dc.description.abstract | Refrigeration is the science of maintaining the temperature of a substance below the atmospheric
temperature that is done by removing the heat from the substance that needs to be cooled. A general
refrigeration system uses electricity and Chlorofluorocarbon to accomplish the task. Chlorofluorocarbon
(CFC) is also contributed to the ozone depletion. As electricity is not abundant in our country, the need
of an alternate to the existing system has arisen. In such case, LPG refrigeration system has proven to be
an effective for remote areas such as research sites, mines, & deserts and also free of pollution. Many
engineering analysis has been done in the recent years in LPG refrigeration system, but practical
implication of such analysis is yet to be reported. We will investigate the performance parameters is the
refrigeration effect in certain time. A LPG powered refrigeration system has been fabricated by using
different components and measuring instruments. High pressure gas from LPG was regulated to low
pressure and it is directly fed to the throttle valve where further drop of pressure and temperature
occurs. This low temperature gas passes through the copper tube in the refrigerating chamber absorbs
heat from the chamber and thus produce refrigerating effect. | en_US |
