Establishes a mathematic model, taking into account the variation of frost density and the decrease of airflow rate caused by frost layer. Studies the frost accumulation quantity and frost density of the plane-fin finned tube heat exchanger by numerical analysis and experiments. The calculated results are conformed to the experimental results better.
