Experimental investigation of double-pipe heat exchangers in air conditioning applications by Saud Ghani (7205633)

“…By increasing the DIW flowrate in the evaporator, the compressor work was shown to decrease, while the COP was shown to increase. In comparison with a standard rated air conditioning unit, using a double-pipe evaporator and condenser units with the maximum DIW flowrates resulted in a decrease of about 53% in the compressor work and a similar percentage of increase in the system COP.…”
