V-Style Condensers. Pros/Cons?

[milen_d]

Hey guys. I am curious about the positioning of condensers. Are there any benefits to using V-style condensers vs horizontal/vertical condensers? Does it affect the flow of condensate inside the tubes? Is there any research done as to what the most optimal degree of slant would be? Any links with good reads will be dearly appreciated! Thanks.

packaging, so draft or exposed fans on the sides and more surface than a flat design.

Well, that is what my thoughts were until i read this journal:

According to the journal, there is a very strong correlation between condenser efficiency and the angle of the coil due to increased wind velocity.
