This research investigates the temperature difference between the surface and moist air as an environmental factor affecting heat transfer and droplet distribution. For this purpose, a test device was built to control environmental conditions. The condensation phenomenon occurred when two types of hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces were exposed to moist air. The relative humidity and speed of humid airflow were kept constant at 88% and 5 m/s, respectively, and the temperature difference considered was 4, 7, and 10 degrees Celsius. The varying heat transfer with time during the 60 minutes has shown that it takes time to start the condensation process; the more the temperature difference and the amount of surface energy, the shorter this time and the higher the average heat transfer. The photography of the experiments has also shown that with the increase in temperature difference and surface energy, the time required for the first drop to fall is shorter, and the hydraulic diameter of the dropped drop is bigger. The distribution of the droplets in the 20th minute after the start of each experiment, in which no droplets have left the test surfaces yet, shows that with the increase in the temperature difference, the number of larger droplets is more due to the increase in the condensation rate. The number of the smallest droplets is higher on hydrophobic surfaces than hydrophilic ones.
