THERMOACOUSTIC REFRIGERATION SYSTEM

Abstract

Thermo acoustic is arecent phenomenon which is used to develop the engines and pumps. Thermo acoustic refrigeration is one such phenomenon that uses high intensity sound waves in a pressurized gas tube to pump heat from one place to other to produce refrigeration effect. In this type of refrigeration the conventional refrigerants are eliminated and sound waves are used as a refrigerant. All we need is a loud speaker and an acoustically insulated tube. Also this system completely eliminates the need for lubricants and results in 40% less energy consumption. Thermo acoustic heat engines have the advantage of operating with inert gases and with little or no moving parts, making them highly efficient ideal candidate for environmentally-safe refrigeration with almost zero maintenance cost. In this paper we are presented a thermo acoustic refrigerator, its principle and functions.
