Mini Project - MP01 - v3

This document describes a proposed integrated heat recovery system for residential refrigerators that utilizes solar energy. The system aims to use waste heat from cooling to provide heating, allowing a refrigerator to both cool and heat. It would use heat exchangers and have separate compartments for cooling and heating. Testing showed it could maintain different temperatures for cooling and heating simultaneously while increasing energy efficiency over separate appliances. The system was designed to reduce electricity usage and costs while enhancing performance and utilizing renewable energy.

INTRODUCTION

● Energy conservation makes sense


environmentally and financially
● Due to increase of population,
civilization and advancement demand
of energy is increasing day by day
● By using non-conventional source of
energy and different form of energy for
different purpose is the solution of the
problem
PROBLEM STATEMENT
● We use individual appliances for cooling and heating purposes
● Resulting into : 1) Wastage of energy 2) Excess electricity use
● Our system can be utilized for both heating and cooling
purpose
● Separate compartment to serve the purpose of heating
● Usage of solar energy to reduce the electricity consumption
AIM & OBJECTIVE
AIM :
