In this paper, plain fin-flat tube condenser was proposed to replace existing condenser for a household refrigerator. Existing condenser has a problem which occupies large space in the machine room of the refrigerator. Plain fin-flat tube condenser was designed and manufactured in this study. The volume of plain fin-flat tube condenser decreased by 69% compared with that of existing condenser. Performance tests of the new developed condenser and the refrigerator system adopting the condenser were also performed. As a result, heat capacity of the condenser and EER increased by 5.7% and 10.6% respectively.
