Evaporator Design

This document summarizes the specifications and calculations for an evaporator unit. It requires cooling 1.6 kW with a 22C temperature difference while handling 457 kg/hr of air at 370 CFM. The refrigerant is ammonia with a latent heat of vaporization of 200.15 kJ/kg at 6C. Calculations determine the evaporator needs a heat transfer area of 1.28 m2, or 16.58 ft2, with an overall heat transfer coefficient of 100 W/m2K. The design uses aluminum tubes and fins, with the tubes being 220mm long, 9.53mm outer diameter, and 0.762mm thick.
