I am working on residential building and when I tried to model a kitchen refrigerator I got a very high load for the refrigeration system, about 60% of the annual energy consumption.
My refrigeration system consists of refrigeration:compressor (Refrigeration Compressor - Rated Return Gas ) , refrigeration:case and refrigeration:condenser:aircooled as shown below.
Also, is it possible to model a top freezer refrigerator and how?

I suggest my paper. Model the refrigerator housing in EnergyPlus With full shading by the building wall on all four side.The external heat flux due to the the atmosphere will be through the shades. The internal load can be fixed as some value. For analysis purpose use RC model - Electric thermal analogy can be used.

The Purpose of modeling is not clear. you can also refer the following paper. Model in EnergyPlus and view in open-studio. This is one of the method for co simulations

Thanks Venkatesan Kesavel, the purpose of the model is to estimate the energy consumption of residential refrigerator.
