Comparison of Laminated Evaporator With fin and Tube Evaporator Applied in Refrigerated Cars

Abstract

The structure of a laminated evaporator used in automobile air conditioning system was improved.Then the heat transfer and flow characteristics of the laminated evaporator applied in refrigerated cars were compared with those of the fin and tube evaporator using the numerical simulation method.The result shows that the laminated evaporator was more compact and had better heat transfer performance than the fin and tube evaporator under refrigeration conditions.
