초록

In the fan module of the intercooling refrigerator, a drain hole structure was designed for stable drainage of defrost water. However, the airflow passing through the drain hole can disturb flow features around the evaporator. Since this backflow leads to an increase in flow loss, the accurate experimental and numerical analyses are important to understand the flow characteristics around the fan module. Considering the complex geometry around the fan module, three different turbulence models (Standard k-ε model, SST k-ω model, Reynolds stress model) were used in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis. According to the quantitative and qualitative comparison results, the Standard k-ε model was most suitable for the research object. High-accuracy results well match with the experiment result and overcome the limitation of the experiment setup. The method used in this study can be applied to a similar research object with an orifice outflow driven by a rotating blade.
