Performance analysis of cooling based on thermoacoustic principle

Present cooling techniques were first brought into existence in the nineteenth century. The usage of them would have risen dramatically during the past several decades. Vapour compression systems that employ a substantial refrigerant are used to chill most homes nowadays. Over the last year, it has been revealed that typical freezers have a negative impact on the environment and are also rather large. As a result, the thermoacoustic refrigerator was created to eliminate the usage of harmful chemicals. Refrigeration is used in almost every aspect of daily life, including houses, automobiles, and less visible applications such as cryogenic cooling. The latter is crucial in the medical profession as well as the transportation of gaseous fuels like natural gas or hydrogen on trains, aircraft and other vehicles. Thermoacoustic refrigeration is a specialized technique that is often ignored as a source of cooling. Thermoacoustic cooling uses heat as an input and does not require any moving parts, making it a potentially appealing alternative. This study looks at the possibility of bringing thermoacoustic refrigeration to a larger market than it presently has. From the studies carried out it was found that efficiency of thermoacoustic cooling system is 12% as of now and recently developments are going on to improve the performance of this type of cooling system. This paper gives a detailed experimental information about the performance of thermoacoustic cooling system.
