Abstract

The refrigeration system stands out as a significant contributor to the escalating trend in energy consumption. Therefore, implementing energy-saving measures is considered one of the most effective strategies for addressing this challenge. Nanofluids demonstrate remarkable promise in enhancing refrigeration systems' thermodynamic and mechanical efficiency. In contemporary times, there is a global emphasis on exploring nano refrigerants to enhance the heat transfer properties of cooling systems. Household and industrial refrigeration systems commonly utilize Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) because of their exceptional thermodynamic attributes. Nevertheless, the Kyoto Protocol has classified HFCs as contributors to global warming because of their high (GWP) value, which stands at 1300., their improved Coefficient of Performance (COP), and, critically, a lower GWP while having zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP). Integrating nanoparticles with high thermal conductivity into traditional refrigerants has revealed compelling outcomes. These include heightened heat transfer coefficients, enhanced (COP), and reduced energy consumption by compressors in household refrigerators. This article explores the use of environmentally friendly refrigerants and the impact of nanoparticles on refrigeration systems.
