Application of Magnetic Field to Hydrocarbon Refrigerant for improving cooling system energy performance

Trial Project Application of Magnetic Field to Hydrocarbon Refrigerant for improving cooling system energy performance
(REF: P-0207)
Matched I&T Wish
Matched I&T Solution
Solution Feature
  • Feasibility study on the cooling performance with the effect of magnetic field for hydrocarbon refrigerant
  • Design and build up the experimental setup for cooling performance investigation for cooling system on domestic electrical appliance, e.g. refrigerator with hydrocarbon refrigerant
  • Cooling Performance Analysis (1) Evaluation of the power consumption of the compressor (2) Evaluation of the cooling rate to a specific temperature
  • Energy efficiency test, if the effect of magnetic field for hydrocarbon refrigerant enhancing the cooling performance is confirmed in the evaluation, energy efficiency test in respect of the requirements on energy efficiency labelling will be conducted by independent party with competent in relevant test
  • The energy efficiency test for both the electrical appliance with and without magnetic field will be conducted
