Current paper presents a review of vapor compression system and modifications made by various researchers to increase performance of vapor compression system. The vapor compression cycle is a well-established refrigeration technique used in most household refrigerators, air conditioners, and many large commercial and industrial refrigeration systems. However, mankind is facing serious problems concerning the global environment, and the emissions of conventional refrigerant fluids such as chlorofluorocarbon (CFC), hydro chlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) and hydro fluorocarbon (HFC) are responsible for ozone depletion or greenhouse effect. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new technologies that can reduce ozone depletion, global warming and increase efficiency of vapor compression system. This article has studied various literatures presenting effect of magnetic field (constant and alternating) on vapor compression water chiller and on the performance of new refrigerant mixtures, effect by changing various parameters of VCC and effect of fault detection techniques on chiller system.
