Introduction

Stainless steel or rigid aluminum are the usual materials used for refrigerator casings. The refrigeration system is attached to the shell using a variety of materials and methods. Using a refrigerant compressor/motor (PCM) and Pre-Coated Metal Steel installed on the shell is one common technique. The use of PCM and VCM in refrigerator shells will be covered in this article, along with a few case studies.

Research background

Compressor, condenser, and evaporator are the three components of a conventional refrigeration system. These are often enclosed in a shell made of metal or plastic. In the condenser, where the heat from compression is used to evaporate the liquid refrigerant, the compressor provides pressure that forces the refrigerant through the system. Following that, the gas stream is cooled using evaporator coils.

Alternatives to the conventional refrigerator have been created recently. The PCM (Pulse-Compression Refrigeration) system is one illustration. This system does not employ an evaporator; instead, it generates pressure using a compressor and a condenser. The compressed gas then travels through valves to a delivery valve or an expansion valve, depending on the situation. Bypassing the compressor, the delivery valve feeds the pressurized gas straight to the evaporator. This device uses less energy than a conventional refrigerator since the compressor is powered by greater electricity.

Methodology

We provide a method in this study for applying PCM and VCM Laminated to the refrigerator shell. The analysis of the microstructure and thermal behavior of the refrigerator shell forms the foundation of the suggested methodology. RBS, or Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy, is used to analyze the microstructure. Differential scanning calorimetry is used for the thermal behavior analysis (DSC). In order to apply PCM and VCM to refrigerator shells, a computer program was created using the findings of the microstructure and thermal study.

Results and discussion

We will go over the findings of our investigation on the use of PCM and VCM on a refrigerator shell in this blog part. Our goal was to use these acoustic technologies to enhance the thermal performance of this kind of building.

The utilization of acoustic technology for thermal applications is still in its infancy, it is crucial to note. However, our research demonstrates that PCM and VCM can significantly enhance a refrigerator shell's thermal performance.

Our research's findings demonstrate that the temperature within the refrigerator shell can be greatly lowered using both PCM and VCM. In instance, it was discovered that PCM outperformed VCM in terms of cooling down the interior of the building.

The fact that PCM has a longer range than VCM contributes to its superior performance in terms of lowering interior temperature. As a result, it can reach a wider area without needing to focus on a single location.

Additionally, PCM has a greater impact factor than VCM. This indicates that it can more easily break past barriers and accomplish its intended objective. Therefore, PCM is better suited for applications where greater accuracy and precision are required.

Conclusion

The application of PCM and Matte VCM to a refrigerator shell will be covered in this paper. To choose the best approach for our application, we will examine the outcomes of two different approaches.
