Previous issue date: 2015-09-11 / Os refrigeradores de uso dom?stico s?o equipamentos que apresentam uma parcela significativa do consumo de energia el?trica nas resid?ncias brasileiras. O uso destes equipamentos com baixa efici?ncia energ?tica contribui para o aumento do consumo de energia. A efici?ncia energ?tica de um refrigerador ? fun??o da intera??o o fluido refrigerante e os componentes do ciclo termodin?mico. Altera??es na carga e/ou natureza do refrigerante podem modificar as press?es de condensa??o e/ou evapora??o. A capacidade volum?trica do compressor, a vaz?o m?ssica de refrigerante e a pot?ncia de compress?o s?o par?metros dependentes das press?es de evapora??o e condensa??o. Assim, os dispositivos de expans?o exercem um papel importante no equil?brio destas press?es, sendo fundamentais para o melhor desempenho do ciclo de refrigera??o. A presente pesquisa experimental tem como prop?sito investigar a sensibilidade dos par?metros de desempenho de um refrigerador dom?stico operando com R134a e em diferentes press?es de evapora??o. Para tanto, um refrigerador de pequeno porte foi instrumentado com sensores de temperatura, de press?o e de outras vari?veis de interesse, instalados ao longo do circuito frigor?fico, de modo a permitir o mapeamento t?rmico e a avalia??o dos par?metros de desempenho do equipamento. A varia??o da perda de carga no fluido refrigerante resultante da atua??o da v?lvula de expans?o de ajuste microm?trico modifica a temperatura de evapora??o, influenciando sensivelmente os par?metros de desempenho do ciclo termodin?mico de refrigera??o. / Household refrigerators are equipments that represent a significant portion on the eletricity consumption of Brazilian homes. The use of these devices with low energy efficiency contributes to increase the energy consumption. The energy efficiency of a refrigerator is a function of the interaction between the coolant fluid and the components of the thermodynamic cycle. Changes in load and/or nature of the coolant may modify the condensing and/or evaporation pressures. The volumetric capacity of the compressor, the mass flow of coolant and the compression power are dependent parameters of the condensation and evaporation pressures. Thus, the expansion devices exert an importante role in the balance of these pressures, being fundamental for the better performance of the refrigeration cycle. This experimental research aims to investigate the sensitivity of the performance parameters of a household refrigerator operating with R134a and at different evaporation pressures. Therefore, a small refrigerator was instrumented with temperature, pressure sensors and other variables of interest, installed along the cooling circuit, in order to allow the thermal mapping and the evaluation of the equipment performance parameters. The variation of pressure loss in the coolant fluid resulting from the operation of the expansion valve with micrometric adjustment that modifies the evaporation temperature, influencing significantly the performance parameters of the thermodynamic refrigeration cycle.
