| Abstract |
The amount of heat loss of a refrigerator through the gasket is nearly 30% of total refrigerator heat loss. In this paper, quantitative evaluation analysis of heat loss through gasket is established with numerical heat transfer analysis. Extending the gasket shape to protect the heat loss from the gasket, power consumption is measured by using real refrigerator in a temperature and humidity chamber and suggest the gasket shape to reduce the heat loss. From the present result of the numerical simulation of heat transfer and experiment with varying gasket shape, we are able to reduce the heat loss about 20～40% by using extended gasket and the power consumption can be reduced about 5%. |
