Characteristic efficiencies and costs for air-conditioning equipment with selected refrigerant alternatives.

Author(s) : CALM J. M.

Type of article: Periodical article

Summary

The document summarizes analyses of the comparative efficiencies of selected refrigerant alternatives in representative air-conditioning equipment. The data were prepared and consolidated as inputs to a study of global warming. The objective was to facilitate assessment of impacts from use of refrigerants. The performance data provided enable evaluation of indirect effects for conventionally applied and near-term alternatives. Efficiency data are presented for several equipment cost levels to permit trade-off comparisons between fluid substitutions and performance enhancements. The background, approach, and analyses are summarized in this report. Resulting data are tabulated for representative air conditioner, heat pump, and chiller capacities. Vapour-compression-cycle equipment using R11, R12, R22, R123 and R134a are addressed. Direct-fired, absorption-cycle chillers, both single-effect using ammonia-water and double-effect using water-lithium bromide, also are included. Limitations to the study resulting from both competitive and antitrust considerations are outlined.
