Experimental Analysis on Vapour Compression-Thermoelectric Hybrid Refrigeration System

Two methods of refrigeration-good Coefficient of performance Vapour compression refrigeration method with good inside temperature control Thermoelectric refrigeration method are combined together in a single setup. The heat fluxes generated from the thermoelectric system are utilized by the vapour compression refrigeration system during the phase transformation of the refrigerant into the evaporator coil before entering into the compressor. System performance of the hybrid experimental setup is compared with Vapour Compression refrigeration operated system. The COP of thermoelectric system in combined with VCRS is increased by proper heat dissipation, from hot side of the peltier units and these heat fluxes utilized by VCRS for its own benefit.
