The effort to promote energy efficient and environmentally friendly nano
based refrigerants is now being
favoured. To this effect, in this paper, the new trend, prospects , and investigations of nano based refrigerant in
refrigeration systems are reviewed. It was found that various thermal characteristics have been reported as
favourable regarding nano refrige rants. These include a reduction in the power consumption, increase in the
coefficient of performance (COPr), improved tribological pressure drop property of nano lubricant, and increase
in the thermal conductivity of the hybrid refrigerant. The discussions here thus suggest that nano particles are
highly favoured to be included in a typical refrigera tion system. |
