Competition between synthetic and natural refrigerants: contributions to the art and science of thermal systems.
Author(s) : HRNJAK P. S.
Summary
This paper presents an overview of expectations as we begin to reconsider CO2 systems versus those using R134a and other synthetic refrigerants and discusses the effects of thermodynamic properties on cycle performance and thermophysical considerations on the system. A brief overview of the results of the alternative refrigerant Cooperative Research Program (CRP) of SAE International - probably the most comprehensive and fair experimental comparative analysis for mobile air-conditioning (MAC) systems - is used as an illustration of the approach and provides real results. We also present the influence of the development of CO2 technologies on R134a systems, i.e., transfer of technology. Finally, the author presents the progression of MAC system performance with the clear statement that the differences among refrigerants in same-size systems were significantly smaller than the improvement of all systems. Regardless of the outcome, the beneficiaries of the competition are the entire professional community and humanity as a whole.
