VC-21A-C038 – Experimental Results and Model Calculations of Evaporator's Heat Receiving Performance Using Low Pressure Refrigerant

Click here to purchase
We carried out experiments attempting to measure thermal conductance of an evaporator with a low-pressure refrigerant, and proposed a model calculation which explained behavior of the measured thermal conductance. Utilizing an apparatus which consisted of heat loads, an evaporator, a heat exchanger, and a chiller, evaporator’s receiving heat at different conditions was measured. The thermal conductance was obtained from relations of the evaporator’s receiving heat to temperature differences between a cold liquid refrigerant and hot air, and it found that the heat receiving performance with the low-pressure refrigerant changed significantly at a specific temperature difference. In order to explain this phenomenon, a model calculation based on the fact that boiling started when vapor pressure of a refrigerant overcame the Laplace pressure was proposed. This understanding of characteristics of evaporator’s heat receiving performance will be important when a refrigeration cycle starts utilizing low-GWP (Global Warming Potential) and low-pressure refrigerants.
