Résumé

A distributed parameter model for prediction of the transient performance of an evaporator is presented. The model is capable of predicting the refrigerant temperature distribution, tube wall temperature, quality of refrigerant, inventory mass of refrigerant as a function of position and time. An efficient two-level iteration method is proposed to obtain the numerical solution of the model without solving a large set of non-linear equations simultaneously. A round bound evaporator of a 12 ft3 refrigerator with R12 as working fluid was chosen as a sample and some tests were carried out to determine its transient response. The results indicate that the theoretical model provides a reasonable prediction of dynamic response compared with the experimental data. Transient behaviour of temperature, pressure, mass flow rate, mass of liquid and vapour of refrigerant, quality, heat transfer in household refrigerators are presented. Time dependent displacement of interface between saturated and superheated regions is also shown. Extensive investigation of theoretical and experimental results shows that with a controllable compressor, power consumption can be reduced.
