        abstract = {Evergrowing need of refrigeration system is one of the major reason of expanding pattern of energy consumption, thus energy saving is one of the best approach to overcome this issue. Due to various environmental convention manufacturing sector encountering more and more pressure from the legislature not only on energy consumption but also on environmental concern, therefore while selecting a refrigerant it needs to consider both of energy saving and environmental cost. In this paper, a comprehensive review is carried out investigate performance potential of nano-R1234yf. Nanorefrigernt (special type of nanofluid) shows potential of upgrading thermodynamic performance of refrigeration system. This review contains much amount of information regarding the environmental pollution produced by working fluids of air-conditioning, heat pump and commercial refrigeration applications. The replacement of R134a with R1234yf gives clean and green environment, with zero ozone depleting potential (ODP) and less global warming potential (GWP).},
