A case study on experimental and statistical analysis of energy consumption of domestic refrigerator

This paper presents the energy consumption analysis of the refrigerator and the effect of the condenser on it. According to the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), India, the energy efficiency of electric appliances is the key parameter for testing their performance before domestic use. For energy co...

According to the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), India, the energy efficiency of electric appliances is the key parameter for testing their performance before domestic use. For energy consumption analyses, the experimentation was conducted on the domestic refrigerator (165 L) top-mounted evaporator by retrofitting the refrigerator with an Elliptical Helical Coil Condenser (EHCC) and existing refrigerator with a Straight Tube Condenser (STC).
