Novel computational Design for Designing a Modified Condenser

Abstract

The most essential part of refrigeration and air conditioning is condenser because it cools the interior by transferring the internal heat of the system to surrounding using refrigerant as a medium. The Condenser design consists of copper tubes and fins of aluminium alloy 204. This current research focuses on a condenser design and compares its improvement with the recently used designs. Design adaptation is done by replacing wire fins with plates which are like arrangements of tubes running through that arrangement. Hence, condenser is a cross-flow heat exchanger which increase the heat transfer in the area exposed within its surroundings. Plate Arrangement make a channel that raise convective heat transfer coefficient and conclusively the rate of heat transfer. Conventional as well as the proposed design is a model on Solid works and this current research has employed the ANSYS technique for the analysis.. At the end, a theoretical comparison is carried out between conventional and adjusted designs to correlate the results of both designs on Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software.
