Enhancements in domestic refrigeration, approaching a sustainable refrigerator – A review

Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2015
Abstract The refrigerator is an essential domestic appliance product and is available worldwide. Additionally, the technologies on which the majority of refrigerators are based involve high energy consumption, and environmental deterioration due to the type of energy input and the use of certain work fluids.

Domestic refrigerators: recent developments

International Journal of Refrigeration, 1996
Abstract The refrigerator/freezer is one of the most important and the biggest energy-consuming home appliances. There are several literature references that discuss the historical development of refrigeration 1–14 . Most of them, however, consider historical highlights up to several decades ago. This paper summarizes recent developments in the field

Determination of optimum refrigerant charge for domestic refrigerator units

International Journal of Refrigeration, 1984
Abstract A method is given of assessing the optimum refrigerant (R12) charge for domestic refrigerators employing a capillary tube expansion device. This amound of refrigerant was found to depend mostly on the volumes of the evaporator and condenser in broad accordance with an earlier theoretical analysis which, however, tended to overestimate the ...

Testing of the mixing refrigerants HFC152a/HFC125 in domestic refrigerator

Applied Thermal Engineering, 2005
Abstract The performances of a refrigeration cycle of a 1,1-difluoroethane/pentafluoroethane (HFC152a/HFC125) mixture used as a refrigerant for domestic refrigerators were calculated and analyzed in detail. The results of the theoretical analysis indicate that the HFC152a/HFC125 mixture in the composition of 0.85 mass fraction of HFC152a has a ...

Performance Analysis of a Domestic Refrigerator Using R134a and R600a Refrigerant

2021 International Conference on Automation, Control and Mechatronics for Industry 4.0 (ACMI), 2021
This paper presents an experimental study on performance of a domestic vapor compression refrigeration system using two different refrigerants, R600a (Isobutane) and R134a (Tetrafluoroethane). Two different compressors were used in this experiment and the input power of both compressors was 270W.

Safety testing of domestic refrigerators using flammable refrigerants

International Journal of Refrigeration, 2004
Abstract A domestic refrigerator with flammable refrigerant was tested according to the methods specified in the safety Standard, IEC/EN 60335-2-24. The tests were all carried out as specified in the Standard. Some of the test specifications were straightforward but some tests ambiguous and gave different results depending on the method used.

The temperature performance of domestic refrigerators

International Journal of Refrigeration, 1992
Abstract The domestic refrigerator is one of the most common household appliances, but little data have been published on its temperature performance. Investigations made under controlled conditions have shown that temperature distributions within empty storage compartments vary between different types of refrigerator.

Application of nanoparticles in domestic refrigerators

Applied Thermal Engineering, 2008
Abstract The reliability and performance of a domestic refrigerator with nanoparticles in the working fluid was investigated experimentally. Mineral oil with TiO2 nanoparticles mixtures were used as the lubricant instead of Polyol-ester (POE) oil in the 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (HFC134a) refrigerator.
