Effektivare kylsystem för kyl & och frysskåp Erik Björk, PhD student, KTH Björn Palm, Supervisor, KTH Per Wennerström, controller, Electrolux/RDE
Background • Black box • Rule of thumb design • Copy old designs • Energy consumption • Legislations • Customers demand condenser • Open box • Design based on science (heat transfer, pressure drop and charge) • Reduced Energy consumption cap. tube compressor evaporator
The plate evaporator (ER8893C) • Aluminium, 660 x 490 mm • Thickness 1.4 mm • 1.35 kg • White coated • Tube length 6.22 m • Hydraulic diameter 3.2 mm • Total internal volume 115.7 ml • Accumulator volume 45.6 ml
Comparison theory - experimental results Evaporator Condenser
Refrigerant side heat transfer – experimental results Mass flow
Small diameter at inlet – large at outlet Downward sloping channels Distributed accumulator Increased pitch Channels close to plate edges Conclusions improved evaporator design
