In the throat cutting era of competition which has its base in research and development every concept ofenergy conversion is subjected to improvisation. With a view of above recent trend the performance of various thermalequipments are subjected to research and development so as to increase the energy conversion from one form of energyto another form. The following work represents research in the field of heat exchanger and specifically indicatingtransfer of heat from higher to lower temperature. Since various fluids have been used to attend higher heat transfer, themore efficient fluid is Nano fluid. In the present work the performance test on chiller unit had been carried out by usingNano fluid. Water based Al2O3 (Alumina) has used as a coolant. The Nano fluid was prepared by using differentcomposition of water and Al2O3 nanoparticles and it used as the working fluid. The performance has checked by varyingthe flow rate of Nano fluid in the condenser.
