Compressor calorimeter experiments on R502 and R22 alternatives.

Summary

Recently, several promising candidates for replacing R502 and R22 in commercial refrigeration and residential heat pump applications have been proposed and tested. Among them, the alternatives SUVA HP62 for replacing R502 and SUVA AC9000 for replacing R22, have been found acceptable for many existing and new systems requiring little to no equipment modifications. There is, however, potential to further improve the performance of these alternatives for both existing and new equipment. Understanding the compressor characteristics of these compounds is one of the most important key factors for this purpose. The authors have performed compressor calorimeter tests for these alternatives as well as with R502 and R22. The experimental data have been analyzed with theoretical cycle calculations, and several implications of the present findings will be discussed.
