Author has developed a correlation to predict condensation heat transfer coefficients for refrigerant condensation in an automotive parallel flow condenser. This is a first correlation in the open literature for HFO-1234yf to predict heat transfer coefficients for an automotive condenser. The system refrigerant mass flowrate was varied from 180 to 475 kg/hr; inlet refrigerant qualities from 1 to exit qualities of 0. The tests were conducted at an average condenser saturation temperature of 50°C and the oil circulation ratio was maintained at 3%.
