Summary

The urgency of climate change requires the adoption of alternative refrigerant with reduced GWP. R455A, a blend of R1234uf. R32 and CO2 met the sub-150 GWP requirement of EU-zone F-gas regulation and is considered for long-term alternative working fluid. For system design, pressure drop data is required, therefore, in this work the pressure drop is measured inside multiport mini-channel at different working condition with a newly assembled experimental system. Result shows an increase of pressure drop with mass flux and vapor quality. Data is compared against correlations of pressure drop in literature and a correlation is proposed with fitting experimental data for engineering purposes.
