A model capable of simulating evaporators with multiple modules under frosting conditions was developed, validated, and used to optimize a display case system. Effects of geometry on fan and compressor power consumption were quantified, and some general guidelines for designing display case evaporators were developed. These general guidelines were used to design more efficient prototypes for a given external load, keeping in mind the packaging restrictions and constraints on tube and fin availabilities. The performance of these new prototypes was compared to the original baseline, and on the basis of these comparisons, recommendations for further improvement of display case systems are made.
