Numerical and experimental studies on adiabatic and nonadiabatic capillary tubes with HFC134a.
Author(s) : DIRIK E., INAN C., TANES M. Y.
Summary
The paper focuses on the effects of suction line heat exchange on flow characteristics of capillary tubes for simulating real operating conditions of household refrigerators. A portion of the capillary tube passes inside the suction line to form a counter flow heat exchanger. In this assembly, superheated refrigerant vapour passes from the evaporator outlet to the compressor through the concentric circular-tube annulus. Experiments were conducted for both adiabatic and nonadiabatic capillary tubes to validate the numerical model. Validation is quite good.
