Liquefied Petroleum gas is stored in liquefied state before it is used as fuel for domestic and various industrial purposes. The energy spent for pressurizing is not recovered in any form. Due to absorption of latent heat while phase change if this can be expanded in controlled manner it can produce cooling effect. This property has been used for refrigeration and air conditioning application. So that the liquefied form of petroleum gas fuel is used for cooling and the expanded gas can be further used for combustion. Hence actual setup for checking cooling effect of LPG is build and COP of system is calculated, also it is compared with same capacity system using R134a, to check its liability. Conclusions are drawn based on the cooling effect produce. This system can limit use of refrigerants with high Global Warming Potential (GWP).
