Design and Fabrication of Simple Thermoacoustic Refrigerator

Abstract

Thermoacoustic refrigeration is a type of refrigeration, which is environment friendly and safe. This provides the broader scope for further research. Pros comprises of the presence of immovable parts and no release of toxic ozone depleting gases including cfcs and Freon. The combination of both disciplines, thermal and acoustics, is captivating the attention of many researchers. The core purpose of this experiment is to examine the working of stack by using the parameters related to thermoacoustic refrigerator and is considered to be as a heart of thermoacoustic system. Low cost and porous material was utilized in the system for the testing and study of performance. The variables, which are considered while examining the performance of the refrigerator, are length and position of stack. The guidance was taken regarding the geometrical configuration of stack.
