Dynamic omniphobic surfaces enable the stable dropwise condensation of completely wetting refrigerants by Kazi Fazle Rabbi, Siavash Khodakarami, Jin Yao Ho, Muhammad Jahidul Hoque, Nenad Miljkovic

“…Our experimental results demonstrate that the omniphobic P-HFDS coating facilitates dropwise condensation of both natural refrigerants (water, ethanol, hexane, pentane) and synthetic low-global-warming-potential refrigerants (HCFO R1233zd(E) and HFO R1336mzz(Z)) with surface tension as low as 14.6 mN m−1 at 25°C. The P-HFDS coating improves condensation heat transfer coefficients by 274%, 347%, 636%, and 688% for ethanol, hexane, pentane, and R1233zd(E), respectively, compared to filmwise condensation on uncoated metal surfaces. …”
