Abstract |
A laminated evaporator performance simulation software has been developed and the performance characteristics have been examined with variation of important design parameters, number of plate(PN), plate inner height(Ph), plate thickness(Pt) and plate wetted perimeter(Pwl). To confirm the program, performance experiment was carried out for two different evaporators. The simulation results matched with experiments within ±10%. Through the parametric studies, PN was shown to be most influential. The PN, Ph and Pwl had a maximum cooling capacity point in the calculation range. In case of Pt, the smaller was the better. |
