Abstract :
The aim of this work is to experimentally
investigate the performance of a domestic refrigerator to
minimise power with proper control of temperature. A
small fan is placed behind the defreezer, so as to convert
natural flow of cold air to forced flow of cold air which
eventually would result into more efficient cooling.
Different lengths of condenser were tested in order to
obtain reduction in power consumption. Among different
lengths of condenser better length of condenser is
selected and calculations are performed.Data are
collected in order to evaluate the refrigerator
performance. Each data was collected for a cycle of
operation for 1 hour, 2 hour, 3 hour and 24 hrs.Result
and analysis of Normal Refrigerator were compared
with new modified refrigerator on basis of power
consumption and COP. Power consumption decreased
from 218 watt/hr to 36 watt/hr with modified
refrigerator.
