Many household refrigerator owners do not control their thermostat settings. However, doing this could save energy consumption and also maintain the quality of stored food. This study presents the effect of regulated thermostat settings on household refrigerator energy consumption. The experiment was performed in a room chamber conditioned to temperature control at 25oC. A household refrigerator was used as a test unit, with a cooling load placed inside the freezer component. The cooling load used was an M-package, in accordance with SNI IEC 15502: 2008. The test results reveal that household refrigerator energy consumption increases with higher thermostat settings. Increases in energy consumption range from 17.10% to 18.65%, depending on the thermostat setting.

This study investigates the performance of a solar adsorption refrigerator using activated alumina and methanol adsorption pair. The experiments were carried out for 24-hour. The refrigeration was completed during seven cycles with varying weather conditions. A flat plate type collector was used with an area of 0.25 m2 and tilt angle of 30o. Theoretical calculations show that, the maximum collector efficiency is 47.15% when the maximum solar radiation obtained is 936.9 W/m2. In this research, the maximum value of the COP is 0.0991 when the total solar energy is 16.485 MJ/m2 and the minimum value obtained is 0.0919 when the total solar energy is 7.609 MJ/m2. The experiment results show that the adsorption pair system can deliver an evaporator temperature of about 9.92°C and the cooling load can be achieved by a heat source with a temperature range of 83.95°C and 95.39oC.
