Thermo Acoustic Refrigeration and Cooling Effects
Keywords:
Thermal Acoustic Effect, Working Fluid, Thermo Acoustics, Piezo Electric effect, DriversAbstract
This paper will discuss the development of a thermo acoustic setup to create cooling effect by utilizing sound energy, and its performance, thermoacoustic refrigeration is an emerging refrigeration technology which does not require any moving parts or harmful refrigerants in its operation. This technology uses acoustic waves to pump heat across a temperature gradient.one of the applications is thermo acoustic refrigeration. It is a technology in which it does not contain any harmful and moving parts. This system works on temperature gradient of sound waves. It has two subcategories one is forward effect which deals with pressure oscillations by generation of heat. This helps in producing thermo acoustic engine. another one is reversed effect which deals with acoustic waves to heat pump. This effect is used to create thermo acoustic refrigerator.
