This study investigates the result of an experimental study carried out to determine the performance of domestic refrigerator, The LPG is cheaper and possesses an environmental friendly nature with no Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) and no Global Warming Potential (GDP). when a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) which is locally available which comprises of 24.4% propane, 56.4% butane and 17.2% isobutene which is varied from company to company is used as a Refrigerant. It is used in world for cooking purposes From the experiment which done in atmospheric condition, we can predict the optimum value of cooling effect with the suitable operating condition of regulating valve and capillary tube of the system.The refrigerator used in the present study is designed to work on LPG. The performance parameters investigated is the refrigeration effect in certain time. The refrigerator worked efficiently when LPG was used as a refrigerant instead of domestic refrigerant . The evaporator temperature reached 7ᵒC with an ambient temperature of 33ᵒC.And also we can re utilize the refrigerant as a fuel for burner.
