Abstract

The aims of this study are to improve thermal characteristics and decrease electrical consumption of air-conditioning as well as, to increase the performance (COP) of cooling cycle. CuO nanoparticles (0.003 mass fraction) have been added to compressor oil of air conditioning (1 ton capacity, split-unit) used Freon gas (R22), and then compared with pure oil compressor of air conditioning under same environmental conditions. The results showed that the increasing of density ratio, COP and viscosity ratio are 3%, 50% and 1.8% respectively while the decreasing of electrical consumption is 51.2%. The experimental data are compared with previous data in the literature to be validated. It can be recommended that the nano-oil is significant utilizing in air conditioner compressors for energy consumption applications.
