Type of article: Article, IJR article

Summary

The paper shows that the intermittent operation of a defrosting vapour-compression-cycle refrigerator can be optimized with respect to: the frequency of on/off operation, and the way in which the supply of heat exchanger surface is divided between evaporator and condenser. The optimal on/off frequency and surface allocation ratio are reported in non-dimensional charts, based here on the real properties of R12 and R134a.
