Abstract. Correct design and choice of vaporizers are very important for<br />

refrigeration systems proper operation and for their efficiency. A wrong sized<br />

vaporizer may produce an excessive decrease of the vaporization temperature,<br />

and reducing it with every degree corresponds to a reduction in cooling power<br />

with approx. 3…4%. This is why the vaporizer can not be dissociated from its<br />

liquid supply system. In practice, often a proper rebound refrigerant corresponds<br />

to each type of vaporizer. The measurements for vaporizers with the rib step<br />

between 2 mm and 3.5 mm were performed on the Thermotechnics Laboratory<br />

stand from the Faculty of Mechanics of Craiova. The most pronounced air<br />

cooling occurs for the rib step value equal to 2 mm. So, it is confirmed the<br />

statement that the rib step has to be chosen for each type of heat exchanger, after<br />

carefully testing on laboratory stands.<br />

Key words: vaporizer, refrigeration system, rib step.<br />

1. Introduction<br />

Vaporization is the thermodynamic process through which the refrigerant<br />

changes its state of aggregation from liquid to vapors, absorbing heat from the<br />

cold source represented by the cooled environment. In any refrigeration<br />

machine the vaporizer is the unit absorbing heat, achieving the machine useful<br />

effect.<br />
