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 …

Microchannel heat exchangers (MHXs), develop thin boundary layers owing to interruptive
surfaces that break up and reform the boundary layers. However, once frosting occurs, the …

In refrigeration applications, frost build-up on the evaporator surfaces depletes the thermal-
hydraulic performance due to an increase in the thermal resistance and the blockage of the …

The topic of frost formation on the heat exchanger surface has been gaining interest since
the late 1940s. Scientists and industrial engineers from many scientific and R&D units …

A first-principles model was used together with experimental data obtained in-house to
validate a semi-empirical modeling approach for predicting frost accretion on hydrophilic …

Reducing food waste demands improvements in refrigeration systems. Furthermore, the rise
of temperatures worldwide demands more capable and efficient refrigeration equipment …

This work is aimed at the optimal design (ie number of transversal and longitudinal tube
rows, number of fins) of fan-supplied tube-fin evaporators for light commercial refrigeration …

This work is focused on the optimal sizing of fan-supplied tube-fin evaporators for light
commercial refrigerators operating under frosting conditions. Quasi-steady-state algebraic …

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 …

It is widely known that defrosting operation on commercial refrigerators is one of the main
causes of inefficiency on these systems. Several defrosting methods are used nowadays …
