Nanofluids as a working fluid are reckoned to be a promising choice for quite a few modern day heat transfer applications. The superior thermo-physical properties of nanofluids have led to a significant awareness for energy conservation and improvement in the efficiency of several thermal systems, encompassing refrigeration systems. Nanoparticles are suspended in a base refrigerant to form nanorefrigerants, a class of nanofluids. This paper consists of an extensive review of nanofluid based refrigeration systems, taking into account, their thermo-physical properties and performance characteristics. Thermal conductivity and other properties being dependent on temperature can increase the efficiency of thermal systems, while working at high temperature. A review consisting of a study of performance characteristics and thermo-physical properties has been presented in this paper. Moreover, recent studies related to nanofluid based refrigeration systems have been summarized in the paper.
