Author(s) : FRIDLEY D., FINE H. A., NADEL S., PHILLIPS R., LENG X. Z., BRISKIN J.

Summary

The article reports on the results of a year-long field test of prototype CFC-free, energy-efficient refrigerators developed during the Sino-US CFC-free, Energy-Efficient Refrigerator Project. In early 1995, 104 refrigerators (85 prototypes and baseline units) were installed in households in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. Watt-hour meters were installed to monitor energy usage, and the families were asked to respond to two questionnaires involving ownership and use of other appliances, satisfaction with the new and old refrigerators, rating of refrigerator characteristics, and other socio-economic information. Results of this enquiry are given.
