Domestic refrigerators, freezers and washing machines are among the most widely used electrical appliances all around the world. Currently, about 1.4 billion domestic cold appliances and 840 million washing machines worldwide use about 740 TWh electricity, which is more than Germany's total electricity consumption, cause CO 2 eq emissions of 500 mi...

R134a is the most widely used refrigerant in domestic refrigerators. R134a is a Hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) with high GWP of 1430 and hence, it must be phase out soon under the Kyoto protocol. Hydrocarbon (HC) refrigerants have zero ODP and very low GWP. In the present work, an experimental investigation has been made with HC refrigerant R600a (isobuta...
In this paper are reported the results of an experimental comparative analysis between R134a and HFO1234ze, when they are employed as refrigerants in a domestic refrigerator. Under subtropical conditions, it have been measured the energy consumptions in accordance with the UNI-EN-ISO15502. For each experiment it have been estimated both the TEWI an...

The present article experimentally examines the application of ZnO nanoparticles in refrigeration cycle. Nanoparticles overcome the energy consumption issue by improving the compressor lubrication characteristics. In this study, the ZnO nanolubricant is proposed as a promising lubricant to improve the lubrication characteristics of domestic refrige...
Among all sectors of refrigeration, one of the most affected by the latest international regulations is the domestic refrigeration. Although for it has been suggested some solutions, such as the construction of household refrigerator operating with the hydrocarbons, there remains the need to find a substitute for R-134a. With the aim of finding a s...
