The Experiments were carried out on the performance of the finned-tubed evaporator with the critical nozzle refrigerant distributor. The evaporator was tested at 7 different conditons,which were 0,-4,-8,-12,-16,-20,and -18℃.Then, the results are compared with CAL refrigerant distributor and Venturi refrigerant distributor. The research results show that when the temperature is 0℃, the cooling capacity of the evaporator is 8.5kW,the heat transfer coefficient is 37.9 W/(m^(2 )﹒℃), compared to the gas-liquid separation type diverter, Germany CAL shunt, cooling capacity the corresponding Venturi shunt evaporator were increased by 8.1%, 17.4%, and 21.7%, the heat transfer coefficient is increased by 4.5%, 13.9%, 18.7% and 0.9%, 10.1%, 13.2%. when the temperature were 18℃, the cooling capacity of the evaporator were 5.5kW,the heat transfer coefficient is 30.9 W/(m^(2 )﹒℃), The refrigerating capacity of the corresponding evaporator are increased by 7.2%, 14.3%, and 18.7%, the heat transfer coefficient is increased by 0.9%, 10.1%, 13.2%.The experimental results provide a solution for effectively improving the performance of finned-tubed evaporators. |
