Performance Enhancement of Vapor Compression Refrigeration Systems Using Nanofluids: A Comprehensive Review of Heat Transfer Characteristics, Energy Efficiency, and Future Challenges

Abstract The increasing demand for energy-efficient and environmentally sustainable refrigeration systems has encouraged the development of advanced heat transfer technologies. Among these, nanofluids have emerged as a promising solution due to their enhanced thermal conductivity and heat transfer performance. By dispersing nanoparticles into refrigerants or compressor lubricants, nanofluids can improve heat transfer, reduce compressor power consumption, and increase the coefficient of performance (COP) of vapor compression refrigeration systems (VCRSs).
This review summarizes recent advances in the application of nanofluids in VCRSs, focusing on commonly used nanoparticles such as Al₂O₃, CuO, TiO₂, SiO₂, graphene, carbon nanotubes, and hybrid nanofluids. It discusses their thermophysical properties, heat transfer enhancement mechanisms, and their effects on system performance based on experimental and numerical studies. The review also highlights key challenges, including nanoparticle stability, increased viscosity, compatibility with refrigerants, and economic considerations. Finally, current research gaps and future directions are identified to support the development of efficient and sustainable refrigeration technologies. Overall, the findings indicate that nanofluids offer significant potential for improving the thermal performance and energy efficiency of vapor compression refrigeration systems.
