Vapor compression refrigeration systems play an important role in refrigeration applications, which are sein to be one of the most energy consuming technologies. Improving energy efficiency of these systems is a nowadays challenge, due to environmental benefits. On the other hand, the use of ecological refrigerants (ODP=0 and low GWP) is an actual trend, in accordance with international regulations. This paper focuses on the performance of a vapor compression system in two cases: when the working fluid is a pure refrigerant (R600a) and when the working fluid is a nanorefrigerant (R600a/Al2O3). The nanorefigerant has resulted by adding Al2O3 nanoparticles the environmental friendly refrigerant R600a. The results indicate that the system working with the nanorefrigerant has an enhanced performance; also, it is investigated its behavior when keeping the evaporation temperature constant and the condensation temperature varies.Read More
