Experimental studies on joule thompson refrigeration system using ecofriendly referigent with nanolubricants

Abstract

All over the world, the research on the application of nanofluid in newlinerefrigeration system is going on with the purpose to increase rate of heat newlineabsorbed in the evaporator. By increasing rate of heat absorbed in evaporator, newlinethe refrigeration system is able to cool down the refrigeration space faster newlinethan normal system.Currently, there are two methods of nanofluid application in newlinerefrigeration system: 1) mixing with refrigerant and 2) mixing with the newlinerefrigerator lubricant. Both of these approaches have no chose agreement with newlineeach other and future research still in progress. In order to find the use of newlinenanoparticles this research has been conducted based on nanolubricantrefrigerant newline(called nanolubricantand#8223;) approach. This research incorporates newlinenanoparticles in lubricants which helps in increasing the heat transfer newlinecharacteristics of the refrigeration system hence decreasing the work done by newlinethe compressor. Consequently the coefficient of performance also increases, newlinethereby increasing the overall energy efficiency of the system. The research newlineaims at investigate the COP characteristics of Joule Thomson refrigeration newlinesystem by adding various nanoparticles to the lubricants. newline newline
