ANALYSIS OF PCM MATERIAL IN HEAT TRANSFER SYSTEM

Abstract

It plays an important role refrigeration system helps to improve the overall performance or we can say it improves the coefficient of performance of the whole system. As we know that lots of refrigerator wide used household appliances and an excellent portion of energy is employed by these systems. With the use of Phase Change Material it becomes an easy task control temperature fluctuation and improvement of system performance is that the main reason of using phase change materials (PCMs) in refrigeration systems. It’s a totally different approaches are used to improve the thermal performance/Heat Managements of these systems by integration of PCM. Still a wide range of such study remains untouched in the application of PCM in domestic refrigerators is missing. This paper shows a new possibility to improve the system performance in the field of Domestic refrigeration systems. Moreover, benefits and drawbacks of each kind of storage are presents future possibilities and, the future and potential promising applications of PCMs in domestic refrigerators are mentioned. Its studyto investigate improve the performance improvement provided by a phase change material (PCM) associated with the condenser in a domestic refrigerator. The heat release and storage rate of a refrigerator is depends upon the characteristics of refrigerant and its properties. In this study we also investigated the performance improvement provided by Phase Change material associated with the evaporator in a domestic refrigerator.
