Simulation Study on the Influence of Different Refrigerants on Finned Tube Evaporators
Evaporator is the core component that affects the energy efficiency of refrigeration unit.Different refrigerants make the efficiency of heat exchanger different.In order to study the influence of different refrigerants on the heat transfer efficiency of evaporator,a finned tube evaporator model was established.In finned tube evaporator,Fluent software is used to simulate the heat transfer of 5 different refrigerants,and the velocity field,pressure field and temperature field of the evaporator are obtained.The results show that CO2 refrigerant has the highest heat transfer efficiency in finned tube heat exchanger.
