Research Progress of Nano-refrigerant and Its Application in Refrigeration

Abstract

As a new type of refrigerant, nano-refrigerant has attracted more and more attention. The nano-refrigerant proposed in the concept of nano-fluid is to add nano-particles into the refrigerant according to a certain mass fraction to form a refrigerant with stable and high-efficiency heat exchange capability. This paper mainly describes the application of nano-refrigerant in refrigeration, the preparation method of nano-refrigerant, the characteristics of nano-refrigerant and the factors affecting the properties of nano-fluid refrigerant.
