In this paper, an experimental work was investigated on nanorefrigerant .Nano Al2O3-PAG oil was used as nano-refrigerant in R134a vapour compression refrigeration system . An experimental setup was designed and fabricated in the lab. The system performance was investigated using energy consumption test and freeze capacity test. The results indicate that Al2O3 nano refrigerant works normally and...

Energy is the lifeblood of the modern world. Because of the negative environmental impacts and limited sources of fossil fuels, researchers are increasingly focusing on renewable energy sources, particularly solar energy due to its cleanliness and natural availability. Along with photovoltaic systems, solar thermal energy has been used over the last few decades to meet the refrigeration needs f...

This paper reports the results of an experimental investigation into the characteristics and effects of a PWM inverter on the power supply and overall performance of a capacity controlled refrigeration system employing a positive displacement compressor. The results indicate that the efficiency of variable speed refrigeration systems at part load is severely affected by the poor performance of ...

Ammonia refrigeration systems typically offer many energy efficiency opportunities because of their large power-draw, long runtimes and dynamic operation. Ammonia refrigeration system energy use is highly dependent upon condensing head pressure, which in turn is a function of evaporative condenser capacity and control. This paper investigates the relationship between system energy use, condense...

The use of refrigerant mixtures in refrigeration machines has been proposed in the technical literature. Some but not all of the arguments for and against the use of mixtures as refrigerants are examined in this study. An issue associated with use of blends is the segregation on leakage and the ensuing loss in capacity and performance change on repeated recharging with the original mixture. We ...

Design and developmental methodology of thermoelectric refrigeration has been explained in detail also the theoretical physical characteristics of thermoelectric cooling module used in this research work have been investigated. Authors have been designed and developed an experimental prototype of thermoelectric refrigeration system working on solar photo voltaic cells generated DC voltage. The ...

the suitability of milk preserved by refrigeration and co2 addition for the manufacture of plain yoghurt using two commercial strains of lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus and streptoccocus thermophilus and probiotic yoghurt by lactobacillus acidophilus was evaluated. yoghurts (plain and probiotic) manufactured after milk pasteurization, from fresh and refrigerated co2 treated samples (p...

Low temperature process cooling is an energy demanding part in many chemical production processes. Cooling systems operating at very low temperatures consume a large amount of high quality energy such as electricity or high pressure steam, used to drive refrigeration compressor units. Hence decreasing refrigeration load can make a major improvement on the process energy balance. In industrial p...
