The objective of this paper was to study the application and working fluid type of a closed-loop oscillating heat pipe with check valves on energy consumption in split type air conditioning system. In the experiment, the CLOHP/CV was fabricated from the copper tube with the diameter of 2.03 mm. In the usual range of 20-27 degrees C indoor design temperature and 50% relative humidity. R134a. R22 and R502 refrigerant was used as working fluid in the CLOHP/CV set for this study. In comparison of the type with a conventional air conditioning system and that with the CLOHP/CV air conditioning system, the results have shown that; the new cooling load had increased 3.6%, the latter gave the highest value of 14.9%, 17.6% for COP and EER, respectively. The highest value of heat flux was 5.19 kW/m(2) with RI 34a was used as the working fluid, at overall operating temperature. The results of this study are expected to guideline as they improve the performance of the air conditioning system in buildings, which reduce its energy consumption. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.
