Abstract


This paper aims to investigate the performance of domestic refrigerator with the use of phase change material for cooling (PCMC). For experiment and analysis of system PCMC is compared with water and readings were taken. For the easement of performance normal refrigerator box is replace by a small size box. The results confirm that the use of PCMC is advantageous to system in manner of increases in performance of refrigerator and also economic point of view. To prove the concept, mainly cut-off time of compressor is focused and whole analysis based on that.
