Abstract

Practical application of TiO2 nanoparticles doping for domestic refrigerator working with isobutene is considered. Experimental studies of energy consumption This work has demonstrated that nanoparticles can improve the performance of the refrigerator. The energy consumption test was conducted to compare the performance of the refrigerator with nano-refrigerant and pure refrigerant so as to provide the basic data for the application of the nanoparticles in the refrigeration system. It was demonstrated the nanoparticle doping reduces energy consumption of refrigerator ДХ-271 010 D 256/255/465 N/ST2,0 A+ about 4,7% at 0,05% nanoparticle concentation.
