Experimental and performance study of Nano refrigerant (R290 + CuO) in vapour compression refrigeration system

Abstract

system based on Nano refrigerant . The Nano refrigerant is combination of pure hydro-carbon refrigerant and nanoparticles like (R290+CuO). After that the system is run with the help of In this paper , the experimental and performance study of a vapour compression refrigeration Nano refrigerant (Pure refrigerant(R290)+nanoparticles (CuO)) and result is analysed. The results of the experiments indicated that the refrigerator performed better with nanoparticles as compared to pure Hydrocarbon. There is more temperature drop across the condenser for the nanorefrigerant (13.02%–21.84%) compared to pure R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant. Similarly, a gain in the evaporator temperature (3.28%–5.83%) has been observed
