Pengaruh Retrofit Refrigeran CFC-12 Terhadap Kinerja Refrigerator Domestik
Abstract: In the recent years,
almost every house has domestic refrigerator which still use CFC-12 refrigerant
as the fluid. When the leakage happen, the refrigerant causes the damage of
ozone such as forming the Ozone side then radiation of ultra violet from the
sun ray in high intensity reach the surface on each directly and it is
dangerous for the human life. The Hydrocarbon refrigerant (HCR-12) is
considered as one of alternative, which is environmentally friendly, more
energy to save and without modification, to replace the CFC-12.This research
compare the performance of household refrigerator using the CFC- 12 refrigerant
and HCR-12 without the modification of refrigerator. The result shown from the
COP, that the refrigerators work for both of refrigerant is relatively the same
and the quality of the ice product from HCR-12 is better than CFC-12, because
the amount of the energy which is absorbed by HCR-12 during the evaporation
process is bigger than CFC- 12. Analyzing the amount of refrigerant weight full
filled to refrigerator, HCR-12 only uses 40 % from CFC-12,If the price of both
refrigerant is the same, the use of HCR-12 is profitable than the use of
CFC-12.
