Three-zone, steady-state modelling of a mobile air-conditioning condenser.

Author(s) : KEMPIAK M. J., CRAWFORD R. R.

Summary

A three-zone model, based on the desuperheating, condensing and subcooling sections of a mobile air-conditioning condenser, was developed from a least-squares analysis of experimental data. The outlet refrigerant temperature and pressure and the outlet air temperature were the dependent variables. The overall heat transfer coefficient for each of the three sections and the length of each section were determined using energy equations for each section. The pressure drop within the condenser model was included as a function of the refrigerant mass flow rate for each section. The model predictions, based on the inputs to the model, were compared to the experimental data.
