Abstract
The role of the polyurethane is very important for energy consumption of refrigerator and freezers. The thermal conductivity of the polyurethane has been taken into account when designing the refrigerator and freezers (R/Fs). Since the diffusion process has occurred inside the cells of the polyurethane the thermal conductivity has been increased by the time. This results in increasing heat gain of the cabinet and increasing energy consumption of R/Fs.
