Abstract

ABSTRACT Household refrigerator is a daily-necessity domestic appliance and operates practically all the year. Due to the warming effect and energy shortage, the minimum energy performance standards (MEPS) of domestic electric appliances have been improving. At the heart of refrigerators is the most important part, the compressor. It plays a major role in cooling and maintaining the temperature inside the refrigerator. Over the past five years, there have been a lot of improvements in compressor technologies most refrigerator manufactures have introduced the inverter compressor technology. To proficiently reduce energy consumption with affecting the overall performance of appliances, it is crucial to understand and invest in energy efficient technologies i.e. the inverter technology.
