Refrigerant charge reduction in refrigerating systems, 25th Informatory Note on refrigeration technologies.

Author(s) : IIF-IIR, CORBERÁN J. M., et al.

Type of article: Informatory note

Summary

The 25th IIR Informatory Note on Refrigerant Charge Reduction in Refrigerating Systems provides information on refrigerant charge and charge distribution, optimal charge, design of reduced charge systems and IIR recommendations. Minimisation of charge in future refrigeration equipment remains an important target in refrigeration technology development. Nevertheless, minimisation of charge cannot be achieved at the expense of unit efficiency since this would imply higher electricity consumption leading to higher indirect CO2 emissions. Additionally, regulations impose maximum charge values depending on the refrigerant and on the application. Therefore, minimisation of charge becomes one of the most important requirements for future refrigeration equipment.
