5.0 FABRICATION DETAILS
5.1 THE EXTERNAL CABINET AND MATERIAL SELECT
As a result of reducing the cost of the project, an existing cabinet was purchased.
The dimension of the cabinet is 124500m x 9150mm. The aim is to achieve a minimum cost of the project.
5.2 INSULATION
Insulation is very important and required to prevent heat leakage in the cabinet from the warm surrounding. Since heat flow from region of high temperature to that of low temperature, the heat gain will lead to a loss in the system capacity.
Heat can leak into the cabinet by radiation, convection and conduction. To reduce the radiation of heat transfer, the outer mild steel is followed by; layer of fiber glass used. The fiber glass has a low thermal conductivity (k) value for 0.043w/k and it is a good thermal insulator.
2.1 Evaporator
Evaporator consists of a copper and aluminum sheets. The cooling fect is transferred from the copper pipe to the aluminum (which is a good )flductor of heat) and finally to the material in the freezer.

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]ABSTRACTThis project is on the design and fabrication of deep freezer for the preservation of items/products and making the items to cool. The project is able to develop a simple efficient economical and environmental friendly refrigeration system (A freezer) towards better technological advancement in Nigeria. This project modifies the existing refrigeration system with the use of R-600a which is ozone friendly, and non-contaminant like previous refrigerant of the hydrofluoric-carbon, HFC and C ...

CHAPTER TWO - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]CHAPTER TWO2.0 LITERATURE REVIEWRefrigeration is branch of engineering that is concerned with the science of producing and maintaining temperature below that of the surrounding atmosphere [Raymond, C.G. (1973)]. It also the process of removing heat from the substance.Before the advent of mechanical refrigeration, water was kept cool by storing in semi-porous pots, so that the water could seep through and evaporate. The evaporation carried away heat and cooled the water [Raymond, C.G. (1 97 ... Continue reading---
CHAPTER THREE - [ Total Page(s): 5 ]3.3.4 CAPILLARY TUBEThis device operate on the principle that a given weight of refrigerant liquid will pass through a capillary more readily than the same weight of gas will do at the same pressure. Immediately the condensed refrigerant enters the capillary tube, the mass flow of this refrigerant will be reduced them by giving more room for cooling time.ADVANTAGE OF THE TYPES OF CAPILLARY TUBE USED FOR THIS PROJECT LIES INa. Its simplicityb. Ease of being welded to the suction for heat exchangi ... Continue reading---
CHAPTER FOUR - [ Total Page(s): 5 ]4.3.1 TYPES OF EVAPORATOREvaporators are mainly classified as:i. The dry or direct expansion typeii. The flooded type.I. THE DRY OR DIRECT EXPANSION TYPEA part of the heat transfer surface is used for superheating the vapor. Therefore refrigerant leaves the coil in a dry state that is as a dry vapor. [Althouse, A. D(1968)].II. THE FLOODED TYPEIf flooded evaporators, the liquid refrigerant covers the entire heat- surface. As the liquid refrigerant leaves the evaporator, any l ... Continue reading---
