Optimization of Defrosting Refrigerators and Ice Making Processes

摘要-- CTS-9321918 Bejan 建议的研究重点是确定最佳的开/关顺序的电冰箱，在努力减少功率需求。 结果将包括连续运行和间歇运行的最佳时间间隔，以及在蒸发器和冷凝器之间划分固定量的热交换器面积的最佳方式。 还提出了通过最佳地选择操作的开/关顺序来优化制冰过程，即，冷冻和除冰的时间间隔。 将优化两种制造方法，即管上冰和管内冰。 这项工作将进行分析，数值和实验。

ABSTRACT -- CTS-9321918 Bejan The proposed research focuses on the determination of the optimal on/off sequence for defrosting refrigerators, in an effort to minimize the power requirement. The results will include the optimal time intervals of continuous operation and defrosting, and the optimal way to divide a fixed amount of heat exchanger area between the evaporator and the condenser. It is also proposed to optimize the ice making process by optimally selecting the on/off sequence of operation, i.e., the time intervals for freezing and ice removal. Two manufacturing methods will be optimized, ice on tube and ice in tube. The work will be performed analytically, numerically, and experimentally.
