SharePotential for using enhanced aluminum extrusions for refrigerator heat exchangers.
Author(s) : GOSLOVICH K. S., BULLARD C. W.
Summary
Extruded aluminum tubing of the type used for compact heat exchangers in automotive air-conditioning systems is considered for use in the manufacture of a condenser and evaporator for domestic refrigerators. Parametric analyses approximated trade-offs among primary cost determinants (aluminum mass, refrigerant inventory, and number of circuits), subject to volume and frost- and dust-fouling constraints, and identified tube configurations that would be competitive with conventional wire-on-tube condensers and finned-tube evaporators. Several hundred finite-difference equations were used to represent each heat exchanger, and optimal component configurations were determined. Results are given.
