An AC condenser is a vitally important part of an air conditioning system that performs much of the cooling function. The condenser causes latent heat rejection by the refrigerant. The design of the condenser can vary from system to system. One of the most commonly used designs is the finned tube design. The material of the tubes and the fins, become the decisive factor in the rate of heat rejection and ultimately in the performance of the condenser. In this work, an air-cooled finned tube condenser is designed for a vapor compression cycle-based air conditioning system. The modeling is done using Solidworks and the fluid flow and heat transfer analysis are done in Ansys. To evaluate the effects of different materials on the performance of the condenser, copper is used as the tube material while, Aluminium alloys, 1060, 6060, and 7050 are used for fins. Two different types of refrigerants, namely, R32 and R134a have been used for analysis. Thermal analysis is done to determine the temperature distribution and heat flux for different sets of materials and different refrigerants. By comparing the results obtained with different combinations, the optimal combination can be determined.
