Impact of different parameters on the energy consumption of domestic refrigerators.

Author(s) : BANSAL P. K.

Summary

The paper presents comprehensive research on energy efficiency test standards for household refrigerators and refrigerator-freezers. The standards studied include the Australian-New Zealand Standard (AS/NZS), the International Standard (ISO), the American National Standard (ANSI), the Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS), and the Chinese Taipei National Standard (CNS). The paper highlights the salient differences among these test standards and presents energy consumption data for some standards. The effects of various parameters on energy consumption were tested. The effect of relative humidity on energy consumption was found to be marginal, whereas the energy consumption increased significantly, as expected, with cabinet size, ambient air temperature, and door openings.
