Performance Analysis of Domestic Refrigerator with modified Evaporator using PCMC (Phase Change Material for Cooling) and Measure Cut-off Time of Compressor

Abstract

This paper aims to investigate the performance of domestic refrigerator with the use of phase
change material for cooling (PCMC). For experiment and analysis of system PCMC is
compared with water and readings were taken. For the easement of performance normal
refrigerator box is replace by a small size box. The results confirm that the use of PCMC is
advantageous to system in manner of increases in performance of refrigerator and also
economic point of view. To prove the concept, mainly cut-off time of compressor is focused
and whole analysis based on that.
