A review of the performance of domestic refrigerators [PDF]

Journal of Food Engineering, 2008
This paper reviews the published data on the performance and use of domestic refrigerators throughout the world in the last 30 years. While there is considerable legislation defining maximum temperatures during the production, distribution and retailing of chilled food, as soon as the consumer purchases the food, it is outside of any of these ...

ENERGY PERFORMANCE OF HYDROCARBON REFRIGERANT AS A POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVE REFRIGERANT TO R134A IN DOMESTIC REFRIGERATORS [PDF]

Journal of Al-Azhar University Engineering Sector, 2019
The performance of a domestic refrigerator is theoretically assessed in this study. Therefrigerator utilizes R1234yf as an alternative refrigerant for R134a. The performance isevaluated for three condensing temperatures, specifically, 30, 40, and 50°C at differentevaporator temperatures, ranging −30 and 0°C.

Modelling refrigerating compartment of frost-free domestic refrigerators [PDF]

Global NEST Journal, 2013
This paper is focussed on the study of the air movement and temperature distribution inside refrigerating compartment of household frost-free refrigerators. It is well known that the correct air circulation and temperature distribution inside the refrigerated chamber are two of the most important factors that affect refrigerator efficiency.

Effects of Environmental and Health Information on Willingness to Pay for Local and Organic Foods in Taiwan

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using a lab‐in‐the‐field experiment, we investigate how providing information about food miles and pesticide residue influences willingness to pay (WTP) for potatoes among 407 shoppers in Taiwan, split between a supermarket and a farmers market.

Reconfiguring Fresh Produce Supply Chains in Response to Drought Risk: Evidence From the U.S. Broccoli Market

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drought is among the most severe and persistent threats to food supply chains, and relocating production to less drought‐prone regions offers a strategy to reduce this risk. This is particularly relevant for fresh vegetables, which are highly water‐intensive, yet drought‐driven reconfiguration strategies remain understudied.

Descriptive, comparative, and functional anatomy of the facial musculature in cattle (Bos taurus)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Facial expressions can provide insight into animal emotions and pain, but no standardized system for assessing the entire facial display in cattle (Bos taurus Linnaeus) exists. The Facial Action Coding System (FACS), originally developed for humans, identifies distinct facial movements based on mimetic muscles.

Theoretical analysis of a Low GWP Refrigerants as a Drop in substitute of R134a in a Domestic Refrigerator [PDF]

Iranica Journal of Energy and Environment, 2018
Now a days Fridges and Air-conditioners are mostly used in domestic environment. The CFCs have been almost ruled out since 1995 due to their huge impact on the ozone layer, due to the above problem HFC refrigerants are introduced but these are having a ...
