Modeling of variable speed compressor vapour compression refrigeration system using ecofriendly refrigerants and nano refrigerants and water cooled condenser-evaporator with experimental validation

Abstract Lots of researches have been done and going on based on the performance evaluation of various metallic/ nonmetallic nanoparticle suspended into the conventional fluid to enhance the heat transfer property of base fluid. Also some theoretical analysis of suspension of nanoparticle Al2O3 in conventional refrigerant. On the other hand the performance of vapour compression cycle based chiller facility using nano refrigerant yet to be analyzed with different type, concentration and diameter of nanoparticle. Such as TiO2, CuO nanoparticle suspension into conventional refrigerant with different concentration and diameter have been analyzed by several investigators and also effect of variation of concentration and nanoparticle diameter on the first and second law performance of vapour compression refrigeration system is presented. The effect of changing input parameter of VCRS using nano refrigerant also affecting significantly the evaporative heat transfer coefficient and very little condor heat transfer coefficient. The idea of Suspension nanoparticle into conventional refrigerant and theoretical analysis of VCRS using nano-refrigerant is proposed after going through extensive literature review presented in this paper.
