Abstract

The paper analyzes the various factors that cause failure of refrigerator evaporator. The refrigerator evaporator failure spectrum is constructed through qualitative analysis of the fault tree system after building a corresponding fault tree system. There is an analysis procedure of fault tree system based on computer aided fault tree analysis system (CAFTA).

Keywords: Computer aided modeling, fault tree analysis, refrigerator, reliability.
