Refrigerator Evaporator System (Multi-Phase Flow)
Project Area of Specialization Mechanical EngineeringProject SummaryIn any refrigeration system evaporators play a key role in the whole cycle. The purpose of the evaporator is to extract heat from the refrigerator cabin. At the inlet of the evaporator, cold refrigerant in liquid form enters. While passing through tubes it absorbs heat from surrounding and changes its phase to vapor thus creating a cooling effect. The design of the cooling fins in the evaporator plays a key role in cooling. The purpose of this project is to analyze the different configurations of evaporator design for an existing refrigerator and by the means of simulation and analyses optimize it further.
