Domestic refrigerators annually consume approximately 17,500 metric tons of tradi tional refrigerants such as Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) and Hydroflourocarbon (HFC) which contribute to very high Ozone Depletion Potential ( ODP ) and Global Warming Potential ( GWP ) . Good progress is being made with the phase out of CFC 2 2 from new equipment m anufacture by replacing LPG since it possesses an enviro nmentally friendly nature with n o ODP. LPG is expected to results in c omparable product efficiencies based on its characteristics. Therefore, this two types of refrigerants (LPG and CFC 2 2) to be exam ined using a modified domestic refrigerator in term of their performance characteristics parameters such as pressure and temperat ure at specified location at the refrigerator and the safety requirements while conducting the experiment . Based on the present work , it is indicate that the successful of using LPG as an alternative refrigerant to replace CFC 2 2 in domestic refrigerators is possible by getting LPG COP as 13 compared to 10 for CFC22.
