ABSTRACT!

Refrigerator has become an essential commodity rather than luxury item. It is one of the home appliance ukkigg, vapour compression cycle in it process. Performance of this system becomes main issue and many researches are still ongoing to evaluate and improve efficiency of the system. This study presents effect of evaporative condenser on COP of domestic refrigerator. The purpose of this article is to compare the COP of refrigerator by

using air cooled condenser and evaporative condenser of same length and same diameter.

This experiment is carried out on domestic refrigerator (185 ikr4 test rig. In this study, an innovative, evaporative condenser for residential refrigerator was introduced. A yaw compression cycle incorporating the proposed evaporative condenser was tested to evaluate the cycle performance. To allow for evaporative cooling, sheets of cloth were wrapped around condenser to suck the water sprayed on it. The thermal properties at the different points of the refrigeration cycle were measured for typical operating conditions.

Further to compare both the condensers some parameters like condenser outlet temperature, evaporator inlet temperature, power consumption have taken. After investigation it was found that evaporative condenser may replace the air cooled condenser from domestic refrigerator
