Air conditioning

Refrigeration

The objective of this research focuses on the numerical solution, simulation, and thermal behavior of the refrigerants R32 and R600a, the first being an industrial refrigerant and the other a hydrocarbon, the element to be studied is the internal temperature of a vehicle cabin, the air crosses the evaporator of the air conditioning system by analyzing the coil-type crossflow heat exchanger. Likewise, it is important to know the energy capacity that each refrigerant has to cool or heat the vehicle cabin to, after a mathematical analysis, contrast the information through numerical simulation of CFD fluids with specialized software in this case Fluent from ANSYS.
