ABSTRACT

In spite of previous research in Air Condition, now days because of improvement in time and cost we should apply modern technology such as nano technology in this part of science and research. In this paper, the performance and Heat transfer of a refrigeration cycle with nanoparticles in the working fluid was investigated experimentally. Water with nanoparticles mixtures were used in this experiment. The tests with carbon nano tube nanoparticles showed that the different particle volume fractions have different effect on the refrigerator performance. According to results, it is shown that increasing in CNT particles will be caused great temperature gradient in entry and discharging evaporator respect to pure water. Thus, nanoparticles can be used in refrigeration cycle to considerably increase heat transfer.
