Performance Evaluation of Serpentine Evaporator for Automotive Air Conditioning System

Performance of the improved serpentine evaporator for automotive air conditioner made with the NOCOLOK ® brazing technique is evaluated and compared with the conventional serpentine, plate fin, and fin-and-tube types, using a proposed method which combines the cooling capacity characteristic and pressure drop from blower to discharge air louvers for a typical duct system. Computer simulation results are also discussed.
