Experimental Study on Lateral Capillary Tube-Suction Line Heat Exchangers
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work presents an experimental approach to study the refrigerant flow through capillary tube-suction line heat exchangers. Lateral heat exchanger performance with refrigerant HFC-134a was experimentally evaluated for a range of heat exchanger assemblies and operating conditions typically found in household refrigerators and freezers. Based on the resulting performance data base, the influence of both the operating conditions and heat exchanger geometry on the refrigerant flow were examined. It was also shown that the experimental data base is in close agreement with the predictions of a numerical model available in the literature.
