Excessive use of global energy sources causes negative environmental impacts and a reduction in the available energy resources. Therefore, energy efficiency is the main scope of engineering studies. Since household refrigeration accounts for a large portion of the energy consumption rate in buildings, several innovative techniques have been developed to improve the energy efficiency of vapor compression refrigeration systems. Suction line heat exchangers are considered one of these techniques and they are used to avoid the presence of liquid at the compressor and to prevent sweating on the suc ...Daha fazlası
