Refrigeration is the process of maintaining the temperatures of a system lower than that of its surroundings. The equipment used for this process is called as refrigerator. There are many types of refrigeration equipment which run on different cycles and principles. A domestic refrigerator system works on Vapour Compression Refrigeration System (VCRS). A VCRS has 4 main components Compressor, Condenser, Expansion Valve and Evaporator. A fluid called as refrigerant runs continuously inside these equipments in order to produce the refrigeration effect at evaporator by taking work input at compressor. By varying the state, quality or parameter of refrigerant at inputs at various levels the performance of the VCRS can be increased. This Project is mainly concerned with the decrease in temperature of the refrigerant at the output of the condenser by increasing the diameter of the condenser tube, thereby increasing the surface area of the heat exchange with surroundings. For this purpose equipment has been fabricated a VCRS with 2 condensers in parallel one of which is 3/16’ inch and other is 1/4 inch. The equipment is provided with valves so the refrigerant flows in the desired tube by turning the valves on and off. By using pressure gauges, thermometers, voltmeter and ammeter, Pressures, Temperatures, voltage and current were determined at various instances at various points and are used to calculate and compare the Coefficient Of Performance (COP) of the VCRS while using 3/16 inch condenser and 1/4 inch condenser.
