Refrigeration has wide range of applications ranging from domestic to industrial purposes. Conventional refrigeration systems run on electricity and refrigerants also cause Ozone layer depletion along with Global warming. Thus, there has been need for a solution that is based on the principles of nature such as bio mimicking and that do not require usage of electricity. Keeping these factors in mind a prototype has been made that works on solar energy and provides refrigeration using ambient air as refrigerant. The wind chill refrigeration uses the principle of convection, conduction and cooling due to evaporation. There are two main stages of cooling one by conduction and convection the other by cooling due to evaporation. A working prototype was fabricated, assembled, and tested. The response parameters that were considered in the experimentation are 1) Time Vs Temperature drop, 2) mass flow rate of air (at constant velocity of wind) Vs Temperature drop and 3) wind velocity Vs Temperature drop (constant mass flow rate). The parameters that have been studied practically have also been calculated and correlated with theoretical parameters, so that required comparisons can be made for better understanding of the functioning of the wind chill refrigeration system. After conducting experiments on the fabricated prototype under various conditions, it was observed that temperature drop is directly proportional to local wind speed, inversely proportional to mass flow rate and wind chill refrigeration can be a potential alternative for conventional refrigeration systems.
