Heat Transfer Characteristics of Flooded Type Evaporator for Seawater Cooling System

In these days, many studies on ocean fisheries have been conducted for developing their own industries. Especially, the efforts of using seawater cooling system were actively conducted to keep the caught fisheries fresh, increase the catches, and decrease the manpower. The purpose of this study is to suggest design criteria of seawater cooling system using the flood-type evaporator. In this study, the seawater cooling system using flooded-type evaporator was manufactured as a prototype capacitating 15kW. This study examined performance of the seawater cooling system and then compared the performance with the system capacitating 163kW and 238kW, which is actually being loaded on the fishery boats. In addition, heat transfer characteristics of the flooded-type evaporator used in the equipment are analysed.
