Özet
Two different hybrid refrigerators which include vapour compression and thermoelectric (TE) cooling technologies were built and tested. Serial refrigerators, which use vapour compression only were first tested to collect reference data for comparisons. Then, the hybrid prototypes were constructed by attaching thermoelectric coolers (TECs) to different compartments of these serial units. Among the chill, fresh food and freezer compartments of the refrigerators, the TECs were only used at chill and fresh food compartments, which have different cooling power requirements. Energy consumption, cooling and freezing capacity, and noise tests were conducted in compliance with three different standards.
