A case study on experimental and statistical analysis of energy consumption of domestic refrigerator Sanjaykumar A. Borikar, Mahendra M. Gupta, Mashhour A. Alazwari, Prateek D. Malwe, Essam B. Moustafa, Hitesh Panchal, Ammar Elsheikh Case Studies in Thermal Engineering, 2021 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 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). Box-Behnken Design (BBD) is very significant in determining the significant factor and reducing the number of experiments. BBD has been performed to analyze the significance of factors ambient temperature, fresh food compartment temperature and the heat load in energy consumption, and the Coefficient of Performance (COP) of a refrigerator. The heat load and the ambient temperature are both very significant in determining the refrigerator's energy consumption. The most important thing is to increase the liquid content in the charge before it is supplied to the evaporator to extract more amount of heat to increase the cooling effect. The ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) results show that the ambient temperature and the heat load were more significant in increasing energy consumption and decreasing the COP and vice versa. The results of ANOVA and the experiment are very close; the R2 value 0.995 precisely matches the R2 adj. value 0.994. The statistical analysis using the Box-Behnken design produces a good fitting of the modeled and experimental data set. The present study aims to examine the effects of said factors and the condenser on the domestic refrigerator's energy consumption and COP. The study exhibits some enhancement in the COP to 2.59 contrary to 2.45 and energy consumption reduced to 1191 Wh from 1755 Wh during the trial of 24 h.

Review on performance and energy efficiency improvement in domestic refrigerator Sanjaykumar A. Borikar, Mahendra M. Gupta Aip Conference Proceedings, 2018 This article sets forth a study to identify and summaries the various techniques for improving the performance (COP) and energy efficiency of the domestic refrigerators. The techniques which are used for improving the performance, such as use of the suction line heat exchanger (SLHX), thermal storage materials (PCMs) and variation in a geometric configuration of the refrigerator condensers. The main purpose of this study to quantify the influence of these techniques for performance and energy efficiency of the refrigerators and to develop an energy efficient refrigerator. The previous results indicate that these techniques have a positive influence on performance and energy efficiency of the refrigerators. This article comments that the use of such techniques can improve the performance (COP) and energy efficiency up to 30% compared to the existing refrigerator configuration.
Experimental investigation of domestic refrigeration with helical coil tube condenser Sanjaykumar A. Borikar, Mahendra M. Gupta Aip Conference Proceedings, 2018 This article reports an experimental study on the energy efficiency of domestic refrigerator with a helical coil condenser (Elliptical configuration with a minor axis 76mm and major axis 381mm) and conventional refrigerator. The Elliptical configuration of condenser coil helps to improve the turbulence of the fluid (both refrigeration and air side). The air side turbulence in elliptical configuration is more than conventional condenser. This increases the heat transfer rate and correspondingly the sub-cooling of the refrigerant after the condenser. The results show that the heat loss is increased in refrigerator B compared to other two configurations and energy consumption per day is decreasing for same operating conditions.
