The effects of evaporator frosting on the energy consumption for refrigeration.

Author(s) : POREDOS A., ZIHER D.

Summary

This paper analyses the impact of refrigerating temperature or evaporating temperature on the energy consumption. It is well known that decreasing the evaporating temperature reduces the coefficient of performance. An analysis of the impact of evaporating temperature has shown that its reduction is rapidly accelerated by water vapor condensation from the air and frosting of the evaporator, resulting in extra energy consumption for defrosting the evaporator.
