Hybrid Refrigerator Charged with Cement-Based Battery (HRCCBD)

Project Type: Self-Initiated

Project Description

The high energy demand of conventional refrigerators and the lack of sustainable, safe and environmentally friendly energy storage solutions prevent reliable off-grid solar cooling. This project solves both problems by combining a low-power hybrid refrigeration cycle with a cement-based battery for continuous night-time operation. The hybrid refrigerator project successfully delivered a **sustainable cooling solution. It achieved the target temperature range with **high energy efficiency. The novel **cement-battery composite's structural strength** was successfully validated.
