Abstract

Supply of continuous electricity is still not available in several areas of the country and the world and refrigerator consuming more electricity. So we need an alternative refrigerant for refrigeration. Domestic refrigerator consume approximately 17500 tons traditional refrigerants such as Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) and Hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) every year which contribute to very high Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) and Global Warming Potential (GWP). Hence LPG as refrigerant can be a better alternative. LPG comprises of 24.4% propane, 56.4% butane and 17.2% isobutane. The LPG for refrigeration purpose can be eco-friendly and it has no ozone depeletion potential (ODP). This paper deal with the study of refrigeration with LPG as a refrigerant, the properties of LPG and its compression with the other refrigerant.
