- Abstract
- Energy consumption regulation of household refrigerator has been
continuously strengthened worldwide. In Korea, energy efficiency rating
labeling was enforced from 1992. According to data from the Korea Energy
Management Corporation (KEMCO), energy consumption of refrigerators
has been reduced 59% over 15 years. Because of that, most refrigerator
manufacturers are seeking ways to improve thermal and electrical
performance of their products. In general, researching and development
method of refrigerator is trial and error procedure, which is time consuming
and costly. Hence, numerical analysis represent an essential tool to improve
time and cost. Therefore, a study for the numerical simulation of the
refrigerator has been conducted actively.
In this study, experiments were conducted together with the numerical
simulation to find the refrigerant charging amount of minimizing the power
consumption of household refrigerator, which has capillary tube with heat
exchanger. The experimental data were obtained in refrigerant charge range
from 80 g to 125 g at ambient temperature of 25℃. According to the
experimental data, the power consumption of household refrigerators has
been minimized at the refrigerant amount 104g. The numerical simulation
was computed under the same condition of the experiments by finite
difference method. The numerical data showed that power consumption was
minimized at refrigerant amount 98 g. Numerical simulation result was
compared with experimental data, and it was found that optimal refrigerant
charge amount was well predicted by the model.
