INTRODUCTION
• In domestic refrigerator a
part of heat gets wasted out
from condenser
• system is technically
feasible and economically
viable

HEAT EXCHANGER
A heat exchanger is a device used to transfer heat between
one or more fluids. The fluids may be separated by a solid
wall to prevent mixing or they may be in direct contact.

CLASSIFICATION OF HEAT
EXCHANGER
Classification-
On the basis of flow

WHY COUNTER FLOW IN WHRS?
The counter-flow heat exchanger has three significant advantages over the
parallel flow design:-
The outlet temperature of the cold fluid can approach the highest
temperature of the hot fluid.

So r2=3.4mm
For Refrigerator of 165 liters capacity, given data from Kirloskar
Ltd manual follows- [1]
=88.392+373
=461.392Watt
Assume efficiency of heat exchanger is 70%
So heat absorb by heat exchanger =QA

QA=322.97 Watt
So heat receive by pipe through condenser is 322.97 watt.
WHY OVEN?
• COMPLIMENT OF REFRIGERATOR
• LESS POWER REQUIRED
• ECONOMICALLY VIABLE
Fig 5
Principle
• The transient respond of the body can be determine
by relating its rate of change of internal energy with
convection exchange at the surface
• Initially transient condition
• Later Steady state
[5]
Fig 6
Energy Supply
• Oven use low grade energy to work
• It use the waste heat, which is release to
atmosphere
• The refrigerant circulates through tubes
("refrigerant lines") that travel throughout the
oven.
• This circulated refrigerant dissipate heat to the
air inside oven
CONCEPTS & DESIGN
• Since the temperature of air inside oven varies with time
t initially

FABRICATION AND ASSEMBLY
• Parts of domestic refrigerator are as follows-
Compressor
Modified Air cooled Condenser
Capillary Tube
Plate type Evaporator
Parallel type heat exchanger
Insulated pipe
Insulated Cabin
Refrigerant used
[4]
Fabrication of Insulated Cabin
5.2.1 Material Used: Galvanized Iron Sheet
5.2.2 Process used - Sheet metal forming.
Fig 7
Fabrication of Cabin
• Inner box and outer box of insulated cabin are made
up of Galvanized iron sheet. After defining
dimensions, sheet metal working is performed. The
cabin is painted by silver color.
• Insulation material- here thermo Cole is used for
insulation purpose and it is of 3.5cm thickness.
• After forming all parts of cabin
it is assembled in well manner
as shown in
Fig 8
REFRIGERANT R134a
Ecofriendly.
Easily available.
Cheap in cost.
Improved cooling properties.
Easy to inject in tube.
RESULTS
• The main aim is to use waste heat for domestic
purposes.
COPactual = 0.948
COPimproved= 0.98
• Improvement in COP
0.98−0.948
= x100
0.948
= 3.3%
COP improved varies than the actual calculated because of following errors.
1. Heat outleak while opening or closing the door cannot be exactly evaluated.
2. Actual COP is different than the value taken because the refrigerator is old.
3. Air may leak in or out because of old gasket.
CONCLUSION
Suitable heat recovery system can be designed and developed
for every household refrigerator.
