Author(s) : BULGURCU H., ACÜL H.

Summary

The correct selection of refrigerants according to their application areas is a crucial matter of expertise. Today, issues such as the variety of refrigerant alternatives, their performance, environmental restrictions that vary by country, price, availability, etc. are prominent. In this context, confusion can arise among companies manufacturing in the refrigeration and air conditioning sectors. Furthermore, the purity and price of alternative refrigerants can vary depending on the technological infrastructure in the production countries. While impure refrigerants are inexpensive, they can reduce performance and damage compressors. The selection and performance evaluation of alternative refrigerants is a crucial issue, especially for companies producing in Turkey and exporting abroad. This study focuses on alternative refrigerant selection according to application areas and presents emerging long-term alternatives. The performance and application limitations of refrigerants selected according to application areas compared to existing refrigerants are theoretically evaluated. An Excel selection sheet has also been created to facilitate refrigerant selection.
