PCM, COP, Frozen Food, Energy UsageAbstract:
Domestic refrigerators are widely used household appliances and a large extent of energy is consumed by this system. A phase change material is a substances that can store or release significant amount of heat energy by changing the phase liquid to vapour or vice versa. So, reduction of temperature fluctuation and improvement of system performances is that main reason of using PCM enhances the heat transfer rate thus improves the COP of refrigeration as well as the quality frozen food. The release and storage rate of a refrigerator is depends upon the characteristics of refrigerators and its properties using phase change material for a certain thermal load it is found that COP of conventional refrigerator is increased . The phase change material used in chamber built manually and which surrounds the evaporator chamber of a conventional refrigerator the whole heat transfer for load given to refrigerator cabin (to evaporator) evaporator to phase change material by conduction. This system hence improves the performances of household refrigerator by increasing its compressor cut-off time and thereby minimizing electrical energy usage. The main objective is to improve the performance, cooling time period, storage capacity and to maintain the constant cooling effect for more time during power cut off hours using phase change material.
