Review on Effect of Use of Nano-Particles on Performance of Refrigeration System
Abstract
Nano refrigerant & Nano lubricant, classes of nano fluids, are gaining importance in field of design & analysis of thermal engineering systems due to improved thermo-physical & heat transfer characteristics of nano refrigerant/nano lubricant which improves overall performance of system. The nano refrigerant & nano lubricant can be used in vapor compression refrigeration system (VCRS) without any modification in system. The nano refrigerant contains suspension of nano particles in different concentration. This refrigerant based nano fluids, nano refrigerant enhances the heat transfer performances of refrigeration and air-conditioning systems. The heat transfer performance of any thermal system depends on important properties such as thermal conductivity and viscosity of working fluid which ultimately depends on concentration of nano particles in base refrigerant. This paper presents comprehensive review of literatures emphasizing on performance of refrigeration and air conditioning system using various nano refrigerant and nano lubricant. It also expresses variation in thermodynamic properties of nano fluid with different concentration of nano particles in base fluid. This study is an effort to promote energy efficient and environmental friendly nano refrigerant which can reduce the power consumption and increases coefficient of performance (COP) of the system.
