  • Abstract:
  • Improving the performance of vapour compression refrigeration systems is crucial to increasing energy efficiency and environmental sustainability. This research focusses on using nanoparticles as performance-enhancing additions in refrigerants for vapour compression cycles. Nanoparticles have exceptional thermal qualities, such as strong thermal conductivity and increased heat transfer capacities, which can greatly improve the efficiency of both refrigerants and lubricants. Nanoparticles, including zinc oxide (ZNO) , are tested for their usefulness in traditional refrigerants. To maintain consistent operation, suitable stabilisation techniques are used to address difficulties such as particle agglomeration and sedimentation. The experimental results show that adding nanoparticles increases the coefficient of performance (COP) via improving heat transfer rates and refrigeration efficiency. Furthermore, the system consumes less energy, allowing for more sustainable and cost-effective cooling options. The effect of nanoparticle concentration, type, and size on factors including thermal conductivity, pressure loss, and compressor workload is comprehensively investigated. Furthermore, the paper emphasises issues with dispersion stability and mechanical wear while discussing alternative mitigating measures. The study finds that, when properly constructed, nanofluids are a promising breakthrough for improving vapour compression systems. Their application can result in increased heat transfer performance and energy savings, contributing to the growing need for environmentally friendly cooling systems. Future research should investigate optimal nanoparticle compositions, advanced nanomaterials, and compatibility with ecologically friendly refrigerants to further boost performance and sustainability. This work contributes to the ongoing efforts to develop energy-efficient refrigeration and air conditioning systems, aligning with global energy conservation and climate change mitigation goals.
