The consumption of electrical and thermal energies by appliances in the residential building sector is growing fast and lots of methods are being followed to beat the energy demand in this sector. Among the various approaches, performance enhancement of refrigeration systems has been recognized as one of the important areas for investigation. Due to the increase in the use of small-scale applications and their effect on global energy requirements, specific research has to be focused on small-scale systems with water-cooled condensers to reduce energy usage in residential buildings. In this study, the evaporative condenser of a refrigeration system was connected to the prevailing water distribution with a submerged motor. The proposed system was analysed for energy savings, performance enhancement, and environmental benefits. |
