Umang Srivastava, Anand Singh, Shariq Raza, Abhishek Kumar

Abstract: In our daily life, refrigeration and air conditioning plays a very vital role. We cannot imagine our life in absence of these facilities. These facilities are very much helpful to us but on other hand they are equally dangerous for our environment and its future. The use of harmful refrigerants such as CFC’s are rapidly degrading the ozone layer and causing the Global warming, which is a major concern for this initiation in the field of refrigerants. Thus we are replacing the refrigerants with the ecofriendly alternate that is Alcohol. We are making a new process by combining some aspects of two processes which already exits namely Vapours Compression Refrigeration System AndVapour Absorption Refrigeration System.
