초록

With the increasing need for environmental protection, it is particularly important to improve the energy saving and reliability of refrigerators. Generally, the cold air flowing into the freezer compartment transits to the bottom of the refrigerating compartment, which can lead to uneven temperature distribution. This paper proposes two design solutions for improving the temperature distribution problem. Of these, the optimal refrigeration design was selected and tested using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling and simulation. The results showed improved uniformity of the temperature distribution inside the refrigerator, thus benefitting food storage while reducing energy consumption.
