Fabrication and Performance Evaluation of Electrolux Refrigeration System Coupled with IC Engine

All the conventional automobiles, thermal power plant, refineries use VCR system for air conditioning purposes. VCRS system utilizes the engine shaft power as input to drive the compressor. We develop a VAR system using Electrolux which is coupled to an IC Engine. IC Engine has an efficiency of about 35-40% which means that only 1/3rd of the energy is converted into useful work and about 60-65% is wasted.In Vapour Absorption Refrigeration system , a physicochemical process replaces the mechanical process of VCRS by using the energy in the form of heat rather than mechanical work.The heat required to run the VARS can be obtained from the Exhaust of the IC Engine.As VARS uses ammonia refrigerant. It cannot be used for domestic purposes. As the future scope , NH3 is replaced by LiBr as refrigerant.
