The performance of a domestic refrigerator can be improved by incorporation of phase change material (PCM) with the evaporator. The features and properties of the refrigerant used in a refrigerator signify the heat storage and heat release rate. The utilization of PCM as the thermal storage will support in the advancement of coefficient of performance (COP) comprising the fresh cycle of refrigeration. The refrigerator or freezer is very important home appliances which consume a lot of energy. The biggest area of technical advancement is to incorporate electronic devices with better controls as well as insulation and can be used as replacement for refrigerators. However, environment friendly refrigerators for domestic purpose and energy efficient devices are cost effective, still upgradation in technology for instance labels of energy, standards comprising least efficiency and incentives among the industries are needed to improve the domestic refrigerators with innovative approach.
