This paper presents the results of experimental investigation of water, methanol and R141b refrigerant boiling on horizontal porous coated tube bundles supposed to represent a flooded-type evaporator. Experiments were carried out for a bundle of 19 tubes in triangular layout for two pitch-to-diameter ratio values – 1.7 and 2.0 – in atmospheric and sub-atmospheric pressure conditions. Average heat transfer coefficients – both local, row-specific, and for the whole bundle – were determined. The boiling process on a bundle was visualized with a CCD camera and laser sheet technique. A Nusselt type correlation equation allowing the calculation of the average heat transfer coefficient for boiling on porous coated tube bundles has been proposed.
