Abstract: The excellent performance in high efficiency and energy saving of refrigerator system is grounded on a well-designed heat exchanger. Based on the application background of heat exchanger in refrigerators, the most promising technology of refrigerator heat exchangers were investigated, including microchannel heat transfer, PCM, rotary heat transfer, grooved tube and far-infrared coating. Besides, as for the current issues of heat transfer enhancement, defrosting control and test-bench construction, this review summaries some latest research methods and solutions.
