Abstract:

The freezer chamber of a BCDT90W type frost-free refrigerator was chosen as a research object, and digital particle image velocimetry (DPIV) technology was adopted to investigate the flow fields in the freezer chamber of a transparent refrigerator model. The physical model of the freezer chamber was constructed based on the similarity theory and the hexahedron grid was applied to discretize the computational domain. The intake fan outlet velocity distribution was regarded as the inlet boundary condition, and the 3-D turbulence RNG k-Ε mathematical model for the inner flow was established. The SIMPLEC algorithm was applied to deal with coupling between velocity and pressure. The numerical simulation results agree well with the DPIV measurement results, which indicates that the present mathematical model is correct. The numerical simulation and experiment results show that the flow field in the first chest was favorable for obstructing the heat transfer though the surrounding walls. The relative difference of center velocity between the two symmetrical supply air opening jets of the second chest approached 28%, leading to a serious non-uniform temperature distribution in the chest. The supply air opening jets had a short circuit in the third chest obviously.
