Özet

Numerical and experimental analysis of a previously investigated hybrid household refrigerator (HHR), HHR I, were conducted in this study. To determine the optimum location for the thermoelectric cooler installed in HHR I, CFD analysis was performed. As a result of the CFD predictions, two new HHRs, namely HHR II and III, were created and experimentally investigated.
