This　paper　presents　an　experimental　research　on　test　method　of　heat　transfer　coefficient　for　refrigerator　gasket.　An　experimental　apparatus　based　on　Reverse　Heat　Loss　Method　(RHLM)　was　established.　Tests　were　carried　out　on　three　distinct　refrigerators　to　develop　a　high　accuracy　and　repeatability　test　method.　To　ensure　the　accuracy　of　test,　heat　flux　test　zones　of　cabinet　walls　were　divided　strictly　in　conformity　with　the　thermal　resistance　distribution.　It　was　observed　that　the　deviations　of　the　heat　transfer　coefficient　were　less　than　+/-　5%,　by　using　small　volume　size　refrigerator　as　the　test　box　and　the　characteristic　heat　flux　method　to　simplify　the　test　zones.　Through　testing　gaskets　with　the　different　structures,　the　heat　transfer　coefficient　of　common　gasket　was　about　0.045　W/m　degrees　C.　The　results　also　indicate　that　the　auxiliary　air　cell,　multi-air　cells,　stiffener　and　auxiliary　edge　can　reduce　the　heat　leakage　of　gasket.　The　fan　in　the　cabinet　contributed　to　an　increase　of　about　17%　to　heat　leakage　of　gasket.　(C)　2019　Elsevier　Ltd　and　IIR.　All　rights　reserved.
