Characteristics of refrigerant hold-up and heat transfer performance of falling film condenser under refrigerating condition
In order to reduce the refrigerant charging quantity while maintaining the performance of an air conditioner
the refrigerant hold-up in the condenser of a domestic air conditioner is experimentally studied. The results indicate that more than 60% of the total refrigerant charging quantity is in the condenser
since the liquid-phase hold-up in the two-phase and subcooled regions is relatively large. Therefore
a finned tube falling film condenser is proposed and employed since vertical tubes can decrease the refrigerant hold-up. Consequently
the total refrigerant charging quantity is reduced from 1050 g to 550 g while the system performance maintains stable.
