Abstract

In this study, the characteristics of flow in outdoor unit were numerically analyzed. Parametric studies were performed to compare the effect of bell mouth height, fan height and fan width concerned with flow rate. The result indicated that the flow rate was dependent on the bell mouth height, while it was negligibly affected by the fan height and fan width. The fan width was found to affect the velocity distribution at heat exchanger face.
