Energy Use Testing of Domestic Refrigeration Appliances. Part 2 of a Project to Design and Demonstrate an Energy Efficient Kitchen

摘要

An investigation was carried out to determine the energy consumption of domestic refrigerators on the New Zealand market. A cross section of refrigerators from the various classes were selected for testing. Within these classes the most popular models of the Kelvinator, Prestcold and Simpson range were chosen. It was found that differences in energy consumption resulted from different manufacturers and models within the same class of refrigerator.
