Domestic refrigerators consume approximately 17,500 metric tons of traditional refrigerants such as Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) and Hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) every year which contribute to very high Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) and Global Warming Potential (GWP). There are many remote areas in India where electricity is not available, hence LPG as a refrigerant for refrigeration can be a better alternative. LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) is the combination of propane, isobutene and highest amount of butane with 56.4%. The use of LPG for refrigeration purpose can be eco-friendly since it has no ozone depletion potential (ODP). This paper deals with the study of Refrigeration with LPG as a refrigerant, the properties of LPG and its comparison with the other refrigerants
