Experimental+Project

Our experimental project was intended to test the efficiency of an extra insulated freezer. To test this, a commercial freezer had its system (coils, refrigerant, compressor) replaced in a wooden box, upon which further cheaper but effective insulation was added. Not only were we able to see the temperature drop to as low as -40 degrees Celsius while power was supplied, but we also managed to have the system maintain around -30 degrees Celsius throughout the day without power. This project holds a lot of potential to develop more energy-efficient freezers and to utilize heat dissipating coils to warm water heaters (reducing the power needed to heat water). Below are some pictures of the final stages of the project.
