Summary

Alternative refrigerants with low-GWP are under investigation for residential heat pumps and air-conditioners as R-410A has a GWP of 2088. In this paper, two promising alternative refrigerants, DR-5A (R-454B) and L41-2 (R-447A), both HFC-HFO mixtures with a GWP of 466 and 583 respectively, were tested in a residential reversible air-to-water heat pump. The results show that R-410A replacement by L41-2 and DR-5A does not raise any particular problem and the performance obtained is, aside from some few exceptions, almost equivalent (+/-10%) to that with R-410A. These experimental results provide better understanding and knowledge about R-410A replacement in heat pumps.
