Abstract

This paper presents a numerical evaluation of the flow rate of air conditioner outdoor unit as function of shroud design parameters. To determine the optimal design parameters, we investigated the flow rate by changing bell mouth height, fan height, fan guide height, fan width. The evaluation of the relative priority of the design parameters was performed to choose three important parameters in order to use a response surface method. The flow rate of the optimum model, compared to that of the base model, was increased by about 6.25%.
