Abstract

Most of the refrigeration systems being used worldwide runs on the compression systems that produce the net refrigeration effect. These refrigeration systems operates on the principle of reverse Carnot cycle according to which some heat must be rejected at higher temperature. This cycle can be utilized to conserve some of the heat and use it for heating purpose. In this experimental work, we have built a refrigeration system with an additional condenser unit which is used to store some of the heat. This technique can be applied to the domestic refrigerators in which the frozen food products can be warmed and melted before cooking them. Adding the condenser is supposed to bring down the net COP of the system, this analysis is still left to be done. It is observed that the net heat conserved overshadows the decrease in the COP of the system.
