In order to improve energy utilization efficiency, this paper attempts to establisli a tube structure optimization model for R125/R600a based on the coupling of heat transfer and pressure drop. The effects of evaporating temperature, tube diameter on the optimal tube length have been analyzed, and the theoretical model is verified. The results show that, for the smaller tube diameter evaporator, the optimal tube length is smaller, the structure is more compact, the heat transfer efficiency is higher, the weight is lighter, and flow resistance of both the refrigerant side and the cooling medium side are smaller. The optimal tube length increases with the increasing of evaporating temperature. Considering the impact of evaporating temperature, the optimal tube length has important practical significance of condenser structural optimization in air conditioners, refrigerators and heat pump systems (in different operating conditions).
