Optimization of Air Conditioner Condenser Using R404 to Improve Heat Transfer Rate

Air conditioning systems have condenser that expels undesirable heat from the refrigerant and exchanges that heat outside. The essential part of a condenser is regularly the condenser coil, through which the refrigerant flows. Since, the AC condenser coil contains refrigerant that retains heat from the encompassing air, the refrigerant temperature must be higher than the air. In this paper, an air cooled condenser is designed and modeled in 3D modeling software Pro/Engineer. Present utilized material for tube is copper and for fins is Aluminum Alloy 204. In this paper, the tube material is copper, but the fins materials taken are Aluminum alloys 1100, 6063 whose thermal conductivities are more than that of Aluminum alloy 204.Thermal analysis is done to determine the heat transfer rate by changing the fin material. The refrigerant considered is R404 . Thermal analysis is done in simulation module of Solid works, Cosmosworks.The best material and best fluid for the condenser can be checked by comparing the results. Pro/Engineer is a parametric 3D modeling software and Cosmos works is analysis software.
