Performance analysis in the design of thermoacoustic refrigeration system: review

Abstract

ABSTRACT Thermoacoustic refrigeration is based on the achievement of low temperatures using acoustic or sound waves whereas the thermoacoustic refrigerator uses the thermoacoustic effect to transform sound energy into heat energy. There are no mechanical moving components in the system, and it does not use any traditional refrigerant, which is harmful to the environment. Instead of hazardous chemicals like hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), which cause the ozone layer to deplete, inert gases like helium, argon, and air are employed. The review of experiments in thermoacoustic refrigeration design is discussed in this paper. A thermoacoustic refrigeration system uses no refrigerant but is currently not a feasible solution due to the still immature technology on the enhancement of stack and resonator tube in thermoacoustic refrigerator system some parameters have direct values that are not always available, and the residual resin in the gap rendered the SLA stacks useless, resulting in a blockage inside them. Then the various design of the thermoacoustic refrigeration system is incapable of storing vital things like a freezer and the stack plate space is decreased, the system becomes vulnerable. A different gases used in the resonator tube here the temperature drop is very and it is not stable this device has very poor efficiency and also needs an optimization technique to improve the efficiency of the system. Then the Optimization of the thermoacoustic refrigeration system, this technique is only suitable for the basic optimization of simple units, such as single stack standing wave thermoacoustic coolers also the preliminary investigation of more complex installations. The fundamental philosophies of the thermoacoustic refrigeration system are explained, and the analysis of thermoacoustic refrigeration is evaluated using various experimental design investigations into the thermal acoustic refrigeration system and related parameters.
