Abstract The paper discusses a refrigerator/freezer (RF) system that has two complete and independent refrigeration cycles for the two compartments. It uses a non-azeotropic refrigerant mixture (NARM) in each cycle and countercurrent heat exchangers throughout. In a standard cabinet, this RF appears to provide energy savings of 24%, compared to current U.S. RF designs. The NARMs modeled with the best performance included R-32/-152a, R-22/-142b, and R-32/-142b. An 18% improvement can be expected from the dual-circuit system using R-12 alone, and an additional 6% improvement can be gained by replacing R-12 with the selected NARMs in countercurrent heat exchangers. The advantages of the system include greatly reduced energy consumption, easy temperature and humidity control for each compartment, no humidity or odors transferred between compartments, and increased time between defrost cycles.
