A fin for a heat exchanger coil assembly and a method of manufacturing the fin
is provided. The fin includes a heat transfer enhancement pattern which appears
sinusoidal in shape. The base wavy pattern of the enhancement pattern includes
two wavelengths within each tube row and includes seven discrete segments. Six
of the seven segments are circular arc segments. The seventh segment comprises
two linear segments which form a condensate channel. The segments are arranged
in a particular order at specific distances offset (above and below) from a leading
edge nominal air streamline (LENAS) by a fraction of a nominal fin pitch Pf.
The LENAS is related to the "normal" base wavy pattern used in other fins.
