Simulation Calculation of Spiral Condenser about Refrigerant System

Abstract:

This paper establish a simulation program about the spiral condenser based on theoretical behavior of thermal parameters used R134a as refrigerant, analysis the influence of heat transfer area on refrigerant performance, and calculate best length of condenser heat transfer tube. The results show that the tread of coefficient of performance(COP) and cooling capacity of the system is similar along with the heat transfer tube length, and the research for the optimization design about spiral condenser heat exchanger provides the theoretical support.
