Introduction
 Petroleum gas is stored in liquefied state before its
utilization as fuel. The energy spent for pressurizing
and liquefying is not recovered afterwards. If it is
expanded in an evaporator, it will get vaporized and
absorb heat to produce cooling.
 This property has been used for refrigeration and air
conditioning. So that the liquefied form of LPG can
be used for cooling and the expanded gas (LPG) can
be further used for combustion as a fuel.

Problem Statement:
 The energy crisis persists all across the globe. We
think of recovering the energy which is already spent
but not being utilized further, to overcome this crisis
with no huge investment.
 The climatic change and global warming demand
accessible and affordable cooling systems in the
form of refrigerators and air conditioners. Annually
billions of dollars are spent in serving this purpose.
Hence forth, we suggest NO COST Cooling
Systems.

Methodology
 • LPG is extracted at high pressure in liquefied
state from the storage device. Its pressure and
flow rate is controlled by a valve connects it to the
evaporator at requisite pressure in requisite
quantity.
• An evaporator is housed through which LPG
flows. It gets converted from liquefied state to
gaseous state and expands. So it absorbs heat in
the form of latent heat. Due to this process, heat
from surrounding is absorbed so cooling effect is
produced. Dr. D. Y. Patil School of Engineering,Lohegaon, Pune. 5

 • This effect is magnified by an evaporator. A network
of pipes containing gas is covered by thin and
closely spaced fins which help in effective and fast
cooling. The insulating material helps in storing the
cooling effect for a longer period of time.
• The LPG leaves the evaporator in gaseous form; it
is then directed towards the burner, engine, or any
other application where it is to be used. Thus, no
LPG is consumed for cooling purpose.

Advantages & Disadvantages
ADVANTAGES
 Cooling is free of cost as no electricity is needed for operating the air
conditioner and refrigerator.
 LPG is not consumed during cooling process, only expanded and further
used for cooking, as automobile fuel or for any industrial purposes.
 The product is a green technology and is eco- friendly, as if eliminates the
use of ozone-depleting refrigerants.
DISADVANTAGES
 The leakage of LPG may cause blast.
 Repairing and servicing is difficult.
 The system is bulky.

Practical Applications
 • The system can universally be used in industrial
central cooling and domestic refrigeration and air
conditioning as well.
• It can be used in automobiles running on LPG or
other Gaseous fuels for air conditioning.
• On the other hand the technology if implemented in
heavy utility vehicles or transportation, it would help
in distant transportation of eatables as the
refrigeration system inside the vehicle and the cost
of running the vehicle can be borne simultaneously.
• Cooling and storage of essentials in remote areas
and in emergency
