INTRODUCTION The average percentage of refrigerator energy consumption is not less than %20 in domestic use. That means a decent amount of energy is required to preserve the foods in a suitable temperatures. Decreasing energy consumption of refrigerators is a critical matter when economical and environmental issues are considered. The data given by Baxter and Sand shows that, GWP and TEWI values are affected by both refrigerant, blowing agent and energy consumption. However, Indirect effect from energy use is much more important The lower curve in the Figure.1 shows how CO2 from energy use accumulates in the atmosphere over the systems’ lifetimes, and then how the CO2 is gradually removed through natural processes (e. ... The indirect effect from energy use has clearly more negative impact in the environment. ... 1 For several years, refrigerator manufacturers, throughout Europe, have made new projects on energy efficiency. ... The European Union supports improved energy efficiency, for example the energy label have been upgraded to include the A+ and A++ energy index levels, which helps consumers make the most energy efficient choice.
