Analysis of refrigerator/freezer appliances having dual refrigeration cycles.

Author(s) : GAN A. I., KLEIN S. A., REINDL D. T.

Summary

The energy savings that can be obtained by delivering refrigeration at the higher temperature as required by the fresh food compartment is found to be a function of the cabinet load ratio and the ratio of the freezer and refrigerator cycle COPs. Depending on the values of these two parameters, the energy requirement for a dual-cycle system can be up to 30% lower than that for a comparable single-cycle system meeting the same cabinet loads.
