Abstracts: The conventional air conditioner uses the compressor-condenser cycle in order to cool the surrounding. The refrigerant leaving from the evaporator carries heat which has to be rejected to the surrounding in the condenser unit so as to decrease temperature of the refrigerant and use it again in the cycle. But, for heat transfer to take place in the condenser the temperature of the refrigerant should be higher than the ambient air temperature. Thus, the compressor unit is used to elevate the refrigerant temperature above the ambient air temperature before sending it to condenser unit. During the peak hours (especially in summer) with the high use of air conditioners, the load on the compressor for increasing the temperature of the refrigerant so as to make it greater than ambient air temperature, so that the heat exchange can take place in the condenser, is high So the actual load taken by the compressor is increasing day by day. So the electric load of the compressor increases and therefore the running and operating cost of compressor also increases. We are going to use the ice storage unit in order to reduce the load on the compressor. So that by using these phenomenon we can reduce the load on the compressor and so the load of the electricity decreases and thus running cost of air conditioning will be low with compared to the traditional (conventional) air conditioners.
