Development & Performance Testing of an A-Grade Refrigerator

Abstract

In the present work, two new models of Refrigerators were developed. With every part and design being made new with new additional features, this model was developed with the objective of replacing the previously running models. This was done by surpassing the previously used volumes, achieving higher storage volumes with a proportionately very less increase in Energy consumption. A detailed procedure of the performance parts selection done in LG Electronics standards is recorded in this work. Testing for the same were performed in the labs of company following strict standards set by governmental bodies for a particular country. The project was the development of two 3 Star Refrigerator models of volumes 360L and 340L. Testing was conducted by our team at the various stages of development. Results obtained were maintained under internal LG limits set previously and also with a 5% margin and were in compliance with BEE and BIS. Machine to machine variation was also checked and kept under limit generated by following Three-Sigma. Volumes and performance results were also compared with other benchmarked companies to ensure healthy competition.
