Chi-Chuan Wang, Ph.D.

Chi-Chuan Wang is senior researcher, manager, Energy and Resources Lab, Industrial Technology Research Institute, Hsinchu, Taiwan. He has contributed toward the understanding of the performance of fin-and-tube heat exchangers in both air-side and tube side. Through his work, more than 300 fin-and-tube heat exchangers were tested, resulting in a database and correlations that are internationally recognized. Based on this database, several Windows-based programs applicable for these exchangers were developed. He also helped Taiwan air-conditioning companies build advanced systems, such as R-410A air conditioners with and without inverters, multi-split air conditioners and design software for heat exchangers and heat pump systems.
