The refrigerator/freezer is one of the most important and the biggest energy-consuming
home appliances. There are several literature references that discuss the historical …

The performance of a propane/isobutane (R290/R600a) mixture was examined for domestic
refrigerators. A thermodynamic cycle analysis indicated that the propane/isobutane mixture …

Amidst tightening requirements for eliminating CFC's, HCFC's, halons, and HFC's from use
in air conditioning and heat pumps, the search began for replacements that are …

A computational model with the objective of simulating the performance of an ideal
automotive air conditioning system, working with several refrigerants, is presented. The main …

This paper presents the validation of a design model for vapour compression refrigeration
systems developed by Akintunde (2004a). This model was used to design a vapour …

Featured Application Design of high performance refrigerator. Abstract Recently, many
refrigerators of high have been designed so as to improve the performance of the …

Most domestic refrigerators and freezers use CFC-11 as the blowing agent for the
polyurethane foam which insulates and provides structural support for the appliance. CFC …

The performance of a vapour‐compression system was examined with both R12/mineral oil
and R134a/mineral oil charges. The mineral oil was then removed from the system using a …

Lubrication properties of refrigeration lubricants were investigated in high pressure
nonconforming contacts under different conditions of temperature, rolling speed, and …
