Numerical investigation of the thermal efficiency of glass refrigeration doors

摘要

Infiltration occurs when warm, moist air from the outside environment becomestrapped inside the refrigerated compartment. Glass doors on a refrigerateddisplay case create a sealed unit keeping the majority of the warm, moist airout.This paper presents a numerical investigation into the thermal efficiency ofdisplay refrigeration doors.This is achieved by varying a number of features and evaluating their thermalperformance. An introduction into the background and context of the work to beundertaken is presented. A literature review is provided, outlining the previouswork completed in this field. In the final stages of this report an appropriatemethodology, risk assessment, realistic timelines and resource requirementsare specified.
