Experimental assessment and semi empirical estimation of frost accretion—A case study on a spine-finned inverted-V tube array evaporator

Present work focuses on frost accretion in a spine-finned inverted-V tube array evaporator. An experimental evaluation was performed using a standard issue, vertical top-mount, 18 cubic feet, 0.5 m3, refrigerator. Evaporator temperature distribution, inner airflow velocity, and relative humidity wer...
