这项工作对冰箱隔间的流动和热行为进行了分析，其中其冷却效果基于扩散吸收技术。 CFD 用于对冰箱进行建模和仿真。主要目的是比较具有翅片表面的板式蒸发器设计（参考冰箱）和具有光滑表面的板式蒸发器（提议的设计）的热行为。此外，通过对速度分布以及温度和速度的路径的讨论完成了研究。在车厢内有线架子位置的影响下也观察到了这一点。此外，还评估了冰箱的性能。本研究旨在扩大我们对该冰箱模型的温度和流场的了解。最后，这项工作的发展凸显了数值模拟在寻求冰箱模型设计改进方面的重要性，这可能有助于扩散吸收式冰箱的制造商。
This work presents the analysis of the flow and thermal behavior of the compartment in a refrigerator, in which its cooling effect is based on diffusion-absorption technology. CFD was used to model and simulate the refrigerator. The main objective was to compare the thermal behavior of a plate-evaporator design with a finned surface (reference refrigerator) and a plate-evaporator with a smooth surface (proposed design). Moreover, the study was completed with the discussion about the velocity distribution and the pathlines of the temperature and velocity. This was also observed under the influence of the wired shelf location inside the compartment. Additionally, the performance of the refrigerator was evaluated. This study aims to expand our knowledge about the temperature and flow fields of this refrigerator model. Finally, the development of this work highlights the importance of the numerical simulation in the search for improvements in the design of this refrigerator model, which might help manufacturers of diffusion-absorption refrigerators.
