Refrigerant circuitry design of fin-and-tube condenser based on entropy generation minimization

摘要: This study presents a numerical model that is applicable to fin-and-tube condensers with complex refrigerant circuitry, and can be used describe the exergy loss on side. The was validated by comparing results experimental data for an R410A multi-pass condenser. modeled measured heat transfer rates were observed agree error of less than 10%. Refrigerant-side performance analyzed according design parameters using model, appropriate evaluation criteria (PEC) established side A methodology developed circuitry based entropy generation minimization (EGM). resulting circuit enhanced lowered in comparison simple circuitries.
