Abstract

A laminated evaporator performance simulation software has been developed and the performance characteristics have been examined with variation of important design parameters, number of plate ( $P_{N}$), plate inner height ( $P_{h}$), Plate thickness ( $p_{t}$) and plate wetted Perimeter ( $P_{wl}$ ). To confirm the program, performance experiment was carried out for two different evaporators. The simulation results matched with experiments within $\pm$10%. Through the parametric studies, $P_{N}$ was shown to be most influential. The $P_{N}$, $P_{h}$ and $P_{wl}$ had a maximum cooling capacity point in the calculation range. In case of $P_{t}$, the smaller was the better.ter.etter.ter.
