Abstract: An experimental study was performed on wavy-finned-tube used in forced draft direct air-cooled steam condenser (DACSC) under actual working conditions of the power generating unit. Tests were carried out to study the air side heat transfer characteristics of wavy-finned-tube in actual operating conditions of DACSC, such as: air temperature, air face velocity, environmental temperature, exhaust pressure of steam turbine and temperature of exhaust steam. The air-side heat transfer characteristics of wavy-finned-tube heat exchangers were tested and analyzed by varying air face velocity .One empirical correlations for predicting the h-factor was developed.
