Summary

Three refrigerators each of about 50-litre capacity were compared in the hotel industry for their energy efficiency, noise produced and cost (owning as well as running). It was demonstrated that the vapour compression refrigerator consumed the least energy, was the least costly but was the noisiest. The absorption refrigeration unit was the quietest but was least energy efficient and the most expensive. The thermoelectric unit was the costliest, nearly as noisy as the vapour compression refrigerator, but was a little less energy efficient than the absorption refrigerator.
