Frosting on the surface of a heat exchanger degrades its cooling efficiency in a cooling system. In this study, frost flow analysis is performed for frost reduction. A new type of air blast refrigerator is designed for reducing frost formation in its finned tube. Experimental results of the frost formation in the air blast refrigerator are presented. The main difference between the proposed and conventional air blast refrigerators is the flow of air through the finned tube. The proposed refrigerator produces less frost than the conventional refrigerators.
