What is the most common arrangement for a compact heat exchanger such as that used on an air conditioning cooling coil located in a ventilation supply duct?
• Compact heat exchanger design used in HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) ductwork • Differences between plate-fin and finned‑tube construction • Which coil shapes are practical to mount across a rectangular ventilation duct
• Visualize the cooling coil you see in typical air conditioning or air handler units: what does the coil look like when air passes through it? • Which option would give a large heat transfer surface area while fitting flatly across a straight section of duct? • Among the listed coil shapes, which are more often used in tanks or round shells rather than across flat air ducts?
• Check which design is most commonly shown in HVAC textbooks or diagrams of air‑handling units. • Verify which coil geometry is easiest to install and seal in a rectangular supply duct without leaving big air bypass gaps. • Confirm which construction type (plate‑fin vs finned‑tube) is usually associated with typical A/C evaporator or cooling coils.
