Cost-efficiency analysis in support of the energy conservation standards for refrigerator-freezers.

Author(s) : HAKIM S. H., TURIEL I.

Summary

The paper describes the cost-efficiency analysis of design options carried out in support of the proposed 1998 standards for refrigerator-freezers. The analysis shows that, for example, for a 515-liter top-mount automatic-defrost refrigerator-freezer, the annual energy consumption can be reduced from 700 to 484 kilowatts-hour/year by the use of more efficient fan motors and compressors, improved gaskets, and insulation that is 0.5 inch thicker.
