Experimental Study of a Domestic Refrigerator with POE-AI2O3 Nanolubricant

This paper presents the performance of a minibar domestic refrigerator operating with and without nanoparticles of alumina oxide, Al2O3. The Al2O3 nanoparticles were mixed with polyolester (POE) lubricant to form nano-lubricant at 0.2% concentration by volume and were prepared via a two-step metho...

The Al2O3 nanoparticles were mixed with polyolester (POE) lubricant to form nano-lubricant at 0.2% concentration by volume and were prepared via a two-step method. The nano-lubricant was introduced into the refrigerator at different refrigerant charges ranging from 36 to 44 psi.

The performance of the refrigerator operating with POE-Al2O3 was improved compared with the system working with POE in terms of energy consumption and COP. The energy consumption of the refrigeration system with POE-Al2O3 at optimum refrigerant charge was the minimum and maximum COP of 321 Wh and 2.67. The highest percentage of energy consumption reduction was 2.1% at the optimum refrigerant charge. Thus, the addition of Al2O3 nanoparticles to the base fluid (POE) gave better performance and reduction of power consumption.
