Abstract

Now a days, researchers focused on use of Nano additive refrigerants in vapour compression refrigeration system (VCRS) because of their remarkable improvement in thermo-physical and heat transfer capabilities to enhance the Coefficient of Performance (COP) and reliability of refrigeration system. Based on results available in the literatures, it has been found that Nano additive refrigerants have a much higher and strongly temperature-dependent thermal conductivity at very low particle concentrations than conventional refrigerant. This can be considered as one of the key parameters for enhanced performance for refrigeration systems. In this review, we summarized the performance enhancement of vapour compression refrigeration system using Nano additive refrigerants reported by different researchers. Moreover, challenges and future directions of performance enhancement of VCRS using Nano additive refrigerants were presented.
