Abstract |
|
In this paper, a performance analysis of the condenser of two ton split air condition is carried out. Two ton split AC is mostly used in Domestic and small offices for cooling purpose, and in this a theoretical analysis is done using CFD. As a first step, modeling based on specifications is done. Then, Ansys 15 CFD TOOL is used for calculate heat rejection of the condenser. During analysis refrigerant is varied, and its effect on condenser is investigated. Also, theoretical analysis on the same lines has been developed. In this study, theoretical results obtained are compared with that obtained using CFD tool by drawing a graph for different Refrigerant. This is helpful to selecting the appropriate Refrigerant. The purpose of this paper is to give a better understanding of the condenser behavior under different refrigerant to improve Coefficient of Performance of AC unit. |
