Abstract

The study deals with hybrid refrigerator that combines thermoelectric (TER) and vapor compression refrigeration (VCR) and also entail experimental details of combined VCR & TER system. Objective is to configure hybrid refrigerator by introducing two Peltier modules (TER) in domestic refrigerator and to analyze compressor cycles of conventional refrigerator with TER to increase energy efficiency of vapor compression cycle. For this comparison of standalone VCR and Hybrid VCR+TER system is carried out. A Peltier module of size 4cm×4cm×0.4cm is introduced in the refrigerator cabinet & the effect on energy efficiency in terms of trip time of compressor is recorded. The effect of Air cooled & Water cooled condenser with TER in different structures is also investigated. It is observed that by introducing thermoelectric effect, energy consumption of VCR is reduced by almost 10.92% annually, which accounts for 80 units per year. Thus ultimately improving COP of the hybrid system with better control on temperature over the total run time
