Performance Improvement of VCRS Using Waste Heat Recovery Method

Abstract

The principle goal of this undertaken project is to enhance the coefficient of performance (COP) of a Refrigerator using waste heat recovery method. The issue right now is insufficient cooling of the condenser reduces the COP. The way to decrease abundance heat and the presentation examination is done by utilizing R134a and Hydrocarbon mixtures (R290 50% and R600a 50%) refrigerants. The technique utilized right now water cooled condenser arrangement is given and cooled utilizing water which is splashed in fog structure condenser. The water gets warmed by the waste warmth removed from the water cooled condenser and furthermore it decreases the condenser outlet temperature which builds the COP value. The final results obtained using the setup shows the COP value of refrigerator was increased in the condenser cooled by water than the condenser cooled by air.
