Abstract:

In the last quarter of the century, a substantial amount of research work has been conducted on optimization of energy consumption by refrigeration systems and on proper design and construction of household refrigerator-freezers. The importance of such energy optimization schemes stems from the environmental impacts of Freon (R-12) used as the working refrigerant in household refrigerator – freezers as well as the enormous energy consumed by such appliances. International regulations for the replacement of Ozone-depleting refrigerants, such as the Montreal Protocol, as well as the Iranian regulations regarding reduced energy consumption of energy consuming products have motivated research on the optimum design of household refrigerator-freezers. In this paper, research works aimed at analytical modeling and also the experimental works conducted to determine design methods of energy efficient refrigerator- freezers in Iran will be presented. Using the numerical method developed for this purpose, a parametric analysis of the components of a refrigerator-freezer manufactured in Iran will be presented and the reduced energy consumption by the selected appliance and its increased efficiency will be discussed. The influence of replacing R-12 with its substitute refrigerant (R-134a) on the energy consumption and efficiency of the typical refrigerator is also presented.

Simulation of the Transient Behavior of Household Refrigerators and Freezers

Due to their contribution to the ozone depletion and the anthropogenic greenhouse warming effect caused by the refrigerant as well as the foam blowing agent household refrigerators and freezers were attracting public attention especially in Western Europe. The conversion to the use of environmentally benign fluids as refrigerants and foam blowing agents requires a large number of extensive, exp...

Comparison Of Energy Consumption Of Ventilated And Natural Convection Evaporators Of Refrigerators And Freezers

Forced convection on heat exchangers yields to higher heat exchange coefficient and so permits to limit the temperature difference between air and the evaporator. Higher energy performances of the refrigerating cycle is affordable compared to natural convection evaporators. In Europe, many refrigerators and freezers integrate natural convection heat exchangers. Making a review of the actual ene...
