Applying a magnetic field on liquid line of vapour compression system is a novel technique to increase a performance of the system

Performance of hydrocarbon refrigerants in a refrigerator with liquid line magnet and CNT nano-lubricant

“…Researchers have observed similar performance benefits in various refrigeration systems when applying magnetic fields to circulating refrigerants. Tipole et al [ 19 ] investigated the effect of magnetic field strength on energy characteristics in a refrigeration system. The magnetic field initiates intermolecular forces that reduce the viscosity of circulating refrigerant in the test refrigerator [ 19 ].…”

“…Tipole et al [ 19 ] investigated the effect of magnetic field strength on energy characteristics in a refrigeration system. The magnetic field initiates intermolecular forces that reduce the viscosity of circulating refrigerant in the test refrigerator [ 19 ]. The reduction in viscosity invariably enhances the pumping power, heat transfer efficiency, and compressor energy consumption, and also increases the coefficient of performance.…”

“…[ 23 ], improved the energy performance of the refrigeration system. Tipole et al [ 19 ] studied the effect of varying magnetic field strength along the liquid line of a refrigeration test rig separately infused with R600a and R134a refrigerants. Tipole et al [ 19 ] observed improvement in energy characteristics resulting from the viscosity reduction of the working fluids.…”

Tipole et al [ 19 ] observed improvement in energy characteristics resulting from the viscosity reduction of the working fluids. In addition, enhancement in the behaviour of similar thermal systems occurs with the application of 0–3 pairs of 3000 Gauss permanent magnets [ 19 , 24 ].…”

Effect of a Magnetic Quadrupole Field on Entropy Generation in Thermomagnetic Convection of Paramagnetic Fluid with and without a Gravitational Field

“…Many studies have been published in the fields of fluid mechanics and heat transfer over several decades [1][2][3][4][5][6]. The application of strong magnetic fields on the control of natural convection of non-ferrous materials (i.e., paramagnetic air or diamagnetic water) has received considerable attention [7][8][9][10][11][12]. Braithwaite et al [3] reported the control of thermal-convection of paramagnetic fluids by the relative orientation of the magnetic field gradient and the temperature gradient.…”
