Nanofluid is the stable suspensions of nano particles in base fluids. Nanofluid exhibits many interestingproperties and can be applied in many applications for enhancing performance and effectiveness. This article discussesthe enhancement of CoP of refrigeration system by inclusion of nano particles in refrigerant. The novel nanorefrigerantis a nanofluid that shows better heat transfer performance over conventional refrigerants. Low volume concentration ofNano particles in refrigerant can improve the performance of a refrigeration system in the temperature range from 4ï‚°Cto 160ï‚°C. It decreases the energy consumption and improves efficiency of system. It was observed that addition of nanoparticles in refrigerant reduced energy consumption up to 26.1% and improved performance by 4.4%. Moreover it isobserved that it increase CoP and 11% reduction in compressor work. However, increased density of nanorefrigerant,stability of nano particle in refrigerant, lower specific heat and increased pressure drop & pumping powers are themajor challenges associated with inclusion of nano particles in refrigerant. Nano refrigerant can be employed inindustry only after carefully addressing these few barriers and challenges which have been identified in this article
