Experimental Investigation on Heat Transfer Performance of Spiral Wire-on-Tube Condenser in Domestic Refrigerator
The air temperature filed around a spiral wire-on-tube condenser of a no-frost refrigerator was investigated experimentally
and then the condenser was optimized accordingly to enhance air-side heat transfer. A wind-broken foam ring was wrapped around downstream part of the condenser to increase airflow in the radial direction
and a wind-broken foam block was set in upstream part of the condenser centerline to reduce airflow in the axial direction
which nearly does not transfer heat. The results show that the condenser outlet temperature decreases by about 0.7 ℃
the compressor operation time ratio drops by 2.02%
and the refrigerator's electricity consumption descends by 2.37% after the optimization. Moreover
both the wind-broken ring and the wind-broken block effectively prevent high-temperature air around the compressor and downstream part of the condenser from flowing to upstream part of the condenser during the outage of compressor
which benefits the heat transfer of the condenser in next operation.
