Predicting system performance of alternative refrigerants using a water-water heat pump.

Author(s) : OUAZIA B., SNELSON W. K.

Summary

The paper presents a simulation program suitable for the preliminary evaluation of refrigerants and refrigerant mixtures in a vapour compression cycle. The model has been developed to simulate the performance of alternative refrigerants operating in a water-water heat pump test facility used for the testing of new working fluids. The model is used to calculate important performance characteristics, including evaporator capacity, compressor shaft power, refrigerant mass flow, cooling COP, etc. A comparative analysis is made on the thermodynamic performance of the heat pump operating with R134a.
