Dynamic Simulation and Analysis of the Process of Cold-Storage Plate Release Cool in Refrigerator Vehicle

Abstract:

This paper presents a mathematical model for simulating the heat transfer process in a cold-storage plate that can be used in the refrigerator vehicle. The numerical method studied was an enthalpy method. Variation rule between process of release cool and influenced factors were obtained. The effect of solar radiation time was investigated in discharging process. Both increasing the number of cold-storage plate and improving sealed performance of door and compartment can extend release cool time. The results show that according to the different breath heat of goods, reasonable arrangement of number of cold-storage plate can meet cold demand in the transport; solar radiation also has influence to the process of cold-storage plate release cool, with considering cold load caused by solar radiation, release cool time is shortened by 13%.
