Abstract

In present days applications of Nano-PCMs are buildings, in heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems play a vital role in reducing CO2 emissions. The use of Nano-PCMs enhances thermal properties improves system performance and reduces power consumption. In future global warming increases, hence Nano-PCM will coated walls and
ceilings for achieving thermal and human comfort in modern buildings is of practice now. Thermal energy storage can be done by sensible storage, latent storage, and chemical storage. Out of them in case of latent energy storage, the material undergoes in phase transformation i.e. solid to liquid, liquid to gas, solid to solid. Now a day there are
tremendous opportunities for use of phase change material for various lower temperature applications like cold storage, building cooling and heating, milk and food processing industries, refrigeration transportation, chillers, etc. This paper gives the idea of the use of phase change material along with nanoparticles in cold chain applications by considering the
advantages and disadvantages of both sides. This paper summarized different properties of phase change material and nanoparticle probably used for lower temperature applications. In this review, paper attempts have been given on improving the refrigeration system performance by thermal storage with Nano-phase change materials.
