Heat Transfer Analysis, Designing and Developing of AC Condenser For Different Materials

Abstract

The main objective is to design, develop and utilize the high-efficient heat transfer of an AC condenser. In sys-tems involving heat transfer, a condenser is a device or unit used to condense a substance from its gaseous to its liquid state, typically by cooling it. The latent heat is given up by the substance, and will transfer to the con-denser coolant. An optimization technique that can be useful in assessing the best configuration of a finned-tube condenser is presented and the Heat transfer by convec-tion in air cooled condensers is studied and improved in this work. The assessment is carried out on an air-cooled finned-tube condenser of a vapour compression cycle for air conditioning system. Heat transfer analysis is done on the condenser to evaluate the material and refrigerant. The materials considered for tubes are Copper and Aluminum alloy 1100 and for fins are 1050 and 1100. The refriger-ants varied are R12, R 22 and R 134. 3D modeling is done in Pro/Engineer and analysis is done in Ansys.
