Summary

The paper presents a parametric heat transfer study of the new "egg-crate" type evaporators in domestic refrigerators/freezers by varying fin density, fin height and fin thickness, using a steady state simulation model. A geometrically improved evaporator is proposed having an optimum heat transfer performance, in terms of maximum evaporator capacity per unit weight.
