REFRIGERATOR CUM AIR CONDITIONER

Abstract

Refrigerator cum Air conditioner is the combination of two units i.e. domestic Refrigerator and Air-Conditioner. Our aim is to develop a device that performs both task at same time i.e. cooling refrigeration cabin and room. By this method the energy and cost can be reduced from the cost of individual equipment. In minimum construction, maintenance and running cost, this attempt is quite useful for domestic purpose thus those who cannot afford an Air Conditioner can have the comfort of Air Conditioner. Refrigerator has become a necessity of all households in 21st Century. In all metropolitan cities, environment degradation due to automobile & other factors is on the rise, therefore the requirement of air-conditioner has already been felt. The motivation for the project comes from rising energy demands and hence its cost. As we all know that we are lacking of power resources, so this project will help us in tackling this problem as we are trying to make a personalized cooling system which will run at a very low cost that can be afforded by a common man. Another objective of this project is to improve the utilization of waste heat from a domestic refrigerator. The continual operation of this equipment accounts more electrical energy consumption. Furthermore, a significant amount of waste heat is rejected by the condenser of refrigerator. The heat rejected by condenser is of low quality, meaning temperature is low. Thus, practical uses of waste heat from the domestic refrigerators are typically limited to space heating and water heating.
