This paper reviews the results of frosting, defrosting and frost management research that
have been reported over the past fifty years. The literature can be split into three categories …

This work thoroughly analyses the developments in dynamic modelling for vapor
compression refrigeration (VCR)/heat pump (HP) systems described in the open literature. In …

Compact tube-fin evaporators have been extensively used in refrigeration cassettes for light
commercial applications. Such refrigeration systems are space constrained and, therefore …

The present paper investigates the frost formation on air-supplied tube-fin evaporator coils
under typical operating conditions of light commercial refrigerating appliances. To this end, a …

A thorough literature review indicates that there is a dearth of modeling studies on the
defrosting dynamics of air source heat pumps (ASHPs) due to the complex underlying …

Modern refrigerators are equipped with fan-supplied evaporators often tailor-made to
mitigate the impacts of frost accretion, not only in terms of frost blocking, which depletes the …

This paper compares the energy performance and economics of a direct two-stage ammonia
system to an ammonia–carbon dioxide cascade system for low temperature (below− 40° C) …

Condensation method is comprehensively applied for gasoline vapor recovery (GVR), of
which frosts in the heat exchanger is the greatest challenge, especially for the continuous …

This thesis presents the development of an advanced modeling framework for the transient
simulation of vapor compression systems. This framework contains a wide range of …

This paper presents an experimental and numerical study to evaluate the thermal-hydraulic
performance of light commercial capacity evaporators operating under frosting conditions. A …
