Introduction

A refrigerator is an important appliance in most households. It is the second highest guzzler of electricity, after air conditioners, consuming as much as 15% of electricity in typical urban households.

This is augmented by growth in income levels which has enabled citizens to purchase energy-intensive electrical appliances such as TV, air conditioner, etc.
