Abstract
The impact of hazardous refrigerants used in
the conventional vapor compression refrigeration system
and environmental issues related to VCRS system,
alternative refrigeration technologies receive the
attention of researcher’s. The thermo acoustic
refrigeration not utilizes any harmful refrigerants it uses
only inert gasses as their working fluid, which does not
cause any adverse effect on the environment. This review
focuses on the various component of TAR and
optimization methods use to improve the system
performance. Most of the studies related to stack
geometry, stack center position, resonance cavity and its
length. The other work related with a heat exchanger,
different algorithm’s for system parameters optimization
to get desired output along with COP of the
thermoacoustic refrigeration system. Regarding current
scenario, thermoacoustic refrigeration could be an
emerging technology in a refrigeration system
