Abstract

A stepped short tube orifice has been proposed as a replacement for the expansion mechanism in a residential refrigerator that runs on R-290. The present work is primarily concerned with the impacts of stepped short tube orifices on system characteristics such as net refrigeration effect, compressor effort, pull down time, and coefficient of performance. A stepped short tube orifice is made up of two short tube orifices linked serially and having varying sizes. It is used as an extension to the capillary tube in the refrigeration system. A stepped short tube orifice is built and fitted to a home refrigerator in this experiment. The experiments must be done on a home refrigerator equipped with a stepped short tube orifice, R-290 refrigerant, and a 0.5% weight SiO2 nanoparticle. Following the completion of all trials, the effects of the stepwise short tube orifice on a residential refrigerator were studied using comparison charts. The results indicate that the performance of the home refrigerator with stepped short tube orifice and SiO2 nano particle inclusion was much better than the domestic refrigerator without stepped short tube orifice
