ABSTRACT An Evaporator is the Main component of Air-conditioning system. An evaporator is mainly used in different refrigeration and air-conditioning applications in food and beverage industry, in the pharmaceutical industry etc. An evaporator in air conditioning system is used to evaporate liquid and convert in to vapour while absorbing heat in the processes, this paper presents the study of the fin tube type Evaporator; An Experimental data were collected from the IC ICE MAKE Company. After collecting data of fin tube evaporator model is prepared using solid works. At the end, FEA analysis is carried out on it using ANSYS CFX, The result of analysis is compared with Experimental result. 3.7% variation found in both results. Key words: Fin-tube Evaporator, Experimental Data, Solid-Works, ANSYS-CFX, FEA 1. INTRODUCTION An evaporator is used in an air-conditioning system or refrigeration system to allow a compressed cooling chemical, such as Freon or R-22, to evaporate from liquid to gas while absorbing heat in the process. It can also be used to remove water
