Ozone depletion due to Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) and Hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HSFC) refrigerants is one of the major problem to our natural habitat. Also availability of electricity is still not available in several areas of the world where one need electricity and refrigeration of water, food, and medicine. Such problems can be solved using Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) for refrigeration and generation of electricity since it has no Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP), furthermore LPG is locally available and is easy to transport anywhere. In this paper the performance of LPG based refrigerator has been investigated and is compared with domestic refrigerator. From experimental investigation it has been found that coefficient of performance of the refrigerator which uses LPG is higher than a domestic refrigerator.

Abstract
Ozone depletion due to Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) and Hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HSFC) refrigerants is one of the major problem to our natural habitat. Also availability of electricity is still not available in several areas of the world where one need electricity and refrigeration of water, food, and medicine. Such problems can be solved using Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) for refrigeration and generation of electricity since it has no Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP), furthermore LPG is locally available and is easy to transport anywhere. In this paper the performance of LPG based refrigerator has been investigated and is compared with domestic refrigerator. From experimental investigation it has been found that coefficient of performance of the refrigerator which uses LPG is higher than a domestic refrigerator.
