An Investigation Into The Influence Of Improved Refrigeration Cycle And Refrigerants On An Energy Efficient Domestic Refrigerator

Domestic refrigerator-freezers are very widely used for food preservation. There is still growing demand especially in developing countries like India. The growth rate in India for domestic refrigerators is about 15 percent. A large inventory of such appliances exists in India. In recent years, an emphasis is paid to improve the energy efficiency of domestic refrigerator-freezers have to reduce Green House Emissions. This paper presents, results of a study undertaken to look into some of the aspects, such as alternative refrigerants, liquid suction heat exchanger cycles and optimized refrigerant charge to improve energy efficiency of domestic refrigerator-freezers.
