. Note that the value of Subcooling Coefficient is always positive.

FAQ

What is the Subcooling Coefficient?

Subcooling Coefficient is the heat transfer coefficient when the condensed vapor is further subcooled to lower temperature in a condenser. Subcooling Coefficient is usually measured using the Watt per Square Meter per Kelvin for Heat Transfer Coefficient. Note that the value of Subcooling Coefficient is always positive.

Can the Subcooling Coefficient be negative?

No, the Subcooling Coefficient, measured in Heat Transfer Coefficient cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Subcooling Coefficient?

Subcooling Coefficient is usually measured using the Watt per Square Meter per Kelvin[W/m²*K] for Heat Transfer Coefficient. Watt per Square Meter per Celcius[W/m²*K], Joule per Second per Square Meter per Kelvin[W/m²*K], Kilocalorie (IT) per Hour per Square Foot per Celcius[W/m²*K] are the few other units in which Subcooling Coefficient can be measured.
