Abstract
A comprehensive literature review has been carried out to investigate the air-side heat transfer enhancement by different types of heat exchanger fin surfaces. In particular, the characteristics of hydrophobic and super-hydrophobic fin surfaces is compared with uncoated (bare) and hydrophilic fins. A summary of comparative findings under dry/wet conditions and frosting/defrosting conditions for heat exchanger and single plates is provided.
