Experimental investigation of heat losses of the refrigerator gasket and designing a new gasket section to prevent external condensation

Condensation may occur on the outer surfaces of the cooling devices in high humidity ambient. Especially the refrigerator door gasket insulation and flexibility is really critical and that needs to be designed well. This master's thesis was modeled by experimental analysis of the thermal temperature distribution and critical points of a refrigerator gasket. In order to influence the structure of the temperature distribution at certain points, various air chambers have been formed in the seal section. The effect of these air chambers' location and average temperatures on the outside of the gasket was observed and the temperature of the potential condensation zone was increased.
