This paper focuses on the simulation of refrigeration cycle equipped with the adiabatic capillary tube, which is widely used in small vapor compression refrigeration systems. The present simulation is based on fundamental conservation equations of mass, energy and momentum. These equations are solved through an iterative process. The adiabatic capillary tube model is based on homogeneous flow model. This model is used to understand the natural refrigerants flow behavior inside the adiabatic capillary tube. Transport properties and thermodynamic of natural refrigerants are calculated by using EES(Engineering Equation Solver) program. The operating factors considered in this paper include condensation temperature, evaporation temperature, inner diameter tube and sub-cooling degree of the adiabatic capillary tube. Our simulation results are summarized as follows: as the size of the inner diameter tube increases, the pressure drop in the capillary tube decreases while the length of the capillary tube increases. We found that R-290 decreases by 20-22% on average, and R-600a significantly decreases below 50%, while R-1270 increases 17-19% on average, compared to R-134a.
