The numerical simulation and experimental methods were used to study the efficiency of flow distribution and pressure drop of the micro-channel evaporators with parallel flow. R134a was as the working fluid. The results show that: with the same deflector structure
as the open area of holes in the deflector increased
the pressure drop of the evaporator decreased
while the flow distribution uniformity of refrigerant deteriorated
but the cooling capacity of evaporator is first increased and then decreased. There is an optimum open area of holes in deflector to the micro-channel evaporator with parallel flow
then the pressure drop and flow distribution uniformity get to the best matching
lead to the cooling capacity being the max. For the micro-channel evaporator with parallel flow type
the optimum open area of holes in the first deflector is about 150.7mm2.
