Waste Heat Recovery from Domestic Refrigerator

The objective of this project was to evaluate the performance of refrigeration system when combined with condensing heat recovery system. The article includes a test procedure utilized to evaluate the condensing heat recovery system, relevant experimental results, a detail analysis of the mechanisms, and improvement measure on such a system. The experimental setup has been tested for various conditions like no load, full load and on seasons viz., summer, rainy and winter. The experimental results indicate that the Coefficient of performance increases well with the use of heat recovery system. Thus, the average cooling coefficient of performance (COP) of the system can be improved. The values of COP, power consumption, temperature rise of water have been calculated.
