Ultrasonic Guided Wave Phased Array Focusing Technology and Its Application to Defrosting Performance Improvement of Air-Source Heat Pumps

Previous studies have indicated that a basic frost layer negatively affects the heat-transfer efficiency and is difficult to remove using a single ultrasonic transducer. Herein, an ultrasonic phased array technology is proposed for evaporator coil defrosting. First, the dispersion curve of the guide...
