Study and Comparison of Micro Channel Condenser with Metal Foam & Round Tube Finned Heat Exchanger
Keywords:
Microchannel condenser, RefrigerationAbstract
The microchannel condenser requires less space as compared to regular condenser and it also requires less amount of refrigerant. More surface area is available to reject the heat to surrounding air as thin tubes are used in micro channel condenser. The purpose of the present study is to develop a setup of a refrigeration system with micro channel condenser, performance comparison of conventional heat exchangers. For its performance, refrigeration set up is done to detect experimental performance of microchannel condenser. In this paper performance analysis of microchannel condenser is compared with coil tube. The analysis results on the micro channel condenser can be more effective at various loads and operating conditions. For review purpose, same size of micro channel and round tube condenser are considered. Also C.O.P & Efficiency of microchannel can be more with less usage of refrigerants.
