The effect of silica nanoparticle on thermal, chemical, corrosive, and the nature‐friendly properties of refrigerant compressor lubricants—A comparative study

Abstract: Polyolester (POE) oil and mineral (Min) oil are widely used in household refrigerators as compressors lubricants in India. An experimental calculation on the thermal, chemical, corrosion, and nature-friendly properties of POE oil and Min oil suspended with silica nanoparticles is conducted for confirming its practicality to adopt in refrigeration compressors as nanolubricant. No surfactants were used for synthesizing the nanolubricants. The mass fractions from 0.01% to 0.2% and temperatures from 25 C to 85 C a… Show more

“…With an increase in temperature, a significant improvement in thermal conductivity was observed, especially at higher temperatures. This is attributable to the fact that rising temperature boosts the Brownian motion of nanoparticles, resulting in more particles in an energized state, facilitating greater energy transfer 25 . Collectively, these nanorefrigerants showcased a thermal conductivity that was 8.31% superior to pure refrigerant, peaking at an impressive 12.59% at 25°C.…”
