Abstract

Domestic refrigerator is used in almost every household for preserving food, cooling water, freezing ice and many more. This research is done on a domestic refrigerator which is powered by solar panel. It is an attempt to analyze the effect of COP on a refrigerator. This experiment is conducted on a domestic refrigerator in which extra D.C. axial fans have been fitted in the back panel of refrigerator and these extra fitted fans cool the condenser faster than that of without fan. Therefore, the heat transfer from the condenser is more. In this experiment it is found that average coefficient of performance (COP) of domestic refrigerator with D.C. axial fans is higher than that of without D.C. axial fans by 0.038 in the studied range. This increment in COP is obtained due to the extra fans fitted in the back panel. It is also observed that the refrigeration effect (RE) of refrigerator with fan is about 7.02% higher than that of without fan.
