The effects of the airflow with the same flow rate and different air front velocity distributions on the performance of a two-row finned tube evaporator were numerically studied by the software EVAP-COND 2.1. The air velocity distribution was in four shapes
such as rectangle
two triangles with upper and lower right angles
and isosceles triangle. The results showed that the evaporator capacity for the rectangle shape was the greatest and was 12% more than the smallest one for the triangle shape with lower right angle. The heat transfer performance of the first row tube caused by the local heat transfer coefficients distribution made a major contribution to the difference in the evaporator capacity. The maximum and minimum values of the heat transfer coefficients in the first row tube were smaller for the triangle with lower right angle than those for the other three air velocity shapes
leading to the smallest evaporator capacity. Moreover
the maximum value of the heat transfer coefficients in the first row tube was the greatest for the triangle with upper right angle
and the minimum was bigger than that for the triangle with lower right angle. Hence
the evaporator capacity for the triangle with upper right angle was only smaller than that for rectangle shape. In addition
the air velocity distribution had a smaller effect on the air-and-refrigerant temperature difference than on the heat transfer coefficient.
