CYCLING LOSSES IN DOMESTIC APPLIANCES: AN EXPERIMENTAL AND THEORETICAL ANALYSIS.

Summary

THE ON-OFF MODE IS THE WAY OF CONTROL USUALLY APPLIED IN DOMESTIC REFRIGERATION EQUIPMENT. DUE TO THIS OPERATION CYCLING LOSSES WILL OCCUR WHICH DEPEND ON THE ON-OFF CYCLE LENGTH, THE DIMENSIONS OF THE HEAT EXCHANGERS ETC. IT IS THE AIM OF THE STUDY TO ANALYZE THESE CYCLING LOSSES IN DETAIL, BOTH NUMERICALLY AND EXPERIMENTALLY. TWO OPERATION MODES FOR CYCLING ARE SELECTED: THE CONDENSER CLOSED DURING THE OFF-PERIOD AND THE CONDENSER OPEN DURING THE OFF-PERIOD. BOTH CYCLING OPERATION MODES ARE COMPARED WITH A CONTINUOUSLY RUNNING SYSTEM.
