Performance of alternative refrigerants in heat pumps and air conditioners.

Author(s) : SPATZ M. W., ZHENG J.

Summary

The paper presents the results of both modelling and testing a representative 10.6 kilowatt air-to-air heat pump running with the baseline refrigerant (R22) and zero ozone-depleting-potential alternative refrigerants. Alternative refrigerant simulation runs are made with two pure fluids (R134a and R152a) and an azeotropic mixture (60-40 wt%) of R32 and R125. The expansion device, the heat exchangers, and line sizes are optimized for each refrigerant. Results of the comparisons are given.
