Abstract

A performance analysis of refrigeration system using the HFC-134a and scroll compressor is performed numerically. The refrigeration system mainly consists of various standard components such as heat exchanger, compressor, and expansion device. The model for heat exchanger performance is based on a tube-by-tube method which is analyzed separately by considering the cross-flow heat transfer with the outdoor air flow and pressure drop. Compressor is used the scroll-type compressor which has many merits such as high efficiency, low noise and vibration, and small in size. Short-tube is included as an expansion device. Vapour and liquid line are also considered for the performance analysis of refrigeration system. Using the modeling of various components of refrigeration system, a performance comparison of CFC-12 and HFC-134a is performed numerically for the various outdoor air temperature and various values of short-tube diameter. As the results of this study, the refrigeration system performance decreases as the outdoor air temperature increases. And the optimum short-tube diameter based on COP is 1.37mm for this system.
