Many household
refrigerator owners do not control their thermostat settings. However, doing
this could save energy consumption and also maintain the quality of stored
food. This study presents the effect of regulated thermostat settings on
household refrigerator energy consumption. The experiment was performed in a
room chamber conditioned to temperature control at 25oC. A household
refrigerator was used as a test unit, with a cooling load placed inside the
freezer component. The cooling load used was an M-package, in accordance with
SNI IEC 15502: 2008. The test results reveal that household refrigerator energy
consumption increases with higher thermostat settings. Increases in energy
consumption range from 17.10% to 18.65%, depending on the thermostat setting. |
