Condenser Design & Optimisation
Trade off-curves are created to define optimum condenser dimensions by means of cost and performance
Example-2: Design of a fan condenser, fan assembly and their layout in the machine compartment of a refrigerator.
Machine Compartment Design
Example-2: Design of a fan condenser, fan assembly and their layout in the machine compartment of a refrigerator.
Evaporator Design & Optimisation
Example – 3 : Performance of 7 evaporator models were evaluated (Roll bond, WoT, Pot , Foamed, Topless, Bracket and Zig-Zag) on a refrigerator.
Roll bond
WoT
PoT
Foamed
Fan Speed 960rpm
Topless
Bracket
Zig-Zag
Example-3 : In the graph, it is possible select the prominent evap, based on cost and performance;
At the bottom, temperature gradients show potential condensation risk on air ducts.
Example-4 : Optimisation to define a WOT evaporator replacing a Roll Bond evaporator in the fridge cavity.
Fan Design & Optimisation
Example-5 : Fan characteristics definition with CFD simulations.
Complete Cooling System Simulation (1D)
Example-6 : Refrigeration system design by 1D simulations.
Lumped parameter methods are used.
Simulation Model :
It consists of refrigeration cycle, cabinet, ambient conditions and electronic control.
Refrigeration cycle:
Compressor, Hot-gas Tube, Condenser, Capillary tube, Fan, Evaporator, Suction Line Heat Exchanger, Gas Charge
Cabinet & Ambient Conditions:
PU thicknesses, outer dimensions, air ducts, ambient temperature
Electronic Control:
Thermostat, Fan motor, Damper control
Example-6 : Refrigeration system design by 1D simulations.
When the cooling system simulation model is created, impact of below parameters can be analysed.
This reduces testing time and expenses drammatically.
Example-7 : Condenser type selection by using system simulation.
Example-8 : Trade-off curves to show Compressors vs Energy Class at different Net Volumes.
Example-9 : Impact of ambient temperature on cooling system.
